Listening to Niall

Chapter 43: Russia

It was Monday morning, and we were all back at school. The excitement around Eleanor and Louie's engagement calmed, and we were all ready to get back on track with work.
I walked into class, promising my friends I'll meet them later at the cafeteria.
"Jamie! I heard about the news" Mia got up to hug me
"Lovely news indeed! when are you two getting engaged?" Lea followed her.
"Ha, we still have time" I smiled at them
"Gosh for a minute there I thought you might have gotten engaged as well- the ring on your finger" Rachel commented with raised brows
"Niall gave me a promise ring" I showed it off "Not an engagement ring but I'm happy with it"
"He is wonderful isn't he" Mia smiled "are you ready for my wedding next week?"
"Sure am, dress tryouts are later today right?" I asked
"Yes, making sure the size is right and all"
"I still can't believe you're getting married next week and you're at school" Rachel turned to look at her
"I can't sit at home doing nothing- I'll go mad- and anyway- we have a fun day planed today- you'll meet my best friend Hannah too"
"I'm up for a fun girl day with you lot, haven't done that in a while" I beamed.
"Hi girls"
We turned to see Ariel walking up to us.
"How are you?" I asked her. She still had a few marks on her face from the accident but other than that she looked good.
"I'm fine, thanks. So is your boyfriend getting ready?"
"Ready?" I looked at her in confusion.
"Ready for Russia"
"Russia? Why should he be getting ready for Russia?" I looked at my friends, all had the same confused look on their faces.
"The exchange student program- the names are out" She shook her head walking off
"Niall tried out for the exchange program?" Lea asked
"No, she has him confused with someone else, I would have known about this"
I pushed away what Ariel said and settled down to listen to my teacher.
She must have it wrong. I would be the first to know if Niall was planning to study overseas for the next semester.
We started working on our final project. I've decided to design solar street lights, since the ones that we have on the streets are pure ugly.
The teacher was giving instructions to what we should do next, and how to continue.
When class was over I excused myself from the girls and harried to find my friends.
The boys were already at our table talking loudly making their usual amount of noise.
"Hyia love" Liam waved as he saw me approach.
"Hey boys, how was class?" I sat down by Niall smacking his cheek with a noisy kiss.
"I'm ready for another vacation" Liam exclaimed.
"Sit down yoyo, you're getting one next week" Louis sat Liam down.
"Another vacation?" I look at him questioning
"Russia baby" He held up his palm for Niall to high five. It took Niall a moment to answer him back, looking at my, little fear in his eyes.
"Liam you idiot" Zayn shook his head.
"Wait, so it's true?" I glance from the boys to Niall.
"I was planning on talking to you about it later today" He said quietly.
Eleanor and Perrie joined our table then.
"How's it going?" El smiled at us.
"Not that great, Liam stuck a foot in his mouth" Harry told her.
"What?" Perrie and El looked at him.
"He just let it slip that him and Niall are leaving for Russia next week"
"Not really..." Perrie looked at them
"I shit you not" Louis's eyes were wide.
"And only now you remember to say something? After the whole week you were together?" Eleanor had a fold between her eyes, watching Niall.
"I didn't think I'll get in, so there was no point of telling you about it" Niall answered her
"I can't believe you haven't told me about this" I got up from my seat.
"Come on Jamie, I just found out about it late last night"
"I need to get to class" I leave the table.
"When are you finished? I'll pick you up, we'll go talk this through"
"After school I have measurements for the bridesmaid dresses" I turn and walk away, feeling their eyes on me.
I can't believe he kept this a secret and from me!
I stride back to class, ignoring my ringing phone, knowing by the phone ring it was Niall.
I was upset, and heart. We have spent the last week together. He didn't think of telling me he applied? Him and Liam together. How come he didn't even mention about trying out for it?
"What's wrong?" Lea asked when I walked in.
"Oh no, so it is true? Niall is going to Russia?" Mia watched me sympathetically.
"I don't want to talk about it" I sit down at my desk folding my arms.
"Will you still be coming today?" She asked
"Sure! I won't give up on it! Even if my stupid boyfriend decides to go to Russia without telling me about it"
"What a twit" Rachel shook her head in disbelieve.
Mt phone kept going off, Niall wasn't giving up. But I didn't answer. If he could go all this time without telling me about it, without talking to me about his plans, than he can go a little longer, he can wait until I'm ready to face it.

"Jamie"
I look up to find Niall standing next to me.
"Why aren’t you picking up- I'm calling you"
"I don't feel like talking to you right now" I sat stubbornly
"Jay, I'm sorry- I truly am, it wasn't supposed to come out like this"
"So how was it supposed to come out? The list of the names going out was up this morning. People came up and asked me if you're getting ready to leave- and I had no Idea what they are on about- I feel so stupid now" I take hold of the sides of my head shaking it in my hands.
"I'm sorry" He knelt down next to me, a hand lying on my back.
"How can you do this to me?" I whispered.
"Let's meet after school, talk this through" He said quietly so only I could hear.
"No, I have plans, you should have thought of this before"
"Ok, so when you get back then" He stood back up.
"Yeah, maybe"
My teacher walked into class, letting Niall know it's time for his to go.
Everyone was watching me. What happened with Niall just now didn't go unnoticed, but I didn't care, I was so upset that I just couldn't care less about the people around me.
The teacher started talking about our next project, but I wasn't paying attention.
I was checking my phone, since I just got a message.
From: Niall
I love you Jamie! You know that..

