Swapped ➳ Niall Horan

Chapter Seventy

Niall Horan

"Just stop shifting in the bed and call her already, I believe she's awake till now just like you are." Pattie groaned, it's 2AM and I can't sleep, I can't shut my eyes, I don't think I'll be able to do that unless I hear Julia's voice.

If only she calls one more time.

But tell you what, screw it, I will call her and check up on her, god already gave me a sign that she wants me, and even if it wasn't a sign, even if she doesn't like me, I like her, and I need to hear her voice.

I rolled out of the bed and made my way to the window of the room, I believe Pattie needs some sleep, and I remember how Julia pulled me out here and told me how she used to dream about us in the same place behind the window's glasses.

I opened the window and climbed just like that time and sat staring at the moon, remembering that day when I almost told Julia that I like her and she told me how I shouldn't blutter things that I would regret later.

I picked the phone up not thinking of it twice, and dial Julia's number, I really hope she's awake, I need to listen to her voice, or I need to know she's around since I'd be listening to my own voice.

"Niall?" She said, my voice wasn't that pleased, "Niall are you still awake till now, I thought you had exams tomorrow, you need some rest."

"Just tell me that you don't want to talk to me, don't make excuses." I rather snapped but softly, "And no, the last exam is the day after tomorrow, tomorrow is a break." I said, she stayed silent, "I don't know if you're mad or you're not but your voice doesn't seem so well, and if you are mad I can't really tell why."

"It's not that I'm mad it's just," She said, "I know you are mad, Niall, I know the pictures today probably pissed you off, but you didn't pick up the goddammit phone to let me explain, you just got mad and tweeted a subtweet to Harry even though in the pictures it's me kissing him on the cheeks and he didn't even do anything, on add, you even invited Pattie and hugged her in front of my house and also asked her to stay over," She completed, her voice shaky, but before I could reply she completes, "I would never get pissed about how you and Pattie get closer to each other, but not in a circumstance like this Niall, I mean, yes, you have the whole right to get pissed about me and Harry, but inviting Pattie over doesn't solve it Niall, you can't do this."

"Harry seemed a little bit more pleasured about the kiss than you can imagine." I said, I can feel her sighing in frustration, "And I invited Pattie over because she's the only person I can talk to like that, after you, Julia, and the boys of course, but I couldn't talk to you, neither could I reach the boys, so I talked to her because I know that she'd find a way to defend you and give me a hope on you." I shrugged, "She actually did that, but it wasn't enough for me, I had to listen to it from you, I need to hear you telling me that everything is okay, that it was all just a friendly kiss and nothing serious, that I have a chance with you, Julia, I need you to tell me that you didn't give up on me that soon."

"I never gave up on you, Niall." She frowned, "Did you think that after I finally got to meet you and interact with you, after 3 years of my life stalking you and dreaming about you, I would simply let go of you?" She questioned, "Then you must be wrong, Horan."

"Say it, Julia Brooke." I said, she stayed silent for a moment, "I'm on the top of your roof right now and it's 2AM, I will count till 5, if you don't say it, I'll start singing whatever comes across my mind." I said, she didn't respond again, "One, two, three, four, four and half, four and three quarters.."

"I like you , Niall, just I really like you really but, please don't sing, please." She giggled, I chuckled, "But you already know that I like you, what was your point."
