Chapter Eighteen

Niall's POV

*BEEP BEEP*

I groaned and grabbed my phone. I was currently laying in bed, in the quiet, daydreaming. I unlocked my phone and clicked the message app with a red 1, signaling a message.

From: Unknown

Hello Niall. It was wonderful seeing you again. It's been almost two years! I was wondering if you wanted to meet up and catch up. Miss you!x -Sydney

I rubbed my eyes. Wait, whut? I re-read the message and was confused for a minute before I remembered Sydney. Last night came flooding back. Well what I didn't want to remember came back.

I loved the date with Whitney. It was so special and I absolutely loved it. Until Sydney and Mark showed up. I tried to question Whitney on what was going on.

Who was after them? What happened to Mark and Sydney that made Whitney freak? I knew she felt uneasy being with them. How do Sydney and Whitney know each other? My phone beeped again.

From: Unknown

Niall, lemme know when and where you want to meet. I know you do. I know you have tons of questions you want answered.x -Sydney ;)

Damn. How'd she know? How'd she get my number to begin with. I looked at the time. It was midday and none of the lads had come up to check on me. Weird. I crawled out of bed and went downstairs.

"Hello?" I yelled through the flat. Silence. This is so rare. I open the fridge to see a post it note.

From: Boys

Hey Nialler. Knew you'd go to the fridge before calling one of us. We are with Paul, shopping. Be back soon mate. -Liam

Oh they know me so well. I pulled out some food and my phone beeped again. I groaned and pulled it out.

From: Unknown

I know you're getting these messages. Respond yes or no to hang out. I'm not forcing you.x -Sydney

I mulled over it in my head and curiosity got the best of me.

To: Unknown

Fine. Whatever. Meet me at Rolio's in 20. -Niall

I put the food back in the fridge and ran upstairs to take a shower. Lets see what I can get answered today.

*21 minutes later*

I walked into Rolio's cafe and spotted Sydney in the back. She looked up, saw me and waved.

"You're a minute late." She winks. I suppress a groan. I forgot how punctual she was. I pull out the chair in front of her and pulled off my sunglasses, leaving my snapback on. A waitress comes by and I order a cup o' tea as does Sydney.

"Alright Sydney. I'm here." I fold my hands together and look at her.

"What questions do you have, Jam?" Sydney uses her nickname for me. I cringe at the sound of it.

"I have a lot of questions but I'm not sure I should be asking you." I take my tea from the waitress and thank her.

"Then why are you here?" Sydney counters. Why am I here?

"For the tea. Rolio makes the best tea." I tell her. She nods as she takes a sip.

"I have to agree now, Jam. But come on. We both know that Whitney has a wall up and won't say a word to you. It's invisible but it's there. Don't pull a Bieber and walk into it, thinking its a door that's open." Sydney peers at me. I stifle a laugh. Justin pulled a number that time. Whoo.

"Fine. Why? Wait. How? How do you and Whit know each other?" I ask.

"Oh. You call her Whit now? Is it getting serious?" She jokes but I can never take her joking. It drives me up the wall. Why? Cause once she starts to joke, she never stops. Ever.

"Sydney. Just cut to the chase. Please." I add.

"Well. There's a lot you don't know about Whitney. Like how she tried to take my life from me. Or how she tried to steal Greg from me." Sydney started. Wait. Hold up.

"Take your life from you??" I hold up a hand. Sydney nods.

"She tried to kill me when we were like 14. I got invited to this party and she didn't." Sydney sighed, "She was branded a loser for the rest of school until she moved in like year 11 or something. It's been awhile."

I looked at her. Is she kidding? She kept going.

"But like right before she moved, she had met Greg. I knew from the moment she met him, she liked him. I tried to warn Greg, cause Whitney is the kind of girl who likes to.... whore around. But Greg waved it off and sure enough, Whitney was trying to kiss him. I immediately ended our friendship. She left then." Sydney took a sip of her tea.

I'm sure I was staring at her like she had two heads. One in her ass and one on her shoulders.

"Anyways. Didn't help she had that boyfriend of hers. Brad or something. He broke up with her too." Sydney wiped her mouth.

It was like a light came on in my head. She's talking bullshit. Whitney broke up with Brad or whoever! I remember Whitney telling me that Sydney had stolen what's his face, breaking them up.

Or is that bullshit. Wait. No! Whitney had tried to steal Sydney from Brad. Wait. Niall. That makes no sense. I looked up and Sydney was starting to look like two people. She had a scary look in her eyes, going to her scary smile.

"You feeling okay Niall?" Sydney asked, too sweet sounding. I gripped the table.

"What did you do?" I hissed at Sydney. My eyes were starting to feel droopy and my shoulders felt heavy. Thank God I was sitting or I'd be on the floor.

"Oh Niall. So gullible. You believe everything and anything." Sydney said, taking another drink of her tea.

"Dammit Sydney. WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? What is in this tea?!" I bang the table. Sydney didn't even jump.

"Oh Niall baby. No need to cause a scene. Let's go home, yes?" Sydney stood up. I shook my head. Ugh. My head hurts.

"NO. Get away for me. I am not going with you." I smack her hands away. She sighs.

"Oh boy. You aren't going to make this easy are you?" She whispers into my ear. I back away. Sydney stops a waiter.

"Excuse me. Can you help me get my fiancée to my car? He's had a long day and I can't get him on my own." Sydney asks politely. The man gives her a snide look but nods.

"NO. I don't know her. Get away from me." I fight. The man helps me up. He's quite big. As soon as I stand up, I'm almost like putty. No brain. Eyes, no. Stay awake. C'mon. Don't fall for this.

"Oh baby. Sorry that tea made you so sleepy." Sydney says as she enters the car next to me. I try to speak but I lose all focus and I was out. Dammit Sydney.

A/N:: Alright so this is Ch. 18 and I've cut it short for a few reasons. Happy Thanksgiving guys!xx -Amanda
