The Night Everything Changed (Niall Horan fanfic)

Chapter 2: Girl Almighty

NIALLS POV:

All I wanted to do was get back there and see that girl. After the concert, I ran behind the curtains. "Where is she?" I asked.

"Who?" Louis said. The boys all stared at me.

"She left". A voice said and I froze

"Who left?" Harry said.

"NIALL"...

"A girl. I met a girl" I said

"During the concert?"

"Yes."

"Anyways..." I started to say when I noticed something on a chair. She must have left her wallet... I opened it to see a picture of her. "Scarlet" I said quietly.

"Hey guys, Ill see you later, Im pretty tired.." and with that, I left. I had to find Scarlet.

Scarlets POV:

I had to go. I can't be seen with Niall, or any of them. I would get so many rumors, and I just don't need that in my life right now. But I think he liked me. He seemed nervous, he was cute, his eyes never left mine, I liked him. But he's not mine and never will be so whats the point.

I woke up the next day with several texts:

"Did you see what Niall put on twitter?"

"Did you see Nialls post??"

"Are you the girl he's talking about?"

I went on twitter to read what Niall had said. "Scarlet". Thats all he said. I got butterflies. How could that possibly be me. He didn't even know my name. I sat on my bed staring at the wall for 5 minutes. Me. Does he want me? I like him. I want us to be together. But i don't. But I do. But i can't. But i can. My mind was going crazy. I got a call from an unknown number, but answered.

"Hello?" I said

"Hello" an accent was on the other line.

"Scarlet?" he said. It was Niall. I smiled.

"Hellooo"

"I need to talk to you"

My thoughts went blank.

"Ok"

"In person, Scar"

No one ever calls me Scar... except my grandma...

"Okay" I whispered. I lost my voice a bit.

"20 minutes, Starbucks on 25th st. Its on me" He said and I laughed.

"O-okayyy"

"Besides, I have your wallet anyways."

And with that, I hung up. What do i do? Do i put on more makeup? Go natural? Wear something fancy? Casual? I slid my closet doors open and put on a pair of vodi shorts with a cute tank top and a pair of white converse. I covered up my face a bit and applied a coat of mascara. I decided to walk since it was only a couple blocks away. There he was, Niall Horan, holding 2 coffees, looking down so no one would notice. I ran up to him and gave him a hug out of no where.I squeezed so tight that he made a grunt and I laughed.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"Everything. I lov-" I stopped there. I love you? I can't say that. That would be so awkward. Even though before I knew him, I loved him so much. 

Niall laughed and opened the door or me. He led us to a table in the back and we sat down. I actually had no idea what to say, do, where to put my hair and hands, when to speak...

"So. tell me about you" He broke the silence. He seemed so interested.

"My life isn't that intriguing.." I laughed "Im Scarlet. Im 20. Uh, I have a mom and dad, lots of family actually, and some super awesome friends. People would say I am typically crazy and sometimes random stuff just flies out of my mouth. " He laughed. 

"I love to have fun and try new things every day. When I was 10 I wanted to be some big singer, model, or actress, but that's never happened... I love sushi and pizza. I hate planes, but I really wanna go to some private island where everything is all inclusive. Im from California, but now I am down here, in Florida. I like to swim, bike, and------- never mind I have said enough"

"Never mind what" He asked.

"Nothing, now tell me about you. I mean I probably know a lot, but tell me stuff!"

I felt so comfortable around him. He told me much about him. He's just an amazing guy and I am so lucky right now.

"Ive never had a real girlfriend. I have to pretend Im in love and it really sucks" He said and my eyebrows rose.

"Why? Thats terrible" I said

"You know... I really don't know why." He frowned. I touched his lips and said, "Hey, don't frown. It'll be okay" as I removed my fingers. "Ive only been in one relationship and it didn't go so well. We broke up last night."

"Is that why you ran off?" He asked

"No, well yes, but I did because my grandma passed away yesterday." My eyes were starting to puff up and fill with tears.

Niall touched my cheek and said, "Hey, its gonna be alright. Im here for you. And you're boyfriend? What happened with you guys?"

"He was kissing another girl. He told me he was over me and has already moved onto someone else. He was my first boyfriend. We went through everything together. Im not worth his time and-" Niall stopped me.

"Scar, it doesn't matter anymore. He doesn't deserve you. You deserve much better" He said and smiled.

"You know, you're the only one who has ever called me that. Scar. Besides me grandma."

"Oh. I didn't know, Im sorry. I won't call-"

"No, I like it" I smiled.

It was silent for about 10 seconds until I started talking.

"I hope I find love one day. True love. I can just picture it in my mind. Someone who believes in you. Some one to talk to and trust your whole life. Someone to do many new things with" Then I saw Niall look down.

"Whats wrong?" I asked. He looked up and said, "Nothing" as he smiled.

Nialls POV:

I looked down. I wanted that someone to be me; but it wont. I barely know her. She doesn't see that i love her..but i barely know her. I wish she was mine.

"ITS NIALL HORAN" oh no... i thought. Girls started running and I pulled Scarlet. We ran to the corner of the street and into an alley. I pulled her down the alley until we got to a street with many different shops on it. When we stopped, she started laughing which made me smile.

"We lost them" I said, out of breath.

I took both of her hands and looked into her sparkling eyes. I leaned in but she said something and I stopped.

"Niall I-uh"

"Whats wrong? Im sorry, I shouldn't have." I said.

"No, its just that Ive never kissed anyone"

"Scar, Im sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. I just figured tha-" and she kissed me. Our lips moved in a way that I couldn't even explain. They fit together like they were made for each other. For someone who has never kissed anyone, she nailed it. We separated and stared at each other for about 7 seconds.

"You blinked!" she said and laughed, then walked inside one of the shops, before I could even say anything.
