One Way Or Another (Sequel to She's Not Afraid)

Chapter 5: MAD!!

I got home that day fuming. Justin had been trying to pull moves on me all day. "Hey," Niall said when I got in. 

"Hey," I said angrilly. 

"Who made you mad?" he asked, almost mocking. Not helping. 

"Justin Bieber, that's who," I said, stomping over to the couch and flopping down. 

"Justin? Seriously? He's here?" Niall said, mind obviously not on the problem. 

"And my love intrest. That JERK is my love intrest!" I nearly screamed. 

"Hey, babe, come on. Calm down. I'm sure its not that bad," Niall said. 

"It is that bad. That little twerp has been climbing all over me all day," I said.

"Well, he's smart. You're beautiful," Niall said. 

"Cut the crap Niall," I said, "And it doesn't iritate you even the slightest bit that a guy who is supposed to be your friend is trying to get in good with your girlfriend?" 

"Well, first of all he's not really my friend," Niall said, "And second I'm used to it." 

"Oh please. I'm sure you don't have some sort of feelings for that stupid Jerk!" I screamed. 

"Okay! Mags, that is totally below the belt!"  Niall said, getting mad now. 

"Oh! Like you not caring at all about the fact this guy who cheated on me before I now have to be in love with!" I screamed. 

"Just act for gosh sake. Because we all know you're good at that!" Niall screamed. His words hit me like a slap in the face. Suddenly I didn't have anywords left to say. Niall seemed to have noticed how hard those words have come. He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "I'm sorry Maggie. I just think it's unfair that you're mad at him and had to take it out on me." 

"I know, I know. And I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just mad," I said. Niall walked up and put his hands on my arms.

"I know. And I love you Maggie," he said, kissing me, "We just have to find a way to not let it get in the way of us." 

"Yeah," I said, "We do. I love you too Niall." 

"Although I do have to say, having Justin on set would be fun," Niall laughed. 

"Yeah. For you. Not me. I mean, he's hitting on me right in front of the director and they don't care," I said. 

"Geeze. That's got to suck," Niall said, being more symothetic now. 

"Yeah. And when I tried to tell the director, he wouldn't listen," I said. 

"Okay, that's unprofessional," Niall said. 

"Totally," I said. Then I smiled, "Um, thanks for sympothising. I'm sorry I took it all out on you." 

"Hey, we all have bad days. I'm sorry I referensed, um, what I refrensed," Niall said. 

"You're right. I did do that," I said. 

"But you don't like it," Niall said, "So I'm sorry." 

"It's fine," I said. I kissed his lips. I hoped we could make it through this. More than ever.
