Niall Horan Fanfic Chapter 23: Where Have Du Been
I woke up early the Weiter morning. My sleeping schedule was all out of whack since the tour ended. I was used to early mornings so I went into the küche and made breakfast. My parents were at work so I didn’t have to deal with them all day. My phone rang. It was Niall.
“Hey babe.” He said.
“Hey there.” I answered.
“What are Du up to?” he asked me.
“Nothing really, just making breakfast.” I said.
“Can I come over?” he said.
“Yeah, no one’s home.” I said.
“Cool I’ll be there soon.” He said.
We hung up and I kept cooking waiting for Niall. I heard the door open and figured it was him. He had a spare key to my house. I felt arms wickeln, wickeln sie around my waist and turned the see to beautiful blue eyes staring at me.
“Is the Essen done?” he asked.
“Almost.” I sagte laughing.
“What time is the abendessen tonight?” he said.
“Uh, we need to be there Von four.” I said.
“Who eats at four?” he said.
“They do, it’s like some weird family tradition. I never questioned it.” I said.
“What’s the dress code?” he said.
“Nothing fancy, like jeans and a polo?” I said.
“Cool, and should I be on my best behavior?” he asked with a grin.
“YES! That means no hand holding, kissing, hugging, flirting, oder touching.” I said.
“So I should pretend I don’t like you?” he sagte with a goofy pout.
“No, but Ally’s parents aren’t into that stuff. Ally wasn’t allowed to datum until she was like 17, she never had a boyfriend. She didn’t make it that long.” I sagte trailing off at the end.
“Fine, I won’t do anything stupid.” He said.
“Good.” I sagte Küssen him on the cheek.
We sat down and ate. Niall and I never really talked when we ate; our mouths were always too full. He loved to watch me eat. I don’t know why, but he sagte that he liked the fact I wasn’t afraid to pig out in front of him.
When we finished eating we went for a run around the block. We were listening to our iPod’s so again we weren’t talking. That’s what I loved about Niall and I’s relationship. We didn’t have to be talking to each other all the time. We could just hang out and do normal stuff, without silence making it awkward.
When we got back from our jog I ran up and took a dusche while Niall went back to his hotel to pick up his clothes for tonight. He was going to drive me since my parents didn’t care enough to come. Von the time I was out he was already back.
“Well talk about an Stunde long shower.” He joked pulling me into his lap.
“You know I contemplate life while I’m in the shower.” I sagte laughing.
“You smell nice.” He sagte sniffing my hair.
“Stop sniffing me Du crazy.” I sagte giggling.
Niall started to tickle me so we ended up in a laughing fest on the floor. Then he practiced braiding my hair, only to tie it in a knot. We finally decided to watch a movie. He picked Finding Nemo. Von the end of the movie he was sobbing into my shoulder.
“Niall, it’s a fish.” I said.
“I know, but his dad loved him so much.” He sagte wiping his cheeks.
“Go get dressed.” I sagte smiling.
Niall ran into the bathroom, and I went into my bedroom. I was wearing my black skinny jeans, with a flowy rosa top, with my studded black flip flops. I was just wearing my hair straight, and since Niall was hogging the bathroom; I wasn’t going to put on any make-up.
Niall was wearing a light rosa polo shirt, and some khaki pants with red sneakers. The boy had a good fashion sense.
We were finally ready to go, so we hopped in the car and drove to Ally’s house. When we pulled up and I saw the house, my breath caught in my throat. I couldn’t do this. I wasn’t ready.
“Hazel, you’ll be fine. If it gets too much we can leave. Her parents will understand.” Niall sagte grabbing my hand.
“It’ll never get better Niall. I’ll never be able to come here again. Last time I was here Ally and I were playing Just Dance 3 and messing around after we got back from the mall. She was alive.” I sagte my eyes brimming with tears.
“Come here.” He sagte pulling my head onto his chest.
I didn’t cry, I took a few deep breaths and composed myself. Niall squeezed my hand and we walked up to the house. Niall rang the doorbell. Ally’s mom came and answered. I collapsed into her arms. The tears were flowing now. She was crying too. Ally’s dad came over and ushered us inside. We sat down at the tabelle for dinner. Niall sat Weiter to me and held my hand under the table. I could not be happier that he came.
The atmosphere was really tense.
“We need to talk to Du Hazel.” Ally’s dad finally said.
“About what?” I asked.
“Him.” He sagte motioning toward Niall.
“What about him?” I sagte getting angry.
“Ally was very upset about how Du blow her off for Niall.” He said.
“What are Du talking about? I never blew Ally off for Niall.” I said.
“You moved out of the country to tour with him.” He said.
“That was for my career. Not for Niall. Did Du forget that I dance? Ally was never mad about that. She was happy for me. She was happy that I was happy.” I said.
“Yes, but when Du started seeing him, she was always a Sekunde matter.” Ally’s mom chimed in.
“She was never a Sekunde matter! She was my best friend! Practically my sister! I never ditched her for Niall. I would never ditch her for Niall. I needed to make time for both of them. Ally understood that.” I shouted.
“Calm down, you’re only talking out of regret.” Ally’s dad said.
“REGRET!?” I practically screamed.
“Maybe if Du were around more, Du and Ally would have been together that day, and she would still be here.” He said.
“Are Du seriously blaming her death on me!?” I sagte tears welling up in my eyes.
“Not blaming, just reasoning.” Her dad said.
“I…I can’t believe Du would say that. Nothing I could have done would make Ally still be here. It was her time to go, and she’s gone.” I said.
“Hazel, honey calm down. Why are Du being so defensive?” Ally’s mom asked.
“Being defensive!? Are Du serious? Du are blaming Ally’s death my having a boyfriend and a career.” I said.
“Hazel-“ Ally’s mom said.
“Save it. I’m out of here.” I sagte cutting her off.
Niall grabbed my hand and I rushed him out of the house. The Sekunde we got outside my legs caved in and I crashed to the ground. Niall scooped me up and carried me to the car. We started driving and all I could do was cry. How could they blame me for Ally’s death?
“Niall I’m so sorry.” I said.
“What? Why? Du didn’t do anything.” He sagte grabbing my hand.
“They just…I can’t…I don’t even know what just happened.” I said.
“If they want to blame her death on me, that’s fine. If it helps them cope thinking that if I was never around it wouldn’t have happened then they can.” He sagte tracing small circles on the hand with his thumb.
“That was terrible.” I said.
“You’re okay.” He said.
“I was, but I’m not so sure anymore.” I said.
My phone rang.
