Just Trying to Keep Up {Niall Horan Fan Fic}

Prologue:

I wait for Niall by the fountain in town park. Today is a musty day, the clouds were covering the sun, the wind was blowing softly, and I wrapped my arms around myself to keep myself from getting chilled. The fountain behind slowly spews out water and makes little splashes. It slightly gets me wet, but I dont mind. I look around and see that nothing else is moving. Like everythung else is frozen during this cloudy day. I then see a tall blonde, boy heading my way. It's Niall. My stomach starts to rumble with butterflies as he gets closer. My palms start getting sweaty, and a rush of nerves run up my spine. How am I supposed to tell him? Will he get mad? Or will he be happy? I just don't know.

"Hi." He says as he approaches me at the fountain.

"Hey." I barely cough up.

"Are you okay, Florence?" He asks sitting down next to me and then putting his arm around me to give me warmth. I swallow hard and nod slowly. There's an awkward silence besides the fountain splashing behind us. I take a deep breath. And say "Today I went to the doctor..."

Niall looks at me in concern "Have you been feeling okay?" He asks.

"Yeah fine." I say. Then start laughing nervously. "Actually better than fine, Niall. I'm pregnant. With your baby." I look at him to see his reaction.

He looks at me as if I've just slapped him with a brick. Then just starts to laugh.

"What's funny about this Niall?" I ask seriously. I push his arm off me and stand up.

"This is a joke right? You're kidding... Right?" He asks more concerned now. I give him a serious look and say "No, Niall, I'm serious."

He puts his face in his hands and shakes his head.

"No, no, no.." He says to himself. I try to keep back the tears of disappointment. I was hoping Niall would be happy for the both of us... But apparently not.

He looks up at me looking as frightened as ever.

"I can't do this Florence." He says.

"Wh- What?" I stutter.

"I can't take care of this baby."

"But it's ours, Niall." And the tears finally come out. "You can't just leave me alone to take care of this child, Niall."

"Florence, I will always love you and this baby of ours... But I just can't start a family now..." He says as he tries to wipe off my tears but I move his hand away from my face.

"Why can't you?" I ask.

"I have a whole future Florence! I have One Direction, the fans, and I just can't drop it now!" He yells. "It's only the beginning for me and the boys."

"So apparently I'm not good enough for you to keep. I'm just your drop option arnt I?" I ask looking him in the eyes. He doesn't reply. "Isn't this the beginning for us, Niall?"

He shakes his head and his eyes get watery.

"It's much more than that Florence." He says.

"No. No it's not." I say sternly. "If you don't want to help me raise this baby then that's fine. I can do it, me and this child will be fine. I won't tell the press that you're the father we can just say that we broke up because I cheated on you or something. I mean really everything is about One Direction and Niall. Never Florence and Niall."

"No Florence-" he says reaching for my hand but I slap him.

"No. Goodbye, Niall. This was never actually the beginning. It was the end." I say and turn away from him softly crying to myself and holding my stomach. I could hear Niall yelling at himself. He didn't even try to come after me. Just stood there yelling at his stupidity. No, not his stupidity of letting me go, but getting me pregnant. This was just the end of, us but the beginning for me and my new child.

It was time for our new life together. She won't ever know her father, and that will be his own fault. But I will do this, I'll just have to keep trying until I get it right.
