"I want to dance with you in the middle of this street."

She laughed at me, "Why on earth would you do that?"

"Because I said I would."  I twirled her around and pulled her back to me as I began to sing softly into her ear, "If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you; Drive highways and byways to be there with you.  Over and over, the only truth: everything comes back to you."

She pulled away from me and looked at me.  "Niall--"

"Siobhan, stop.  Before you say anything, please let me say this first.  I've been wanting to say this to you for I don't even know how long.  And it's something I should've said a long, long time ago."

She let go of me and stepped back.  She looked at me inquisitively before saying, "Okay."

I looked at her, she was finally going to let me say everything I had been longing to say.  Now was my chance, and whatever the outcome, I would force myself to be content with it.  I took a deep breath and began.....

Blair Collins is a spunky 19-year-old who desires to follow her wildest dreams and live life to the fullest, alongside her best friend, Delaney. After deciding to leave her town in Ohio for big-city Chicago, she expects to continue her normal life that consists of partying, influencing and modeling, and one-night stands--that is until she meets hot-shot club owner, Niall Horan. Turns out Ohio wouldn't be the only thing that would be bad for her. ------------ "No!" she shouts. "Just stop. You want to know why I'm so upset? I'm upset because I care about you so fucking much, Niall. I don't want to. Honestly, it would've been easier if you were dead, because then there would be no possible way for me to keep coming back to you. But you aren't, and I don't want you to be. That's why I'm mad. I'm upset and angry because I could've easily lost you, and I'm not ready for that. I don't think I ever will be, and it fucking terrifies me, because I know one day I will. One day you'll be gone forever." Multiple tears stream down her face as her voice cracks. She tries to compose herself by pacing her breaths and remaining silent. Unsure about what to do, I rush up to her and pull her into my chest. "I'm right here. I didn't mean for you to see that. This is exactly what I was scared about," I lowly whisper. "What?" she sniffles as I sigh. "Us caring about each other. I'm dragging you into my treacherous world and I can't. You're too pure, too angelic," I feel myself become overwhelmed by my emotions. "What are you saying," she pulls away from me. "No," she shakes her head as I feel my heart slowly breaking. "Blair, I don't know if I can be in your life anymore." "You don't get to make this decision for me," she hisses at me. "It's my life and I get to do whatever I want." This hurts so fucking bad and I have no idea why. ------ MOST IMPRESSIVE RANKING - #10 IN LITERATURE 6/26/21. THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We both turned to head out towards the streets, lifting our heads towards the sun as its warmth hit us. "Vada?" I asked. She turned to face me, her features the softest they had been all day. "Yes?" she answered, quietly. "Why did we do this? What did we spend all this time building if this is how it's going to end? Why did we climb only to fall so far?" She sighed. Not an angry or over dramatic sigh, like she had done earlier in the day. But, a real, soft, apologetic sigh. "Niall, the only thing I can say is that ultimately we all think we can fly. We all think we're Icarus." "What do you mean?"
