My Secret Heart

Chapter 6

When we got back to Louis's, we all just hung out and had some fun playing video games, watching tv and eating. I was getting use to the boys now, they weren't so bad. They were actually really nice, and treated me like I had been their friend for years upon years.

We were all sitting in the living room watching, well I didn't really know what we were watching. It was getting late and Zayn and Harry had fallen asleep. Liam was dozing off, but once his phone beeped he would reply to the text and doze off again. Louis went to go change clothes and never came back, so I figured he crawled in bed and went to sleep. Niall and I were the only ones fully awake.

He was eating cookies on the floor while I was sitting on the couch, fiddling around on my phone. I looked down at Niall and he was already looking at me.

He smiled "You want some" he asked lifting the box of cookies.

"Sure" I said moving from the couch to next to him on the floor. I was such a pig when it came to cookies, and I guess so was Niall, considering the box was gone about five minutes after we starting eating them. He reached in the box to grab another cookie and was surprised by the fact they were all gone.

"I guess we both love cookies allot" he chucked as he showed me the empty box.

"I'm such a pig when it comes to chocolate" I told him.

"I'm a pig when it comes to any kind of food" he said laughing. We both laughed and looked back at the tv. I wasn't even watching though. By now Liam was asleep along with all the other boys.

"So, how long have you exactly known Louis?" Niall asked me.

"Its been so many years" I told him.

Me and Louis met in 4th grade. I remember him being the goofy one everyone always laughed at. It all started when it was lunch period, and I couldn't find a table to sit at. I decided to sit at a random table. I sat down next to this really funny boy, he was constantly cracking jokes, and I couldn't stop laughing. He turns to me "Wanna be friends" and of course I said "Yeah sure" he was just so funny, I absolutely love people who make me laugh. "I'm Louis" he told me "And I'm Maggie" I told him. Everyday after that day we hung out and became really close friends, we didn't go a day without talking to each other. Ever sence then me and Louis have been best friends and we always will be.

Niall and I talked for a quit a while. Until I decided it was getting really late and I better get going home. Everyone was asleep though and I rode with Harry and them back to Louis. And Louis and the rest of the boys are asleep. Guess I will just have to walk home.

"I will drive you home" Niall said standing up.

"Oh you don't have to do that, I can just walk" I told him.

"Don't be crazy in the head, I'm not letting you walk" he told me. He was so sweet, I didn't know what to say.

"Thanks" I smiled at him. I think Niall was the sweetest person I know. I know that's sad considering Louis and all, but Niall just...he has something special about him. I think I was starting to like him...like as more than a friend. But I can't. He doesn't like me like that and I don't want to like him like that. I don't want my heart to get broken..

"Maggie, can I tell you something" Niall told me once we got in the car.

"Yeah sure, anything" I was kinda scared to hear what he was going to say.

"Now don't think I'm crazy for this, but I think you are one of my best friends, you make me happy" he told me. I was speechless. The guy I might like, just called me his one of his best friends!

"Same for you Niall" I told him place my hand on his. I really ment it. He was so sweet and I felt like I could tell him anything.

As I got home before I closed the door and told Niall goodnight he stopped me,"Hey...um how about you call me tomorrow morning...and..and we go do something together?" he asked stumbling over his words.

"Sure" I said smiling. "Do you have my number?"

"Oh no" he said pulling out his phone. "Ok what's your number?"

I told him my number and he saved it in his phone.

"Ok thanks, I will text you my number when I get home" he told me.

"Ok thanks for taking me home, and...hanging out with me tonight" I told him.

"No problem I had fun" he told me. "Me too" I said smiling.

"Well text me tomorrow" he said turning around, then looking back as he smiled and waved goodbye. When I closed the door, I couldn't stop smiling. I was going to hangout with a pretty awesome guy...one of my best friends tomorrow.
