The Intern

Chapter 17

(Niall)

That's when I felt lost. I had lost everything that meant so much to me. I only had my internship but everything else had lost faith in me.

Lauren, shoot, we're done. It was a mistake from the beginning but I somehow fell in love with her. If anyone found out then we would get in trouble and I would go to prison for having sex with a minor. She makes me feel like I'm not a player anymore and that there's a bright light in me. She thinks the worse of me probably now, or probably has for awhile. Maybe the only reason why she stuck around was to have sex with me.

And with that thought I got furious. Maybe she did use me or maybe she didn't. Yet, I never showed emotion in our "relationship". We both are too stubborn to come to realize things.

I didn't even realize my phone had shattered when I picked it up. My iPhone 5S was completely destroyed just because of my anger.

I've been keeping a secret for too long and it's been eating me out alive.

Back in Ireland I have a girlfriend.

I haven't seen her in 2 years though. It's like a online relationship. Just like those teenage girls who all they do is go on social media and find tumblr boys and shit.

I've cheated on her too many times but I'm a man and I have needs plus I don't love her anymore. She's deeply in love with me but there's no spark. That's another reason why I left Ireland. To get away from her. You're probably wondering why I didn't break it off with her a long time ago? She has cancer and I couldn't just break up with her. That would kill her. I talk to her everyday and that makes feel like less of a bad guy. I care about her and I think I always will. That's why I was crying on the phone. The chemo has decided to not work and it breaks my heart.

She's 21 years old and she shouldn't be going through this. I will visit her soon. She can't die on me yet. I might not love her but we've known each other since birth.

If I can't save her then I can save another soul. I can save Lauren from any trouble in her life. I know I won't fall out of love with her. She's never made me feel this way before about anyone. I spend hours thinking of her.

(Lauren)

"Nice swing, Lauren!" Kimmy says

"Thank you!"

I've been playing tennis every afternoon for the pass few days. I haven't felt this energetic in so long and it feels wonderful. I haven't lost any of my skills either!

"Good work today, Riley." Coach tells me

"Thanks!" I grab my tennis bag

I walk to my car and put my bag in. When I turn on the radio "Blank Space" which makes me so basic.

"Cause you know I love the players, and you love the-"

The music stops on the radio and I get a call through my blue tooth. I never expected this person to call me.

Niall.

I contemplate on if I should answer of not. We aren't talking so this is probably important, right?

"H-Hello?" I speak

"Hey," he speaks softly

"What's going on?"

"Can we meet somewhere? Please." he voice cracks

"Sure? Uh, where?"

"How about that cafe on springs street?"

"See you then."
