Black And White : A Niall Horan Fanfiction

42.

I left that evening around 7:30 before any of Tyler's friends had arrived. I didn't want to risk getting caught up in his stupid party. I told him I was going out but I don't think he heard me.

Carol and my dad had only taken Carol's car on their weekend away which meant I could take my dad's black nissan navara to Niall's. I had my driving licence just no car of my own. I was also registered to drive my dad's car so I wasn't actually breaking any law. My dad had told me to always check with him before I drove his car but I didn't want to disturb his and Carol's romantic couple weekend trip so I just grabbed the keys from the porch and took it.

The satnav took me straight to Niall's house. I parked up outside and climbed out the truck, shutting the door loudly behind me. I had taken a small backpack of essentials with me: make up wipes, phone and phone charger, toothbrush, mascara and hair brush.

I walked up the drive, past Niall's car and knocked on the door. He didn't answer so I opened the door myself. The house was bright and warm, but not hot, and it was wonderfully decorated.

My eyes hovered over a door. It was cracked open a small bit and there was light coming from inside the room on the other side of the door. I slipped my shoes off, put my backpack down and walked over to the door. When I pushed it open my eyes went wide and my jaw dropped.

Sat on the grey sofa was Niall. There was a woman kissing him sat next to him. Her lips on his. His lips on hers. The woman's dark ginger hair was hanging loosely down past her shoulders. It was dead straight and shone in the light.

I felt my heart shatter in my chest, leaving a space of emptiness where it once was. I didn't cry. I simply stared at him, waiting for him to notice that i was stood in the doorway.

Niall broke his lips off the woman's as soon as he saw me. I watched as his eyes turned sad and he stared at me. I continued to stare at him, completely speach less at what I'd walked in on.

I wanted to move but I couldn't. I wanted to run out Niall's house and jump in my dad's car and drive all the way to Australia, far away from Niall and that red haired bitch. But my feet were glued to the floor.

"Lily, I promise I can't explain," Niall said while walking over to me.

"Well, obviously that's a lie then. Because I think you and I both know now that you don't keep promises," I snapped at him. My tears had started now and I knew they weren't going to stop for a long time.

"Lily please. Just let me tell you what happened."

The hurt in his voice was clear and I knew he could start crying any second. I didn't look at him though, I looked at her. She was sat on the sofa with her hands in her lap keeping her head down. I wanted to march over to her and punch and scratch and kick and smack her until she was nothing but a ball of weakness on the floor.

"Look at me baby, please," Niall begged. But my eyes stayed glaring at the woman.

Until I felt Niall's hand stroke mine and suddenly my feet could move. I smacked his hand away and walked quickly back to the front door. I snatched up my back pack and shoes from the floor. I didn't bother putting my shoes on because it would take to long and I needed to get out of Niall's house. More and more tears fell from my eyes, making me hot and my cheeks soaking.

I yanked the front door open and walked quickly down the long drive. I heard Niall's footsteps running to catch me up behind me so I walked a little faster. As I approached the end of the drive Niall's hand grabbed my arm and forced me to stop walking. I spun around and looked at him through a blur of tears.

"Get off me," I said angrily. He let go of my arm reluctantly but made sure he was close enough so if I tried to walk away again he could stop me. I wiped my eyes so I could see him more clearly.

"Let me explain. I'm begging you, let me explain." His voice cracked and a couple of tears rolled down his cheeks.

"What is there to explain Niall?"

He didn't speak, he just let his tears fall from his beautiful eyes.

I sighed, "Thats what I thought."

I turned around and carried on walking towards the big black nissan. Niall tried to grab my arm again but I smacked his hand away fast.

"Lily, don't drive away. Please you know I love you."

I ignored him and turned the keys to start the engine. I pushed down on the accelerator and didn't look back as I drove away.
