The Setup

It’s the last week of the tour and I am actually kind of sad to be heading back. More sad because I don't know when I will see Liam and Harry again. I plan on staying friends with Niall. So hopefully we will hang out more. I don't know its all confusing because when I get back I have one night in London then I leave for New York. Niall still doesn't really know that I will be gone fore 3 months. But the way I see it is…we won't break up…I'll just be gone for work. Mickey ended up getting cut so he is staying behind while Lola and I venture out to NYC. Its pretty intense because we have the Victoria's Secret shoot and fashion show then a thing for Burberry then prep for Fashion Week then it's Fashion Week. I don't really know how I feel towards Niall…I just know I have strong feelings for him. Maybe I will tell him about me being gone for 3 months. I currently in the bus laying around because I don't really feel to good. Niall is off doing a sound check but he said that he was going to set up a movie screen in the venue for us. Which is nice and thoughtful. I hear the boys so I stop texting Lola and look out the window. I see Niall. God he really is so hot. His blonde hair has grown on me even though I still prefer brown hair Niall. His eyes are just beautiful they always were. And I could listen to him laugh all day long if I could. I finish texting Lola when they all come barging in. "Cleooo…get off your phooone." Harry whines and practically lays on top of me. I hear all the boys laugh while I struggle to get him off. "Harryyyy! Get off of me! You're too fat I'm going to die." Harry just laughs and gets up. I shoot him a glare. Niall comes and plops down beside me. "Hey baby…you feeling any better." I shake my head no. I think my stomach has officially decided that I have eaten too many burgers and it is revolting against me. He just kisses my head and pulls me up off the bench. I don't really want to move or go anywhere. "Niall…can't I just sleep?"
"No! I set the whole thing up! Come on!!" He just continues to drag me out of the bus and into the venue. I just let him drag me because I don't really have the energy to resist. He then gets behind me and covers my eyes with his hands. God he's like a kid on Christmas. "Just trust me." He guides me for what feels like forever but finally he takes his hands off and I look around. He's turned the whole dressing room into like a little theater. I am speechless. There is like a little bed cuddle thing in the middle of the room. "Do you like it?" I look at Niall who is fidgeting with his hands not looking at me. "Yes of course! Oh Niall its lovely. Thank you." I go over and hug him. I really want to kiss him but I'm not sure if he wants that. He just pulls me in closer to him. Then lets go and picks me up bridal style. "PUT ME DOWN!!"
"Fine." Then he plops me down on the pit of pillows and blankets. He goes and puts on Snow White. God he remembered that I love watching these movies when I was sick or just scared. I would watch them all the time growing up when I stayed home 'sick' but really because I could barely walk from a bad beating. "You remembered…" I look at him while he sits down with a huge grin on his face. I don't know why but having him remember all these little things made me feel closer to him. I used to try to forget all of that because I thought it was for the best. But now I think remembering all the good moments it really helping me let go of that anger I used to carry around with me. "Of course I did! Its like the only thing you watched growing up."
"I watched other things!!" I punched his arm. He fell over pretending that I seriously hurt him. I started laughing so he did too. God his laugh…He comes over and pulls me into his arms. The movie was starting and that's when my phone rings. I look and its Mickey. Oh boy…I get up and Niall looks at me. "It's Mickey…I really should take this. I'm sorry." I hear him stop the movie and throw something. "Hey Mickey what's up?"
"Okay I guess. Man I really wanted that job. But nooo now I am going to be stuck here while you're off living the dream."
"I know I'm sorry Mickey! We really want you to be there. Maybe Mom can find you something over there while we are gone…something to keep you busy. I don't know. I'm almost home just like one more week."
"But then you are leaving me again! How is the boyfriend?"
"He's good…thanks for asking somewhat nicely. I didn't realize how much I missed him…"
"But you miss me more right? You're not replacing me?" I can hear the fake worry in his voice. He's mocking me. That asshole.
"Yea you're good. Don't worry. I have to go but hey when I get back I promise to spend those days with you okay? Hell we won't even leave the apartment!" I hear him laugh over the phone. I really did miss Mickey. He is my closest friend. I feel awful that he didn't get the job over in NYC. But that's the business for you. Nothing is a for sure thing. We say our goodbyes and I head back in. Niall starts to movie again. I sit down next to him. "What did Mickey want?" I look at him. Is he jealous of my relationship with Mickey still? God that's annoyingly cute. "Just wanted to make sure I'm alive and planning for when I get back home. I only have like 2 days before I go back to work for a long time. So I'm hanging with him the whole time I think."
"And me. Right?" I can tell he was nervous that I was just going to ditch him. But I don't really want to. I like being with Niall. I just nod and smile at him. He pulls me into him and we watch the movie. Apparently Niall was planning on a marathon because he just kept on playing all the princess movies one after another. I fell asleep during Mulan.

