chapter 8: hero

Noelle's POV:
I woke up to the couch empty. I looked over to the clock, it was 10 am. Harry must have left earlier. I looked over at Anna in the bed beside me, She was still asleep. I quietly got up, changed, and walked out the door to explore and visit Harry... again.

Niall's POV:
in recording studio
I was upset with myself, I let the most perfect girl go in the most immature way. I wasn't sure how I could make it up to her but I knew I had to. There was a knock on the studio door, Liam entered. "Hey Mate, Whatcha up to?" I shrugged. "Just experimenting, Wanna hear?" He nodded and sat on the stool across from me. I picked up my guitar and began to play him in the song I had been working on.

I'm no Superman, I can't take your hand
Can't fly you anywhere you wanna go, yeah
I can't read your mind like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you wanna hear, but
I'll be your hero
I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity, I will be unstoppable
I, yeah I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy without heart and soul. But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero

I looked up from my guitar to see Liam smiling and clapping. "Niall, That's really good!" He told me. I smiled and leaned the guitar against the wall. "It's not finished yet, I'm still playing around with it." He nodded "It's about that girl innit?" I sighed and nodded. "Go and get her then mate. Explain to her that you didn't mean it." He said as he stood up. "You think she'd forgive me?" He shrugged. "You never know till you try." He patted my shoulder "Go get her lad." He said before walking out of the studio. I thought for a moment before grabbing my guitar and heading out of the studio to look for Noelle.

Noelle POV:
I had no clue where the boys were staying so wanting to meet Harry wouldn't be easy. If I had asked Anna I'm sure she'd know where they are but she can't know I'm seeing Harry. She'll probably be super jealous because he's one of her favorites and also She'll be upset at me for moving on so quickly. Except I didn't move on. I still do like Niall, but I was so embarrassed. He announced it to the world so everyone saw that and probably think I'm some crazy obsessed fan. I texted Harry twice asking where he was about 10 minutes ago and he still hasn't answered. I was walking down the streets of Los Angeles and as I turned the corner I ran into a taller man with long brown hair wearing dark glasses and a hat. "Oh, I'm so sorry," I said as I looked up at the man who turned out to be Harry. "Noelle?" He took off his glasses and slid them into his pocket. I smiled at him and he smiled back as he picked me up and hugged me. "Noelle!" I laughed as he spun me around. "I've been texting you!" I said to him as he put me back down in front of him. "I wanted to surprise you" He smiled. I looked into his eyes and smiled back. "Well, I'm surprised." He leaned in closing the distance between us. He placed his hand on my cheek as he leaned in and kissed me. fireworks. I have kissed guys before but kissing Harry Styles as a whole new feeling that I've never felt before. We pulled away both smiling. But then out of the corner of my eye, I see the one person I didn't want to see, especially see me kissing Harry. "Niall?" I said as I turned to see the blonde boy staring at me in disappointment. I saw the tears begin to form in his eyes. "Niall wait!" I called after him as he turned to run away. "Niall!" Harry shouted. "I'll text you later." He said before he kissed my forehead and ran after Niall.
Just as when the thought that was the worst part of today, I look down at my phone to see three missed calls from Anna and two texts that say.
"Where are you??" and "Why did I find one of Harry Styles rings on the floor near the couch?"

Harry POV:
"Niall, you need to calm down," Liam told him as Niall paced back and forth angrily. Zayn and Liam were sitting on the couch, Louis stood next to the chair I was sitting in. I had my head in both hands. As much as I loved every moment with Noelle, I felt bad for Niall. I was just upset with how he treated Noelle but then I had such a good time with Noelle that I didn't think how Niall would feel. "I can't believe you, Harry," Niall said to me while he continued to pace. "Niall relax, He didn't do it on purpose," Zayn told him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I repeated said to him. "The one good thing I had. You stole her right from me." He said right before he sat on the floor and started sobbing. Liam stood up from the couch and went over to comfort him. "I- I'm so sorry Niall," I said as I began to tear up. "Harry, don't cry," Louis told me as he put his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Niall, I'm sorry Niall I-" Niall cut me off "Harry It's fine. It's fine." He said quietly. "Niall, Are you okay?" Louis asked him. He stood up and headed to his room.
"Yeah, It'll be okay."
