"Morning Jenny." Niall grinned, nudging me awake. I opened my eyes to see him sitting next to me in the bed smiling. 

"Have you been awake long?" I asked Niall, stretching my hands above my head. 

"Well, I booked my tickets." He told me and I suddenly woke up. 

"When?" I asked.

"Later on today." He pursed his lips. I sat up and whined, hugging him. 

"No, I don't want you to go." I shook my head as he rubbed my bare back. 

"I don't want to go either, but I have to get back on tour sweetie." He sighed. 

"I'm gonna miss you so much." I whimpered. 

"But think, tomorrow you'll be in college." He cupped my cheek in his hand and kissed me gently. 

"Gimme your sweater." I said, pointing to Niall's grey sweater he had on yesterday. He picked it up and handed me it and I put it on, considering I had nothing on my top half from last night. 

"I'm keeping this." I announced and he chuckled. 

"It's yours." He smiled at me, kissing my forehead as I pulled the sleeves over my knuckles. I like the feel of this sweater and I know it's one of his favourites because he wears it a lot and there's not much clothes Niall has that he wears more than once. 

"You wear this a lot don't you?" I asked him looking at it. 

"You said one day you liked it so I wore it more and yeah, it's comfy too." He said. "But you can have it if it makes you more comfortable." 

"Yeah, it's mine." I giggled. "I must own like half your wardrobe now." I smiled. 

"What do you mean?" He asked. 

"Look." I said and went over to my drawers, opening on and taking out Niall's Nike grey tracksuit bottoms and hoodie and one of his t-shirts.

"Oh my God, that's where they were, I left them here, didn't I?" He asked and I nodded. 

"Yeah, I meant to give them back but it was ages ago when we were here last and I forgot." I chuckled. 

"Oh well." He shrugged. 

"Yeah, you're not getting them back." i giggled and shut the drawer. He didn't seem too bothered. I just want them so when I miss him now I can snuggle up in his clothes. 

"Do you have to go?" I asked, climbing on his lap. 

"I do yeah." He sighed, running his fingers through my hair gently. "But I'll be home before Christmas." He tried to sound enthusiastic. 

"I'm gonna miss you so much." I wrapped my arms around his neck. 

"I know, it's gonna be so weird going without you, you've been on tour with us since this one started." He looked into my eyes with his glassy ones. He stroked my cheek with thumb gently. "Well, I'll go make us breakfast and then you'll come with me won't you? We need to go so I can be there in time." He said and I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat, which was exacerbating by the minute. 

"Come on then." I smiled and we made our way downstairs. Niall cooked breakfast for us. He made us pancakes. 

"Chef Horan's best." He placed a plate in front of me and I giggled. 

"Aren't you the best boyfriend?" I asked him as he sat down. He nodded, sprinkling sugar on his pancakes. When we finished breakfast I sighed and helped him get his things together. 

"I don't want you to go." I quietly said, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "And I'm really nervous for college tomorrow." 

"I'll wake up early tomorrow morning for you and we'll FaceTime before college, yeah?" He asked me. 

"But Niall, you'll have to get up at like two in the morning or maybe earlier." I said. 

"Then I'll just not go to sleep." He chuckled. 

"I love you so much." I hugged him tight. 

"Yeah, we'll be fine." He rubbed my back. "And you're gonna love college so much and then when you finish college you'll hopefully be living with me and every morning I will make you pancakes before you go off to your job as a lawyer, yeah?" He asked me. 

"Will we still be together in four years?" I chuckled. 

"Hopefully, yes." He kissed my forehead. "Come on, we better get going." He grabbed his car keys. 

"How will I get home?" I asked him as we got into his car. 

"Don't worry about that." He turned the key and started driving. I shrugged it off and he drove us to the airport. I carried one of his bags for him as we made our way to check in. They weighed his luggage and put it through the - I don't even know what it's called but they took his luggage away anyways. 

"Niall." I said when I knew this was where we had to say goodbye. 

"Jenny." He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. There were people watching us because obviously they knew who Niall was.

"Niall, please don't go." I started to cry. 

"Please don't cry, I'll end up crying." He sighed, pulling back and looking into my eyes with his watery ones. "It's not goodbye forever darlin' remember?" He placed his warm hand up the back of my top on my back. 

I nodded trying to hold my tears in. "I love you so much Niall." I said. 

"I love you more." He kissed me. His soft lips pressed against mine and I decided to enjoy this as much as I could because I don't know when I can next kiss him. 

I placed one of my hands on the nape of his neck and whimpered against his lips. He licked my bottom lip asking for entrance, which I granted. We made out for a few minutes until Niall ended it from being out of breath. 

