Into an Outsider. (1D Fanfiction)

Niall Horan.

Chapter Five:

Niall's POV

I watched as Becca came fast-walking up to my car. Her dirty blonde, frizzy hair covered her face. In her hands, her red jacket dragged on the floor. I could hear the shuffling coming from her feet. Her red lips were noticable from across the lot. She's original and she's beautiful, I wish she would believe that. I'm so familiar with her every feature. I know her all too well, but something was different about Becca when she got in the car. 

"Why are you happy?" I figured it out. She had a glow to her that I rarely ever see. 

"What? I can't be happy?" Her smile was wide enough to make her dimples appear. 

"You can. I'm just not used to seeing you this way. Tell me what happened missy." 

"Well this really sexy new guy actually noticed me, he's in two of my classes. He picked me out as the prettiest in the whole class AND he asked for my number. Ugh he's so cute! He has this rugged look to him, His names-"

"-Zayn Malik?" I guessed.

"YEAH! How'd you know!" She said surprised.

"Liam, Louis, Harry and I all have a class with him."

"What did they say about him?"

"Well Harry defiantly does not like him."

"Yeah, cause Harry only likes himself." She rolled her eyes.

"Becs, you don't even know Harry, you have no reason to not like him." 

"Harry doesn't even know Zayn, he has no reason to not like him either."

"You're right, I guess it's just how people are." I smiled at her. She was looking out the window.

"Seriously though. None of us can accept one-another, we can hardly even accept ourselves." She sighed.

Becca has always been able to develop profound thoughts and statements. She's the type of person who primarily looks inward, paying close attention to her thoughts. Me being so close to her means she tells me everything going on in that messed up little mind of hers. She's a very complex person, so am I. I can tell her anything, so can she.

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Your dads house today right?" I asked her, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, which means the house is all ours!" 

"YES! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" We both looked at eachother with a cheeky grin.

"PIZZA!" We both shouted. The last few seconds of the drive was a dance party.

We reached her dad's house, but he wasn't there. He's never at the house. He's too busy taking care of 'buisness'. You see, Becca's parents divorced two years back because of this 'buisness' her dad always seems to be attending. It didn't help that her mom is a neurotic mess. Because Becca is the only child, she basically grew up with no family. Untill she met me, she sees me as her brother and I see her as my sister. I really do know her more than I know myself.

"Niall! You order the pizza and I'll get the guitar set up." She said running into her bedroom.

We both sat down on her bed inhaling our meat lovers pizza.

"So Niall, Anyone cute in your new classes?" She said with a mouthful.

"Yeah actually, her name's Amanda, blonde hair beautiful smile." Just thinking about her made me blush. She's this girl in my first period, real cute, but I wanted to change the subject because right now it's all about Becca.  "Are you going to preform your new song for me?" I said grabbing the guitar. 

"Yeah, It's called 'Into an Outsider', Ready?" 

{Video to the right only represents Becca's voice, song lyrics, and guitar skills, not her looks.}

 I have always loved hearing her sing. Listening to the lyrics, I knew the story behind each word. I couldn't look away from her. Her messy blonde hair got in her face, but I could still see the pain in her eyes. When she fnished, she put down the guitar. We both sat in silence. I could tell she was deep in thought. I scooted closer to her.

"Becca...That was incredible." I whispered while wrapping my arm around her. 

"eh thanks, I don't think it was good enough" She rolled her eyes. 

"Becs love, I'm not lying to you. Everything about that was absolutely good enough. I think that song has the potential to become a big hit. You have the potential."

"You're exaggerating-"

"No I'm really not. Don't be so self-destructive. Whatever happened to you wanting to be noticed for what you can do, what you're worth?" I laid my hands on top of hers.

"I don't think I'll ever give myself the satisfaction of being 'good enough'. Plus, people hardly even look at me-"

"-So make them look." I said in a more serious tone. She shook her head and laughed.

"Fine, I'll take your word for it."  She sang again, this time she let me record her. What she didn't know was the fact that I'm going to be posting this up everywhere the second she finishes.

The clock read midnight. I felt myself falling asleep with Becca leaned against me. We were halfway into a movie when Becca's phone went off. The biggest smile appeared on her face when she read the text. I'm guessing whoever texted her was either Zayn, Sara or Eleanor. "Let me guess either Zayn, El or Sara." I said in a raspy voice. "Zayn." She giggled. I paused before stating what has been on my mind all afternoon "Becca, just be careful with him. I know you're really into him and that's fine just don't get ahead of yourself. I don't want to see you get hurt." I am very protective with Becca. She sighed "You won't see me get hurt, Niall. I'll be fine."  We were both startled by a loud noise coming from downstairs. She got up to see who or what made the noise. "It's my dad, he's drunk." she said picking up my things. A signal that I should probably leave. I hugged her tightly before leaving. "Bye Niall, be careful with the cops around." She laid her head on my chest. "Bye Becs, be careful with your dad." We both laughed. We heard her dad slam his bedroom door. Time for my escape. We both rushed out of the house unseen. Becca watched me leave her driveway. 

"Love you Becs!" 

"Love you Nialler!"

I watched as she become nothing more than a black shadow camouflaged with the darkness of night. I was never too fond of these moments, of leaving her.
