We both woke up around the same time the next morning. He had the cutest messy hair. Niall kissed me on the cheek. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"How could I not with you sleeping next to me?" I told him.
"Well, I'm starving. How about breakfast?" I nodded. Niall got up to go to the kitchen.
"I'll be right out, I have to pee." I said. Niall laughed. I guess announcing the state of your bladder wasn't common. On my way out to the kitchen, I picked up my phone and Niall's as well. I noticed he had a message from his mom up on his phone and a notification of ten missed calls. Man, this kid was popular. I handed Niall his phone and he looked a little shocked by the missed calls. "Well, , what's with all the calls?" I asked him.
"I have no clue." He called his voicemail and waited. He listened to three voicemails and sat down. I was eating the bagel he made me. "Well," He started. "The calls were from Harry's ex. I doubt you know her, but her name is Anna. They dated for two months secretly." I looked at Niall. "And, um, she wanted to know about you. Harry told her he likes somebody else. She asked me who, many times."
"Why can't you all be normal people?" I asked him. "Normal people with normal jobs, normal lives. Normal people don't have crazy ex girlfirends they dated secretly or screaming fans." I spat out. Niall took my hand.
"Normal would be nice for being with you, but I wouldn't know you then, Lay. I would be in Ireland right now, at univirsity. There is a reason we are the way we are, and a reason we all met you." I nodded at him. "Laken, this may be hard for you to hear, but I think you should call Daniella. You have seemed more stressed lately." My eyes widened at the very idea of calling Daniella. "If you don't, I will." Niall said. He waited two seconds before taking my phone off the table. "Hm, five texts...All from Harry. Okay..." He started to call Daniella. "Hello, Daniella?" Niall answered. "Here talk to Laken." Niall pressed the phone up to my ear. I turned my head. Daniella began her famous apology. She was sorry. She didn't mean to hurt me. She thought I woul be okay. She can break up with him. She needed him. I have Harry and Niall, and the boys but she has nobody. Daniella could go on for days with her apology she gives everybody until they forgive her.
"I love you, Lake-Water. You are my sister. It has been a living hell without you. Please, say something? Anything." She pleaded.
"Okay." I paused. "I will say something. Ready?" I heard her say yes. " I don't know what to think. You are still my friend, I guess. I'm mad though. You could have told me before Aaron did. Bye." I told her. She started to say wait when I hung up. I turned to Niall. "I'm going to get dressed." He could tell I was mad at him. When Daniella and I fight, we wait until the person that did the wrong thing calls the other. She was going to call me that day or the next. I knew she would call before the charity ball. She needed to think of the right thing to say first, but Niall had made me call her, and I had nothing to say.
I changed back into my clothes and grabbed my purse. I walked out to the kitchen where Niall was sitting. I had called Zayn already to come pick me up, and he was going to be there soon.
"Laken?" Niall asked.
"I can't believe you did that." I told him. "I had no clue what to say and niether did she. She would have called when she knew what to tell me."
"Please, don't be mad at me" Niall begged.
I sighed. "Niall..." I trailed off. I had no clue what to say. "I-I don't know..."
"You don't know what?" He asked. Hurt filled his face.
"I just don't know about...about..." I took a pause, tears filling my eyes. "You." Niall took a minute to take in what I just said.
"That may be true for you, Laken. But I know how I feel about you." Then the tears really fell. He loved me, I knew it without him saying a word. And I, I might have just broke his heart.