From: Jamie
But still you didn't think to tell me

From: Niall
Why is this such a big deal? I'm sorry- I keep telling you
I am sorry…

From: Jamie
You're missing the point

From: Niall
So enlighten me then

I don't answer his message since it made me even more upset. He really couldn't understand why I was mad for not telling me? I was having a hard time processing what was going on. Just a week ago everything was perfect. WE spent Christmas together and New years, Eleanor and Louis go engaged and I got a promise ring from Niall. However, once we get back to school it seems like it all vanished as if it never happened, Niall keeping from me such a big part of his school year.

When class was done, I kept sat in my seat, not up yet to face my friends, and with that I mean Niall.
I sat and watched as my classmates left the classroom leaving me sitting alone.
"Jay?"
I didn't need to turn to know Eleanor was peeking in the room.
"Let's talk" She strides in and sits on the table "You're upset"
"Wouldn't you be too?"
"Yes, I would, you have every right to be, I'm on your side love, so don't lash out at me"
I gave out a deep breath "I don't understand why he didn't tell me about this? And Liam kept quiet too, and Zayn and Louis probably knew about this as well" I just downed on me that all the boys were probably in on this, keeping it from me.
"If it makes you feel any better, nor did I or Perrie know about this" El took my hand in hers.
"I just don't understand" I repeated.
"You need to talk to him, knowing Niall it wasn't intentional"
"I know, but I can't help but feel hurt" I pout up at her
"I know babe, come here" El reached out to give me a hug, once again reminding me why she is my best friend.
"Jamie, just keep in mind that he might really want to go"
I knew what she meant. El was telling me not to give Niall a hard time, since he always does what I want so it might be time for him to do something he wants for a change.
"Yeah.." I shrug, telling my body to let the tension go.
"Come on, let's skip next class and go do something fun" She got up from the table
"Like what? I need to be back here though at 15:00, I'm going with the girls for last measurements.
"Let's go to the window then"
The window. We haven't gone there for ages.
The window was at the new library the college was building for the past two years. We would sneak in with coffee and cookies, climb the stairs to the top floor and sit by the big window, sitting there we could see the whole campus spread wide beneath us, watching as students stride along the walkway, or sitting on the grass soaking up some sun.
On rainy days like today, we would sit curled up in our coats and gloves holding a hot cup of tea and watching the rain fall, sometime spotting a pretty rainbow on the horizon.
Sitting there now with Eleanor was so relaxing. It made me forget of Niall leaving next week.
"How happy are you El?" I ask as I looked out the window. They put up the glass so it wasn't as cold as the last time we were up here.
"I'm ecstatic! it feels as if I'm living a dream" She smiled. Eleanor was always the most happy person I knew, but these last few days it was even more so, and it filled me up with joy to see my best friend like this.
"It is so wonderful, every time I think of it a smile appears on my lips" I smiled at her.
"I want to wait until the school year is done to plan the wedding, I want so many things for it- it should be perfect"
"It will be, I can't wait" I lay my head on her shoulder.
"You'll help me plan" El nudged me playfully.
"I'd be delighted" I looked up at her beaming
"I would expect nothing less from my maid of honor"
"I knew I'd get that title but I was waiting for you to give it to me nonetheless" I clapped my hands and wrapped my arms around her shoulders, laughing.
"This is going to be so much fun"
"It is" I smiled.




When Mia let me off at the flat Niall was sitting on the stairs waiting for me.
"Why are you out here? It's cold you should have waited inside" I stood in front of him.
He was resting his arms on his knees, looking up at me.
"Ready to talk to me now?"
I took to steps towards him, sitting down by his side, looking at me hands.
"Look, Jamie.." Niall started.
"No stop, let me talk first" I touched his arm. His blue eyes found mine, as he quieted to let me speak.
"I understand you really want to go to Russia and it's a big experience for you. I get that and I won't rob it from you. I just felt that you kept it from me. It really hurt finding out about it just now, a week before you leave"
"Jamie" Niall took my hands in his holding my gaze "I'm sorry I haven't told you sooner. I didn't think I'll get in.. Liam talked me into trying out, and I found out about it only a few days ago and I didn't know how to tell you"
"Why didn't you tell me when the Idea came up then?" I asked raising my brows slightly.
"I didn't think much about it, we haven't even told the others only once we found out we got in." Niall stopped to take a deep breath when he saw my eyes fill up with tears.
"It might not seem this way, but it's hard for me too, leaving for such a long time.. not seeing you every day, not touching you, smelling you" he reached to stroke my hair.
"When do you leave then?" I whisper
"The morning after Mia's wedding". Now tears spilt out my eyes on to my cheeks. I pulled my hands away to wipe at them.
"Don't cry Jay" I saw the pain of him making me cry reflect in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry, it just happened" I try and manage a slight smile "You're just leaving so soon"
"I'll be back before you'll know it, and you'll have Eleanor and Perrie, and the boys will look out for you too" Niall touched my cheek.
"But it's not the same"
"I'll skype you, and I'll talk to you on the phone- every day" He promised
"you'll miss valentine's day" I reminded him, new tears falling to my cheeks
"And your birthday- but I promise to make it up to you"
"Promise me you won't forget me and find a pretty Russian girl there"
"If you promise me not to find a new boy here"
"You know there is no one but you" I hugged him.
"God I'll miss you" He squeezed me to him.
"We'll need to make the time we have left together count" I pulled away from him giving him a cheeky smile.
"Just what I was thinking" He got up and pulled me to my feet.
