Listen to: Never Let me Go- Florence and the machine
Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.
Niall's POV
It was stupid of me to say such a thing to her. From the way she's reacting right now, she's probably stricken by my words. I keep on looking into her eyes; looking for any sign of regrets. But her eyes are empty, they're void of any light in them. It breaks my heart to get this reaction from her.
Wanting to hear something, I lift her head up by her jaw and say to her "Claire, please say something." This silence is killing me, I want to add. But I can't.
She still doesn't answer me. Her eyes are roaming everywhere, except my eyes. She opens her mouth slightly; as if about to speak. But closes it almost immediately.
Claire leans her head into my palm that still rests on her jaw and I am more than glad. It means she's not mad at me; she only needs time to process it.
