I Want.

I just picked up my bags, and started looking around, for a familiar face. My eyes skimmed around the airport, until they found an old friend. His bright blue eyes could not be missed, as they met with mine. His lips turned up into a wide smile, while has waves over to me.

Hey love!" Niall yelled, running over to me. "I've missed you so much." His voice was music to my ears, I couldn’t get sick of that accent, even if I wanted to.

"I've missed you to." I responded, squeezing him back.

"So, how have the states been treating you?" Niall asked, taking my bags out of my grip.

"It was nice there, but I've missed home."

"Nah, I think you just missed me." Niall smiled, as we walked out of the airport.

"Hmm, maybe a tad a bit." I teased.

"Well, I sure did miss you enough, for the both of us."

"You don't have to miss me anymore, because I'm here now! So, let's be happy." I announced, as we approached his car.

"The guys are going to me thrilled to see you." Niall said, opening my door.

"I've missed those trouble makers." I laughed, buckling my seatbelt. Niall started the car, and began to pull out of the parking lot.

"What's new with you Niall? Catch me up, with all the excitement that you have going on."

"You know, touring, recording, meeting fans, eating." Niall laughed, glancing over at me.

"Same old, same old... Didn't I hear a certain blonde has a girlfriend?" I questioned.

Niall gulped, and tightening his grip on the wheel. "Um, yes... Her name is Missy. We've only been going out for about a month and a half."

"Awe, I can't wait to meet her." I grinned, leaning my head against the window. I was taking in the beautiful UK scenery that I missed, so much.

"Cara, love!" Harry shouted, jumping up off the couch. He ran over to me, hugging the life out of me.

“Ugh,” I groaned. “Hello to you to Harry”

“It’s been forever, how are you?” He asked, stepping back, so he could look at my face.

“I’ve been well.” I nodded.

“But you missed me, right?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at me. “Who am I kidding, of course you did!” He yelled, jumping up and down.

“Aye, why don’t you step back, and let Cara breathe” Niall chimed in, putting his arm around my shoulder.

Harry rolled his eyes, and sat back down on the couch.

“Hugs?” Liam asked, sweetly.

“Of course!” I accepted, reaching my arms out to him.

After we all hugged it out, and got caught up, Niall said, “Ill go put your bags in your room.” He picked up my bags, and started for the stairs.

Once he was out of sight, Louis announced, "We Uh, need to talk to you, Cara."

"What about?"

"Niall's girlfriend." Zayn chimed in.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked, sitting down next to Liam.

"Well-" Liam started, but was interrupted by Harry. "We hate her!"

My eyebrows pulled together, in confusion. "Why?"

"She is terrible." Harry stressed.

"We don't think she really cares about Niall." Liam went on. "We think she is only with him for the spotlight, and his money."

"That's horrible." I gasped.

"We know." Zayn agreed.

"Have you said anything to Niall?" I questioned, concerned.

"No, he seems to be pretty fond of her. We thought maybe... You could talk to him." Louis said, smiling big at the end, trying to convince me.

"What, me?" I shouted "Are you all nuts?"

"Well, you're his best friend, and he trusts your opinion." Liam stated, folding his hands, on his lap.

"I never even met her."

"You will tonight, she's coming to your welcome home party." Liam added.

"Great." I sighed.

I went up to my room, and laid down on the bed. I was so confused. I had no clue on what to do. If Niall really likes her, how could I tell him? I don't want to hurt him. Maybe the guys are over reacting… Bu then again, if Niall saw the real her, he would break up with her. Of course that would just be used for my own evil agenda. I may have came across of some feelings for Niall. But I wasn’t going to let those ruin our friendship. I soon drifted off to sleep, with these thoughts still swirling around my mind.

***

I made my way around the room, catching up with old friends. I finally got a chance to catch my breath, so I hung out near the kitchen, with Harry and Liam. We watched as Niall talked to a girl with long brown hair, she seemed bored, and uninterested in the conversation.

"Cara," Niall called over to me. "Come here."

I turned to the guys and asked, "Are you 100% sure she is terrible?”

"She is the worst, I swear." Harry assured me.

I nodded, taking a deep breath, and began the walk over to Niall and his girlfriend.

"Cara, I want you to meet my g-girlfriend." Niall said, looking from me to her. "This is Missy."

"Hi, it's so nice to meet you." I smiled, reaching out my hand.

She peered at my hand, but refused to shake it. "Yeah, you to." She said, flatly.

Niall looked a bit uncomfortable. I glanced over to Louis; he was shaking his head, and grinning. I gave him a defeated smile, and he started heading my way.

"Hey guys," Louis greeted. "How is everything going?"

"Great." I replied to Louis, sarcastically.

Missy turned to Niall, and batted her eyelashes. "Babe, this is massively boring. Can I go?"

Louis lifted his eyebrows, and looked over at Niall.

"But it's Cara's welcome home party." Niall told her, trying to smile.

"I don't care." She gawked.

Niall looked up at me, expressionless, while I dropped my gaze to the floor.

"If you want to go, you can." Niall whispered to Missy, giving in.

"I'm going to go out with the girls, could I borrow some money?" She asked, shifting her weight.

Niall nodded, pulling out his wallet, from his back pocket. He grabbed some cash, and handed it over to her. Missy quickly counted it, and smiled. "Thanks babe." She said, and then kissed his cheek. She turned in her heels, and skipped out of the party.

It was silent between the three of us, for a moment. "Um, Cara, Zayn had that thing he needed to talk to you about." Louis said, sticking his hands in his pockets, and balancing on his heels.

I caught on, and responded with, "Right, Niall I'll be back in a minute."

"Alright, I'll be here." Niall smiled, awkwardly.

I walked over to Zayn, and Harry, with Louis. "You're right," I admitted. "She is horrible."

"See, so are you going to talk to Niall?" Zayn questioned.

"Yeah, I love Niall. He deserves so much better." I stated, shaking my head disapprovingly.

"I agree." Harry piped up.

“I’m going to go talk to him.” I announced, walking away from the group of guys.

I found Niall, sitting alone on the couch, with a beer in his hand.

"There you are!" I shouted, taking a seat next to him. "I wanted to talk to you.”

“Really, what about?” He said, with a small smirk.

“Um… About, r-relationships.” I stuttered, nervously.

“Oh, okay.” He replied, sounding a bit shocked. “You know, I’ve been needing to tell you something, too.”

“Do you want to go first?” I asked him.

“Um, no. You can go, I think I’m just going to wait.” Niall mumbled, looking at the bottle in his hands.

“Okay, but you can tell me anything, anytime.” I reminded him. “But what I have to say is about Missy… I think she is using you. She doesn’t act like she truly cares about you; it seems all she cares about is your money. I’m sorry, but I’m not the only one who thinks that.”
