When Everything Changed.

In the moment.

"Mom stop." I said for the fifth time in this conversation.

It had been a week since my parents had found out about Zayn and Brooke and they still were flipping shit on both of us. Me? I have no idea why but they were.

"Don't tell me to stop Mandy. She's 14 years old, he's using her." Mom fired back at me and I thanked the Lord Brooke wasn't around.

"Mom you don't understand. I've heard Zayn talk about her, I've seen the way he acts around her, the way he smiles at her. He loves her mother. You know what it's like to be in love right? You feel it, I feel it, Claire feels it and I know for sure that Brooke feels it as well, just give him a chance mom, you like Zayn." I defended.

"Give us time darling, we'll talk to Brooke later today alone." My dad chimed in.

I nodded and left the room. I walked outside, into the cold fall air, the crunching of leaves beneathe my feet as I headed towards my car.

I drove through town, and stopped at Starbucks. I ordered my coffee and then sat down at a table.

I sipped my coffee and looked around. Everyone was doing their own thing and it was really interesting how much you can tell about a person just by seeing them for a minute. I wonder what people thought about me honestly.

Directioners love me, well most of them anyway. But do they love me just because of Niall? I feel like they do. I'm nothing special.

I shook my head from my depressing thoughts. What was with me today? I was normally happy but today I was just sad. Maybe not seeing Niall for a week was getting to me? Oh well, atleast I'm seeing him tonight. Or maybe it was all the stress at work. I was bombarded with preparation for the showcase since Christmas was around the corner. I just wasn't happy this past week.

"Mandy?" I looked up at the person who had just said my name.

Infront of me stood my bestfriend, err ex bestfriend.. Tori. I didn't know if she still liked me or not.

"Hey Tor..." I smiled and offered her a seat by me.

"Oh so you still want to be my friend?" She asked snottily.

"Tor, I'm sorry. I've just been busy okay? Of course your still my bestfriend." I told her.

"It doesn't feel like it.." She frowned.

"Tori please. I don't wanna fight anymore. I'm sick of fighting." I whispered.

She sat down next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

"I know. I'm sorry for being a bitch. Best friends again?" She smiled at me.

"We never stopped stupid." I smiled and hugged her tightly.

I was feeling happier now.

"Hey babe." Niall greeted and welcomed me into his house. Finally, after a week, we both had time off and were together again. It was about 2 in the afternoon right now.

I flung myself onto him, wrapping my arms so tight around his neck I might have stopped his breathing. He held me tight too. I inhaled deeply, finally feeling fully happy again.

"I've missed you so much." I whispered to him.

He brought me over to his room and we laid down on the bed.

"I've missed you too babe." He smiled at me. He tilted my chin upward and pressed his warm lips on mine.

"I like your new hair." I said to him as I pulled away. He had died it blonder and it was perfectly styled into a quiff.
