Chapter 8

Oh god. What is that guy? All his clothes are black, black hair and piercings. I put my book down.

” Hello…” I say, still shocked.

He waves to me and just stand next to Alexis. 

” We’re going out, so, have a nice day! ” She says.

” Alexis, can I talk to you in private, 2 seconds? ” I ask her.

She nods and follows me in my room, while Tyler waits in the living room. I close the door after Alexis and look at her right in the eyes.

” What are you doing with that weirdo? ” 

” Tyler’s not a weirdo. I remind you that i’m not with Harry anymore. And, it’s not because we live together that you have the right to decide with who I hang out. You’re not my mom. ” She answers, rudely. 

” I know that you can hang out with who you want to, but I don’t feel that guy… He’s like… weird. I don’t know how to explain it, but, yeah. ” I try to explain her. 

” Well you don’t have to. Because I’ll go out with him anyway. Anything else to say? I don’t wanna make him wait any longer. ” She says, leaving the room. 

I sigh and watch her leaves with Tyler. There’s something with this guy that isn’t good. I think I’ll just call Eleanor, she always knows what to say. 

” Hey babe! How are you? ” She answers.

” Fine, but there’s something with Alexis. She’s… with a new guy. And I don’t think he’s a good guy. ” I tell her.

” Be there in five! ” 

I just laugh and hang up. She’s so kind! I’m really lucky to still have her, after what happen between Niall and I… I hear El knocks on the door, so I walk to let her enter in. But she just stay there.

” Hey Avery! I think that we can go out to talk, you know, like in front of a warm tea?” She says, giving me a hug. 

” Yeah, okay!” 

I take my coat and heels and follow Eleanor to her car. She drives for a while to a little coffee shop. 

” We’re going there because I don’t want people to know where you live, and their tea are really good! ” El says, with her shining smile.

I smile back at her and we enter in, command two teas and sit at a table. 

” How did you found that place? ” I ask her, taking a sip of the tea, who taste really sweet. 

She blush at my question and look down with her cute smile.

” Louis and I come here when we wanna drink a tea, just us two. ” As she says that, her eyes sparkle.

” Ohhh ! That’s so cute! So if you take me here, it means that i’m special? ” 

” Yes, you are. Danielle is my best friend but, you are like my second. ” She answer.

” Same for me. ” I reply, smiling. 

” Yeah, by the way, what happened with her? ” 

” She’s with someone else. But that’s not what bother me, because I want her to be happy and you know, I saw her cry so many times. I hate it so much. But this guy is… weird. Like, I don’t feel him. All he wears is black, he doesn’t have expressions, no smile, nothing! ” I answer. 

” Oh my god. Where did she met him? ” 

” I don’t know. I’ll ask her later, if she comes home tonight. But I can’t do anything, i’m not her mom, she has the right to do what she wants to. But it’s fast, it’s only been a week that Harry and Alexis aren’t together anymore. ” 

She nods and take a sip of her tea, then look back at me.

” They broke up because of the picture, right? ” She asks.

” Yeah. Niall and I too… But like, we don’t really broke up. It’s because we didn’t talk for a while and, we fight, when I saw the picture… ”

” So call him! I know you still love him, and he does too. ”

” I don’t have to call him. If he wants to talk to me, then he needs to do the first steps. ” 

** Niall’s P.O.V 

It’s been now a week that Avery and I didn’t talk. I miss her so much, but I can’t call her. I don’t know if she wants to talk to me again, so I’ll just wait for her here. Harry is heartbroken since he’s no longer with Alexis. He really loves her, but she can’t believe that the picture was arranged. But it was! Avy can’t believe it too, that’s why we’ve fought. That’s why we no longer talk to each other.

The lads and I try to help Harry, but he’s too sad. I am too. So it’s hard for me to find the words to tell him, because i’m in the same situation as him, in a way. But I just stay in my corner, not talking, just thinking. The lads are so concentrate to Harry that they didn’t notice that I’m not as usual. Usually, I laugh all the time, I make jokes and sit with the lads. But I just don’t feel like laughing, smiling, talking or being in group. I just feel like be on my own, or with Avery. She’s the only person I wanna talk to, now. 

I’m in Zayn’s flat, with the lads. They’re all in Zayn’s room, talking to Harry, while i’m alone in the living room, sitting on the couch. I’ve leave the room fifteen minutes ago, but they didn’t notice. I hear steps walks to me, I look up and see Liam. He sits next to me and pats me friendly on the shoulder.

” Hey, how are you going? ” He asks me. 

” I’m fine. ” 

” Yeah, and I love spoons. Seriously Niall, I know you’re not okay. ”

” Why are you here? You’re not suppose to help Harry? ” I ask him, trying to change subject. 

” Louis and Zayn are with him. He’s not the only one who’s heartbroken. You are too. I know she misses you, Niall. ”

” Yeah, but I can’t call her, I don’t know if she miss me too. ” 

” So? You need to talk to her, even if she don’t miss you. ”
