They Don't Know About Us (Niall Horan Fan Fic)

Chapter 4: She's So Gone

this is a really long chapter! but its where all the juicy stuff starts! hope you enjoyed as much as i enjoyed writting it!

Later that night me and Dani are unable to sleep, we lay at the end of the bed with our heads hanging over the edge. “I still can’t believe it.” Dani said, she had a faraway look, I could just see the images flash in her eyes, of the day we had with the boys.

            I smiled knowing exactly what she was meaning “I know, at least your day ended well instead of semi good.” I turned over so that I was lying on my belly chin resting on in my palms.

            She sat up right, eyes wide. “That’s right! You still need to tell me what happened!”

            I looked at her and turned my body so I was sitting on the edge of the bed with my feet hanging over the edge where my head once was. I took a deep breath and told her what happened from the car ride up to when I arrived and the phone call with my mom.

            “I’m sorry,” Dani said, once I was finished, “So what happened after you told the boys about the evil step monster?”

            A laughed at the ‘evil step monster’ comment, making a note in my head Oliver equals Evil Step Monster. “Well I started crying, snot dripping out of my nose crying, yeah gross I know. Than Niall came and well . . . he hugged me.” Her mouth dropped to the floor in shock, I smiled. “Then all of them joined in.”

            “How was it?” she asked digging her nails into the bed covers.

            I laughed again at her urgency, “Like any other hug.”

            “No not that. I mean,” she slapped her hands on my shoulders and shook me. “Liam’s arms around you.”

            “You’re a dork, Dani.” I said getting up. “I’ll be back. I have to pee.”

            “Thanks for the info!” she yelled as I shut the bathroom door behind me.

~*$~

            “So I have an idea,” she looked at me, my laptop open in front of her. “So you win the bet.”

            “Oh and what’s that?” I asked sitting down on the bed folding my legs in the lotus position. Don’t ask me why, it’s just a way that I relax.

            “So you like Niall and I like Liam, right?”

            I rolled my eyes at her. “Right.”

            “So I was thinking that I could get all buddy buddy with Niall, like I’ll be some sort of distraction.”

            I raised my eyes brows, was she serious? But she just brushed it off and continued. “Just listen, you can tell when you like someone; you’re really bad at hiding it.”

            “No I’m not.” I protest.

            “Oh? What about Darren and Will and Zack and . . .”

            “Okay I get it.” I say cutting her off. “I suck at hiding my feelings.”

            She laughed. “Okay so I’m going to try to keep Niall away, so it won’t be obvious who you like.”

            I sat there thinking it through. I seriously doubt that this plan will work but I’m not going to tell her that, so I just agree with her. “Okay, but if Niall falls for you, there’s going to be a beat down.” I say after a few minutes.
