Niall's P.O.V.
I sat in my bed, crying. I felt like a loser. Two days and I'm still crying over a girl. A girl I've known not even two weeks.
I just... I don't know. It seems stupid, but I really do love her.
She is everything I've ever wanted in a girl and more.
She hates me though. So it doesn't matter.
There was a knock on my door. I did my best to wipe the tears without making my eyes red and quickly answered the door.
"Hey, Harry!" I greeted with fake enthusiasm.
"Niall, are you okay?"
"Yeah why do you ask?"
"I can tell that you've been crying."
"No, I haven't."
"Niall. Just tell me," I couldn't stop them from coming.
I explained why I was crying to Harry. After I finished he looked down at his shoes. He almost looked.... guilty, "Harry?"
"Yeah, Ni?"
"Did you want to tell me something?"
"Well...um... I know why she said that she hates you."
My eyes were the size of golf balls, "YOU DO?" I practically yelled.
"Yeah..." He mumbled.
"Tell me," I demanded.
"I can't..."
"Why?"
"I promised Sasha I wouldn't..."
"Who is more important Sasha or your best friend since 3rd grade?"
"You, but, I promised. I could lose her if I told..."
"Harry, I could lose Odessa! I've never felt this way before! Please."
Harry sighed, and that's when I know that he's not one hundred percent about Sasha yet, and then explained to me why she had said she hated me. My mouth dropped and I quickly grabbed my keys.
"Where are you going?" Harry questioned.
"To go get my girl."
I drove to Odessa's house. Speeding the whole way. The second I parked I jumped out of my car and ran to her door. She opened the door and looked upset to see that it was me.
"What-"
I cut her off. I quickly grabbed her pulled her close and kissed her. After a second she kissed back. When I pulled away I smiled, "Im not going to hurt you."
"Why are you telling me this?" She questioned.
"I know that you don't hate me. Harry told me everything."
"How would Harry know?" she asked.
"Sasha," I said simply.
"Oh..." She looked down.
"I'm not him though. I would nev er do that to you. I would never hurt you. Please, say you'll be mine."
"I can't Niall. Steven said he wouldn't hurt me either. Obviously he was lying so how do I know you're not?"
"You'll just have to trust me."
"I can't," I was about to just leave when an idea popped into my head.
"How about we make a bet?" I suggested.
"What kind of bet?" She quizzed.
"Give me 3 months. I bet that I can make you fall in love with me before the three months are over."
She thought about it for a second and then answered, "Get ready to lose."

What Have I done?
I can't believe I told him that.
I can't believe I actually feel like that.
What happened to never falling in love?
This can't be right. I'm not going to love him anymore. I can't. I'm not going to get hurt. I won't let myself. If he tries to talk to me I'll ignore him.
*Nialls P.O.V.*
Two days.
Two days since she told me she loved me.
Why did she run off though? I mean, if we both love each other... it just doesn't make sense...
I can't take not knowing anymore. I have to confront her. I'm going to go over to her house right now and demand an explanation.
I quickly got in my car and drove towards her house.
A few minutes of nothing but the sounds of cars and I could see Odessa's house come into view.
I parked in front of her house and ran up to her porch. I knocked quickly and waited.
"Hel- Oh, its you," She frowned.
"Yeah, it's me. You know, the guy who you ran out on after telling him you love him," I recalled.
"Yeah, well. I lied," She stated simply.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I lied. I don't love you. In fact, I hate you. I just felt bad for you," She answered.
"No you don't," I denied.
"Yes I do. Now please, get away from me," She requested.
I just turned around and walked back to my car. I could barely see through my tears as I drove back home.
**Sasha's P.O.V.**
Harry and I were now officially a couple. As of 20 minutes ago.
"Do you want to see if Niall and Odessa want to watch a movie?" I suggested.
"Sure. I'll call Niall," Harry pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Niall's number.
**Phone convo. No one's P.O.V.**
Harry: "Hey, do you wanna come over and watch a movie?"
Niall: *Sniffles* Nah, I can't.