"I guess you better go." I bit my lip, hard enough to turn it white. He nodded and sighed, digging into his pocket and taking out his car keys. 

"Will you do me a favour?" He asked me. 

"Yeah, anything. What is it?" I asked. 

"While I'm gone, I want you to take care of my car for me, yeah?" He asked, taking my hand and pressing his keys into the palm of my hand. 

"No Niall." I shook my head, our hands still intertwined. "Niall, I couldn't." 

"You can. Come on, you need a way to get to college and back, I don't want you walking or taking a bus or relying on your mother." He said. "Please, so I know you're okay." He looked into my eyes pleadingly. 

"Niall, I don't know if I can." I sighed. 

"You can, there's a key to my house on that too, like I promised you." He said. "Come on, do this for me. I want to know you're okay while I'm away. I don't want to be worrying that you're unhappy or struggling." He said. 

"I love you so much." I threw myself into his arms. 

"I love you too darlin'." I knew he was crying now too, the way his voice was cracking as he spoke. Oh how I am going to miss hearing him calling me darling in his Irish accent from now on. 

He stepped back from the hug and surely enough, a tear rolled down his cheek. "I better go." He adjusted the bag he had on his shoulder. 

"I don't want you to go." I shook my head, tears dripping down my cheeks. 

"I have to, I'm sorry." He looked down at his feet. "I love you so much and I'll phone you all the time, yeah?" He asks. I nod. 

"One more hug?" I asked. He smiled and came over, giving me a lung crushing hug, but I didn't care, all that mattered was that I was in Niall's arms. I didn't want to end the hug, but I had to because he was going to be late for his flight. 

"Take care of my car." He chuckled and kissed my forehead. 

"I will." I smiled. "Thank you so much for everything." I said. 

"No, thank you." He gave my hand a squeeze, letting it go but he wrapped his pinky around mine and smiled down at them. He didn't even need to say anything, I knew what he meant. 

"I'd best be going." He sighed and gave me one last kiss on the cheek. 

I watched him walk away, almost motionless because I knew this was it, that was him gone now and I have no idea when I'll see him again. He was going up an escalator. When he got to the top he stopped and looked down at me. 

He blew me a kiss and I blew one back. He was crying and so was I. He waved and I mirrored it. 

He mouthed I love you, so did I. 

Then he walked off and I was left on my own. I wiped my eyes and sighed, turning to walk back out of the airport. 

Alone though, without Niall. 

I miss him already. 

___________________

I woke up extra early the next morning to get ready for college. My first class was family law. I'm so excited!!

I quickly got ready and soon, Niall was FaceTiming me. 

I have missed him so much already. I didn't sleep last night without him and I even had his sweater on. 

"Baby." He smiled. He was lying in his bunk and he looked half asleep. 

"Niall, I missed you so much!" I exclaimed. 

"Me too." He agreed. It's so nice to hear his voice again. 

"You look so tired Ni." 

"I haven't slept since I left London." He told me. Holy fuck, that's a long time without sleep. 

"What?" I asked and he nodded. 

"Are ya nervous?" He was trying to keep his eyes open. I nodded and he chuckled. "Don't be, you'll be grand and it will be amazing." He lay his head on the pillow. I wish I was there with him. 

"Niall, maybe you should go to sleep." I suggested. 

"No, no," He shook his head. "m'fine." His eyes were drooping closed. "Miss you." He said, opening his eyes partially again. 

"I miss you too." I sighed. "I guess I better let you go, you seem wrecked." 

"No, don't go." He ends his sentence with a yawn. "How's me car?"

"You car is fine so far." I giggle. "Thank you."

"Yeah, you're welcome, love you lots darlin'." His eyes are closed again. "Love you l..." And with that he falls asleep. I watch him for a few minutes. Taking in his features as he sleep. 

I watch the way his mouth droops open and soft snores come out of it. I watch the way his fingers twitch and I watch the way his chest rises up and down. He's perfect and I love him. 

"I love you Ni." I whisper and end the call. I watch until he disappears and even minutes after that, I'm still watching the now blank, dismissive screen. 

I sigh and decide to grab my bag, making sure I have everything in it that I will need. 

I'm kind of excited, but at the same time, there are untamed butterflies in my stomach. I just hope they go away. 

I looked in the mirror and liked my reflection. I was wearing a floral skirt, with a white top and white fluffy cardigan, along with a scarf, some tights and those boots Niall once bought me. 

I went down to the kitchen and grabbed an apple, then making my way to Niall's car to drive to college. It felt so weird driving his car, but I have to say, I liked it.

I took the short drive, singing along to the Ed Cd, which happened to be mine that was playing in the car. I was nervous but for the duration I was singing 'Nina' I had no thoughts of college consuming my mind. 

