Love, Friends, and Change

Part 20

"Get it Nelia," Eva whispered. Nelia looked up for a second and ignored the comment. 

When David left Nelia turned to the girls staring at her. 

"What is you guys' problem?" She let out looking back at the parade going by. 

"He's cute," Perrie said smiling at her. 

"He is," Nelia said and didn't make eye contact. 

"I don't believe Zayn introduced us, I'm Perrie." she let out with a smile. 

"I'm Nelia," She let out. 

She knew that she shouldn't take her anger with Zayn out on Perrie. 

It wasn't Perrie's fault, she didn't know. 

Perrie smiled, "You're very pretty," She said.

"Thanks," Nelia let out smiling a little back as the parade ended. 

"Are you guys going back to the guys' house?" She asked. 

"We are," Amelia said. 

"I can't," Nelia said pulling out her keys. 

"Why not?" Alessandra asked. 

"My dad came to spend Christmas with me," She let out. 

"Oh I see, well come by later then," Perrie said smiling. 

Nelia nodded, "Maybe." She let out as she waved and Eva followed her.

The girls went back to the house with the guys. 

"Harry," Alessandra said passing him something. 

"What is it?" He asked. 

"You can't open it until tomorrow," She said smiling. 

He kissed her forehead. 

Jessie smiled at Louis who squeezed her hand as they walked back. 

Amelia pushed them a little playfully. 

"Lovebirds, pick up the pace," She let out laughing. 

Jessie rolled her eyes and smiled, "go around us." She said. 

When they got to the guys' house, they all sat at the table and ate and talked about how the 5 months they were away from each other was like. 

THE NEXT MORNING... 

"Wake up sleepy heads," Nelia shouted to the girls who had gotten in around 2. 

Jessie opened her eyes and stared at her. 

"There is something wrong with you," She let out. 

"It's two in the afternoon and time to open gifts!" Nelia shouted. 

Eva jumped on Alessandra and Amelia. 

They went out and the tree was loaded underneath. 

"FIRST PRESENT IS FROM CURLY Q TO ALESSANDRA," Nic let out passing her it. 

She opened it and it was a bracelet fro Tiffany's.

"it's beautiful," Claire said. 

"I know," Eva said looking at it smiling. 

"She's blessed," Claire laughed to Eva as they both nodded.

She was almost in tears.

"You okay there?" Jessie asked.

Alessandra nodded and they moved onto the next person.

"NEXT NELIA FROM HER DAD," Claire shouted.

Nelia grabbed it and opened it.

It was a necklace and it held a ring.

"It's beautiful," nelia said.

"It was your mother's wedding ring when we married. I thought it would mean something to you so I didn't pawn it," he let out smiling at her. 

"I love it," She said motioning for him to put it on her. 

"Eva from Mr. Niall Horan," Amelia said throwing presents at people, "Jessie from Louis, Nelia from Zayn...." She froze and looked up at Nelia. 

Nelia grabbed it and put it beside her. 

"Not going to open it?" my dad let out. 

"Not yet," Nelia said knowing she was never going to open it. 

"Anyways, next Claire from Nelia, Amelia from Liam," Eva said passing presents. 

When it was over they sat there and gathered everything. 

"We're going to head over and see the guys," Amelia let out. 

"I'll bring you," Nelia said as they all got ready and headed over. 

Nelia brought the present in her purse. 

When they walked through the door, Nelia walked over to Zayns room and scratched off the name tag and left it there. 

She walked back and sat on the couch. 

"Did you all enjoy your presents?" harry asked. 

"They were gorgeous," Eva said showing off her Alex and Ani bracelets.

All the girls were going on and on about their gifts and Nelia sat there quietly. 

"What did you get Nelia?" Louis asked smiling. 

"My dad gave me a necklace with my mom's wedding ring on it," She smiled. 

"Let me see," perrie let out looking. "oh, It's gorgeous..." She let out. 

NELIA'S POV...

I see why he chose her over me, she's perfect. 

Perfect hair, beautiful, and so sweet. 

I looked at her as she smiled at me and was going on and on about the bracelet Zayn bought her. 

I looked at Eva who was sitting there talking to Harry and Alessandra. 

I could tell she was pretending that the Niall not being here didn't bother her.

I know it did, just like Zayn having a girlfriend was bothering me. 

My dad was right I liked him but you know what? I was going to get over it. 

My phone rang and I looked down.

"Hello?" I let out. 

"Hey it's me David," The man said. 

"Oh hey," i let out with a little smile and excused myself.

We talked for about 20 minutes and he finally built up the courage to ask me to dinner the next night. 

After we hung up I walked in and sat next to Eva, "Who was it?" She asked.

"David," i said. 

"That cute kid from last night?" She asked as I nodded.

"What did he want?" Amelia asked. 

"Dinner tomorrow night.." i let out. 

"Oh my god, you said yes?" perrie asked. 

I smiled and nodded. I looked at Zayn who was sitting there looking pouty. 

I was going to get him back badly.