Harry: Why are you crying?
Niall: S-she told me s-she l-loved me. But, now she s-said she h-hates me.
Harry: Who?
Niall: Odessa.
Harry: Do you wanna come over and talk?
Niall: No. I'm just gonna go home. I really wanna be alone right now.
Harry: Alright, talk to you later.
**End Convo Sashas P.O.V.**
I looked at Harry concerned, "Why was he crying?"
"Odessa said she loved him but now she hates him."
"No she doesn't," I mumbled.
"What?" Harry asked.
"She doesn't hate him," I said louder.
"How do you know?" Harry asked.
"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone else."
"I won't."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Well, two years ago Odessa was dating this guy, Steven. They dated for a year and a half. They were in love... or at least she was. See, as it turns out... the fucking dickhead dated three other girls in the time they were dating. One for 6 months. One for 2 and another for 7. She cried for weeks. It took me two months to get her out of the house. It still hurts her. She won't allow herself to be hurt like that again... so the second someone mentions any feelings.... she's gone. She has probably crushed so many boys but she doesn't care. As long as she doesn't crush herself."
Harry looked at me, stunned, perhaps, "I can't tell Niall this?"
I pretended to slap him, "Hell no! He's the LAST person you could fucking tell, not that you can fucking tell anyone in fuck's place but NO!"
Harry chuckled, "Seeing how many curses you put in one sentence, I don't think I'll tell him."
"Good, because honestly, if you did, we'd be over. That's how much Odessa means to me," you said seriously.
Harry nodded.
I can't believe I actually feel like that.

Gift From the Gods
I'm curious as to what Niall has to show me, mostly because I've already seen his house, which is a fucking AWESOME dump. Yep, a dump that's fucking awesome. I'm so funny, right?
"YOU CAME!" Niall exclaimed.
I couldn't help noticing the way his smile warmed me up, his voice sounding like he was thinking I wouldn't come, but was glad that I did. I feel, wanted. And the only two people that ever make, made, me feel that way are... Sasha... and, him.
"Of course I came! Who do you take me for?" I replied tartly.
Niall chuckled, "I dunno, a self righteous bitch?"
I laughed, "You wish!"
"Actually, I don't. You're a beautiful girl that I've come to admire and love, despite her sassy, sarcastic, rude, irritating, stubborn, ways," Niall stated clearly.
"Way to lay it thick," I raised an eyebrow.
He just said he admires and loves me, friend-like, or more? I fidgeted a bit with the thought, and then I realized that Niall was just flat out staring at me.
"Bastard, let me in!" I snapped.
Laughing, Niall opened the door and we walked to the kitchen, where his mini tv and three huge bowls of popcorn were set up. I breathed in the salty smell of the food in front of me, noting the huge bottle of soda.
"Want some..." pause, "NIALL!!! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THIS MOTHERFUCKER!" I exclaim, as the soda explodes, EVERYWHERE.
Ever heard the term "rofl"? Ever seen some do that, literally? Well, I'm joining your club. Niall rolled on the floor, laughing hysterically, mangled cries coming out of his grinning lips.
"Nice Niall... just nice," I muttered to myself, the soda had already begun to get really sticky.
"Ya know you love me for it!" Niall smiled brightly, as he picked himself up off the floor.
"Okay, cut the chase though, what did you want to show me?" I replied, very annoyed, and even more curious.
"This..." Niall took a deep breath, and then, "I see her eyes walking my way, I see her smile at me. I feel the wind through the trees, the sun shining on me, and I realize, she's this much to me. She's everything I ever needed, everything I've been looking for. She my princess in gold."
I swear, I think my mouth dropped. The melodic tunes that came from Niall was so beautiful, the lyrics matching his rough accent perfectly.
"Damn Niall! Someone got a gift from the gods!" I said shocked.
Niall grinned shyly, blushing bright red by now, "You should hear Harry sing. He's really good too."
"Both of you?" I asked incredulously.
Niall chuckled, as his cheeks slowly turned back to their normal color, "Yeah. But I wanted to let you know that singing means a lot to me, cause I love you and all."
