3. Even If The Skys Get Rough
Niall's POV
I spent the whole weekend with Isabelle and knew the second I started rehearsal I was going to miss her terribly. These past 9 months have been about just us. Being together. And now it was all crumbling down. I couldn't leave her. I just couldn't. But I also couldn't disappoint the fans. They were important too. I sighed. This was going to harder than I thought. We rehearsed "Gotta Be You" and I just wasn't as into it as I usually am. "Niall what's up man?" Harry asked me. I looked up at him I knew I had tears in my eyes but I didn't care. I wiped my eyes. "Nothing". "Come on man, I know this song is emotional but not enough to get you to cry." I laughed a little. "I don't want to leave Isabelle. It's been just us for the past 9 months. And things have been so hard for her for a while. And now that things are good again they're getting bad." "Look man". Harry sat down next to me. "We're all going to fall in love. Look at Liam and Louis. They've been with Danielle and Eleanor for so long it's easier for them to leave." "Yeah but that's them. Liam has been with Danielle for almost 2 years. And Louis has been with Eleanor for almost a year. They're use to it! Plus they have things going on in their lives. Isabelle's parents are gone, her brother and foster parents are in Australia. And her best friend is in California. She only has me." I started crying again. Harry bit his lip unsure of what to say next. He just patted me on the shoulder and walked back to the other lads.
Isabelle's POV
Niall was at rehearsal all day and I was alone in his house. I decided to call Jade. We haven't talked since before my parents died and she probably wants to hear from me. "HEY!" she said when she picked up. "Hey". "Hey... I heard about your parents Izz. I'm so sorry." "It's alright. It's gotten better." "That's good." She said. It was quiet for a second then she changed the subject. "SOOO how's Niall?" I giggle-blushed. "He's wonderful!" "How long have you been together?" "9 months". "OH MY GOSH! That's SO cute!" Jade killed me when she over exaggerated things. "Yeah but..." "But what?" "He's going on tour starting next week." "Oh" "For 6 months". "Oh my gosh Izz that's terrible!" "Yeah it is" I began to cry again. "Oh Izz don't cry, you can come stay with me!" "I couldn't do that" "No! It's no problem! My parents love you, you're like family. And besides. We haven't seen each other SO long." I sniffled. "That's true." "Come on! It'll be fun! We can go to the beach and shop and all the stuff we like to do together!" "I guess it could be fun" I started to consider it. "Of course it'll be fun! Come on Izz whadya say?" I laughed. "I say.. I'm in!" "Yay! Let me go talk about it with my parents and get back to you ok?" "Ok, talk to you soon Jade." "Bye". And we hung up. I picked up my book from the nightstand and began reading it again. It wasn't long before Niall came on and found me reading again. "You're still reading that? Good God Isabelle. I'm starting to think you love that book more than you love me!" I laughed. "That could never happen! Well.. on certain occasions." This time HE laughed. He put his arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek. "How was your day?" he asked. "Eh it was ok. Got pretty boring all by myself." "Yeah.. my mum works a lot. Even though I'm famous she still works hard to keep this roof over our heads." "That's so sweet!" I smiled. "How was rehearsal?" He sighed. "What's wrong?" "It was hard. I thought about leaving you again. And how hard it was going to be not seeing you for 6 months." "I know. It's going to suck" I admitted. "But I talked to Jade and I think I may being to stay with her while you're gone." "Oh! That's great! I won't feel as guilty for leaving you." I laughed a little.
