Remember When?
So Close
Niall's POV
Its been days since I've heard from Clary. I knew that she would be upset but I figured she would eventually come around. Right now I was on tumblr looking at pictures. It was amusing to see what people thought about us. Also it was a good distraction from Clary ignoring me. I was on my couch when there was a knock on my door. I opened it to find Matt. God what the hell did I do to deserve this?! I sigh and glare at him. "What the hell do you want?" I was seriously considering beating the bastard. I have been kind of on edge lately…probably because I drove Clary away by wanting her close.
"Is Clary here?" I close my eyes and sigh.
"No she's not. If she was why do you think I would tell you?" I can't believe I'm having this conversation.
"Because she would want to see me. Duh." Yep I'm going to beat him up.
"Riiiight and that explains why she's avoiding you." I smirk at him while he glares back.
"She's avoiding you too clearly. So where is she?! It’s the weekend! She doesn't have anything to do!" He just grumbles then walks away. I gladly slam the door. Damn that was weird. I sit back down then realize it’s the weekend. This weekend Clary was going to go visit Lilly in Dublin, along with the rest of the girls. I quickly grab my phone and call El. "Hey! El…are you with everyone?...Could you but Clary on the…but I need to talk to…fine when will you be back here? Fine tell her I'll meet her at her place." I hung up, angry that Clary still refused to talk to me. But hey one more day until I see her. Shit will she break it off? I hope she doesn’t…wait what if in her mind we already were broken up. Oh god. This whole thing is a mess. I should've just told her what I was thinking. God I am an idiot. Why am I always the one that screws up and then Clary gets mad at me then our whole relationship crumbles. I hear another knock so I get up and smile when I see Harry on the other side. "Haz! Get in here man!" He smiles and runs into my place flopping down on my couch.
"All of the girls are gone…wanna have the boys over?" He mumbles to me while tapping away on his phone.
"Sure! That sounds great! You're already telling them aren't you?" He just smiles and nods. I should've guessed.
~The Next Day~
I wake up on the floor of my living room. I groan and look around. Liam is curled into a ball across from me. Harry is sprawled on the couch because he called dibs. Zayn was in a chair and Louis was under my coffee table. "Guys…Guys…its almost 2 in the afternoon. Aren't the girls--" I was cut off by a loud pounding on my door. Louis whines from under the table.
"Make it stoooop my heaaaad." I get up and shuffle to the door. I open it and see a very pissed off group of girls. They all push past me.
"Ladies…come on in." Clary just stands by me while watching the others grab their boys and drag them out. Penny stops and tells Clary that she will see her at home. Then walks off with Harry close behind. I don't know if they are dating or not but he really likes her. She'd be good for him. I go back and attempt to clean up. "Niall we need to talk."
"I don't wanna." I know I sounded childish but if I can make this conversation not happen that maybe we will stay together.
"Niall stop that. Come on you look like shit." She grabs my hand and pulls me down the hall. I just stumble behind her. I'm just so tired. Clearly sleeping on the floor did nothing good for me. She pushed me onto the bed. "Sleep then we will talk." She got up to leave but I stopped her.
"No stay…I sleep better with you here." She sighs but climbs in next to me. After settling into a comfortable position I slowly drift off. I was jolted awake by Clary. I just groaned and rolled over. Then I smelled food. My stomach betrayed me by letting out a grumble. I heard her laugh so I got up to see she made me dinner. Which was Nando's delivered. I smiled at her then dug in. Hoping that she forgot she wanted to talk about her job. "Niall listen about that stupid job you set up for me…I don’t want it. I like my life here." I stopped eating and looked at her. She wasn't looking at me but at her hands.
"Clary…I just thought that you would enjoy it…you know seeing the world and being with me…" I watched as she slowly looked up at me.
"I'm not mad about that part you dork. Why'd you sneak behind me to do it?" Ah that's why she was mad at me.
"I just wanted to surprise you…of course I should know that surprises aren't your forte. But I just thought it would be nice…" I mumbled while looking down at the ground. I feel her sit down next to me. Then I feel her breath on my neck.
"I know Ni…but we are a couple so please next time something involving my career comes up please tell me." I snap my head to her. Did that just happen? She forgave me so easily! Well if you don't count the days she ignored me. I just leap at her crushing her into a hug. I start kissing her all over her face while se tries to pry me off.
"Get off of me! You weigh like a billion pounds!" I could only laugh at her. But I got off anyways knowing that if I stayed on top things would go south.
"So you'll take the job?" She sighs and looks at me. Her deep green eyes study my face.
"I don't really have a choice."
Penny's POV
I still can't believe that Clary is going to be on tour with them. God everyone is leaving me! At least I will have Nicole for most of it. She is planning on going on the European leg of the tour. Me, on the other hand, can't. Because I have a job that makes me stay here. Harry and I have been hanging out a lot but he hasn't made a move yet. Which makes me angry and nervous. I really like him and what if he just sees me as a friend? That would kill me more than what Ryan did. Speaking of him, we are on the level now that if I see him in the hall we will exchange hello's but nothing further than that. Clary and him are somewhat back to being good friends. I suppose working at the same place was the cause of that. I don't mind, she's careful to not bring him up in conversation. She is really my best friend in the whole wide world. I hear her get back from Niall's. She walks right into my room and flops down beside me. I drove Harry back to his place and told him to rest then took a cab back here. "Well…I forgave him. But I still don't want to go Penny." I just laughed at her.
"Oh Clarissa…think about you will be with him a lot. Makes up for the years that you were apart. Sure he was stupid to go around you to set it up but he has good intentions. Plus you'll see all the places we've talked about going too." Clarissa sits up clearly sensing the sadness towards the end. She is smiling at me. And I don't like it…she's up to something.
"Clarissa…what have you done?" Clarissa just kissed my cheek then ran out yelling at the top of her lungs.
"YOU ARE COMING WITH ME TOOOOOO!" I jumped out of bed and ran after her.
"What the hell do you mean I am going with you?!" My best friend was bouncing up and down clapping like one of my kids.
"I talked to your principal aaaaand you are officially taking a sabbatical or whatever. Sooo you get to come with! But shhh Haz doesn't know yet." I just stay there gaping at her. She what?
"But…I'm not even a college professor! I don’t get a sabbatical!" Again Clarissa just smiled.
"I can be veryy persuasive. Plus I gave him a signed CD to give to his little girl. After that it was in the bag. So you are coming too! Plus maybe Haz will finally ask you out." I just swat her arm. I guess there really isn't an option. You can't argue with Clarissa once she sets her mind on something. I sigh but agree to go.
"But I get to tell Harry okay?" Clarissa just nods at me like what I just said was pointless because that was already the plan. I glare at her so she just giggles and hugs me again. She is in a good mood.
"So I take it everything went smoothly with Niall then?" She rolled her eyes.
"As smooth as I could. He still knows I'm not happy but I don't have much of a choice. My boss already agreed to the deal. But that’s okay because I will have you now!" She beams at me. I roll my eyes this time. But I am happy that I get to go. Hopefully I'll have my job when I get back. I'm just thankful that I met her. Because who knows what my life would be like without her. This weekend was a blast. All the girls welcomed me with open arms…which was a relief to me. So this tour will be fun if the others come for a bit as well. Besides I'll have Clary to keep me sane.
Its been days since I've heard from Clary. I knew that she would be upset but I figured she would eventually come around. Right now I was on tumblr looking at pictures.
