I Will Fix You

13 Going on 30

Niall's P.O.V

"I have to go, so I'll see you later," Rose said over skype. I nodded and said a quick goodbye before she ended the call. I let out a soft sigh as I closed my laptop shut. I fell back onto my bed. I really missed Rose.

"Why don't you tell her how you feel?" Liam asked as he walked into the room we were currently sharing. I looked up at him confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's obvious that you have feelings for her," he stated. "Just tell her how you feel," he continued.

"It's not that easy, you know." I got up from my place on my bed and grabbed my jacket and sunglasses.

"Where are you going?" he questioned. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm just going for a walk. I need time to think about things," I replied as I slid my shoes on. I slipped on my jacket as I made my way out the door. I took the elevator down to the lobby and saw that the front entrance wasn't packed with fans, so I went that way.

I walked for minutes, maybe hours just thinking about what Liam said. Maybe I should tell her, but what if she says no? What if she doesn't feel the same way? What if she's afraid of what will happen because of what happened in the past?

All of these what if's flooded my mind. I stopped where I was and looked around. I realized that I walked to the airport without realizing it. I took that as a sign for what I should do, so I sent Liam a quick text before I walked inside.

Rose's P.O.V

I was currently sitting on the couch in my pajamas watching Netflix with Alyssa. We watched some of our favorite shows and movies as we ate pizza and popcorn. We were watching 13 Going on 30 at the moment. "I love you Matt. You're my best friend," I quoted Jenna as I reached out to Alyssa.

"...Jenna, I've always loved you," Alyssa said quoting Matt. She reached out and held my hands. We looked at each other with a smile, then started laughing. Moments later, there was a knock on the door. We both shared confused looks.

I paused the movie and got up. I took cautious steps towards the door. I glanced through the peephole and was surprised by who I saw. "Niall? What are you doing here? You should be in San Francisco right now."

"I came here as fast as I could because I needed to see you," he explained.

"You just saw me a few hours ago over skype," I said confused by his statement.

"I know, but that's not what I meant. I have something to say and I think this should be said face to face," he rushed out. I took a step aside and let him in. He waved at Alyssa and she waved back.

"Um... Could you give us a minute?" I asked her. She nodded and headed down the hall, I assume to her room. I looked back at Niall, "So, what did you have to say?" He cleared his throat.

"Well, I tried to tell you this before, but then I got cut off and didn't have the chance to go back to what I was saying and I mentioned this to you before but you were in a coma and you don't remember me saying this." He spoke too quickly for me to hear everything he said, but I did pick up some words.

"Slow down. What are you talking about?"

He took a deep breath, "Rose, I love you. I have loved you for a while now, and everytime I get the chance to say it, I either chicken out or something comes up. I fell for you the minute we became friends and it took me some time to realize it, but that's how I feel. I love you and I just needed to tell you that."

I stood there shocked. I never thought this would happen. Of course I had feelings for him, but I pushed them away. He doesn't deserve to be with someone like me. Someone with so much pain and baggage that will always be with me.

"Say something. Please," he begged.

"You don't want me. I've been through a lot of crappy stuff in my life and you shouldn't be dragged into it," I tried to argue. He shook his head.

"I don't care about your past, Rose. Everyone has a past. I'm focused on the future and I hope my future involves you being more than just my friend. We can fight through anything that comes our way, together," he continued.

He was about to say something else when I cut him off, "I love you too." He brushed a strand of hair out of my face and cupped my cheek. He leaned in a placed a soft kiss to my lips. He rested his forehead against mine.

"Awe! You two are like Jenna and Matt," we heard Alyssa say in the background. We both gave her a stern look. "Oh right. Sorry," she whispered as she went back to where she was.

"Now, where were we?"

(A/N)

I did it! This is the last real chapter of the story. I can't believe I finally finished it. I have been working on this since March of 2013. Wow! Don't worry though there will be an epiloque coming soon, I promise.

On a sadder note, I said I was going to write a sequal, but after some thought, I have decided not to for reasons. It's mostly because I don't have any ideas for one and if I did write one it wouldn't be as good as I would hope.

But let's not end on a sad note. I'm so happy with the way this turned out. I can't thank you guys enough for reading, likeing, and/or favoriting this and all your comments asking for more updates. I'm a little sad that this is over, but now I have more time to work on my other story and I have an idea for a new one as well.