I arrive when it's coming onto nine, my first lecture isn't until a quarter past so that gives me time to go up to the head's office to get my timetable. I nervously knock on his door. A few minutes later the door opens and quite a tall, but jolly looking man answers. 

"Can I help you?" He asks, sounding a little irritated. It unnerved me a little but I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. I always get so nervous when I'm on my own in front of new people and I don't think it will get any better. 

"I'm Jenny Johnson, Niall-" 

"Ah Jenny." He grinned and put his arm around my shoulder, leading me into his office. "I'm glad you'll be joining us, come take a seat." Hè lead me into his office. 

"I'm glad to be here." I smile, taking a seat in front of his desk. The chair creaks as I sit down and I go a little red in the face. He chuckles a little as he looks through a folder. 

"Here's your timetable." He handed me a piece of paper. "First you have... writing skills." He peered at the sheet. 

"I didn't know I needed writing skills." I admitted. 

"Ah, every lawyer must know how to write a contract and a letter and the like." He explained. 

"Never though of that." I chuckled. 

"I'm sure you'll do great here and you'll become a great lawyer." He grinned. "Here's a map of the place just incase you get lost or something." He said and handed me a folded sheet of paper. "Do you know where you're going now?" He asked. 

"No." I laughed. He took the map and unfolded it and pointed to where I had to go and explained where to go from here. "Thank you." I smiled. 

"I know you'll be a star pupil, you'll have to catch up on what you missed though, so just as your lecturer's and I bet they'll help you out." He smiled. 

"Thank you again." I chuckled. 

"You're dating the right boy too." He stood up and patted me on the back. 

"I know, he's great, he ever got me in here."

"Yes, don't be telling anyone that, we wouldn't want people to think I am picking favourites." He winked at me. "Just wanted to do Niall a favour, he's a good lad." 

"Yeah, he really is." I sighed, feeling a pang in my heart as we spoke about him. 

"I better let you get going to class, if you ever need anything you know where I am and I'll be glad to help." He escorted me to the door. 

"Thanks." 

"Good luck on your first day." He patted me on the back before I left the office. I peered at the map and took the route he had prior instructed and I got to the class. 

It was then I realised I was late to the lecture and I happened to be the last one in. When I opened the door all eyes turned to me, including the lecturer, and that was a lot of eyes. I felt a blush creep up my cheeks and as I went to find a seat all I could hear were the hushes whispers. I could hear my name, they obviously knew who I was. 

I sat down next to a boy, seeing as it was the only empty seat. He was tall looking, had brown hair and blue eyes that were literally in your face. Probably one of those asshole's every girl is after.. 

"You Jenny Johnson?" He asked me and I nodded. 

"Yeah, why?" I asked and he snickered. 

"Ha, pathetic." He rolled his eyes. 

"How am I pathetic?" I asked. He just gave me a menacing smirk and turned his attention back to the board. Slouching in his seat and snickering. Throughout the lecture I later found out that this boy, was in fact, an asshole and his name was Jack. 

All he done throughout the lecture was throw pieces of paper around and kick the boy's seat in front of him. Very childish like behaviour. 

"What are you making faces at me for?" He asked me. 

"I'm not making faces at you." I gave him a confused look. 

"You totally are, you're giving me dirty looks as though you're better than me." 

"Well, at least I'm not throwing paper around the room." I rolled my eyes. 

"Least I wasn't hired." He snapped and a few other girls who happened to be listening started to snicker. I felt my hands begin to tremble when he said that. 

"I wasn't hired." I defend, gripping the pen in my hand tighter. 

"Course you were." Another girl added in. "We all know about you and Niall." She giggled. 

"That was rumours, from a jealous friend, Niall and I are dating." I calmly said. 

"Niall and I are dating." Jack mimicked in an overly pitched girly voice which was clearly uncalled for. 

"Shush over there." The lecturer said to us. I sighed, getting in trouble on my first day of college was not something I counted on. 

"Yes Jenny shut up." Jack said to me and of course, all the girls giggled. I rolled my eyes and went back to taking notes. I stared intently at the clock, just waiting for it to strike eleven thirty so I could get out of here and to my next class where hopefully, Jack wouldn't be. 

Much to my satisfaction she dismissed us five minutes early so I left and went to get a drink from the cafeteria. I got a bottle of water and made my way to the next class which was international law. 

I took my seat, only a few other people were there. I took out my phone and checked my messages. I had one from Niall already. 

