Rachel's P.O.V.

I felt my heartbeat increase, and I was surprised Brad couldn't hear the ridiculous thumping, it was so loud.

Of course, I had come to terms with the fact that I had feelings for Niall, but love?

Was I honestly in love with Niall?

I opened my mouth slowly, but before I was given a chance to say anything my phone began buzzing in my pocket.

"Rachel, don't you dare answer that" Brad's voice was cold and firm.

I took a deep breath.

"I-I have to go" I stuttered out slowly.

"Excuse me?"

"It's been good seeing you" I lied quickly, turning around to head back to the café.

He caught up with me easily however, grabbing hold of my arm.

"Listen to me Rachel, you know Niall will never love you back. He'll never love you the way I do. He'll never care about you the way I do" Brad's breath tickled my ear.

I attempted to pull out of his grip but he only clutched me tighter.

"If you really cared about me you wouldn't of hurt me like you did Brad" I began.

"You wouldn't have made me feel like absolute shit" My voice raised.

I felt his hand loosen and I took this opportunity to pull my arm away from him.

"Goodbye Brad" I whispered, turning on my heel.

With that, I left him standing on the path alone.

My heart was still thumping but I managed to walk back into the café and take a seat at the small table Chelsea was now sitting at.

"Hey, you okay?" She asked, sipping at the cup of coffee she now had in front of her.

I nodded.

"Of course" I lied easily.

She shrugged.

"I gotta say Rach, that Brad guy's pretty hot.." She giggled slightly.

I hummed in response softly.

My phone began buzzing in my pocket, causing me to jump slightly.

I whipped it out quickly and answered it.

"Hello?" my voice was still slightly shaky.

"Rachel? Are you okay?" Nialls voice didn't come as much of a surprise.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine.." I replied.

It was obvious I was lying but I changed the subject quickly so that he couldn't press the issue.

"Niall can I ask you something?" I asked him softly.

"You just did" he mumbled back, causing me to roll my eyes.

"Of course" he added.

I began twirling a strand of my hair before speaking.

"About Ireland.." I trailed off slowly.

"What about it?" he responded quickly.

I took a breath.

"I want to come with you" I told him.

There was a small silence.

"You do?" he sounded doubtful.

"I do"
