Remember When?
That One Interview
Niall's POV
Today we had this interview thing with Radio One. I didn't really want to go considering I've been moping around the past couple of days. I saw her…she was right there and what did I do? Text her. I should have just ignored Louis and went straight over to her. Hugged her and kissed her. Now…I'm back to being broken like that first year without her. I still remember that night when we went to the carnival in the park. She was smiling and pulling me hand begging me to go on this ride or to play this game. I won her this bear and we were so happy...now well now we are so close be hell it felt like she was a world away. We were supposed to be getting ready and meeting at Liam's before since his place is the closest to the station. I head on over. Its like a 15 minute drive. I get there and I am the first one. Liam opens the door and hugs me. "Nialler! Welcome back home! Come on in mate." I hobble on in. Having crutches suck…so much. I just want to fling them out the window. I go and sit down. I notice that he has been playing a lot of Xbox lately…why are there two controls out though? I look at him and he's busy texting someone. Who?! Sophia is out of the picture because well she was a bitch and none of us liked her. But also because Liam caught her cheating on him. "Who are you texting Payno?" His head snaps up and he frowns a bit.
"Cla--no one." There was a knock and Liam went to let them in. I just sit there shell-shocked. Was he about to say Clary? My Clary?! What the fuck is he doing texting my girl? Well she isn't my girl anymore but everyone knows she's off limits. EVERYONE. Liam comes back in with Harry and Zayn. They sit down by me. Teasing me about my crutches. Louis comes barging in. "Lets go ya lazy bums! We have an interview to do! Then I say we come back here and play FIFA and drink some beer!!" Then he ran back out. Everyone was laughing but got up. No one can argue with Louis so we all head down and pile into the car. Its like a 30 minute drive to the station because all of the crazy fans. We finally get inside the building and are lead up to a waiting room I think. There are some water and snacks here. Which is nice of them but I just don't want to eat. Some guy comes in and introduces himself. "Hello I'm Max the head of this station. Nice to meet all of you. When my top guys come in I'll be sure to lead you to booth. It should start at around noon." He leaves us alone. Liam has stopped texting but every so often he checks his phone. I bet its one of those girls he met at his club a couple of nights ago. Well good for him I guess. There are plenty of other names that start with Cla. Like Claire…or…or that’s really all I can think of. I hear commotion from the hallway. Sounds like Max and some other guy arguing. "She will be here! Just calm down Max…Yes WE KNOW HOW BIG THIS SHOW IS!" Then it quieted down so I couldn't hear anymore. I'm sitting next to Harry right now. Who is poking me. "What Haz?"
"Louis told me that you saw Clary…did you talk to her?" I shoot a glare at Louis.
"She ran away from us." I look at Harry and see him kind of slump in the chair. I felt bad for him. Him and Clary were really close until about 2 years ago.
"Hey come on Haz don't do this to yourself again." He looks up at me and nods. I check the time and its almost noon. Max comes in and leads us to the booth. There is only one guy in there right now. He seemed about our age. He had lightish brown hair and kind of blue eyes. They were more grey blue really. He looks up at us then smiles. "Hi…I'm Ryan! Nice to meet all of you…" He was looking behind us though and aimlessly shaking our hands. I think he shook mine twice and skipped Liam. We all sat down and I sat down across from the empty chair. Ryan kept on looking at the door. So Harry spoke up. "What or who you looking for mate?"
"My partner…she should be here by now. I don't understand. She knew how big this interview is." Ryan was tapping a pen anxiously. And that's when the door burst open. We all turned around and I think I'm hallucinating. "I AM SO SORRY RYAN! I had to like battle my way in here!" Then she looks at all of us. Her eyes go wide and she stops walking. Harry springs out of his chair. "CLARY!" He runs over and hugs her. Ryan seemed confused.
"Clary? Her name is Clarissa...babe do you know them?" Babe?! I can't even move...I look from her to Ryan. God please no...she can't have moved on.
"Get off of me Harry. Ryan we'll talk later. I'm not in the best mood after dealing with those crazy hormonal girls."
Is it possible that she has gotten even more beautiful? Of course that outfit of hers really didn't help. Harry put her down and smiled while she was just staring at…Ryan. I looked from her to Ryan then back at her again. She swiftly moved past Harry who just stood there confused. Then Ryan asked her something. "You're okay though right? Nobody hurt you?"
"I'm fine Ry lets just get this thing over with." Ry? She had a nickmane for him? I felt like I just got punched. Liam was next to me and Harry was on the other side. She still hasn't looked at me. I run my hands through my hair quickly. Liam speaks up. "You never told me that you worked here. You should've said something I could have like warned you or something." Clary just smiled at him and shook her head. The 'ON AIR' light flashes on and well here we go. I look at Liam…then it all clicked. He had been talking to her recently. She was the old friend he ran into at the club. He is so dead. Clary's voice rang out. "Good afternoon! Now all you young girls hold on to something because, boy do we have a surprise for you. Sitting here right now across from me is the one and only One Direction. They are here for an exclusive interview before the BRITs. So stay with us for the next 30 minutes to hear all sorts of stuff." Then there were a string of questions. And shockingly she didn't seem that thrown off by us. She was laughing at some of the things we said. It was like old times. Until the interview was over.
