The last chapter sucked...I know. BUT We are coming close to the end! :O 4 more chapters till the sequel! GAG!

"..." Everyone was speechless when we heard her say it.

"WHAT?! THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY--" Christa began screaming but Liam covered her mouth.

"I...I just can't sing this, or do this." Mary whispered.

"Why not babe?" I said.

"Because...I-I just can't okay...?" she said running away. Everyone looked at me.

"What?!" I said.

"You're dating her! WE MIGHT LOSE OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL BUDGET!" Jason said grabbing the hem of my shirt.

"Alright RELAX!" I groaned. I would've talked to Mary anyway...

~~~

"Babe?" I said knocking on her door. To my surprise Mr. Ryans opened the door.

SHIT.

"Hi..." I said nervously, "Um, Mary kinda ran away at school, I just wanted to know where she'd be, or if she's here--"

"I've been told not to talk," he said. Suddenly he leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "But, I will tell you that she's not here."

"Thank you..." I whispered, "Oh I hope she's okay..."

Mary's dad looked at me for a second and leaned back smiling.

"You're a good boy Niall..." he said about to close the door, "I'm trusting you with my life..."

I nodded at him and smiled. I guess I've earned his trust....finally!

~~~

"Mary?!" I said as I walked in the cold London streets. Where the hell could she have run off to?

"Hey you!" a man was motioning for me to come over.

"Yeah...?" I said keeping my guard. Who knew what this guy was up to...

"I saw a girl in there mumbling to herself, her name seems to be Mary." he said puffing smoke from his pipe. I looked over to where he was pointing and saw a movie theater.

"Um...thanks." I said with a small smile.

"Now stop your yelling! I'm busy!" he said slightly shoving me. God people in London are so rude sometimes...

I opened up the doors letting the popcorn scented air fly through the door. I sighed and went up to the counter.

"Hi...did you see a girl run in here?" I asked.

"Sir, it's date night. There are millions of girls here! Be a bit more specific?!" the ticket salesman grumbled. Rude...

"Okay god, she's short, brown curly hair, is probably wearing a beanie and a three-leaf clover necklace?" I said.

"I saw the beanie, and yes I saw the girl. But she wasn't wearing a necklace." he said. No necklace. I patted my vest pockets and realized that I never gave her back the necklace after she got kidnapped.

"Thank you..." I said. I opened every door and many couples yelled at me for letting the light shine in the theater. I ignored their complaints and kept searching for Mary. I was about to give up, until I found theater 22.

Zero Dark Thirty?

This was the only movie theater left, so I opened the door and walked in. There were only two or three people in the front, and no one was there except for a small shadow in the back of the room.

There's my girl...

I made my way to the back of the theater and sat down in a chair.

"Hi, but may I ask, why are you watching a movie on date night, without a date?" I said poking Mary.

"Niall, stop. Just leave me alone..." Mary said.

"Aw you know I can't Mary," I said sitting in the chair next to hers and pulling her in my embrace, "Why'd you run off?"

"It's nothing..." she whispered pulling her hat farther down her head.

"I'll wait all night if I have to." I said sitting back in my seat. Mary grumbled at my stubbornness and pulled her knees up in the seat. I smirked and began to watch my favorite movie, again.

~Three Hours Later!~

Ha! I told her I'd wait-- aw shit she's sleeping! GREAT!

"Hey man," a guy said, "You gotta pick up your girlfriend...wait Niall?" I turned around and found myself face to face with Zayn.

"Hey.." I said.

"Mary?" Zayn said pointing.

"Yep, she ran away here, and I came to get her. Then she fell asleep."

"Did she run because she had to sing?" Zayn asked.

"Whoa? How do you know?" I asked.

"I go to South High..." Zayn said, "I'm the male performer..."

"You sing?" I said astonished.

"That, will be verified tomorrow." Zayn said, "Look I gotta go, take care of her..."

"Alright..." I whispered.

~~~

"Niall?" I heard Mary from under my jacket.

"Oh my GOD WHERE AM I?!" I heard her scream and I quickly pulled her head out of my jacket.

"Oh...oops..." she muttered. Then she stopped rustling in my grasp and looked over to her right.

"What...?" I asked looking. She seemed to be looking at a cupcake store.

"My sister and I used to go there every day..." I heard her whisper.

"Really hm?" I said looking over.

"She loved it so much because it had her name in it." she continued. I read the sign.

Kayla's Cupcakes...

"Wanna get a snack?" I offered, "I'll pay."

"Niall you don't--" Mary started but I stopped her.

"You just paid for a movie you already saw. I'm your boyfriend. Let me do my job." I said setting her down. We both smiled and walked into the cupcake shop.

"Why...Mary?!" the woman asked shocked.

"Hi Annie!" Mary said running up to her and giving her a hug. I just stood in the back and slipped my hands in my pockets letting them catch up.

"Well forget about me!" Annie said, "How are you doing?! And who is this boy?! I thought you promised me in your 9th year that you'd stay single for me!"

"Oh be quiet." Mary giggled. She sprinted over to me while I was at the back table and pulled me up.

"This is Niall, my boyfriend. He moved from Ireland." Mary said introducing me. I reached over to shake her hand and she took it happily.

"Oh wow, are people in Ireland always this polite?!" Annie said laughing, "Most of the teenagers here come in, eat cupcakes, and leave!"

"Well, he's different." Mary said looking up at me. I smiled back down at her and kissed her nose.

"Oh you two are just adorable!" she said, "Here, two chocolate fudge cupcakes on the house!" she said handing two cupcakes to us.

"Oh, let me pay, I can't take this--" I started.

"No sweetie it's okay!" Annie assured me, "Now eat it! You're a growing boy! You need energy!"

~~~

After spending two hours at the cupcake shop, Mary and I walked back to her house full and happy.She said I could stay at her house, so I had picked up clothes and ran over.

Now, we were in bed.

"Hey...do you remember this...?" I whispered.

"What...?" Mary asked.

"This was like the first night we slept...just like this." I whispered.

"And you sang to me..." Mary said smiling.

"Mary...why did you run away?" I finally asked.

"...I was...I am, scared. I mean, the PPC's are TOMORROW, and so is homecoming, and--"

"Hey, homecoming? That never mattered to us, did it?" I said looking down at her. Even though it was dark, I could tell she agreed.

"Right, but again the PPC's--" Mary started again. I covered her mouth.

"Hey, you got picked to do this because you sound good. Okay?" I said uncovering her mouth, "And so did Liam. He's nervous too." I said, "So, it'll be alright. You'll do absolutely fine love."

"....sing to me...?" I heard her mumble.

"Sure...what song--" I stopped and noticed what she wanted me to sing. She grabbed the end of my wrist and I smiled.

Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street

That the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels

The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

But I don't know how

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall...

I fell asleep instantly after that. My mind was too cluttered to stay awake.

Tomorrow might change everything...

 HOLA! So, I posted the outfits! :) BUT, if they're not visible on the Wattpad box, then I have the same picture in an external link! :) And Heart Attack by Demi Lovato is there instead of Can't Be tamed because, well I wanted that instead! I LOVE THAT SONG! And it's a really good performance type song. So, super excited for the next three chapters!

Not writing often anymore FYI, my parents are monitoring my computer time -.- I mean for real? Get some friends and get drunk and LEAVE ME ALONE.

Lol...
