My Secret Heart

Chapter 24

Two days went by, and the doctors finally released Niall from the hospital. He was pretty well in shape now, besides healing scrapes and small bruises.

We headed to my house just to talk and hangout now that he was finally out of the hospital.

"Umm Maggie... I need to tell you something" Niall said after a little while of relaxing in my living room.

I froze for a minute. He sounded hesitate, like he was hiding something."Yes?" I asked worriedly.

"I ...um...am leaving tomorrow morning for a week on a studio trip" he said fumbling with his fingers.

"You're what?!" I yelled at him sitting up looking at him in disgust. "How could you not tell me this?! You just got out of the hospital and you are leaving!!?"

"Look I know that..." I cut him off.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked a bit calmer.

He sighed. "Because, because I knew you would be stressed and mad at me for leaving you."

"I would never..." I decided I would reword that, "Look I am going to have to deal with you guys going on these little trips. I understand" I told him. I was still kind of mad that he didn't tell me before the night he was leaving, but I knew he was just protecting me.

"I am going to miss you" he said taking my hand and kissing it.

"I will miss you too. Are all the boys going?" I asked.

"No just me and Liam. They go the end of this month." he told me.

Before Niall left in the morning he came over to my house and told me goodbye and promised I would always be on his mind, every part of the day. I was going to miss him so much, my heart already felt empty, and he just left fifteen minutes ago.

The rest of today, I had no idea what I was going to do. I guess I could call up Louis and we could just chill here and do nothing. I dialed him and he told me he would be over in less than thirty minutes.

I tidied up some of the dishes in the kitchen, until the doorbell rang.

I answered the door and was instantly pounced on by a cheeky boy.

"Maggie!!" he shouted in my ear. I fell the ground as he put all his weigh on me.

"Louis. The tackle was unnecessary, a simple hello would have due." I laughed a bit, as I tried to push him off of me.

"Sorry, I just am glad we get time to hang out!" he said as he helped me off of the floor.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked as I fixed my hair.

"How about we sit and talk, and watch some films?" he suggested.

"Sounds like a plan, I will be right back" as I went into my room and changed into some comfy basketball shorts and a 'New York City' sweatshirt. Louis had bought it for me when I was sick in bed for three days.

I threw my hair into a messy bun, grabbed a pair of socks and walked back into the living room.

"That's what you were doing." he said eyeing me.

"I wanted to change into something comfy, sense we are just going to hang here." I said smiling at him.

"Well you can wear that until tonight." He told me as he patted the spot next to him.

"Tonight? What is tonight?" I asked as I put on my socks.

"I am taking you out for dinner." He said smiling at me, his eyes glistening.

"Louis, you don't have to do that, we can just eat a sandwich here."

"No, I want to." he said putting his hand on my knee. "By the way, love the sweatshirt" he said with a wink. I punched him playfully and we started talking. It had been hours and we were still just sitting on the couch talking.

It was 4:30 and Louis told me to go get changed into something nice, we would be heading out in thirty minutes.

I reapplied my makeup and took down my hair from the mess it was in, and straightened it. I put on a simple Navy blue and white dress and slid my cold feet into matching heels.

"Louis, I am ready" I said as I walked out of my room replying to a few texts from Niall. I looked up and Louis was dressed in a tux, his hair nicely arranged, like always. He looked very charming.

"H..how did you change?" I asked.

"Don't worry about it, let's go so we aren't late for reservations." He said as he took my arm and we walked to his car.

When we got to the lovely restraint I was in awe of how beautiful it was, it must have cost a fortune.

"Louis, this is so lovely, but I can't accept this, you can't spend this much on me." I said trying to convince him.

"Sure I can, you are my best friend. Let's enjoy the night we have together" he said as he led me to our table.

Our food came not too shortly after we had ordered. I took a bit and I was in love with the fancy Pork chop dinner, Louis ordered for me.

"Mmm. Louis this is so good! I have never eaten at a better restraint then this. Thank you" I said taking a huge spoonful of corn and shoving it down my throat.

"Well we will defiantly have to come back here then." He said talking with his mouth full.

After the lovely meal we got in the car and headed back to my house.

"Thank you Lou." I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
