Last Goodbyes (I warn you, Niall is in it) :)

Chapter Fifteen

It's been almost a year since Niall left.

The lads said he was too stressed and that he needed a break

10 months is a really long break :/

Around the first month he was gone, some fans tweet pictures of Niall in Ireland and you could tell he was unaware that they took those pictures. Most people said Niall wouldn't take pictures with anyone and got extremely annoyed when people asked. The fans who did approach him say that he didn't even look at them and things like that. He would just walk away

Soon the pictures stopped coming and it seemed like Niall was really gone

The boys told me that he was probably hiding out all the fan craze over him quitting the band

Well, it's pretty much calmed down

As for the band though, One Direction couldn't be One Direction without Nialler, so they decided to take a well deserved break

Everything is very calm now, in the public's eye

I hate coming home because all the memories still linger

As my mom used to say, "Memories stay the same. People don't"

Occasionally we'll get a couple girls begging for autographs when I go out with the lads

And we're not totally out of the news, since we are considered 'celebrities', everyone pays attention to the boys and I. Well the ones they can find. Hint hint, a certain blonde isn't anywhere to be found

Of course the boys are still friends but it feels like a big piece is missing

And that missing piece is Nialler

Harry and I have been dating for about 9 months now

During the day, I feel in love with Harry, but at night while he's sleeping beside me, I think about everything

With his faint snores beside me, I think about who I really am in love with. Who I belong with.

In other words, I think about Niall

What he's doing, what he's feeling. Does he miss me like I miss him?

I mean, we spent basically our whole lives together

I can't just forget about someone I grew up with

And for my dad, he took Lucy back to America and he's living with her now

I, to be honest, was happy to say goodbye to them, but my mom said they'd be back one day

Hopefully, when they come back, they'll be different people

But a wish is a wish, I can't make it happen

My heart aches whenever I think of Niall. I torture myself by looking at photos,  which I'm doing right now

I sit on the floor in the corner of my room

I go through the same albums, same pictures, wishing he could come back. Wishing he was here to make more memories.

Wishing he was here with me right now, holding the album as I flipped and laughed at every single picture lying in front of us-

"Claire?" Harry mumbled

I quickly tossed aside the picture album

It didn't go very far..

Crap, I totally forgot Harry was over

I usually do this stuff while he's out with the lads

That way he doesn't catch me in my pool of tears
