Deciding My Direction (on hold to edit)

Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop

"That was brilliant." I grinned at Niall, him jumping off the stage and coming towards me. He had a little bit of sweat on his forhead and a giant smile on his face.

"Right? Love it. So you enjoyed the show?" He questioned, stopping right in front of me and licking his lips.

"Yes. A lot, actually. It was wonderful." I smiled, a little blush riding to my cheeks.

"Shall we go? I'm going to change and then we can head out."

"Deal. I'll be here?"

"No, no no. Come with me." Ni said, lacing my fingers with his and tugging me forward. I rubbed my thumb against the back of his hot hand, knowing it was the one he held the microphone in because it was sweaty. I didn't even care.

"You sure?" I asked, giving him an unsure glance.

"Yeah. The lads don't mind. They love you."

"Angel!" Lou yelled as soon as he saw me, his smile taking up his whole face. I think i was the only one who noticed the worry filling his eyes as soon as I walked in, the panic.

"Hi Lou." I smiled, waving at everyong.

"One second." NIaller told me, running a hand lightly over my hair and jumping off towards a door to the side. I rubbed the bottom of my nose, gripping my sleeves. Everyone else was wondering off, excpet Lou.

"Are you going to tell him?" He whispered, eyes darting to my arms and stomach.

"About what?" I whispered, keeping my head down.

"Any of it."

"No. he doesnt need to worry and neither do you. Its not - Im not- it isnt. Not important. None of it." I stuttered, shutting my eyes tightly.

"But what if you are, uh, pr-"

"Don't say it." I interrupted, biting the inside of my lip.

"You have to think about these things..."

"Lou. Not right now. If I am I have no choice but to keep it, right?" I snapped, a shaky breath escaping my lips.

"But your dad-"

"Dads not the problem this time."

"But-"

"But nothing. Ke- He'd leave and I'd be alone with it. If. Thats the only option. I know him. He just did this because he CAN."

"What are you talking about? That Kesslan guy bothering you again?" Ni said, walking into the room. Lou saw my fists clench and my teeth slam together.

"Nah. Nothing important. Ready to leave?" I lied smoothly, smiling at him. I heard Lou huff lightly beside me, getting up and walking out the room silently.

"Yeah! I'm sure we can find something fun to do out there." Niall winked, nodding his head towards the door. I got up, following him quickly, only about half a foot between us.

"There is bound to be something. It's a big city." I suggested, cuddling into my jacket and walking out the door, the cold smacking us in the face. "Fuck it's cold."

"I really like it when you cuss. It's.. I dunno. Hot." I blushed like crazy, attempting to stutter out a thank you. "No really. If a girl can cuss, eat, and has no issues with my schedule then thats the type of girl for me."

"I'm sure you'll find her one day."

"Maybe I already have." Niall said barely above a whisper. I knew that he'd find a proper girl and leave me, but god, that still hurt. It hurt a lot more than I ever thought it ever would.
