Always.
Lockdown.
“Niall, are you alright?” I asked him, trying to put a hand on his shoulder. He jumped at my touch and glared at me.
“Don’t touch me.” He looked my square in the eye with angry features and I moved back as if it were reflex.
I nodded and watch the guy who was my friend less than a week ago walk away as something or someone who I felt as if I had never met.
Not the sweet Niall who laughs and is in band and is a genuinely nice guy to me and the others he talks too. This Niall scared me more than I’ve ever been scared in my life.
Little did I know that he could be way worse, and I would soon find out how.
I still feel terrible. It’s Saturday afternoon and I’ve already finished a slice of cake, half a box of cookies, and season one of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on Netflix. I texted Niall this morning too, telling him I was sorry.
I really did feel terrible that I didn’t even catch on to him liking me. I just wasn’t used to things like that, I guess. I mean I guess when Liam did I caught on but that was before.. UGH Jesus, I am so over this.
I play season two and eat basically for the rest of the weekend. Along with some more text messages.
On Monday I didn’t want to get out of bed. I was right the other day about starting my stupid period. Now I know I am going to have terrible cramps today and I feel sick from eating all that junk food. And I may have pushed it when I ate two pizzas by myself this weekend, but it was so worth it. So freaking worth it, ugh.
But after my shower I felt a little better. I was nervous for today to see Niall. He didn’t answer my text messages over the weekend and now I just want to make sure he’s okay. I don’t know why my saying no would make him so upset, I’m just me.
As I pulled into the school parking lot I took a deep breathe preparing myself for the day.
The day was going by slowly as Monday’s do and I knew Niall was avoiding me and I wouldn’t have that. I raced out of Spanish first and then waited for Niall to leave the room, the whole time in class he seemed really jumpy. I finally caught him and he tried to get away.
“Niall, wait!” I said as I walked quickly after him.
“Kelly, I don’t want to talk. J-just l-leave me alone please.” He stuttered and turns to walk down the hallway, causing me to lean against me lockers and fall down to the ground with my head in my hands.
Thursday.
It was just like every other normal day really. I walked into Walker’s class and ignored Harry, I stared at him in homeroom. Then in the halls I would see him with Caroline and I remembered why I can’t let my guard down, and I remembered what I’ve said to him and everything that has happened between us.
I have been trying to talk to Niall, but I’ve had no luck. Every time I see him he just looks so angry. He’s red faced, and jumpy and I don’t really know what to do about it. I mean I could just give up, but I can’t do that. He was so sweet to me and he was there for me even when he didn’t know it was a bad time.
I couldn’t believe that all this hurt was actually coming from me, I just couldn’t.
Today when I saw him he looked nervous, he constantly watched everyone everywhere he went and I really wanted to talk to him, but he didn’t look like he was in good condition.
I finally decided to while he was at his locker during lunch, finally standing still and not making any noise.
“Niall, are you alright?” I asked him, trying to put a hand on his shoulder. He jumped at my touch and glared at me.
“Don’t touch me.” He looked my square in the eye with angry features and I moved back as if it were reflex.

Not the sweet Niall who laughs and is in band and is a genuinely nice guy to me and the others he talks too. This Niall scared me more than I’ve ever been scared in my life.
So I walked away from his locker and down the hall to band. And needless to say, Niall wasn’t there. And in my four years of high school with him he’s only missed class once because he was apparently really sick.
Marching season was coming to a close and it was time for us to practice Christmas music and some more for the Veteran’s Day Parade we had. I was back to playing flute for the Christmas music we played today, and I just wasn’t feeling right.
“Potter?” I raise my hand. “Can I use the restroom?” I asked and he nods at me.
“Hurry back.” He says, giving me a look I can’t completely figure out.
I grab the band hat as I walk out of the room, through the double doors, and down D hall to the restrooms. The students in the science area were loud as I walked in.
I stayed in there for a little bit, probably longer than I should have until I heard an odd, but familiar slight ring. I wasn’t actually using the restroom the whole time, I was just… in there. After the ring I washed my hands as my mind tried to figure out what the bell was. As I was into the hall I realized how quiet it was, was quieter than earlier, and when I looked at the classrooms, I noticed there were pieces of paper over the doors.
Wait, we’re in lockdown?!
I scrunched my eyebrows and pulled my phone from my pocket while it vibrated. I quickly looked at the message displayed on the screen.
From Danielle:
Not supposed to have my phone, but I’m worried sick about you! You need to come to the room, we’re in lockdown and Potter says it’s the real deal.
My eyes went wide as I began walking quickly towards the double doors that lead to the band hallway.
“Kelly, where are you going?”
I turned around and came face to face with the last person I ever thought would be pointing a gun at me.
“Don’t touch me.” He looked my square in the eye with angry features and I moved back as if it were reflex.
I nodded and watch the guy who was my friend less than a week ago walk away as something or someone who I felt as if I had never met.
