The next day, Ashley’s POV:
I watched from the side-lines as the boys and Faye were interviewed for some major TV company, this was the interview where Faye and Harry were going to announce their relationship, I was proud of them really, I suppose that it showed that they really were serious about each other, they had been getting a lot more serious lately and I wondered if they loved each other, again that was still none of my business but sometimes it’s nice to know.
Faye was gonna get hate though, I knew she would, but I suppose she’ll deal with it she’s had to before being who she is and I admire her for that. Weather as I, would not be so good with constant death threats and insults from people I didn’t even know, or even worse, people I did know.
They were almost at the end of the interview when the interviewer asked the question that they were asked in every single interview- Their relationship statuses. Then it hit me, what was Niall going to say? I guess this was where I would find out what he thought of us as, now and after last night it was kinda obvious that maybe he does like me but we have nothing official there was still this pang of doubt deep down that I was just his ‘fall back girl’ after Chelsea but I didn’t think Niall would do that, would he? People say that every guy at some point in his life has a fall back girl, a girl who he uses and pretends to love while recovering from a previous relationship but I found that hard to believe with Niall he was so cute and innocent it just didn’t seem possible but you can’t judge a book by its cover.
“So Niall what’s your current status?”
He opened his mouth to speak not sure what to say, speak Niall or else people are gonna get suspicious.
“Single”
He said with confidence, then something snapped inside of me and I felt Harry’s eyes watching me from the set as I walked away to find somewhere to just be on my own.
Why was I so upset? He doesn’t have to say we’re together because technically we’re not, we have nothing official we just kiss and hint to each other and stuff, did all that stuff mean nothing? Was all of this for nothing? Then I felt myself filling with regret, regret that I ever let Niall in.
I found an empty room with crème walls and leather sofa; I collapsed onto it curling up in a ball as I choked back tears not caring weather I was supposed to be in here or not. Then I realised how stupid I was being, I was getting myself worked up over one word that Niall said at an interview, an interview. I need to speak to him myself to find out what’s really going on maybe he had his reasons but he could of least just said he was seeing someone or something, give me some re-assurance that what we have actually means something to him because right now I’m doubtful that I’m yet again the fall back girl.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep. A while later I woke up to the sound of voices but I didn’t move or open my eyes.
“You do it Niall”
“Why me?”
“Because it’s Ashley”
“Fine”
I felt strong arms wrap around me and pick me up, I breathed in Niall’s scent but at the same time I wanted to open my eyes show him I was awake and to get his arms off of me until we could sort out what we were but I didn’t have the courage to do that, more though I did have the politeness to not do that in public.
I felt myself being placed in a leather seat which told me we were probably in a limo, I ‘woke up’ next to Niall, I didn’t say a word as I felt his eyes burning a hole in the side of my face I took out my phone and shifted away from him as I scrolled down my twitter scrolling past the hate on Faye and Harry, it was just a time-filler to get past the awkwardness of refusing to talk to Niall.
As soon as we got back I went straight to my room refusing to talk to anyone, even Faye. I curled up underneath my covers as I began reading a book when 10 minutes later a knock came on the door.
“Ashley”
An all too familiar Irish accent said quietly.
“Come in”
I said bluntly with absolutely no emotion. He opened the door and quietly shut it behind him, I put down my book and sat on the end of my bed giving him a stern look which said ‘you can’t sit there’ he sat on some cushions a sad look on his face since he now knew I was upset with him since I had forbid him from sitting next to me. He leaned against the wall staring at the ground then looking up at me.
“So tell me why you’re not talking to me”
He stated with a worried look on his face, he looked so adorable I just wanted to- You’re in a mood with him Ashley shut up.
I didn’t reply and we shared a short silence.
“What are we Niall?”
I asked confidently I stared straight at him and we held stern eye-contact.
“What?”
His eyes widened.
“What are we?”
I repeated, he shifted in his position slightly.
“Do I have to put a label on us?”
He did have a good point.
“Well it’d just be nice to know”
“Is this because of what I said in the interview?”
“Maybe”
I said, he didn’t reply just looked to the ground.
“Well if you can’t give me an answer then-“
I turned on my heel to walk out choking back tears. I was getting way too upset over this, he had promised me nothing, I deserved nothing from him, just an answer that was all I wanted. This was more my fault than his.
“Ashley”
He said grabbing my hand pulling me back into the room.
“What?”
I said slightly annoyed now.
“You can’t just walk away every time I say something you don’t like otherwise we’ll never sort things out”
I sighed waiting for him to continue. He was probably right, this was what I did when things got too much, walked away. It was the easy option out, the option I'd be taking for years and now I was opting out of that so easily just because he told me to? He has something over me, which I can't quite put my finger on.
“Just listen to me”
Sighing but at the same time refusing to let tears fill my eyes I sat back on the bed annoyed slightly but I had to force myself to be this annoyed though his worried face was just too cute.
“Are you upset because I said I was single?”
I bit my lip wondering if a lie was what was needed here, he might not want a relationship.
“Well yeah because I thought we, I don’t know, had something but I guess I was stupid…”
I said trailing off at the end realising that I probably sounded clingy and pathetic right now, ew I hated that.
“It’s not like that”
“What is it like then?”
He thought for a moment not saying anything.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought”
I said coldly and he looked up at me hurt by my words; instant regret filled me but if he was going to give me the cold shoulder why was it so hard for me to give it back?
“I’m sorry if I don’t like to jump into things straight away, I’m sorry that I’m not Zayn”
I looked at him confused, why is he sorry that he’s not Zayn? He couldn’t think that I like Zayn like that, could he? Zayn flirts with me a lot, but he does with everyone and sometimes I flirt back I thought everyone knew we’re just joking; I didn’t come to realise that maybe Niall took it all seriously.
“You think I’m into Zayn?”
I said quieter and less confident this time. He shrugged.
“Maybe”
He muttured looking to the floor and fiddiling with his jacket.
“Well I’m not”
I said walking over to him as his eyes lit up, I sat next to him being a lot more flirtatious than my normal self.
“I’m into you”
I whispered to him as a smile tugged at his lips.
“Well I’m into you too”
He looked into my eyes and pulled me onto his lap twirling a piece of my hair around his finger.
“Good job we got that sorted then”
I said, putting my arms around his neck and resting my head on his shoulder.
He smiled at me then moved a strand of hair from my eyes and tucked it behind one ear.
“So, will you be my girlfriend?”
He asked me.
I swear my heart skipped a beat as he stared at me waiting for my reply, I could feel his heart beating against mine and it was racing, awh he’s nervous.
“Yes”
I said and he smiled and kissed me softly.
“I thought you’d never ask…”
I said as we broke the kiss. He smiled.
“Me too”
He squeezed my hand giving me one final short peck.
“Let’s go and join the others before they come and find us”
I nodded in agreement and we got up and left my room walking down the hallway with his arm wrapped around my waist as we talked quietly both knowing all too well that there was bound to be somebody listening in, then was when I could of done with knowing who the person listening in on us really was.
