Nightingale [A Diall Fanfic]

Chapter 18

This chapter is dedicated to SalmaSaid1 for understanding why I suck at updating during the month of July and for not hating me ;) ily

Demi’s POV:

I can’t do the whole long distance relationship thing. It hurts too badly. All I wanted was for Niall to be with me, but seeing that it can’t happen…

I paced in my bedroom with two names on my mind: Niall and Wilmer. I was honestly stuck. So very stuck. I don’t know what to do or what to think.

It’s been almost four months since I’ve seen Niall and I miss him. I placed a pair of Beats on my head and played my favorite playlist. I lay on my bed and tried to concentrate on other things. All this boy drama was stressing me out.

I felt my phone vibrate in my hand. I looked at the caller I.D. It was Wilmer. I pulled the Beats off my head and answered the call. “Hello?” I said into the receiver.

“Hello hot stuff.” Wilmer’s deep voice boomed over the speaker.

I giggled. “Hi.”

“I hope you’re not doing anything tonight. Be prepared not to walk in the morning.”

I chuckled. “I’m sorry Wilmer, but I can’t. I have to work in the morning.”

“Well that’s too bad.”

I said goodbye then hung up the phone. Was that all he was calling about? To tell me that he was going to fuck me? I thought. I brushed it off and went downstairs to eat lunch. I was surprised to see Madison and my mother sitting on my couch. “When did you guys get here?” I asked.

They looked surprised to see me. “We didn’t know you were home!” Madison chuckled.

“We just came to eat your food.” My mother said biting down on a turkey sandwich.

I let a loud laugh escape my mouth. “You guys are hilarious.”

I sat down next to Madison and took a mouthful of her sandwich. “Hey!” she protested, “make yourself your own sandwich!” I let out a small giggle and she narrowed her eyes at me as I chewed the contents in my mouth.

I stared out at the horizon sitting next to Wilmer. We were on a hill watching the sunset hidden from the incredibly annoying paparazzi’s sight. “You know you can trust me.” Wilmer whispered in my ear. I shiver ran down my spine. “I love you Demi.”

“Do you mean it?” I asked him quietly voice.

He took my hand in his. “Of course.” He said the words slithering out of his mouth smoothly. I looked into his warm eyes which in a snap of his fingers could turn dark and cold. There was a war inside of me; in my mind. Part of me knew that this was a bad idea, but the other part was tugging at me to forget Niall and hand myself over to the man sitting beside me.

I took a shaky breath. “I—I love you too.”

A smile played across his face and he kissed my neck. I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I had finally made my decision and I have faith that it is the right one. Wilmer drove me home and dropped me off in front of my house. I thanked him for the amazing night and, with a hop in my step, walked up the familiar steps to my front door. As I collapsed on the couch, I pulled out my phone browsing for my best friend Marissa’s contact.

I found the number and called it. Her familiar voice answered on the other end. “Hi Demi!” she chirped.

I got right down to business. “I have some news!”

“Really? What is it?”

“Me and Wilmer are back together!” I squealed.

Silence. That’s what I heard. “Marissa?”

“I—I’m still here. I was just surprised.”

“You’re not happy for me?” I asked a little hurt.

I could tell she was figuring out how to answer me. I waited until I heard her voice once again. “I’m happy that you’re happy.” She told me.

I sighed. “What is it about Wilmer? Why don’t you like him so much?”

“Once a cheat, always a cheat, Demi.” Marissa told me coolly.

“What?! No! Wilmer has changed! He loves me.”

“Demi, if I were you, I’d get the hell away before he ends up hurting me.”

My blood boiled in my veins. How could she say that?! I know she thinks that’s what’s best for me, but it’s not! Wilmer won’t cheat again. He promised.

“You can’t tell me who to love.” I snapped.

“I can’t, but I think you need to wake up take a step into reality.”

“Whatever.” I spat into the receiver.

“I have to go now Dems. I love you, okay?”

“Love you too.” I said with my teeth clenched. I hung up the phone and threw it across the room. Who gives a damn about what Melissa thinks?! You do, My conscience whispered. I screamed, frustrated. As I laid on my bed and put my headphones in, I began to calm down. My eyelids grew heavy, and before I knew it, I was sound asleep.
