Who Are You

Late Friday night

"No they don't teach you this in school
Now my heart's breaking and I don't know what to do
Thought we were going strong
Thought we were holding on
Aren't we?

You and me got a whole lot of history
We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history
So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever"

I swayed back and forth to the lively song. Finally convincing Niall to play me something on his guitar, we sat in the now empty bar.

The bar had just closed up about an hour ago. After cleaning the spilled beer and sweeping the floors, I had talked him into singing.

It was a wonderful song, Niall said he had wrote it recently.

Finishing up his melody, I applauded him.

"Niall!" I praised him, standing up from the bar chair and rushing over to him. "You are absolutely amazing, how aren't you famous yet?"

Chuckling lightly, he shook his head back and forth. His gleaming hair standing up.

"I would never do it without Harry. It just wouldn't feel right." Getting up, he delicately returned his guitar to its case.

My Harry? Well technically not mine.

For a second it slipped my mind that the two were friends. I knew Harry also had an outstanding voice, I just never thought that he would actually consider doing something with it.

"As in Harry Styles?" I asked innocently.

The only people who had a clue about Harry and I was Layla and Carter. I had no idea how Harry would react if everyone knew about us.

Was there really even an us?

"Yeah, you've met him right?" Niall asked.

Humming a yes in response, I became more suspicious of Harry and Niall.

Clearing my throat, I spoke, "So do you guys have a band or something?"

A small smile reached Niall's lips.

"No love, we've just been best mates ever since he moved here. He has a better voice then me, I usually just play guitar. But every time I try to talk him into us doing a show, he finds some excuse not to go. I kind of gave up after the last time." Now he seemed slightly disappointed.

Putting a supportive hand on his back, I understood how he felt.

A dream of mine since I was in high school was to become an elementary teacher.

Working with little kids was a passion of mine.

Of course, my high-class family didn't approve. My parents were well-respected doctors who expected nothing less of their son and daughter.

My father was my rock. Although he would rather of had me pursue a more challenging field than education, I was still his little girl.

Dad knew that if I wasn't able to teach, I wouldn't want to do anything.

Now my mother, she was a whole different deal.

Tom had always been my mother's favorite. Even though she would deny it to death, I knew she wished I had turnt put more like him.

I was also aware she blamed me for Tom's death.

One reason she would never be a mom to me.

"Lucy, are you alright?" Niall asked, clearly concerned.

While I was thinking about my family I must have been in my own world.

A slow nod of my head signaled I was fine.

"Yes. Just miss my dad." It was true, I just left out my intolerable mother.

Niall sweetly wrapped an arm around my shoulders, squeezing tightly. His friendly comfort was nice. Ever since Layla lost Lance, she's needed some alone time. Which left me almost friendless besides Carter.
The two of us began to lock the bar up after our bonding moment. Just as I flicked off the light switch, cheery voices were heard from outside. I locked the doors and headed out.

Stepping outside, it was a little chillier than usual.

Probably because it's past midnight Lucy!

Niall and Harry stood in the parking lot by Harry's car.

Oh yeah! Harry was picking me up. I joined the two and noticed they were laughing and catching up.
Harry eyed me and gave a quick wink before Niall noticed me.

"Hey Lucy! I didn't know you and Harry knew each other that well?" He asked curiously.

Fuck, what the hell was I supposed to say?

Oh yeah Niall we hated each other at first but there's an undeniable spark between us and he just fingered me a couple hours ago. Also I think I may love him!

"What?" Harry asked astonished, his mouth hanging open.

"Lucy did you know you just said that out loud?" Niall looked scared for me.

Fuck.my.life.

Notes

This is a short filler chapter. I wanted to give you more info about Lucy's past and I needed to build up her and Niall's friendship. Next chapter will be longer.

I I update when I feel like it.