Before I can shut my fucking mouth, unforgettable words spill out, "I love you too."
Time to run away.
And run away I do.
"YOU CAME!" Niall exclaimed.
I couldn't help noticing the way his smile warmed me up, his voice sounding like he was thinking I wouldn't come, but was glad that I did. I feel, wanted. And the only two people that ever make, made, me feel that way are... Sasha... and, him.

And run away I do.
Popcorn
Niall and I had been texting all day. We figured out that we are going to the movies at 8, and we know that as far as me and him go we are going as friends. Hopefully it stays that way, because I really don't want to have to stop hanging out with Niall.
It was currently 7:30 I had just finished getting dressed for tonight and was about to text Sasha.
We texted for a while and then I heard a car pull up.
It was Niall and Harry. Harry was in the driver's seat and Niall was in the back. I quickly ran out and got in the back with Niall, then Harry drove a few houses down to Sasha's house and she sat up front with him. After that they started driving towards the theater.
"So, do you guys live in this town?" I asked.
"Well, Harry lives in the next town over and I live on the other side of town. I just moved there last week." Niall answered.
"Oooh do you live in that big house by the library?"
"Yep, that's the one." He confirmed.
We had just gotten to the movie theater. Sasha and I had tried to pay for our tickets but the boys refused to let us. They started trying to walk into the movie theater right away. Sasha and I just stood there with horrified looks on our faces. When they noticed we weren't following they turned and looked at us.
"What are you two doing?" Harry asked.
"I could ask the same thing!" Sasha noted.
"We are trying to go to the movie." Niall stated.
"You can't!" I argued.
"Why not? Is there a giant turtle blocking the door?" Niall questioned sarcastically.
"No, but there might as well be ninjas if you are trying to go to the movies unprepared!" Sasha argued.
"How are we unprepared?" Harry inquired.
"You. Forgot. Popcorn."Sasha and I said at the same time.
"Why do we need popcorn?" Harry asked.
"Why? WHY?! Its popcorn. It is the traditional movie snack. It is the best part of the movie. And MOVIE THEATER POPCORN IS THE BEST!" I answered.
The boys laughed then bought some popcorn.
"Its cute when you two get that worked up about popcorn." Niall laughed.
"Well, popcorn is a serious issue."
With that we went into the theater.
***
We have been hanging out with Niall and Harry for a week now. They are actually really cool. Harry and Sasha are practically dating. Although technically neither of them have asked the other out. I don't know where it's going with Niall and I. He's so... different. He's been to a lot of places, though he's hoping to, I quote, "Settle down and marry in about a hundred years." I feel the same way, because I'll be dead within a hundred years, thus, I will never marry. Hah! But Niall and Harry are cool, and Jackson finally got the hint. I've gotten glares from other people that I know are his friends, but I couldn't let him dangle forever, could I? Besides, what the fuck else is new?
Niall :P :
My place for popcorn?
Me:
Niall, in case youve 4goten, weve had popcorn at ur plc 3 nites in a row.
Niall :P:
Oooh she's got some sass!
Me:
And now u will kindly shut ur fucking mouth.
Niall :P :
And now you will kindly NOT swear.
Did I forget to mention that Niall doesn't like me swearing in any shape or form, even though he does, ALL THE FUCKING TIME? I don't know why I try to keep my swearing in check around him, it's like, I've finally met the person who can "control me". Not a good thing.
Me:
Yeh, popcorn sounds good, Harry and Sasha?
Niall :P :
Nah. Just us. ;)
Me:
In ur dreams.
Niall :P :
Don't think you want to know what I dream about, but I gotta go, cya around seven? Oh, and I have something to show you...
Me:
Sure. Seven. And please don't prank me on the way in. Thts not something 2 "show me".

Who's that boy?:
It had been 1 week since my date with Jackson. I had received:
12 missed calls.
7 voice mails.
15 text messages.
Can this guy not take a hint?
My phone went off and I expected it to be Jackson again. It turned out to be Sasha though.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey! Do you wanna go to the mall today?" she asked.
