Our Love (1D Fanfic)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

"What do you think?" Josh asked me, moments after the long climb up. We were on the highest floor of the building. The roof.

But it wasn't just any roof.

Like he said earlier, it would be worth it.

It had an amazing view of the stars, the different stores and places. It made everything seem so beautiful.

It was worth stepping on his shoulder, walking miles, and hearing a sad story.

It was worth being with him.

I didn't say anything cause the view was absolutely breathtaking. "Surprise." He shouted. I let out a laugh. "Shut up, before the entire neighborhood here's us." "Didn't I say, this place was like deserted? And besides, if there are people in here, let them hear us!" He howled.

That was the worst imitation of a wolf.

"Alright, alright. Be fierce then." I replied, sitting down on the ground. He sat beside me. "How'd you find this place?" I asked. He smiled. "This is... the music centre." "No joke?" I asked, not believing him. "I said I'll point it to you didn't I?" "Yeah, you didn't say to bring me here."

"Touché." He smirked. We were both quiet. It was nice here. The breeze, the view, and Josh's company. I could stay here for the rest of my life, and I won't mind.

After awhile, I decided to stop the silence and said, "Thanks for bringing me here, Josh. I love it." "No problem, if you want this could be our secret hideout where we could vent our feelings or something."

Suddenly, an old memory flashed on my mind.

Niall's rooftop.

"What... kind of feelings?" I asked, anxiously. "Any. It could be about something or someone. Good or bad." He explained.

I remembered Niall and I. Our laughs, jokes, past secrets.

"We can start now, what do you say?" He looked at me. Woah. For a moment there, it was as if, he was Niall.

"Uh, you start." "Nope, sidekick's first." "Superhero's duty," I fought back. "Rock, paper, scissors?" He and I played.

He won, I lost which meant I had to be the first "vent-sharer-". Woopie.

"Well, there's not much for me to share..." "It could be about anything! Like, what have you been thinking about lately or something?" Was he always like this? A psychic?

"I've been thinking about... Niall." Josh looked away for awhile. "Really. What about him?" "Nothing, it's just... we had a place that had a view as amazing as this. His rooftop. He and I would share jokes, secrets and vent our feelings."

"So, it was like a mini music centre?" "Yeah, you could say that... Anyways, it's just... I miss him." I blurted. I can't believe I just said that. Out loud. "Sorry, I shouldn't have-" "Shh, it's okay... Relax, you can tell me. I won't say a thing." He patted my back.

"I miss him. The guy who used listen to me, and fool around. The guy who always made my time for me. The guy who said he loved me. But... I rejected him. Now... He's changed. And, I wish I could just turn back time and fix that last one, but I can't!" I said, with tears rolling down on my cheeks.

I was crying.

Crying over Niall.

I've never cried over someone so much.

"Shh, Charlotte..." Josh hugged me. "He was the only person who I could talk to, my only best friend, the only person... Who understood me." I bit my lip.

This was the first time I had talked about my feelings for Niall. Not those feelings. But, the ones I've been keeping to everyone, and myself. The ones I've held since we were over.

"I miss him so much, Josh. It hurts so bad. I need... my old best friend back." "You've got me." He said. "What?" "I can be your new best friend. I won't hurt you. I'll be as supportive as he was. And, I won't stop loving you." "Huh?" I was confused.

"Charlotte," he broke away from the hug and held my hands. "I want you to know, I'm here for you. Yes, I may act like some immature 20 year old, but I've got a serious side too."

"I don't know, Josh. I can't risk what happened with Niall." "Charlotte, I won't leave you. You're my sidekick. And remember what I said about superheroes and sidekicks?"

"They can't live with each other?" I sniffed. "Plus, who else are you gonna ask money and food from?" He joked.

"Haha! You jerk." I laughed.

""Anyway, it's your turn." I changed the topic. I hated moments like this. It would end up being more crappy.

"What?"

"Share!"

"Oh, I don't know..." He shook his head. "Unfair. Come on! Please!" I begged. "Fine."

"There's this girl. She's really special to me. I hate seeing her sad, cry and most especially, I hate seeing her hurt."

"Do I know her?"

"Yup, a lot. She and you could be best friends too."

"Anyways, have I met her? Is she pretty? Wait, of course she is!" I was squealing like a child who got her father to share a bedtime story.

"Stop. Who is the sharer? Me right?" "Fudge you."

"Anyway, she's different from all the girls I like. She's smart, kind and not to mention, absolutely beautiful." He blushed.

"Aww, you're blushing. Haha! I wish I could take a picture of you right now." I was about to grab my phone when he said, "Shut up, and listen." "Fine."

"Anyways, I've always wanted to ask her out. Make a move. But, it seems she's not over this guy yet." "You pussy."

"Dumb-butt. I'm not done yet." He teased back. "I really wanna ask her out, but I'm scared she might... bail on me or something,"

"No she won't. Not unless, you start moving your butt and ask her out!" "How? She'll say no. I know her." "Well, try! It won't work out unless you try!"

"Fine, then." He said.

I stood up and said, "I dare you to call her and ask her out."

"What? Now?"

"No, when you're 69 years old. Of course, right now!" I sarcastically replied. Was he always like this?

"Call her. Now,"

"But-"

"Josh."

"Come-"

"No, buts or no-s. Just yes."

"I hate you."

"I'm glad you feel like that for me." I used his line.

"Turn." I did.

I peeked. He got his phone and dialed the number. "I'm so excited! Hihi." I jumped.

"No peeking!"

"Fine. GAH!"

Suddenly, my phone rang. How odd.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Charlotte, will you go out with me?" Josh's voice.

Crap.

Congrats, Charlotte. You'd make an amazing adviser.
