Sorry for not updating. I had AP exams to study for, but now I took my exams so I'm all set. This one's a really cute one xx
Niall's POV
I watched as Amanda came up to me, crying. I opened my arms as she ran into them, sobbing into my chest. I held her tightly in my arms.
"What's wrong, love?" I asked, rubbing her back soothingly.
"I saw Harry and he said that he wanted to explain what happened last night and I told him that I didn't want to hear it. I told him that my heart couldn't take it right now and I gave him a song that I wrote. I told him that everything that I wanted to say was in the note. Why does it hurt so much, Niall?" she asked through sobs.
"I know it hurts, baby but you have to stay strong. You can't show him weakness because he'll think he won. Don't give him that satisfaction," I cooed into her ear.
"I love you so much, Niall," she murmured onto my chest.
"I love you too, Amanda, more than you'll ever know," I replied, kissing her on her forehead.
She looked up to my eyes and smiled. She bit her lip and eyed my lips before moving her gaze back to my eyes. She leaned in and our lips met. It was a sweet and gentle kiss and I felt like I was on cloud nine. I grinned widely when she pulled away and she bit her lip again.
"What was that?" I asked, breathlessly.
"I thought you wanted it," she whispered, her expression changing.
"Of course, I wanted it. I've been wanting for that to happen for a long time," I replied, kissing her lightly on the nose.
"How come you never said anything?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
"I was always too scared to and then when I was going to do it, you told me that Harry asked you out. I supported it because you were so happy and I always love it when you're happy. Your green eyes sparkle the most when you're happy." I answered.
"I'm sorry I never noticed. If I would've known I probably would've never went out with him in the first place," she said sadly.
"It's alright, babe. I have you now and that's all that counts and I promise I'll treat you better than he ever did," I said, lacing my finger with hers.
The bell rang and I sighed.
"I'll see you later, Nialler. I love you," she said, kissing me.
I kissed her back and kept a firm grip on her waist. She wrapped her arms around my neck and played with the hair at the back of my head. I pulled away after a minute or two and smiled.
"I'll see you later, love," I said, placing a kiss on her forehead, before she walked away.
I smiled as I walked towards my first class of the day. I finally had Amanda. I can kiss her, hug her and tell her how much I love her as much as I want.
"What are you smiling about?" Louis asked.
"Amanda is finally mine," I smiled.
"That's awesome, dude. How did it happen?" he asked.
"Well she told me that she stood up to Harry and that she loves me. I told her I love her too and then she kissed me. She asked me why I never told her that I was in love her. I told her about what happened the day that she told me that Harry asked her out. Then we made out before we left to class," I explained, blushing intently with the memory of the kiss.
He wolf-whistled and said, "I'm happy for you, mate. At least you'll treat her better than Styles did."
"Ugh, don't even mention that dick's name," I said in disgust.
Speaking of that dickhead, he waltzed into the classroom with his head down. His eyes were red and puffy from crying and I couldn't help but feel a tang of guilt. I didn't know that he would cry over it and maybe I was being a little too harsh, but he deserved it. He broke my best friend's heart and in the worst possible way. I decided I should at least talk to him and say sorry for earlier.
"Hey Styles," I said, trying to get his attention.
"What?" he grumbled, clearly not in the mood to talk to anyone.
"I'm sorry," I whispered.
"What?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows
"I said I'm sorry," I said louder, my voice cracking.
"For what?" he asked surprisingly.
"For being such a dick to you earlier. I shouldn't have done it, no matter how pissed off I was at you," I confessed.
"I deserved it. I broke her heart and I regret it so much. I regret making her feel like that because I really do love her, but she told me she doesn't want me back," he admitted.
I was dumbfounded at his statement. This was a softer side to Harry that I never saw. He wasn't all just Mr. Tough Guy. He actually had feelings. The fact that he said he loves her surprised. Never in a million years would I have thought that he loved her. I always thought that he was just using her, like every other girl he's ever been with.
"Wow, well I don't know what to say. You don't know Amanda for as long as I have. When she gets hurt, she will do whatever it takes to get that person out of her life. She's a fragile girl, Harry and when she gets heartbroken, it's really bad. I've always been the one that would be there to pick up the broken pieces and last night was no different. Don't even bother and try and get her back, mate because she means it. She doesn't want you back," I stated coldly.
I don't know what possessed me to speak in that tone. I've never been so ice cold in my life, but I meant every single word I say. I don't want him back in her life. She's mine now and I wasn't going to let her slip away so easily. I might as well save him the trouble of wasting his time trying to get her back. The bell rang and I left the classroom with a smug look on my face. For the first time ever, I had the upper hand on Harry. I was the one winning . I finally had the girl and I knew for sure I would love her more than I've ever loved anyone before. During lunch, I decided to bring Amanda to the theatre.
"Why did you bring me here, Nialler?" she asked, holding onto me.
I gave her a quick peck on the lips and said, "It's a surprise."
