Our Love (1D Fanfic)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

(At the garden)

*This happened after Charlotte left*

~Niall~

Charlotte just had to come here acting all innocent thinking that I'd actually be the old- friendly-nice-Niall. 

What a dumb- butt. Why would she think that?

I'm not accepting her before I move on. I know that I haven't moved on. That's why I go all pissed off and rude to her. To make her stay away from me so I can move on and forget about her.

But even if she's not near me, I feel like she's always near me. Like the old times. Why is that I can drop my feelings for her except I can't let her go?

She hurt me. She made me think I could... be hers. I don't love her. Not anymore.

I'm never gonna think of her as the girl I thought would be mine. Nor, as the girl who hurt me on my rooftop.

She'll only be the pianist for our tour. That's all she is to me now.

Nothing more, nothing less.

This is getting too much. If I wanna forget about her, I'll have to stop thinking about her. I should call Sarina and check on her.

"Hey it's Sarina, call me later and I'll try calling you later :)" Her dial tone played. Did she go shopping or something?

Gah, what is with her these past few weeks? She's been really distant around me. In the airport, Paul had to rush her to the mini van where the other management team would be. She's not known to the fans, yet. She's still a "secret". Paul said it's best for her and me.

Is that why she's acting all strange? Or does she think I still have this thing for Charlotte? I hope not. Cause she's the girl who matters to me the most and I know she'll keep holding on to our relationship.

I get a call back and I think it's her but I find out it's just Paul. Damn, I've been fooled. He could've just called me down here. What the heck? Lazy lad. "What's up?" I greeted him.

"Come up, practice is starting earlier." "What? Why? Can't you give 15 more minutes? We're all tired." "You still have to practice for tomorrow's gig Niall! Come on, get your butt up here and let's rehearse. Call the rest if you see them," he hanged up after, not giving me a chance to beg once more.

Looks like I'll have to start working. Sigh. I get up and walked to the door. Before climbing to the long stairs, I hear giggles.

What's going on? Is there food? And more importantly, whose giggles are those?

I peeked and saw Charlotte and Josh. Playing. Oh great, here's flirty Charlotte. I can't believe Josh actually has this vision of seeing her as a perfect girl. She'll break his heart in pieces too. Just wait.

"Ouch!" Charlotte shouted. I was about to run towards her, but I stopped. Why would I go save her if she's just the pianist? Nothing else. Besides, she can help herself. She's already a grown girl.

Suddenly, Josh pulls up his shirt and wipes her eye. Is this guy for real or what? Trying to win her heart? Well, he better try harder cause I can do a lot better than that!

Wait, what am I saying? I can, but I can't. She's nothing to me. Nothing important.

Then another surprise came. Charlotte hugged him from behind. Oh, she did not. She gives him a hug and I don't get one?

Traitor.

Oh god, what did I just say again? I am not getting jealous over Josh. He's a great lad, and I'm not getting mad at him just cause some girl who ruined my life gave him a hug!

No. No.

He broke the hug and faced her, and hugged her back. I heard him whisper something but it wasn't clear.

Instead, her smile showed it to me.

I've had enough. All right, kids, play time is over. Time to get serious.

I called them and rushed upstairs, avoiding their stares.

I know I said that Charlotte is just a pianist to me. But clearly, she isn't.

She's still my Charlotte.

*(Heyy. It's me :) The song by the side is my inspiration for the title of this fanfic! And I only heard the bridge when I first heard it in SoundCloud. I couldn't wait to hear the full version, but it took until today when I found the full and high quality version. Anyway, I hoped you liked it!)
