Robots.

Over again

Lucy's POV

I blinked twice and groggily sat up, my mind still trying to wake up like the rest of my body.

A sigh escaped my lips as I looked around the familiar room, I was still in my bedroom.

Blonde hair stuck out from under the blanket and panic soared through my veins, waking me up fully now.

My feet carried me far from the bed as I watched the figure spin around under the sheet.

"N-Niall" I called as I ran through the hallway, trying to locate him but with no such luck.

"Lucy?" A groggy voice called from behind me, I spun on my heels and came face to face with Niall as he rubbed his eyes.

"Were you in my bed?" I asked and he smiled lightly at me before nodding.

"Yeah, after the guy broke in you asked me to. Don't you remember?" He replied, his smile faltering as I shook my head, no.

"Oh" he said, blush rising to his face. His eyes never left my face as I searched around for something to occupy myself with as right now I was dying with embarissment!

"Can we start over? I feel as though we go from bad to good to worse" I blurted and he raised his brow.

"How so?" He asked, running a hand through his messy hair. I sighed and looked at him finally.

"Well I hated you at first, then everything was great and now, it's a disaster again." I explained and watched as a small smile broke out on his flushed face.

"I'd like to re-start all this" he said, his voice soft and understanding. I smiled and nodded.

"Well, i'm Niall" he began, rising his hand up, I happily shook it, smiling widely.

"Lucy" I replied, "Would you like some breakfast Niall?" I said with a small grin.

"I'd love some Lucy" He added with a quick wink.

In silence we both walked into the kitchen.

"It'll have to be cereal" I called and he nodded, sitting down at the table.

I pulled out two bowles from the cuboard and poured Lucky Charms into both.

Without warning a giggle escaped my lips as I looked down at the Lucky Charms box.

"What's so funny?" Niall asked with a raised brow,

"Were having Lucky Charms... And your Irish!" I said, more laughter left my lips as I looked back and forth between the two Irish substances.

"Very good" Niall said, snatching a bowel and adding milk before he grumpily sat at the table, poking his Irish cereal with a spoon.

"Oh Niall," I began with a fake pout. "I'm sorry!" I said, putting on a childish voice, he shook his head and smiled up at me.

"So you should be" he grumbled before taking a mouthfull.

I joined him at the table and just watched as hia jaw tightened with every bite, and how his neck muscles would tence and-

"I can't eat if your checking me out" Niall said, his voice thick woth sarcasm.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes, turning away.

"Please" I grumbled and he chuckled his blue eyes watching as I sloppily poured milk in my bowl and picked at the different charms.

My phone buzzed on the counter and I stood to get it, the screen flashed with Perrie's name and I groaned, answering it after the third ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi Lucy! It's Perrie, can you come back to the house at eleven, only for a quick check up, but it's essential" her always chirpy voice sang through the speaker.

"Yeah, I guess." I grumbled and looked at the clock. It was half ten now! I wouldn't have time to shower..

"Okay! Bye!" And with that she hung up.

"We have to go to the house for a check up" I said and Niall winced slightly.

"What's up?" I asked and he looked up at me, his eyes sunken and sad.

"Usually, at these check ups, the robot doesn't ever go back to the person." He explained and I frowned.

"What?" I gasped.

"I had a friend called Zayn, and we were room mates, and he was the second of us to get to leave, and on his first check up, he had to stay at the house because the girl didn't want him" he explained.

"Wasn't he the one with Perrie?"

A chuckle left his lips.

"She's a robot too" he said, a small smile on his face as he looked at me.

"Oh. I didn't know they made girl ones"

"Yeah, pets too!"

"Why didn't I get a choice?"

"Well the pets have been doing really well but the humans haven't so they needed someone to test on"

He took a deep breath and I closed my eyes, trying to hold all this information.

"You were lied to, at the start of all this, I do have memories from before you. Zayn was one of them" he added and I nodded.

"Why would they pick me?" I had to asked the one thing annoying me most.

"They didn't. I chose you"
