Seeing The Light

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

I got off his lap and went upstairs. I know, maybe I'm being over dramatic, but it hurt. I grabbed my phone and sent Niall a text: "Ni, please come up here. ;("

He responded with: "Is everything okay princess?"

"Just please come here."

A couple of minutes had passed before I heard him coming up the stairs. As soon as he hit the second floor, I heard him running. "What's wrong?" He asked as he opened the door. "I just need to talk to someone...I don't want to act like nothing happened just a second ago..." "What DID happen?" "I told Liam I loved him, but he didn't say it back. He didn't kiss me, hug me tighter, he didn't make a change in emotion at all..." Tears slipped as he walked over. "He doesn't deserve you babe. Shh...everything will be fine." "What if he really doesn't love me? Is he mad at me? Besides, I think he's just going out with me because he feels sorry for me about the whole Jacob thing..." "I don't know babe...he says he loves you....sometimes....I don't think he's mad at you. He shouldn't be. You didn't do anything wrong." I nodded and leaned my head onto his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around me and rubbed my arm. "You know, just for the record, I'd tell you every chance I got." I leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Thanks Ni...I think I'm going to just stay up here for a bit. I need a little time away from him." "Alright babe. Call me if you need anything." "Thanks Nialler." I said hugging him. "No problem." He walked out, leaving me with my thoughts. I laid back and pulled the blanket over me. And of course, as they always do, lyrics popped into my head, but not just any lyrics. No, they were the lyrics to 'I Would':

Lately I found myself thinking

Been dreaming about you a lot

And up in my head I'm you're boyfriend

But that's one thing you've already got

He drives to school every morning

While I walk alone in the rain

He'd kill me without any warning

If he took a look in my brain

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, then I would, I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby, you should know that I would, I would

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, then I would I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby, you should know that I would

Back in my head we were kissin'

I thought things were going alright

With a sign on my back saying 'Kick Me'

Reality ruined my life

It feels like I'm constantly playin'

A game that I'm destined to lose

'Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend

He's got twenty-seven tattoos

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, then I would, I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby, you should know that I would

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, I would, I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby, you should know that I would

Would he please you?

Would he kiss you?

Would he treat you,

Like I would

Would he touch you?

Would he need you?

Would he love you?

Like I would

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, then I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby, you should know that I would

Would he please you?

Would he kiss you?

Would he treat you, like I would??

Would he touch you?

Would he need you?

Would he love you

Like I would?

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, then I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby you should know that I would

I would, I would, I would, Yeah

Niall had said all of these things, and honestly, I'm not sure he's wrong...or right...

*********The Next Day**********

I got myself out of his arms and went downstairs. I made some tea and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV and sat there. It's not like I was actually watching it, I just stared at the screen. Niall soon came downstairs and sat at the end of the couch, my feet in his lap. "So are you okay?" "Yeah...I guess...but I can't help but wonder-never mind." "What? Tell me." "...I can't but wonder what it would be like if we dated..." Niall gave a sad smile and leaned over to kiss me. "Niall...you know...I really would want to go out with you...I really like you, and at times, I think you would treat me better than Liam..." "Who says we can't?" "I can't just break up with him." "Who says you have to?" I smiled mischievously and so did he. "I love you." He leaned over and pulled me onto his lap. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I laughed as he kissed my head. I turned around and hugged him. "We just have to make sure nobody finds out." Niall nodded and squeezed me again. We heard Liam come down the steps, and quickly hopped off his lap. "What do you two wanna do today?" "We should go to the beach before it's too late." "That's fine with me. Mitch?" "That's fine babe." He smiled and went back upstairs to change. "I'll be back in a minute Nialler. I have to go change." "Alright babe." I ran upstairs, and into our room. Liam was just about to take his boxers off when I walked in. "Hey Li, I won't look. Go ahead and change. I just need to grab my bikini." "Alright." He smiled, and I turned around to get my bikini out. I shielded my eyes as I walked into the bathroom to change. I changed quickly and walked back out, my eyes still shut. "Liam, you done babe?" "Yeah, you can open your eyes." I opened them, and walked towards him. He smirked and pulled me into his arms. "You look amazing babe." "Thanks Li." He kissed me sweetly. "I love you." "I love you too. Now let's go downstairs." He nodded and I took off running. I ran down the stairs and straight into Niall. "Sorry Nialler!" I said laughing. "It's fine babe." I smiled and went into the kitchen. "Liam?! Where's my medicine?" "I've already packed it babe!" "Oh okay! Thanks!"

"C'mon Niall! C'mon Li!!" I ran off and as I was about to sit down, I was picked up and ran to the ocean. I looked down at their trunks and saw that they definitely weren't Liam's. "Niall! Put me down babe!" "Not yet!!" I looked back to see Liam laughing like crazy at us. Niall threw me into the cool ocean water. "Niall!" "What?" He asked innocently. "C'mere!" He smiled as he swam over. "Is he looking Mitchie?" "Ummm nope. Why?" He didn't answer, but instead kissed me. I rolled my eyes laughing. "Let's go talk to Liam!!" I yelled, running back to our spot. Once we got there, I found Liam looking very confused. "What'd you do Li?" "Babe, which one do I use?" He held up some sun screen and some tanning lotion. "Well, do you want to go in the water, or tan?" "I wanna go in the water." "Okay." I pointed to the sunscreen. "That one." "Thanks babe." "You're welcome." "Are you going in the water?" "No, I just want to tan." "You sure?" "Yeah I'm sure. Go have fun." "Alright...tell us if you need anything." "Will do Liam!" He walked over to me and kissed me. As he ran off towards the water, Niall looked at me and raised an eyebrow. I shrugged, causing him to smile. He walked over, kissed me quickly and ran off. I feel really bad doing this but, I need to know.
