How about No.
No Such Thing
I walk alone to the concert. I get there, but by the time I finally do, its over and crowds of people are gushing out of the entrance. I try and search for my friends but I can't find them and I walk quietly to the nearby park and sit on a bench. And I cry. The bench that I'm sitting on is freezing. Just as my soft and muffled cries turn into violent sobs i feel the bench get warmer and an arm wraps around my shoulder. I feel a lot better. I turn my face to Niall. I look up at him and I see his expression drop at my tear stained, swollen face. He takes his thumb and brushes it softly against my skin wiping away the last of my tears. He tilts my face up towards his. "Whats wrong Melody? Why didn't you want to kiss me? Is it because you don't like me that way? Cuz if you don't thats fine..." He trails off and looks away. I pull his face towards me and slowly lean in. He does the same. But the second my lips touch his, I pull away. I didn't expect to be blown away by the slightest touch. I open my eyes wide and I can tell he felt the same way. He looks at me, "Did you,"
"Feel it?" He nods. I did too. "Like"
"Fireworks?" He finished for me. I shook my head no. He looked at me confused. "More like an..." He cuts me off again. "Atomic Bomb?" I smiled and nodded this time. He smiled. "Wanna try again?" I give him a devilish grin. He laughed his adorable laugh. "I'll take that as a" I cut him off by crashing my lips to his. My hands run through his hair. I can't help but get tangled up in a fantasy with him in my head. He asks for entrance and I open my mouth a little wider to grant him access. We both wanted it. Bad. His tounge started to explore my mouth. I could feel it grazing across the tip of my teeth. I thought it was getting pretty damn intense. For a moment I forget my morals. Then he breaks away and looks at me in amazement. "Melody..." I give him a funny look. "What?" He gives me a goofy smile and says, "I have definitely never met a girl like you before." I give me another funny look. "That's a good thing...right?" I ask cautiously. He nods. "Of course it is!" He pulls me close and I nuzzle my head into his chest. After what seems like a five minutes but was actually half an hour, we look up to the sound of whistles and cheers. Its the One Direction Boys and K.C. and Katherine. They look at Niall and I in pure, utter, amazement. We smile and get up walking hand in hand. He walks me to their tour bus. K.C. and Katherine get on first then Louis, Zayn, Liam and Harry. NIall and I are the last ones to get on the bus. The bus ride is so peaceful and I feel so safe in NIalls arms. I soon fall alseep.
******************************************************************************
"Mel! You awake yet?" I wake to the sound of Niall calling my name. I sit up and realize I'm still on their tour bus. "Shit! Niall?" I call out. Niall rushes in from their bathroom where he was in the process of putting on a T-shirt. I don't think I've ever realized how chisled his perfect abs really were. and Oh Em Gee...His V-Line. Ughhh! It made me wanna cry just by looking at it. Knowing he could never be mine was absolutely heartbreaking...He throws the shirt on and rushes over to my side. "Whats wrong Mel? Are you ok? What happened!?" He pulls me close but I pull away. "Why am I still on the tour bus...?" I ask him. "You're going on tour with us love!" He winks. I bolt up off the bunk where I was laying. "No! I can't. I've got college to worry about!" Niall waves his hand. "No worries Mel. I've got that all taken care of. You're only coming on tour with us around Europe. Then when we leave for America you can stay in London...If you want to that is..." He smiles. My face twists into a contorted mess and I plop down on the bunk and curl up into a little ball and start to cry...again! I don't know why I keep crying. I really don't. I guess it just happens! He puts his arms around me and hugs me tight. I can hear his voice shushing me, telling me not to cry.Unfortunely it works. I look up into Nialls blue eyes. They're the kind of eyes a girl could be totally and helplessly lost in. I think that I might be in love with him. Falling for him. And that wasn't a very good thing. He holds me tighter. "Melody. Why do you always cry? When I hold you and when I don't! K.C. and Katherine thought it would be a wonderful Idea to take you on tour. I thought that you'd be excited..." He looks away. I can see a tear fall slowly from his cheek. I reach up with my thumb and wipe it away. He turns to look at me. "Melody. I." His voice cracks. "I guess that if you don't want to go on tour. You dont have too." He looks at the ground this time. He gets up and takes his arm off my shoulder. He starts to slowly walk away. "Niall?" He turns around. "I'm sorry. I really am! I can't...I can't go on tour with you..." Now its my turn to look down at the ground. I hear him sigh. He walks towards the front of the bus as I chide myself for being so stupid! I hear footsteps coming towards me. I'm still looking at the ground. I guess Niall is coming back. But I'm wrong. I look up to see Harry's familiar face. He sits down next to me. "Melody. What's wrong with you? You know Niall loves you...right? He's never acted this way around a girl before. I can tell by the way you look at him you love him too. Why can't you just admit it?" I sigh. "Because Harry. I don't believe in love. In my world, there's no such thing. Cuz all you do is get hurt. Its better to stay away from lifes intoxication and to live free, than to fall hopelessly and helplessly in love with someone who just plans to leave you in the long run. There's no such thing as forever or love at first sight. Because if there was, I wouldn't have been so hurt to the point where I don't believe. Love is just a stupid emotion that gets in the way of all the things we want to acomplish. The things we do. What we want to become. There's no such thing. Nor will there ever be such a thing as love." He looks at me. He sighs, then he gets up and starts to walk away. He turns around slightly, and says, "Melody. Give it a chance. You can either try to get along with Niall...or you can let possibly the best thing walk out of your life. Its your choice. Take it or leave it. But I guarentee that if you take the chance...You won't get hurt. Decide now Mel. Niall is about to stop the bus. If you leave you may never see him again. But like I said before...The choice is yours. Choose wisely or you'll regret it later on..." Then he walks away. I get up from the bed knowing what I must do. I rush towards the front of the bus. I sneak up behind Niall and grab him around the neck. Then I whisper in his ear. "Please don't make me leave Niall. I want to go on tour with you. I absolutely do. K.C. and Katherine were right. It is a wonderful Idea." He turns to look at me then smiles. He whirls me around to face him then grabs my hand and we walk back towards the lounge area next to the bunks. I smile as he sits on the red velvet loveseat positioned in front of a flat screen. He pats the empty space next to him and I slink over to the couch and flop down next to him. I sit up straight and I must have looked like I wasn't having fun. Cuz of course Niall did that cheesey, Yawn, Stretch, arm over my shoulder routine. I didn't let him see me roll my eyes as I nuzzled my head into his chest. I thought about what Harry said to me. 'Melody. Give it a chance.' Give it a chance. Give it a chance. Suddenly something clicked inside my head. I didnt know what it was exactly. All I knew is that I couldn't let anything ruin my mood. Until Niall said what he said next. "Melody. I know I've only met you. But I just can't help but think that...Well...That I've fallen for you. I hope you feel the same way about me. If you don't thats fine too. Just please don't lead me on if you don't feel that way." He looks down at me and smiles. I turn towards him and smile too. Half out of fear and have out of being so absolutely lost in his eyes. "Melody? Do you believe in love at first sight?" He smiles again but this time I look away. Then I have the guts to say the most stupidest thing I've ever said in my entire life. "Niall...There's no such thing..."