"I'm good how are you?" I replied sarcastically.
"How are Odessa? Good? Okay. I'm good too. Do you wanna go to the mall?"
"Yes, what time?"
"I'll pick you up at one!"
"Kay see ya!" I hung up and checked the time. 12:15. I quickly got dressed, and made myself a sandwich for lunch. When I was done eating it was 12:50. I decided to just wait for her outside. I sat on my front porch for a few minutes and then I saw him walking towards me.
Jackson.
"Hey!" He greeted with a smile on his face.
"Hey." I mumbled. Clearly less enthusiastic than him.
"Did you lose your phone or something?" He asked.
I was using my phone as he asked me that question.
Luckily though I was saved from answering his question by Sasha pulling up. I quickly jumped up, threw out a quick goodbye, and ran to get in the car.
"What was that all about?" Sasha questioned as she drove off.
"Jackson is like, obsessed, with me." I answered with a shudder.
"How so?"
"12 missed calls. 7 voice mails. 15 text messages. He just tried asking me if I had lost my phone... as he watched me use it."
"Okay.. well... that's creepy.."
"Yeah."
"I have some good news."
"What's that?"
"I'm going on a date with Mason tonight!"
"SASHA AND MASON SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I sang loudly.
Sasha hit me in the side but laughed. "Yeah, so I need you to help me pick out something to wear."
"Sounds good. Where are you two going? "
"Some, fancy restaurant."
"So it has to be something nice. Okay."
"Yep. I was thinking a short dress with like a low neck line."
"So the goal is to give him a boner?" I laughed.
"Yes! I wanna look sexy!" She replied seriously.
"Alright, alright. Sexy it is!" As we pulled into the parking lot I was laughing my head off. We quickly got out and raced (Literally. Sasha challenged me to a race. I won.) into the mall. We quickly ran into the first store we saw that sold dresses. No luck. Next one? Same. Luckily though the third had a few really cute ones! After a few -or should I say 20?- minutes of trying to find Sasha the perfect dress we finally found it.
We were now on our way to the small coffee shop in the mall. I was in the middle of asking her a bunch of this or that questions when she threw her arm out to stop me.
"Ow! What the hell Sasha?" I demanded. She said nothing simply pointed in front of us. I quickly looked in the direction she was pointing.
There was two guys. One with brown, curly hair and piercing emerald eyes.
It was the blonde one who caught my attention though.
Clearly bleached blonde hair. Gorgeous smile. Heartwarming laugh. The most incredible blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Quick, which one do you want?" Sasha shot out.
"What? You're going out with Jackson!" I reminded her.
"Are you blind? Either one of those guys is cuter than Jackson! Now tell me which one you want!" Sasha commanded.
"The blonde one." I quickly answered.
"Oh thank god, I wanted the brunette!" Sasha breathed.
The two boys were almost right in front of us. I saw the curly haired one looking at Sasha and smiling. I quickly looked at Sasha and saw a slight red tint to her cheeks. I looked back at the boys and saw that the blonde was looking at the ground and smiling. I wonder what was making him so happy? I didn't have time to continue the thought before both boys were standing right in front of us.
"Hey." The brunette greeted.
"Hey." Sasha giggled. I tried so hard not to laugh. Eventually though I couldn't take it and I fell to the floor laughing. Sasha looked traumatized but the boys were laughing with me. After my laughter subsided I stood back up.
"So, what are your names?" I asked, then added "Oh, and I'm sorry Sasha."
"Its fine. It was really stupid to giggle like that." She assured me. I leaned over a little and hugged her from the side.
"Okay, so what are your names?" I asked again.
"I'm Niall and this is Harry." the blonde one, Niall, answered.
"I'm Odessa and this is Sasha." I motioned to each of us.
"Nice to meet you guys. Do you maybe wanna catch a movie with us tonight?" Harry invited.
"Yeah, sure." Sasha answered. We exchanged numbers and they left. A few minutes later I got a text.
Niall :P :
Hey gorgeous.
