My Secret Heart

Chapter 7

About ten minutes after Niall left, I got a text message from a number that hadn't been saved in my phone. It said 'Hey Maggie, this is Niall;)' I smiled at the text and saved his number in my phone. I didn't reply just because I felt no need to reply to the simple message. I fell asleep as soon as I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes.

I woke up the next morning and called Niall. It rang twice and then I heard his Irish accent pick up.

"Hello?" he asked as he picked up the phone.

"Hey Niall, Its Maggie" I told him.

"Oh hey! I thought I got your number wrong sense you didn't reply to my text last night" he said.

I thought of what to say and then spoke "Yeah sorry, I was just really tired" I lied.

"Ok that's fine. Did you get a good sleep in?" he asked me.

"Yes I did. Did you?" I asked back.

"Well I had to sleep on the floor because the boys took up all the couches. But it was a ok night. Any who, so you want to hang out just you and me today?" he asked.

"Sure" I said smiling through the phone. "What do you want to do?" I asked.

It was silent on the other end of the line for a while. "How about go shopping down town and then go for lunch or something?" he asked.

"Sounds good, meet you in a hour?" I asked.

"Sure I will pick you up" he told me.

"Okay, great bye" and at that I hung up the phone.

I jumped in the shower and got out in less than five minutes and went to my closet. I picked my outfit for the day to be jeaned shorts, a tan summery open stitched sweater with a peach cami underneath, with some cute sandals. I applied the natural looking makeup and scrunched my hair into loose curls. I sprayed on some of my favorite perfume and applied a little lip gloss.

I had about twenty minutes till Niall would be picking me up. So I decided to sit down on the couch and watch some tv. As soon as I turned the tv on, my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered, it was Louis.

"Hey ducky, you want to meet me and the boys at the ice rink at three?" he asked me.

"Sorry, but me and Niall are hanging out today" I told him.

"You and Niall?" He asked. "He didn't tell me about this" he told me from the other end of the phone.

"What, does Niall have to have your permission to hang out with me?" I asked confused.

"Well I thought we were all going to hang out today. But instead you go off and decide to spend your day with Niall" he said, his voice had anger in it.

I stood up from the couch as I replied.

"Well maybe I have other friends than just you, me and Niall can hang out with each other without having permission from you" I told him as I started to get mad. He was being stupid why did he even care? We were just going out for the day.

"Well I thought you were my best friend. I don't want you hanging out with Niall today" he commanded me.

"What does our friendship have to do with me and Niall's? Your my best friend Lou, why is it such a big deal me and Niall are friends? I have other friends besides just you" I told him getting really anger, I started walking around the room over and over again.

"And you cannot tell me what to do! I'm spending my day with Niall and you can't do anything about it!" I yelled at him though the phone.

"You have to pick Niall? Why cant we just hangout?" he asked me in a harsh tone.

"Because that's exactly how I felt when you brought the boys here!" I screamed at him through the phone, I was about to cry. I remembered exactly how I felt the day the boys got here, rage took over me. After I was finally getting use to the boys, and my best friend started yelling at me. We never fought, maybe about little things, but nothing like this. I had no clue why he was being like this.

It was silent for a little bit on the other end of the phone. I forgot I hadn't told him how I felt about the boys. "Why Niall?" he asked a little calmer.

"Because we are friends, Lou! Why is this such a big deal to you?" I asked with such anger in my voice, I want to punch someone.

"You know what....bye" he yelled and hung up the phone.

I threw my phone on the couch and screamed. I fell to the floor and ran my hands through my hair. The tears were starting to build up in my eyes but I wouldn't let them fall. I had no idea why he was acting this way to me and Niall hanging out. Niall was his friend too. He wanted me and the boys to become close friends over the next few months, and then he acts like this. It made me mad!

The door bell rang, it was Niall. I grabbed my phone and purse and took a quick look in the mirror, fixed my hair and opened the door.

"Hey Mag" Niall said with a smile as he hugged me.

"Hey Niall" I said hugging him back.

After I locked the front door we heading to Niall's car, he opened the door for me and shut it behind me. He was such a gentlemen.

"Ready to go, have a super fun filled day?" He asked smiling at me, once he got in the car.

"Sure am, lets go have bucket load of fun." I said faking a smile.

I wanted to have fun with Niall today, but I just didn't know if I could. Louis was still swarming my mind. I was going to try and keep my mind off of him, but I didn't know how well that would work...I guess we will find out....
