I sit on the edge of my kama while Niall paces in front of me. "I don't understand, Kate." he starts. "Why are you pagganap so weird around me?" I look up at him helplessly. "It's not like you're weirded out sa pamamagitan ng me being famous, right? So I don't understand what the deal is. It's like everytime I'm around, you go into this shell and don't let anyone in." Niall continues, running his hands through his blonde hair. "I know who you really are, but you don;t ipakita it! You act shy all the time, you act like you've been hurt really badly... if you've been hurt Kate, I want to know! I want to know so I can protect you and make the hurt go away!" I stood up and threw my hands to my side. "Enough!" I sinabi angrily. Niall looks at me in surprise. "Sit down, pretty boy." He cautiously sits on my bed. "I am hurt." I say angrily. "I am very hurt. I have tried to get over it, but everyday has just been so hard since you left. Niall, you didn't even say goodbye to me! How did you expect me to feel everday since then? I felt like I had done something wrong, something to make you hate me, something to make you regret every saying you loved me. Do you remember that Niall? You sinabi you loved me before!" I cried. Niall's eyes soften and he pulled me susunod to him. "I never got to say it back to you." I whispered. "And then you left a few years later... but it still hasn't change for me, Niall. I stil care... I still pag-ibig you. I always have." He hugs me tightly. "I was afraid if I told you I was leaving, things would only be harder." he admitted quietly, playing with a strand of my dark brown hair. "You were wrong." I whispered, barely audible. "Well that doesn't matter now. It's in the past, and I'm here now." Niall says, coming closer to my face. "Please don't." I beg. "I thought you wanted this?" Niall asked, confused. "I do, Niall. I really do. I just don't want our first halik to be at a time like this." Niall stood up and took my hand. "In time, I will make up for all those chances I should have kissed you at. I promise that." I smiled and he wiped away my tears. "It's always been you." Niall says. "Nobody compares to you."
