I sit on the edge of my 床, 床上 while Niall paces in front of me. "I don't understand, Kate." he starts. "Why are 你 表演 so weird around me?" I look up at him helplessly. "It's not like you're weirded out 由 me being famous, right? So I don't understand what the deal is. It's like everytime I'm around, 你 go into this shell and don't let anyone in." Niall continues, running his hands through his blonde hair. "I know who 你 really are, but 你 don;t 显示 it! 你 act shy all the time, 你 act like you've been hurt really badly... if you've been hurt Kate, I want to know! I want to know so I can protect 你 and make the hurt go away!" I stood up and threw my hands to my side. "Enough!" I 说 angrily. Niall looks at me in surprise. "Sit down, pretty boy." He cautiously sits on my bed. "I am hurt." I say angrily. "I am very hurt. I have tried to get over it, but everyday has just been so hard since 你 left. Niall, 你 didn't even say goodbye to me! How did 你 expect me to feel everday since then? I felt like I had done something wrong, something to make 你 hate me, something to make 你 regret every saying 你 loved me. Do 你 remember that Niall? 你 说 你 loved me before!" I cried. Niall's eyes soften and he pulled me 下一个 to him. "I never got to say it back to you." I whispered. "And then 你 left a few years later... but it still hasn't change for me, Niall. I stil care... I still 爱情 you. I always have." He hugs me tightly. "I was afraid if I told 你 I was leaving, things would only be harder." he admitted quietly, playing with a strand of my dark brown hair. "You were wrong." I whispered, barely audible. "Well that doesn't matter now. It's in the past, and I'm here now." Niall says, coming closer to my face. "Please don't." I beg. "I thought 你 wanted this?" Niall asked, confused. "I do, Niall. I really do. I just don't want our first 吻乐队(Kiss) to be at a time like this." Niall stood up and took my hand. "In time, I will make up for all those chances I should have kissed 你 at. I promise that." I smiled and he wiped away my tears. "It's always been you." Niall says. "Nobody compares to you."