I brought out my guitar and sat down on the edge of the stage. She sat down beside me and gave me a lopsided smile. I sighed and started strumming the chords to the song
You got a price tag hanging on the back of your dress,
You got your shoes undone and your hair is a mess,
But no one sees you like I do
You roll the windows down when it's starting to rain, yeah,
Everybody else might think you're insane,
But no one sees you like I do
Cause the little things don't mean much to me
My girl, I'd cross the whole world for someone like you
Oh oh, no matter where I go, oh oh,
My unpredictable girl, you're impossible girl,
You know that it's true, oh oh, no matter what you do
I'd cross the world for someone like you
Someone like you; a girl like you
Someone like you
You love the sing along when you don't know the words,
You lock your keys in your car right next to your purse, yeah,
No one sees you like I do
You only show up right out of the blue,
Then 20 minutes late, 5's early for you, yeah,
No one sees you like I do
Cause the little things don't mean much to me
My girl, I'd cross the whole world for someone like you
Oh oh, no matter where I go, oh oh,
My unpredictable girl, you're impossible girl,
You know that it's true, oh oh, no matter what you do,
I'd cross the world for someone like you
Yeah, you're perfectly imperfect, my love
Oh, I'll be waiting up all night because your little things, all the stupid things,
Oh, the little things, don't mean much to me
My girl, I'd cross the whole world, for someone like you
Oh oh, no matter where I go, oh oh,
My unpredictable girl, I'd cross the whole world for someone like you
Oh oh, no matter where I go, oh oh,
My unpredictable girl, impossible girl,
You know that it's true, oh oh, no matter what you do,
I'd cross the world for someone like you
Someone like you; a girl like you
Someone like you
I'd cross the whole world
A girl like you
Someone like you
I saw that there were tears falling from her eyes and I quickly wiped them away.
"I love you Amanda, more than you'll ever know," I smiled.
"I love you too, Niall," she smiled, wiping tears from her cheeks.
I kissed her with so much passion. I tried to put every single ounce of emotion that I was feeling into the kiss. After a few minutes, we pulled away. We were both gasping for air. I smiled as I noticed her swollen lips. I couldn't help but feel somewhat accomplished at my handiwork. She bit her lip and smiled at me. She rested her head on my chest and I rubbed circles on her back.
"Has anyone ever told you that you are the nicest guy ever?" she asked, her emerald green eyes bearing into my ocean blues.
"No," he smirked.
He placed his finger on my chin and lifted my head up. He gently brushed his lips onto mine and I kissed back, wrapping my arms around his neck and playing with the hair on the back of his neck. He placed his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him, slipping his tongue inside my mouth. Our tongues danced and he pulled me on top of him, my legs straddling him on either side. The kiss got more intense and passionate until the bell rang, signifying the end of lunch. She giggled and bit her lip and we both blushed at each other.
"We better get going," she said sheepishly as she pulled me up.
"I'll see you later, love. I love you," I smiled and pecked her on the lips.
We walked out of the theatre and went to our classrooms. It was times like these that I really hated how separated our school was. Why can't boys and girls have classes to together and why do we have to be in separate parts of the building? I was glad that Amanda and I were going great and it seems like nothing could go wrong.
Amanda's POV
After school, I walked to my locker and opened it. I saw a note and I was curious as to who it was that might have put it there.
Amanda,
Meet me at the park, the one with the playground
- Someone who loves you xx
I looked around to see if anyone was around. I saw that no one that I knew was around and I was confused. Who could it be? As strange as it sounds, I was going to meet this mystery person at the park. I walked out of the school and started walking towards the park. A part of me was telling myself that this is a bad idea but the other part of me was curious and wanted to find out who this person was and what this person wanted. I arrived at the park and sat down at a bench. I looked at the time on my phone and started to get impatient. Was this all just a sick joke?
"Amanda?" I heard a familiar voice say.
Oh god, not him. Please, don't make it be who I think it is.
I saw his familiar emerald green eyes and chocolate brown curls and I felt all the oxygen escape my body.
"What is it you want, Harry?" I asked, my eyes burning holes into his.
"I just want you to get this all off my chest. Give me a few minutes to tell you everything I feel and I promise I'll leave you alone. I just got to get everything I feel off my chest," he spoke, his voice cracking.
"Ok fine," I nodded, an amused grin forming on my lips.
He brought out a note and started to read what was written on it.
I shouldn't love you but I want to I shouldn't love you but I want to And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not It's getting hard to be around you And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not This emptiness is killing me
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here
Oh god, why does he always have to make it harder for me?
"It's fine if you don't want me back. I get it. I'll leave you alone now," he said sternly, sadden in his voice.
He slowly got up and I noticed that there were tears falling from my eyes.
"Harry, wait!" I yelled, pulling him back by my arm.
He turned around and looked at me with confusion on his face.
"Look, I never thought you really loved me," I said, looking down.
"I love you, Amanda and I regret what happened last night. I never meant to hurt you and I deserve losing you. I never deserved you and I finally realized it. You deserve someone who would treat you right. You deserve, Niall," he admitted.
I was shocked to hear those words come out of his mouth. I never expected him to say that Niall deserved me. I guess Harry was really a nice guy and he just happened to make a mistake, one in which he was paying for dearly. I still have feelings for him but it's not like before. I don't love him anymore, but that doesn't mean that I don't feel bad for him. He was really hurting and I guess he realized that I was right. I don't want him back. I'm happy with Niall.
"Harry, I don't know what to say," I said.
"You don't need to say a word. I understand completely," he walked, leaving me alone with my conflicted thoughts.
Just when I thought things couldn't get any more complicated, this had to happen. Why can't my life be simple? At least I don't have to worry about Harry trying to mess things up with Niall. He said he'll leave me alone for now on, which is definitely what I need. I decided to call Danielle and Eleanor. I needed girl time and that's exactly what I was going to get.