"Niall please don't leave me! You promised that--"
"Yea well people change Cleo! I just don't know anymore. I just need a break for a while." He leaves our apartment. I just sink down to the floor and cry. I sob like when my mother left me. He said that he would never leave me. He wasn't going to hurt me like they did. He lied to me. I let him take my heart and he destroyed it. I love him but he doesn't love me anymore. I cry until I fall asleep. I wake up on the floor and I feel that pit. I get up and shower, throwing on one of his sweatshirts. I walk back out to see him standing there. I look at him. "Cleo…I'm sorry I just…"
"You lied to me. You promised you wouldn't leave me…but you did." He looks down at the ground. Then he runs over and hugs me. He kisses me like he was desperate. "I'm sorry I just needed time to think. God I promise to keep that promise this time. I love you so much Cleo…I'm never leaving okay?" I cry and hug him. Everything will be okay now because I have him back.

I wake up and look around. We both fell asleep. I look over and see Niall sprawled about. He was murmuring my name in his sleep. I gently shake him awake. "Niall wake up!" His eyes fly open and he looks at me. He tackles me to the ground. "You're alive…thank god that was just a dream."
"I died?" He just nods his head while still laying on top of me. He gets off of me so we are both sitting up and looking at each other. "It was awful Cleo…I couldn't get to you in time. I saw it…"
"Hey cheer up! No one likes a sad Nialler." That name just slipped right out and I totally didn't mean to say it. He just looks at me. I look away because well I am not sure why I said that in the first place. My heart is beating really fast. I think it might jump out of my chest. He moves towards me and I stopped breathing. "Cleo look at me." I couldn't…I physically couldn't bring myself to do it. So he did it. His hand moved my face so I was looking in his eyes. Those damned blue eyes of his. "You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to say that…" Then he leans in so our lips are barely touching. God just freaking kiss me already. I literally can not breathe right now. I feel his breath on my lips. "Cleo…I think…I think I'm in love with you." Then he kisses me. He's in love…with me. I don't really know what to say back. He stops kissing me. Somehow I got onto my back and he is hovering above me. I look at him. I realize that he's everything to me now. I work up my courage. "Niall…I already…loved you I think." I look back at him and he is smiling wider than I think I have ever seen. He kissed me again. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. My hands run through his hair. While I wrap my legs around his waist and pull him down on top of me. I feel him smile which makes me smile. He rolls over so I'm on top of him and we just lay there. I wish I could stay here forever.

Notes

Well it is about damn time!! Gosh. But Cleo still hasn't said when she was leaving!

Will their happiness be short lived? Or will they stay strong during Cleo's time away?

Well I am so bored...I have like nothing to do I have basically been spending my days writing. Not that I don't like writing because I do but I have like nothing going on because I don't work until like mid-June. But hey at least I will finish stories quicker. I ran outside today and I'm fairly certain I almost melted into a puddle. Well enough about my boring life. I hope you all enjoy that update! :)
