An Angel Named Niall

Chapter 14

JULIETS POV

As soon as Niall left, I broke down crying. I punched the wall so hard that it got a crack. I looked at my fist and it was red and I felt my pulse there. I wiped my tears and told myself it was for the best.

In the back of my mind I wanted to tell Niall everything. I wanted to let it out. I wanted that safe and loved feeling I felt when he was around. But I just couldn’t do that to him. It’d be too much for someone like him.

            “Honey?” grandma peeked in through the door. “Are you okay?”

            “Yes grandma. I just have this horrible headache.” I began picking up the torn paper from Max. I was surprised my grandma didn’t mention it. She had a worried look on her face but she wasn’t going to get much out of me.

            “Well if you need me,” she paused. “For anything, I’ll be in my room.” I quickly nodded and the door shut. I took in a breath. I was gonna hurt my grandma as well. I’m nothing more than a low life.

I’m useless.

*next morning*

I was surprised grandma didn’t wake me up for “school.” I’m sure she didn’t because of how I’ve been feeling.

I wasn’t nauseous anymore but my period was way passed its date.  

I decided to go to the store and buy a pregnancy test.

I grabbed the cheapest one I could’ve found. The lady at the front was sure looking at me weird because of what I was buying. I rolled my eyes and didn’t even get the change from her.

As I walked home, Amy called me out.

            “Hey Juliet, got any goods on you?”

            “You told Max that I’m pregnant, didn’t you?!”

            “So you are?” she said as she popped her eyes out at me.

            “No, I’m not. I just-”

            “So it’s Max’s huh? I didn’t know you guys were already on that level.” I stopped walking and told her. “Leave me alone.” And I left her standing there. I was irritated with all this. It was her fault, and Josh’s, that Max thinks I’m pregnant.

I got home and to the bathroom I went. I forced and forced myself to pee. I turned on the showers to trick my grandma into thinking I was showering.

20 minutes later and it read: PREGNANT.

I stood, holding the test in my hand.

Pregnant.

I was pregnant.

I couldn’t believe this.

What was I going to do?

A knock on the door took me out of my thoughts. My heart began pounding. “Juliet, are you almost done in there?”

“In a minute!” I yelled back to my grandma.

I couldn’t believe this. I began thinking about Niall. I had no idea why. Maybe because what if he were to find out. He’d think I’m a slut or something. He would never talk to me again.

Then I remembered that’s what is best to happen.

I threw it and left it as it is. No one was going to find out. The test couldn’t be real anyways. It was cheap. And usually cheap stuff never works.

Later at night, I turned off all the lights and put on my small lamp that gave my room a soft dim.

I went on youtube and looked up one direction music. I had just listened to One Thing and What Makes You Beautiful. I had wondered what their other music was like.

One video seemed to grab my attention. A lyric video to a song called Moments.

As I listened to the song, tears began filling my eyes. Nialls part really hit me. All of a sudden, I wanted to see Niall. I wanted to have Niall right by me.

I picked up my phone and I was ready to text him.

I put it down. I couldn’t do it. Niall needed to be out of my life.

I listened to the song for the rest of the night.
