Chapter Nine
Part Three
What do you mean it’s going to go downhill from here,
Mom?
I mean it takes time to get used to the ability to talk to
the dead.
I can—
Yes, you can. Andrew, honey, this is going to be hard for you
but you can get through it. I can only give you one piece of
advice.
What? Mom… what can you tell me?
Trust the blonde one…
My eyes opened and pain still pounded in my head. I was dizzy and
very thirsty.
“Andrew? Guys, she’s awake!” Louis exclaimed
and I moaned.
“Lou, please no shouting,” I said and he nodded.
“Sorry, love,” he said and I tried to smile, but
failed do to the terrible pain in my head and eyes.
“You look hurt,” Niall said and I nodded. The nod
sent a shooting pain down my spine.
“Just a tad,” I said and Niall sighed.
“Guys, can I have a moment alone with Andrew?” he
asked.
“I actually need to talk to her first,” Harry said.
“Niall you can have her right after me, it’s just
important.”
All the guys and Maggie left, as Harry sat down on the edge of
the couch where I was laying.
“Andrew, I know this is probably a really bad time and I
know I probably seem like a jerk right now, but I need to break
up with you. It’s just—“
“There’s another girl and we have nothing in
common?” I asked and Harry laughed.
“It’s a good thing you are an understanding person
that makes every awkward situation kind of funny,” he said
and I managed a weak chuckle.
“You’re a lucky boy,” I said and he
laughed.
He stood up and opened the door.
“Can I talk to her now?” Niall asked and Harry
nodded.
“She’s all yours,” he said. “But
she’s like my little sister, so keep it in your
pants.”
“HARRY!” I gasped and he laughed.
“So,” Niall said, closing the door behind him.
He sat down next to me and sighed.
“What?” I asked.
Next thing I knew his face was right before mine, his lips
brushing mine ever so slightly. Noticing that he was hesitating,
I put my hands by his ears and brought his head down so our lips
met. After pulling away, Niall smiled.
“I hate you,” he chuckled.
“I hate you too,” I said and we sat there for a
moment, just in silence.
