I sit on the edge of my lit while Niall paces in front of me. "I don't understand, Kate." he starts. "Why are toi jouer la comédie so weird around me?" I look up at him helplessly. "It's not like you're weirded out par me being famous, right? So I don't understand what the deal is. It's like everytime I'm around, toi go into this shell and don't let anyone in." Niall continues, running his hands through his blonde hair. "I know who toi really are, but toi don;t montrer it! toi act shy all the time, toi act like you've been hurt really badly... if you've been hurt Kate, I want to know! I want to know so I can protect toi and make the hurt go away!" I stood up and threw my hands to my side. "Enough!" I a dit angrily. Niall looks at me in surprise. "Sit down, pretty boy." He cautiously sits on my bed. "I am hurt." I say angrily. "I am very hurt. I have tried to get over it, but everyday has just been so hard since toi left. Niall, toi didn't even say goodbye to me! How did toi expect me to feel everday since then? I felt like I had done something wrong, something to make toi hate me, something to make toi regret every saying toi loved me. Do toi remember that Niall? toi a dit toi loved me before!" I cried. Niall's eyes soften and he pulled me suivant to him. "I never got to say it back to you." I whispered. "And then toi left a few years later... but it still hasn't change for me, Niall. I stil care... I still l’amour you. I always have." He hugs me tightly. "I was afraid if I told toi I was leaving, things would only be harder." he admitted quietly, playing with a strand of my dark brown hair. "You were wrong." I whispered, barely audible. "Well that doesn't matter now. It's in the past, and I'm here now." Niall says, coming closer to my face. "Please don't." I beg. "I thought toi wanted this?" Niall asked, confused. "I do, Niall. I really do. I just don't want our first Kiss to be at a time like this." Niall stood up and took my hand. "In time, I will make up for all those chances I should have kissed toi at. I promise that." I smiled and he wiped away my tears. "It's always been you." Niall says. "Nobody compares to you."
