Shattered Reflections (One Direction FanFiction) COMPLETED

10- The Lonely Walk

April 16, 2012

Olivia POV 

As I ran down, I spotted the cutest thing. All 6 boys playing with Beth. She was laughing until her face turned completely red, and then took a few big breaths. The boys seemed to be enjoying this as well,

Liam was trying to change a Barbie Dolls' clothes,

Harry was petting a cat stuffed animal,

Zayn was styling the big head of Dora. I think he gave her a Mohawk.

Niall was trying to play a mini guitar, and I caught him breaking a string. Making me laugh. And, finally,

Louis was playing with the mini-kitchen; I think he had carrots in a frying pan.

Wow, they're special.

They almost hadn't noticed me there, until I plopped down on the couch, asking,

"Where’d Blake go?”

"He said he went to his coach’s house." Liam said, almost ripping the poor dolls' clothes.

"Okay, well... I have to go drop Beth at Granny's house. She's a couple blocks over, so I'll be right back." I say grabbing Beth, as she said bye to everyone. Each boy gave her a hug, and then me. As I put Beth into her stroller, Zayn says,

"Wait... You're walking? No! Take one of us with you!" he says.

"No, I'll be perfectly fine. Its right-" I was cut off by Niall saying,

"I'll come!”

Before I could say anything, I was walking on the sidewalk, beside Niall who was pushing Beth. She was asleep, like always. It was pretty silent for the first two minutes until Niall started 'getting to know me'.

"How old are you, Olivia?" he asked me.

"I am seventeen, you?" I ask back.

"Eighteen," he responds.

"So, did you always want to be a writer?" The blonde asks as we walk.

"Actually, no. I wanted to be a professional soccer, or lacrosse player. But I had to pay for Beth, Blake and I." I answer.

"...but its fun right?" he asks me.

"Honestly, it is pretty damn boring. I once had to write a Daily Life thing on Justin Bieber, and I fell asleep." I say, laughing about the things that had happened. But Niall was like freaking out that I had met Justin Bieber.

"Oh my Gosh! Was he nice? Did he sing for you? You met him?!?!" I was so caught up in laughing at this kid; I hadn't realized we stopped walking.

"NIALL! Keep walking you idiot!" I say, still laughing.

As things cooled down, Niall continued to question me.

Niall POV: 

She is so astounding. But why would she ever want to do something that made her sleep? Maybe, instead of making her suffer by working the world’s worst job, I can ask the boys and see if we can get her to work for us or something.

But as I was asking her questions, I thought of an amazing one. Asking her about her boyfriend. I won't say Blake, incase he isn't... that would be awkward. So I go on with the plan...

"So, Olivia. How's your Boyfriend?" I ask. She immediately looked down, and her hands. Fidgeting. She looked up, at me, well, more in at eyes. Her green eyes were teared, and glossy. She looked back in and sniffled.

"I didn’t mean to make you cry! I'm so sorry Liv!" I say, putting my arm around her shoulder and pulling her close. She just folded her arms, and quietly sniffled.

The only thing she had said in the 15 minutes of walking was, "turn here" "right here," "that door". I had kept my arm around her shoulder, and walked up to the door.

She rings the doorbell, and I put my arm down. Causing her to look up at me, sad. Her Grandmother had opened the door, and Olivia had just pushed the stroller in the house, and said,

"Blake will pick her up around 8." without saying anything, she had turned around and left. I stayed back, and kissed Beth on the forehead, goodbye.

"Have a good day, ma'am" I say before running to Olivia and catching up to her.

I slip my arm to the side of her waist, and pull her close. Again, she folded her arms, but this time, she cried. Like full out cried.

"Hey, hey... What’s wrong sweetheart?" I ask. She doesn’t say anything so I stop, and turn to face her. I use my two fingers to tilt her cheek up, and she pouts, and looks at me with teary eyes. She blinked, and I wipe away a tear with my thumb.

"Now, will you please tell me what’s wrong? Did I do something?" I ask, before she looked back up, shaking her head a couple times.

Olivia POV: 

When Niall had asked about boyfriends, my mind suddenly went to Zach. As we walked back home, I had started full-out crying.

"Hey, hey.... what's wrong sweetheart?" the blonde asked me. I wanted to tell someone, someone other than Blake. But I might have a crush on Niall, and I can't let him see I’m weak. Even if I am.

I hadn't realized it, but Niall walked me back home. Without saying a word, we got home. As we opened the door, we were pushed down by the boys.

"We missed you!" I heard everyone scream. But I just got up, and walked up to my bedroom, shutting the door.

(A/N)
