My Secret Heart

Chapter 9

MAGGIE'S POV:

The day went on. We had a ton of fun and lots of laughs. Even though the rest of the day was going well, I could tell Niall had something on his mind.

"What's up? It looks like you have something on your mind" I asked him.

"Oh nothing" he told me. I didn't believe him. I could tell he had worry and concern in his eyes. Was this about Louis? Did he know something I didn't? No he couldn't have. When I was telling him about the fight he looked confused.

It started getting late and Niall decided he had better take me home.

When he walked me up to the door he told me how much fun he had. He gave me a hug goodnight and turned around to walk back to his car.

"Call me tomorrow" he told me and I nodded my head.

"Goodnight" he told me one last time with a smile.

When I got in bed I kept tossing and turning. My mind was on Louis and Niall. My mind kept going back to the fight me and Louis had, and how Niall had something on his mind, he wouldn't share with me. I couldn't get to sleep... So I decided to watch some tv. It was still pretty early to go to bed anyway.

NIALL'S POV:

As I was driving back to Louis I started to get anger and worried. I didn't know what he was planning but I didn't like it at all. He couldn't just keep me away from her, she was my friend too. Yeah sure, he has been friends with her way longer than I have, but that doesn't make any difference.

I walked into Louis flat and I straight away saw Harry.

"Hey where is Louis at?" I asked with a little anger in my voice.

"He went to go get some groceries, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Has he said anything about Maggie lately to you?" I asked.

"No, he hasn't. But he defiantly wasn't in a good mood today" He told me.

"I figured" I said turning around to go sit on the couch.

"Whats going on?" he asked.

"Louis and Maggie got into a fight, so I called him for her, sense he wasn't picking up. He told me to stay away from her" I paused "I think it has to do something with him liking her, maybe" I told him.

"He likes her? Sense when?"

"I don't know, I'm so confused" right when I said this Louis walked in the door.

"Hey Harry, could you hel-" he stopped speaking once he laid eyes on me. His eyes turned angry.

"Louis I need to talk to you" I told him standing up.

"Harry can you bring in the groceries for me?" he told him walking towards the back porch door.

We both walked out to the back porch and as soon as he shut the door, I was the first to speak.

"Ok, what's going on? Why are you acting like this?" I asked in a nice voice.

"You know I've liked her forever, and I can tell in your eyes you like her." he told me harshly.

"So you have dibs on her?" I asked kinda rudely.

"Of course I do! So stay away! She's mine!" he yelled at me and walked back inside.

"She isn't yours!" I yelled at him pushing him against the side of the house. "What if she likes me" I yelled at him.

"She doesn't like you, I can tell by the way she looks at you! She loves me!" he yelled back at me. At those words my heart sank.

I looked at him and walked inside. I went into the bathroom ad locked the door. I slid down the wall and collapsed on the floor with my head in my knees.

I couldn't believe it, I think I really liked this girl, and Louis has 'dibs' on her. What was I thinking anyway? She knew him way longer than me. I should have known she loved him not me. I shouldn't have fallen for her so hard, I was getting my heart tore up into a million pieces.

LOUIS'S POV:

I figured it wasn't too late, to go over to Maggie's and fix things between us. It was only 8 o'clock, she would still be up.

I jumped in the car and headed over to her house. Once I got there I rang the door bell and she came to the opened it right away.

"Louis?" she asked in a confused voice.

"Can I come in?" I asked.

"Ugh...yeah sure" she said opening the door all the way so I could walk in. We walked into her living room.

"I'm sorry" I blurted out, sitting down on her couch.

"Why did you get so upset?" she asked sitting down next to me.

"I just was jealous. You see I've liked you for a long time, and it seems like you were starting to replace me with Niall" I told her looking at the wall in front of me.

"You...you have?" she asked looking at me shocked.

"Yes for a very long time. You are the most beautiful girl. You make me feel so happy when nobody else can. I like you, allot. So I am just going to come right out and say it." I paused.

"Maggie, will you be my girlfriend?"
