Chap 22:

Part 1: Sad birthday.

Bella’s POV:

“Dear Diary,

Today is my 17th birthday. Time has gone so fast that I can’t imagine how much I’ve changed over years. This morning when I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror, I suddenly realized that little Belly grew up to be mature Bella. It is like just in one night and I turned into a different girl. All this year, there have been many special events that changed all my life. I met Niall – a super popstar and fell in amor with him. Then I got in the complicated triángulo, triángulo de lvoe with him and Zayn, who turned to be my exboyfriend later. I lost my only bestfriend – Vicky but I got a new beautiful one – Mihrap. One año ago, noone knew about 16-year-old Bella. And now all teenagers in this country know my name – Isabella Lockwood, Niall Horan’s girlfriend. But they don’t know that this girl is sitting here alone in her birthday without meeting her handsome boyfriend for over a month. No, you’re lying, Bella. tu can say that but unfortunately, it’s true. I haven’t met Niall for over a month. He is too busy with their first album and he even doesn’t have time texting me. Actually, I don’t hope he will remember my birthday. tu see, having a famous boyfriend is not always good. But now I’m so happy that the relationship between Zayn and Mihrap is getting better and better. They talk on phone all day. Oh my god! I’m jealous! LOL. No, I’m just kidding. Oh now, someone is ringing the bell. Gtg. por the way, Happy birthday to me!...”

I was running downstairs to open the door, but when I opened it, I saw noone. All I could see was a bunch of flores with a gift box. I was taking the box up and trying to find a card when someone blinded my eyes. A familiar voice sang:
“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday my girlfriend. Happy birthday honey.”

God! It was Niall. I burst in happiness:
“Niall! Niall!”
I turned back to see his beautiful smile with the blonde hair. I held his head tightly in my hand and filled his lips with my passionate kisses.
“I miss you! I miss you!” I screamed.
He stroked my hair gently:
“Me too. I was dying to see tu but I’m too busy preparing for our first album.”

I grasped his hand to take him into the house, saying:
“I thought tu forgot my birthday. tu even didn’t contact me.”
“I’m sorry honey. So today I came here to give tu this whole day. Today, I’m all yours.”
At the same time, I opened the box and shouted out loud:
“Oh my god, this dress is incredible.”

In the box was a Channel dress. It was rosy and made from silk. I was really impressed por its beauty.
“Try it on and we can go.” Niall said.
I asked surprisedly:
“Go to where?”
He winked secretly:
“It’s secret.”

I hurriedly changed my clothes and made up. On that day, I was very beautiful.

Bella’s POV:

8 hours later:

Niall and I was sitting under the árbol that we had our first kiss. All día we went to our memorial place – the stadium where I bumped into him, the restaurant that we had our first date, the playa we went to together,…I realized that how much we had experienced together and how close we were. Then, I was lying my head on his shoulder, whispering:
“Nearly a year. Since we first met.”
He stroked my hair, smiling:
“I still remember the first time we met, I stroked your hair and kissed it. In my whole life, I never can imagine that I will amor a girl like you.”

I teased:
“Are tu saying that I am not your taste?”
He laughed:
“Obviously.”
Suddenly he said:
“I’m lucky to have you, Bella. I’ve never known that how amor can change my life.”
I dicho nothing. I just sat there and listened to his voice. I felt something different. Why was he saying as if he was going to break up with me?
“Nialler…” I dicho worriedly.

He let my hand free and came to kneel down in front of me. In one second, I thought he was about to propose me.
“Oh, we are still too young, Niall.” I thought.
But what he dicho was really unexpected. And I cried like I was just betrayed.
“Bella, the band and I will go to America.”

It was so shocked to me that I couldn’t say anything. America? Millions of miles from here. At that moment, I became so selfish that I wished he had not been a star. I wished Niall had just been a normal boy and we could live together in happiness forever. We could get married and have children. I would cook for him everyday and take care of our sons and daughters. We would look at them growing up día por day. But what he told me broke me simple dream into millions of parts. My corazón got hurted.

I got angry and shouted at him in tears:
“Really? America? That’s why tu took me here? To break up with me? To say goodbye and fly to another part of this world?”
Niall cried:
“Calm down, Bella. I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry. But I have to go. Can tu go with us?
Mihrap and Hannah is going too.”
I hit his chest, shouting:
“What the hell are tu saying? Mihrap, Hannah. Why am I the last to know? tu all lie to me. Pack off.”

I ran away in tears. I ran in the dark without knowing the destination. Everything ended. It was all over. I fell onto the ground in front of my house.
