Second Kiss (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

*Alexis’s P.O.V.*

I haven’t talked to Niall since he walked out on me, which was a week ago. Every time I try to talk to him he just walks the other way or ignores me completely. He won’t even discuss the subject with our mutual friends. I have no idea what’s up with him! Why does Danny annoy him so much?

I walked into Science class this morning; I had been dreading this class all day. I have Niall in my class…and Danny. And it doesn’t help that they give each other death glares from across the room either!

“Hey babe” Danny said when I sat in the chair next to him. I was actually quite surprised he was even here, he usually skips school. “You’re here today…” I said slowly, trying to not offend him. Danny had a huge temper and anything could trigger it.

Danny looked at me, “what’s that supposed to mean?”

I ignored his question and watched as Niall walked into the class, the bell ringing right when he did. I looked to my side and saw there was an empty chair next to me. Niall walked right towards me, his eyes not meeting mine. For a moment I thought he was going to come sit down next to me, but he quickly walked past me and sat down in a chair two rows behind me. What was I thinking? He had been avoiding me all week, how was today going to be any different?

Danny must have noticed me spacing me out because he cleared his throat and said “I asked you a question” I snapped out of my day dream and looked at Danny, “uh-what?”

“I asked you what your little statement was supposed to mean” Danny said with a straight face.

“Uh-never mind. It’s not important” I told him, I didn’t want him to get upset. “Good girl” Danny smirked and put his arm around my shoulder, bringing my seat closer to him. The teacher started her lesson about different types of diseases, but I wasn’t listening. How could I concentrate on her when my best friend was obviously mad at me?

Danny looked behind me, staring at someone, and then leaned in to kiss my forehead. At that moment, I felt a pair of eyes burning into my neck. I shifted in my seat, slightly uncomfortable. I quickly glanced behind me and made eye contact with a pair of blue eyes. Niall! I smiled slightly at him and waved; Niall just frowned and broke the eye contact. What was his problem!?

After class I left Danny behind and rushed behind Niall so he couldn’t get away. I was going to end this feud once and for all! I grabbed Niall’s wrist and dragged him down the hall, into the nearest Janitor’s closet. Of course Niall fussed about it and tried to get away but I just tightened my hand around his wrist.

Once we were in the closet I let go of his wrist and turned towards him, blocking the door so he couldn’t get away. “Let me out Alexis” Niall demanded, his thick Irish accent echoing in the small closet. “Oh you finally decide to talk to me” I put my hands on my hips. Niall just rolled his eyes.

“What’s your problem Niall? You’ve been ignoring me all week, I don’t understand!” I said slightly frustrated with him. “You know why Alexis” was all he said. I tried to think about what’s happened lately and why Niall walked out on me the other day. My eyes got bigger as I figured it out, “it’s because of…Danny…” I said slightly shocked. Why hadn’t I figured this out earlier?

Niall nodded his head, “you guys have only been going out for a little over a month and he’s already changed you.”

“What? No he hasn’t!” I said, getting angry. “Yes he has! Just look at what you’re wearing Alexis” he said pointing to my outfit. I looked down at my outfit. I was wearing some SUPER short shorts and a little shirt that barely covered anything. “What about it?” I asked, even though I knew what was wrong with it.

“It’s not you Alexis! You’re not this girl who wears that type of stuff! You’re not the girl who became my best friend!” he sighed and ran his hair through his hair, “and I see the way Danny treats you, it’s not nice. Why can’t you figure that out?”

“I know” I whispered. To be honest, Danny was sort of abusive. Not physically but mentally. He had an anger problem and he didn’t care who he took it out on, even if it was his girlfriend. If I had known Danny was like this I would have never agreed to go out with him. And I was pretty sure he was cheating on me with another girl. Unfortunately, I was too scared to break up with him, scared of what he might do.

A tear fell down my cheek and Niall brought his hand to my face and wiped the tear off. “If you know then why are putting up with it?” he asked, he voice soft.

“Nobody else wants to go out with me” I sighed, another tear falling down my face. “What makes you think that?” Niall said his blue eyes filled with confusion.

“Because Niall, I’m almost 17 years old and have never had a boyfriend! So of course I jumped on the opportunity…even though it was stupid of me…” I sighed, rubbing my face where the tears were.

“I don’t know why you think nobody wants to go out with you, you’re beautiful!” Niall smiled and pulled me into a hug. He mumbled something into my hair, “what did you say?” I asked him. He sighed and pulled back, “I said and this boy would love to be your boyfriend”

At that moment, Niall leaned in and put his lips gently on mine. My eyes opened wide in shock.
