i love us

chapter 8

Dear journal    

Me and niall have been dating for a couple of weeks now and we still haven’t told anyone. I think it would be better to wait until Christmas break and then tell Emma once she gets to know niall a little better. Recently niall has been acting a little strange. Always checking his phone and he seems to be keeping his distance from me at school recently. This all started last week when me and niall were at my locker before 6th period. This tall blond girl came up to niall and asked if she could talk to him “privately”. I told him it was fine and then headed off to my class.  After school niall was acting all weird and nervous he told me he couldn’t drive me home that he had an “ sports physical”. I thought niall was just having an off day but he is still acting weird. We only hang out after school now and emma now takes me to and from school because he always seems to have to go somewhere. I finally figured out it must have been something that girl said to him . I tried looking for her at school a couple of times but the weird thing is I don’t even think she goes to our school. Any way Emma is almost here and I have to finish getting ready for school . I’m going to keep trying to figure out who that girl is (I hope that doesn’t sound to stalker)

I quickly hid my journal so that lily wouldn’t be able to find it . I finished doing my hair then waited down stairs for Emma to get here.

“ are you sure you don’t mind driving me” I asked Emma when we got to school

“ are you kidding me of course I don’t , at least now you’re not stuck riding with niall” she said smiling

“ uh yeah” I said awkwardly “ well thank you”

“ hey niall” I said walking up to him

“ uh hey” he said

“ do you want to meet me at my house after school” I asked

“ um …. Actually I can’t” he  replied “ first day of foot ball (soccer) practice”

“ is that every day after school or just Thursdays” I asked

“ every day from 3-5” he readjusted the bag that was hung over his shoulder

“ so that means you will be busy every day after school” I assumed

“ uh yeah pretty much”  he looked down at his phone again

“ wow what’s new you’re too busy to hang out with me “ I snapped

“ hey don’t be like that you know it’s not you it’s just that I’m super busy”  he murmured

“ no niall I don’t know”  I said whirling around and walking off to meet up with Emma

When I got in Emma’s car I was still pretty mad at niall and I guess Emma could tell

“ what’s wrong” she asked pulling out of the schools parking lot

“ just a long day” I replied

“ want to come In “ I asked unbuckling my seat belt

“ yeah sure” she said turning the car off

When we got inside the house I heard lily reading out loud

“ wow you finally learned how to read” I said walking into the kitchen

“ yeah I did you journal  inspired me “ she retorted

I froze and slowly turned my head to look at.  her sure enough she was holding my journal .

“ mmh lets see “ lily  said tapping her index finger on her glossy lips “ ooh this looks good !Me and niall have been dating for a couple of weeks now and we still haven’t told anyone. I think it would be better to wait until Christmas break and then tell Emma once she gets to know niall a little better.”

I heard Emma gasp and I quickly turned around . 

“ Emma I-i-” I stuttered not knowing what to say

“ save it” she said turning and walking to the garage door .

I followed her out “ Emma wait” I yelled after her

“  you have been lying to my this whole time , I have been driving you to school and doing something nice for you and you repay me by not telling me your dating niall! I tell you everything y/n!” she screamed

“ I know Emma im sorry” I said quietly

“ oh I forgot to tell you I’m getting trading in my car for a moped so you going to have to find your own ride to school” she yelled getting into her jeep and speeding off

I closed the garage door and stopped inside I ripped my journal out of lily’s hands she gave me a smug smile and walked off. I went up to my room and angrily ripped all the pages out of my journal and threw them in the trash. I sat down on my bed looking down at my journal which was now just a  spine and cover.  Was so frustrated that I started to cry at first it was only a few tears but then it turned into a full blown sobbing. Niall was mad at me and my best friend hated me.