Clary's POV
I did enjoy the interview don't get me wrong its just that…well its them and they made their choice. Granted Liam and I have been hanging out every so often. The interview ended but none of the boys got up. Ryan was really confused but he was meeting up with Penny for lunch or something so he left. Leaving me with 5 boys that don't really like me anymore. Harry spoke up first "Well Clary isn't this just interesting…care to tell me why you stopped talking to us." I put on a song then I look at Liam who just nods. Ugh I don't want to do this right now. Niall has just been staring at me all interview. My phone dings and it’s a text from Ryan.
Ry Ry: You have A LOT of explaining to do missy.
I sigh and look back at Harry. "I was busy working." I look at Liam who just gives me the 'keep going' look. I groan but continue. "I graduated last May so over the summer I interned over here at Radio One. And they hired me and Ryan on after the summer. I worked my way up to the prime show time. I didn't message you a lot because I worked odd hours most of this past year. I couldn't go to your concert because I was here in London. I tried to get Nicole to go in my place but she had football training." The song ended so I go up and put on another one. All the boys were just gaping at me. But Liam just smiled and gave me the thumbs up. Then I hear a thick Irish accent sound out. "So then why didn't you reach out again?" I turn around and finally look into those blue eyes that I loved oh so much. I sit down and lean back.
"Because I didn't think it was worth it." Liam kind of flinched a bit Niall looked like I stabbed him. Harry just gaped at me while Louis and Zayn just shook their heads. I look down at my hands then back up at Liam. He sighed but spoke up "Just lay off of her. You can't blame her for that one. I mean look at all the shit Ellie gets Tommo…and any girl that is just friends with us. I mean--" He was cut off by Niall. This will not be good.
"Liam you have been talking to her haven't you?! YOU KNOW SHE IS OFF LIMITS." Now I am pissed.
"Niall James Horan you can just shut up right now! I am not yours anymore. I haven't been for like four years now! Just let me go! So what if I have been talking to Liam?! It shouldn't be your business anyways!" I was standing up and leaning my hands on the table.
"Its my business because....I still love you! Even after all this shit you did to us." I step back shocked. All the boys look really uncomfortable. Minus Liam who just mouthed 'I told you so' to me. Zayn cleared his throat but I couldn't peel my eyes off of Niall who was staring right back at me. "I think its safe to say we all just missed you and we want to say we are sorry. Please Clary…don't be like this. After the BRITs you and Lills should come to mine and Perrie's house. A little reunion if you will."
"Zayn…that sounds nice but Liam said that Eleanor hates me and Lilly can't come. She lives out in Dublin finishing her nursing degree since sophomore year when her mom fell ill…I think you guys should go." I cross my arms and sit back down. Harry comes over and crouches down by me. "But Clary…I…we really want you back in our lives. Come on babe." I look up at Harry. He looks pretty much the same. But I shake my head. "I don't know Harry…" Liam just grabs Harry away from me.
"Just give her some space mate…she'll come around hopefully." Harry just nodded at Liam, who led him out the doors. Niall was the last to leave. He looked back at me…as if soaking up every detail because he knew he might not see me again. Then he left. I let out a sigh. This can not be happening right now. I finally am at a place where I am happy. I'm close to my mom and Nicole. Plus I still see Lilly often. And I have two great friends in Penny and Ryan. Then the boys have to come waltzing back into my life. I knew I should've skipped work today. Ryan comes back at like 1:30. Then it was my lunch break. I was just out the door when I spotted Niall still on the bench. He stood up and came over. "Niall why are you--" He just kisses me. Like the kiss in movies after long lost loves are reunited. He pulled back and his thumbs caressed my cheeks. I look at him like he is out of his fucking mind. He just smiles down at me. "I'm not letting you walk away this time Clary. You are mine. You always will be." Then he left. I stood there stunned. I think I just lost my appetite. He what? He doesn't…he couldn’t…but I know that he meant every word he said. And I couldn't help but smile. But I figured that was the last time I was going to see him. But whatever let him think he can get me back. I think I just love the memories of him. Sure he looked almost the same but I mean I was young back then. And know I just need to focus on my career. I decide to grab a bag of chips and go back in. I give Ryan a shortened story of how I knew the boys. I made him swear to not tell Penny…because I could only imagine how that would go down. A lot of screaming would happen because Penny is a HUGE 1D fan. I mean HUGE. I get home at like 10:30pm. I knock on Nicole's door and she lets me in. "You look hot today. I heard your interview…how'd that go for ya?" I tell her the whole story included the hallway scene with Niall. She just whistles. "Well Ginger…you sure are in a hole. Don't you have to go to the BRITs?" Oh shit…I forgot about that. Great…Perrie and Eleanor will be there…well that should be interesting for sure. I just get up and say goodnight to Nicole then go crawl into bed. But I had a hard time falling asleep too busy replaying that kiss over and over again. Stupid fucking Niall. My phone buzzes. I grab it to see who the hell is bothering me now.
Liam: I hope that we can still hangout if you don't want to be friends with the rest of them…
Me: I suppose so…idk I don't want to talk about this now. Good night Liam.
Liam: Good night love.
Love…ugh. I can't believe this is happening to me. I just hope that I can avoid them during the BRITs. I hate this so much. I don't want them back in my life…I do miss them but I have to think about what this would do to me. I feel bad though…would it be bad if I just talked to Liam only? I am so confused.
Today we had this interview thing with Radio One. I didn't really want to go considering I've been moping around the past couple of days. I saw her…she was right there and what did I do? Text her.

His head snaps up and he frowns a bit.
"Cla--no one." There was a knock and Liam went to let them in. I just sit there shell-shocked. Was he about to say Clary? My Clary?! What the fuck is he doing texting my girl?