'Morning babe, up too early, getting ready for the album :( How's college? Miss you lots xx' 

'Aren't you wrecked babe? And so far it's alright I guess, but it's the first day so it's hard to know :)' 

'I'll be alright ! Love you lots darling xx' 

'Love you more Ni xx' Just as I sent the text I had a companion by my side. Or more like, an irritating fucktart and I only know him for two hours. 

"Hey class Buddy." Jack grinned just as a text from Niall came through. "Oh, who are we texting?" He asked. 

"Nobody." I hid my phone from him. 

"Aw, come on, show me." He said, taking my phone from my hands. 

"Give me that back!" I yelled. 

"Look at the prissy with an iPhone six." Jack said and a few girls of course, giggled. "Aww, she's texting Niall." He cooed. "Miss you so much Jen xx can't wait to see you again." He read out. 

"Give me that back." I grabbed it and pulled it away just as the lecturer came in. I glared at him and he chuckled. 

"Bet you were texting yourself." He ended his sentence with a fake cough. 

"Fuck off." I snapped. 

"Ohhhh, getting angry." He nudged me and I glared at him. Ugh! He is such a bastard. 

I just completely shut him out and listened but considering I had already missed a week and a bit of this class I was totally lost. I had no idea what was going on and no idea what they were talking about. 

She set everyone to do work in one of their books and she came down to me. "Hi Jenny, isn't it?" She asked, trying to talk as quietly as possible. I nodded and smiled. "You've missed quite a bit in here, so I want you to do the homework and research you've already missed out on and the notes and have it in to me for Friday." She told me. 

"Where will I get it?" I asked. 

"Have you any friends?" 

"I'm her friend." Jack piped in with a smile. 

"No, you're not." 

"I'll help her catch up." He grinned. 

"Thank you Jack, you're not all bad." She chuckled and stood up. "I'll see you on Friday then." She smiled at me. I glared at Jack once she had gone. 

"I'll help you." He smiled. I sighed and turned my attention back to the lecturer who was talking again. Once that class was over it was lunch time. So I went and got a bite to eat. It was quite a nice meal. 

 Once I was done I took a walk around the place. I felt quite lonely, but I'm sure I will make friends. I took a seat at one of the benches outside. I wasn't there two minutes before I had company. 

"Hey Jen." Jack nudged me, sliding in next to me on the bench. 

"Don't call me that." I said, scrolling through my twitter feed, not even looking up at him. 

"Come on, here, take out your copy and I'll show you what to do." Jack said. 

"Really?" I asked, pressing the lock button on my phone. 

"Yes, take it out." He said and I took it out. He wrote down a few things in my book and handed it back to me. I had to research five different things and write an essay about each. I also had to write out notes from a book, I have yet to purchase. And lastly I had to do some writing on some topic. 

"I have to do all of that?" I raised an eyebrow and he nodded. 

"Great." I sighed. I checked the time. "Shit, I better get back to class." I said, gathering my things. 

"Wait for me, I'll come." He sprinted after me. 

"Ugh." I groaned but waited on him seeing as I was on my own anyways. If I have to deal with him every day for the next four years, it's going to be a long four years. 

I don't even know him but I already hate him. 

___________________

"How was your first day of college?" Joanna asked me, running into my room. 

"Alright." I chuckled, patted the vacant space next to me on the bed, indicating for her to take a seat. 

"What's it like?" She asked. 

"School is better Joanna, appreciate it while you can." I patted her on the back. 

"Missing Niall?" She asked and I nodded. 

"Lots." I sighed. I had been messaging him earlier in the day but then he was busy so he had to go. 

"It sucks that Niall is gone but at least you get his car." She nudged me with a giggle. 

"Yeah, well, he is the best." I grin. "I love him so much."

"Ohhh, you love him?" She nudged me and I nodded with a vague smile. 

"I do a lot Joanna." I smiled at her. "Have you a boyfriend?" I asked, leaning on my elbow and smiling at her. 

"Not yet, I am completely fine flying it solo." She chuckled. 

"Good girl." I laughed. "You don't need one yet." I played with her hair. 

"Will you do my hair and makeup like you used to do when I was younger?" She excitedly asked me. 

"But you're better at it than me." I twirled a strand of her blonde hair. 

"It's still fun." She grinned. 

"Right, go get your makeup." I smiled and she ran off like a little kid. 

__________________

After I done Joanna's hair and makeup like she wanted I decided to go to bed early. I opened the drawer and got out Niall's sweater, slipping it on. 

I got into bed but the bed felt too big and lonely. 

I kept rolling over thinking I was going to hit Niall. But I didn't. 

It's so strange lying in bed without him. I just wish he was here with me. 

I wonder what he's thinking right now, I wonder if he's thinking about me. 

Knowing Niall, I bet he's thinking about football and beer.
