A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Encounters with the Past

HARRY'S POV

Even though I just met this girl, I could feel her pain, I wanted to walk over to her and hug her and tell her that it was all going to be okay, but I knew it wasn't. Niall was going on dating that Stacy bitch for almost a month now. She was a huge slut and everyone hated her, well except for Niall. None of us really think that he loves her though, we just think that he started dating her to get over Lennon, I still don't think he has. Sometimes, when I'm up late, I can hear him softly crying in his room. All the lads have heard it too but we don't want to bring it up. I feel quite bad for Niall but sitting here talking to Lennon, I feel worse for her. He didn't even give her an explanation.

Lennon sat across from me in the booth for a few more minutes, crying. Then, her crying slowed down. She wiped away the excess tears, put on her aviators, quietly got up, and walked away.

"Lennon wait!" she didn't turn around. Before she got out of sight I yelled, "Niall is on his way here!" I don't think that she heard me and even if she did she would have probably left anyways. I watched her toss her drink in the bin and walk out the door. I looked down at my drink and took a sip, waiting for Niall to come. I looked over to where Lennon was sitting and noticed that her phone was sitting there. I picked it up, knowing that she would call it eventually. I'm glad, I thought, that this won't be the last time I see Lennon.

NIALL'S POV

I was rushing to get to the Starbucks where Harry was, he was never early and I didn't like to be late. I checked my phone for the time. Already 20 minutes late, he's going to kill me. I looked back up from my phone but not quickly enough. I slammed right into another person. We both fell over.

"Oh my goodness," she said," I'm so sorry." She looked over at my Blackberry which was now sprawled across the ground with the back and the battery two feet away. I didn't really care because I'm always dropping it but she seemed more concerned. "Oh my goodness!" she said again.

Oh my goodness? That immediately made me think of Lennon. I missed her so much. Her long brown hair and her gorgeous blue eyes. I missed her American accent and her love of food. Come to think of it, this girl had an American accent too.

She stood up and brushed herself off while I reached down to get my phone. She was still brushing off her pants when I said, "Are you sure your okay?"

She looked up to me smiling, but before she said anything, her smile faded, replaced with a look of shock. Probably just another fan, I realized remembering I was famous. I always tended to forget, how could I have become famous out of all people?

She quickly said sorry again and started walking away but I grabbed her wrist, I don't know why but it was an impulse. I wasn't thinking. Something inside of of me told me that there was more I needed to know.

LENNON'S POV

"Are you sure you're okay?" he said with his thick Irish accent. I smiled as it reminded me of Niall's. I finished brushing off my pants and looked into the eyes of the stranger, no he wasn't a stranger, it was Niall. I almost got lost in his blue eyes when I snapped myself out of it.

I couldn't form any words, only stood there in shock. Thank goodness I had sunglasses on, I thought. I quickly said sorry, not wanting him to see me start crying. I could feel it in my throat, it got tight from me trying to hold back my tears which were now reforming in my eyes. I never thought that I would see Niall again, but part of me didn't want to. He was so much taller than he was two years ago, so much more muscular, so much cuter, if that was even possible. I started to walk away when I felt him grab my wrist. Oh my goodness! Does he know it's me? I tried pulling away but his grip was strong.

"Please wait!" he said, concern and questioning in his voice. I turned around. I saw his hand rise to my face. What was he doing? He gently put his hand on my sunglasses and slowly pulled them off. No, no, no!! I couldn't hold my tears in any longer and I started crying for what could've possibly been the third time today.

"Lennon?" he said quietly. He took his hand off of my wrist. This was my chance. I didn't even bother trying to grab my sunglasses, they were cheap knock-offs anyway. I turned around and bolted into the sea of people, disappearing into the crowd.
