You stood in your driveway and cried as you watched his car pull away. The rain hissed passed you ears and splattered onto the concreat beneath your bare feet. You were shivering as the drops ran down your neck, your arms, your legs. It was over. You couldn't believe it was over. You dropped to your knees, you head in your hands, your tears mixing with the rain.


You woke up the susunod morning with a major headache and the reminder that Niall was gone. Your eyes welled with tears but you forced them down. You cried yesterday for hours, and if were to leave you like that, than he wasn't worth anymore. "Cleo!" Your mom yelled up to you. "Niall is here to see you."
Niall Horan was your best friend and had been since you were toddlers. "Okay!" You yelled back down to her. Heavy foot steps on the stares prepaired you for when Niall opened your door. "Cleo? You look awful."
"Gee thanks, Pal." You grimaced.
"Sorry." He sat on your bed. "Your mom told be about you and Devon. I'm really sorry."
"Me too." You sighed. You were on the verge of tears, and he knew it too, so he pulled you into his chest and held you as you cried all over again.

Three months later.

You laughed and Niall ran with you on his back backstage at a concert. You were racing Louis and Elenor to Zayn who yelled out "TIE!"
You climbed off his back still giddy from the excitetment. and went over to talk to Liam while Niall and Louis got their ear peices.
"He's crazy about you, ya know." He said, buttoning his shirt.
"What?" You shrugged off your dyaket and slung it into a close sa pamamagitan ng chair.
"He's in pag-ibig with you."
You laugh. "No. He doesn't feel that way about me."
"But you do?" Zayn walks up behind you.
"I don't know."
"You're lying." He says, fixing his sando cuffs. "But Liam's not. Naill really does pag-ibig you."
You shake your head and look over at him. He's looking at you so intently it almost hurts. He catches your eye so he smiles and waves. You do the same before turning back to Laim and Zayn, and Harry who has recently jumped in the group. "Seriously," Harry says "If you don't say something to him, I will, infront of all New York."
Your eyes go wide. "No. No I will say something."
"Well you better do it quick." Zayn says. "We go on in two." He and the other two walk over to Louis and Naill.
'You can do this.' You say to yourself. 'He likes you. The boys sinabi he loves you. Don't be a coward.' "Don't be a coward." You say outloud.

"Niall!" He looks over. "Can I talk to you?" He tells the boys he will be quick before jogging over to you. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just." You stop and he looks back over to the boys. 'Don't be a coward.'
"Cleo, I'm kind of in a hu-" You cut him off sa pamamagitan ng grabbing his cheeks and halik him softly, quickly. When you pull back his eyes are wide and he's stunned.
You step back and smile. "Go get um, babe."
He walks backwards a few steps before turing around just intime to go on stage, where you watch himm run and jump into a huddle with the boys. Louis turns around and winks. They knew. They all knew. Sneaky little things.
