Decisions (Niall Horan fan-fiction)

Chapter 8

RENEE'S POV

The week had gone by so quickly and I was glad we worked everything out. I had a day off and I decided to sleep in. Well I was sleeping until Matt barged into our room and started jumping on my bed.

"Ren! RENEE! GET UP, NOW! Please?" Matt screamed in my face.

"Matthew Lee Espinosa, get your nasty butt off my bed and let me sleep." I grumbled, as I threw a pillow at him.

"Um, you're rude. And just so you know, I washed my nasty butt in the shower this morning. Thank you very much." He informed me while shaking his back end all around.

"You are disgusting...where's Mia? She shouldn't be up yet, it's too early."

"I hate to tell you this babe, but it's 10:30. Taylor took her shopping and you need to get up so we can celebrate our 1 week anniversary!"
Matt screamed, clearly excited.

I just looked at him and busted out laughing. I couldn't believe he wanted to celebrate 1 week together. "Matt, seriously? It's only a week!" I told him in between laughs. He was just looking at me and I was afraid I had hurt his feelings. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to-"

"No it's okay. I'm glad you don't care because honestly I think 1 week anniversaries are stupid too. I just didn't want you to be upset in case you thought I forgot." He admitted, while walking over and sitting on my bed.

I smiled because he was so incredibly sweet. "You know I can't stay mad at you for anything. You're too cheesy and adorable, but really get out of my room so I can sleep."

"Rennnn," he whined. "You're already awake! Why don't you spend the day with me? Your boyfriend? We can go swimming!"

"I don't want to." I complained, still tired from all the stupid, boring, meetings.

"I'll take you to the lake to swim. I know you miss home and I found a lake about three hours away from here." He looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"Lake? Really? Yes, I'll go! Let me get dressed!" I was about to stand up when I remembered something. "Matt, I can't. My foot. I can't stand on it." I told him as I sat back down, disappointed.

He grabbed me and picked me up bridal style. "Well I guess I'll just have to carry you around all day."

I thought about it for a moment and finally said, "Well in that case, I guess I'll go with you. Thanks Matt." I kissed his cheek before I hobbled off to the bathroom to get changed. I put on a black swimsuit because light colors get ruined in the lake. I then put one of Matt's shirts on and some jean shorts.

"I know I've told you this before, but you look really good in my clothes." He kissed my forehead and I just smiled.

"Thanks, but honestly I look good in everything." I winked and started to move out the door.

"Hey wait up! You can't leave without me." He ran up to me and stood behind me making sure I didn't fall over. I was super excited to spend this day with Matt. I've been homesick so hopefully this trip will help me since the lake was like my second home.

NIALL'S POV

I had been on Twitter and seen the rumors about Ren and Matt dating, but I didn't believe them. There was no way Taylor just let them date. He was way to protective. I decided to go down to the hotel they were staying at and ask Ren if she wanted to go out to lunch. I walked up to the front desk and asked for their room number. Once the lady told me, I thanked her, got into the elevator and made my way up to the 8th floor. Another guy got into the elevator with me and I recognized him as Nash.

"Hey Nash!" I greeted one of Renee's friends.

"Hey Niall! What are you doing here?"

"Simon asked us to spend time with Ren and Mia so I came up here to ask if they wanted to go out to lunch." I didn't want Nash to flip out so I just told him I was here for both the girls, not just Renee.

"Ah man I'm sorry, but they're both gone. Taylor took Mia shopping and Matt took Ren out to the lake." He gave me a sympathetic look.

I could feel the anger bubbling up inside me, but I had to stay cool. Of course I was jealous, but I didn't want to make it obvious.

"But isn't the closest lake like three hours away?" I questioned raising my eyebrows.

Nash just started laughing and I was confused. What was funny? "Man, your accent is great. Three sounds like tree! I love it, but ya that's the lake they went to. Ren loves the lake, she spends tons of time there back in America. We always tell her; 'you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl'." He said.

I just smiled at him and nodded my head. "Anyways, what's up with Ren and Matt?" I wanted to know why nobody cared that they would be alone, three hours away.

"Oh Matt asked her to be his girlfriend a week ago. Taylor apologized to her and told them that he was cool with them dating." I felt my heart break. They've been together for an entire week and I didn't even know it.

"Oh well okay. Thanks I guess I'll just be leaving. Tell them I said hello for me, alright?" I walked out of the elevator and waved.

"Ya sure. See ya later Niall." He said before the elevator doors closed. I rushed out to my car as quickly as I could. My hand was shaking so much that I could barely open my door. Once I finally got inside, I let my tears fall freely. I knew I couldn't date her, but it still hurt that she was with someone else.

The worst part was that those pictures on Twitter were real and Matt made her really happy. That was supposed to be my job.