12 missed calls.
7 voice mails.
15 text messages.

There was two guys. One with brown, curly hair and piercing emerald eyes.
It was the blonde one who caught my attention though.
Clearly bleached blonde hair. Gorgeous smile. Heartwarming laugh. The most incredible blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Quick, which one do you want?" Sasha shot out.
"What? You're going out with Jackson!" I reminded her.
"Are you blind? Either one of those guys is cuter than Jackson! Now tell me which one you want!" Sasha commanded.
"The blonde one." I quickly answered.
"Oh thank god, I wanted the brunette!" Sasha breathed.
The two boys were almost right in front of us. I saw the curly haired one looking at Sasha and smiling. I quickly looked at Sasha and saw a slight red tint to her cheeks. I looked back at the boys and saw that the blonde was looking at the ground and smiling. I wonder what was making him so happy? I didn't have time to continue the thought before both boys were standing right in front of us.
"Hey." The brunette greeted.
"Hey." Sasha giggled. I tried so hard not to laugh. Eventually though I couldn't take it and I fell to the floor laughing. Sasha looked traumatized but the boys were laughing with me. After my laughter subsided I stood back up.
"So, what are your names?" I asked, then added "Oh, and I'm sorry Sasha."
"Its fine. It was really stupid to giggle like that." She assured me. I leaned over a little and hugged her from the side.
"Okay, so what are your names?" I asked again.
"I'm Niall and this is Harry." the blonde one, Niall, answered.
"I'm Odessa and this is Sasha." I motioned to each of us.
"Nice to meet you guys. Do you maybe wanna catch a movie with us tonight?" Harry invited.
"Yeah, sure." Sasha answered. We exchanged numbers and they left. A few minutes later I got a text.
Niall :P :
Hey gorgeous.
Feelings were Involved
I sat and watched as my little sister, Allie, finished eating her mashed potatoes.
I still hadn't been able to stop thinking about what Sasha had said earlier. I know she wasn't trying to upset me but I really wish she wouldn't have brought him up. I know, its stupid to still hurt after almost two years but... I really loved him. How could he have done that to me? After a year and half together. I had to stop thinking about it because it was time to get Allie ready for her nap.

My mom had just gotten home a few minutes ago. I was trying to get ready for my date. It was about 7 so I still had an hour.I quickly turned on the water for the shower. I stripped down and stepped in. After I had finished my shower I made sure my towel was secure and stepped out to find something to wear. After about 5 minutes of searching I settled on this. I quickly got dressed and did my makeup. After I was finished I looked at myself in my mirror. I thought I looked okay. I heard the sound of a car puling up in front of my house. I looked out my window and saw a black Range Rover. I was a bit confused as to who it was at first but then I saw the person who stepped out of the car. It was Jackson. I smiled and quickly double checked that I looked okay. After I had confirmed that I did in fact look okay I made my way downstairs. Jackson was standing in the living room talking to my mom.
"Oh, look. There she is now!" my mother announced when she saw me walking down the stairs. "Come here and give mommy a hug before you leave."
Mommy? Hugs? Has she been drinking again?
Sure enough my suspicions were confirmed. When she pulled me into a tight hug I could smell the alcohol on her breath. When she let me go I quickly asked them to excuse me for a minute.
I ran to the bathroom and quickly dialed Sashas number.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hey, I know this is short notice but Im about to go on my date with Jackson and my mom has been drinking again."
"I'll be right over."
Luckily she only lived two houses down from me. She was there in a few minutes and brought Allie with her to her house. After she came and picked up Allie, Jackson and I left. I had tried to get him to tell me where we were going but he insisted on keeping it a secret.
"Please tell me!" I begged once again.
He just smiled and kept looking ahead. "Why Tell you. When I could show you."
I was confused but when I looked ahead of me I saw this.
"Oh my gosh. You did this all for me?" I asked.
"Of course I did. A beautiful girl deserves a beautiful date." he answered sweetly.
I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as he parked the car. He quickly got out and ran over to my side, opening my door for me. I had tried to get out on my own but he was too fast. He took my hand and helped me out then led me over to the small area he had set up.
