Gone
Seventy-Nine
"Is everything alright, baby girl? You seem quiet,"
His soft voice startled me. We made our way down slowly but surely, hand in hand. Mum had suggested I get out of the house for a bit so I seized the moment by inviting Niall along. I figured the sooner I saw him the better.
I was feeling so guilty I could barely even manage to look him in the eye when I spoke to him. Every time I pushed it out of my mind, it just forced itself back in like it'd never left. I hated feeling this way but this was one of the consequences of having a conscience.
I had called Josh earlier but it'd just gone straight to voice mail. I'd been persistent though and had tried to call multiple times. If that made me desperate then so be it. I was desperate: desperate to arrange some sort of deal so that Niall didn't find out about my infidelity. Even I was having trouble keeping my mouth shut.
I couldn't imagine how he'd react to it. I know I'd be furious and not just with Josh. I mean, it did take two to tango. He'd probably be adamant at first, get really upset and confused, and then march over to Josh's to punch him in the face. He wouldn't get very far though. As much as that bastard deserved it, violence wouldn't solve anything. If anything, it would probably just make the situation worse.
I had no idea if Niall was the type of guy to break up with someone over something like this but I definitely wasn't game to find out. I liked him too much to risk it. I'd break up with me if I was him. Maybe, it was because I knew about everything that had happened. If he thought that it hadn't meant anything to either of us, he wouldn't react as badly. It was just a theory I had.
"Yeah, everything's great," I muttered under my breath.
I did my most convincing forced smile and followed him down the steep, grassy hill towards the playground. We set up our stuff and lay underneath the huge Jacaranda tree on a picnic blanket.
"Well, I'm glad. I want you to be able to share anything with me,"
