Whatever She's Got

-Call

Niall's head pounds hard as he opens his eyes. Surprisingly, he's in his hotel room. Alone.. The sheet's having been touched. It doesn't smell like perfume. And there is no sign of a girl any where. He sighs in relief as he stands from the bed. His feet hit the cold hard wood floors. ''Damn.''He mumbles as he puts his hand on his side. His back has aching.

He walks to the sink and grabs a plastic cup from the counter. He fills it up with cold water and guzzles down a painkiller. As he sits the cup back down, he glances at his hand. ''What..is this?''he asks himself as he glances down at it. ''oh..yeah.''He rolls his eyes to himself as he remembers quickly.

"I wonder if she's up?''He mumbles to himself. He walks back to the bed, and grabs his phone. It was almost lunch, so he surely assumes she was awake by now. He adds her number in fast before calling her.

He waits a few minutes as it rings. Finally though, Jenna answers the phone. ''Hello?''She says. ''Hi..Jenna.''Niall says, hoping she'll remember him too. ''Oh, hi Niall.''She says happily. ''You actually remembered?''Niall laughs.''I wasn't that drunk last night.''She laughs a little to herself. ''Oh..anyways, what are you doing?''He asks her.

''I'm at the animal shelter..I volunteer here.''She informs him.''That's sweet.''Niall smiles to himself. Jenna just laughs a little."When's your lunch break?''Niall asks her. ''In an hour..why?''She says.''I was wondering..if you wanted to go out to lunch with me..?''He asks, worried and nervous. ''Sure..''She says. ''R-really?'' ''yeah..''She says,''But I don't want you to have to wait that long..why don't you come on up here?''She suggests.''Sounds good to me.''He tells her.''Okay, I'll send you the address and I'll see you soon.''Jenna says.''Okay, bye Love.'' ''Bye..'' Jenna hangs up first. A few seconds later, Niall receives a message, the address, but he doesn't reply.

He runs to his suitcase and grabs some clothes out. He quickly makes his way to the shower and hopes he'll be fast.

Niall walks through the door to be hit with the smell of Lemon cleaning products and the sound of dogs, mainly, barking. Niall makes his way to the counter where a man, about thirty, sits in a chair.

''How may I help you?''He asks Niall, looking up at him. ''I'm here to see Jenna..''Niall says. ''Okay hold on a second.''The man gets up after Niall nods. He walks to a door. He opens the door and yells for Jenna to come here. Seconds after the man sits down, Jenna comes through the door with a kitten in her hand.

''Niall!''She squeals and quickly dashes over to him. She hugs him with one arm, the other hand holding the kitten. But Niall uses both of his, being sure not to smush the Kitten between them.

''Cute.''Niall says as he looks at the kitten.''Isn't she?''Jenna smiles down at it. ''I think its nice that you do this.''He says, looking at Jenna's blue eyes. ''Thanks.''She smiles a little, looking back into his. ''Anyways.''Jenna suddenly says, looking away from Niall's eyes. ''Let me take you back here.''She grabs Niall's hand with her other and leads him through the door.

"This is where I usually spend most my time.''She tells Niall as she shows him the room with the cats. The kittens are playing on a rug. They leave the room, but instead of showing him anything else, Jenna and Niall just stand in the hallway.

''You seem down..what's wrong Love?''Niall asks her, concerned. ''I just..I wish I had.. my mom.''She whispers, looking down at the kitten in her hands. ''She loved kitties.''She whispers to herself. ''Jenna.''Niall mumbles. She looks up, raising her eye brows at him. ''Is every thing okay?''He asks, keeping his voice quiet.

''I lost my mom..about five years ago.''She tells him. ''I'm so sorry.''Niall says, stepping closer to her. ''Don't be..''she sighs.''Why not?''He asks, confused. Any one would want sympathy.. right?

''Because..I don't deserve it.''She mumbles.''But why?''Niall asks again, still very confused. ''Because! I just don't!''She yells at him. He jumps a little, not expecting that to come from her. ''Jenna.''He says, but doesn't continue on. ''Can we just go to lunch already?''She asks him after putting the kitten back in the room with the others.

''How about we just..go to my hotel..and talk..and eat. I don't wanna get you out in public with me so soon.. I'd hate for you to be in any rumors.''Niall insists.''Okay..sounds fine to me.'' Jenna smiles only a little as Niall nods agreeing.

He didn't care about the public. He just really needs to talk with her...