The date was going great. He was funny, nice, smart, and sweet. I thought it would be the perfect date. Until, he took me home.
I was standing on my front porch with him. I was expecting him to just say goodbye or kiss me or something. Instead he had to open his mouth and talk.
"Odessa, I really like you. I mean, I know we just met today but, I really really like you. Your so pretty, and funny, and smart. I hope we go out again soon."
I felt my heart drop. He started actually caring about me already? If only we could have met before I met Steven. Maybe then I could have liked him. I knew I had to answer him, so I did something stupid.
"I really like you too."
He smiled and kissed me quickly. I felt so bad lying to him but he was so sweet and innocent. I couldn't hurt him like that. After we kissed he went back to his car and drove off. I watched as his car faded away. I went inside and headed straight for my room. As soon as I got there I collapsed on my bed.
Why did he have to care?

Basics of Flirting
Odessa!" Sasha screamed from the other end of the phone.
"Sasha. Stop yelling." I demanded.
"Fuck no!" She yelled.
"I hate you."
"I hate you too."
I laughed, "What do you want?"
"I wanted to see if you would come to the skate park with me!"
"Yeah, sure. Meet you there in 10."
"10 what? Years, months, hours?"
"Yes, 10 years. Stop being a smart ass."
"I'm a sexy ass actually."
"Whatever. See you in 10 minutes."
I hung up the phone and ran upstairs. I quickly changed from my pajamas to this. Grabbed my skateboard and walked over to the park.
"ODESSA!!!" Sasha screamed and ran over to me as soon as I got there.
"SASHA!!" I yelled back
"Oh my gosh. Guess who's here!"
"Mickey Mouse." I answered sarcastically.
"Mason!" She ignored my tone.
"So?" I asked
"So? So he is THE hottest guy in the entire school! Abs, hair, eyes,lips. God, I just wanna get him in my bed now."
"How Romantic." I rolled my eyes. Mason wasn't really all that cute. He was okay but... I think Sasha was exaggerating.
Sasha ran over to him and, of course, started flirting. I rolled my eyes and followed her over.
"So, Mason, what are you doing here?' Sasha asked. Okay, I loved her, but she was really bad at this flirting thing. Its a skate park. What does she think hes doing. Building a fort?
"Will you give me 1 second to talk with Sasha please?" I asked. Mason and his friend nodded as I pulled Sasha away.
"You are really bad at flirting." I stated simply.
"I'd like to see you do better." Sasha challenged. I smirked and walked over to Masons Friend
"Hey Jackson. Long time no talk." I noted. Reaching out to stroke his arm.
"Uh, we've never talked..." He replied.
"We should really change that though don't you think? I mean if you want to of course. I doubt a cutie like you would want to talk to a nobody like me." I bit my lip as I looked down tucking a stray hair behind my ear. Jackson tilted my head up with two fingers.
"Nobody? Are you kidding me? You are gorgeous. Flawless some might say." He complimented. I smiled.
"Thanks."
"No problem beautiful. Say, how would you like to go out tonight?"
"I would love to! I would love it even more if you came with." I joked.
Jackson laughed quietly, "I'll pick you up at 8. Wear anything....... or nothing, its up to you." Jackson winked, and he and Mason walked away.
"Okay, I admit, that was good." Sasha laughed as she clapped.
"Thank you, thank you." I bowed.
"Jackson is a really sweet guy though. I don't want you to break his heart."
"Relax girl. What makes you think I'm gonna dump him?"
"The fact that I've known you all my life. Look, I know that Steven hurt you, but-" I cut her off.
"I'm over him okay?" I turned away from her so she wouldn't see the tears, "Look, I gotta go. I forgot that I'm supposed to watch Allie."
With that I left, tears running down my face.
"Sasha. Stop yelling." I demanded.
"Fuck no!" She yelled.
"I hate you."
"I hate you too."
I laughed, "What do you want?"
"I wanted to see if you would come to the skate park with me!"
