The airplane finally lands in England and you're exhausted from your long flight, but extremely excited to be spending Christmas with your boyfriend Niall, his bandmates, their girlfriends, and your best friend in the world Perrie Edwards. Perrie was also the one picking you up from the airport tonight.
You spend the night at Perrie and Zayn's flat helping them finish decorate for Christmas and catching up, not only with them but on your sleep.
The next morning you shower, get dressed, and eat before you and Perrie head off to Ireland to reunite you with Niall. You were so excited to surprise him and see his bright, shining face again. Once you reached Niall's flat Perrie waited outside while you quietly made your way inside. You wanted to wake him up, yourself so you could see his reaction.
You open the bedroom door and see clothes had been tossed all over the place. The dress, high heel shoes, bra, and thong are what really caught your eye. You look up at the bed to see Niall cuddling with some girl, kissing, and smilng... just the way he did when you made love to him for the first time.
Niall saw you watching them and sprang up with his eyes practically popping out of his head. He stuttered trying to find the words to say, but you caught him so off guard he didn't know how to react. The girl looked at you over her shoulder and just stared. You wanted to break her neck, but not as much as Niall's.
You were shocked. You felt like your heart had been ripped out of your body and your stomach was in the tightest ball. All you could manage to do was whisper,
"You bastard..." And leave.
Niall called out your name several times, but you ignored him. You had tears streaming down your face as you left his flat. Perrie looked at you with concern, sadness, and confusion in her eyes.
"(Y/N), what's wrong??"
You couldn't speak because of the huge lump in your throat so you just shook your head at her, grabbed her wrist, and hurried to the stairs.
When you got in the car you allowed yourself to break down in the arms of your best friend and expressed your hurt, anger, and feelings of betrayal to her. She was very good at comforting you and making you feel better. By the time you reached her's and zayn's flat you had already stopped crying, but now you were just full of anger and bitterness towards Niall.
You and Perrie walk through the door as Zayn hangs up the phone and starts rubbing his forehead in frustration.
"Who was that?" asked Perrie
"I uh.. just got off the phone with Niall"
"So you know what he did?" asked Perrie
"Yeah.."
You walk up to Zayn, look into his eyes, and say,
"Whatever Niall said to you, tell me.. Please."
Zayn stared at you and slowly began to nod and said,
"Ok." under his breath.
He montioned for you to sit down on the couch so you did. Perrie sat next to you and held your hand. Zayn sat on the coffee table in front of you, leaned forward, and in a very sympathetic voice told you the whole conversation.
"Well, he called me and said that last night he went out drinking with some old friends. One of those friends was a girl he ended up taking home last night. I told him it was just a drunk mistake and you two could work it out, but he said that.... he was only a little bit tipsy....enough to know he was doing something he shouldn't. I asked him why he did it and he said that he felt a connection between them. When they got back to the flat he suddenly remembered he had you, but it had been so long since he had been with a girl he...went through with it. Then this morning you caught them in bed. He tried to call out to you, but you never even looked back."
You were crying by this point and Perrie had her arms around you with her head on your shoulder, comforting you. Zayn looked deep into your eyes, held your hand, and continued on to say,
"It took me the longest time to understand what he was saying because he was crying so hard... (Y/N), he really loves you and knows he messed up, but I told him you'd think about it and I hung up. I'm madder than hell at him and no matter what, Perrie and I have your back."
You smiled at Zayn's reassuring words and were so thankful that you had them for friends, especially now.
Later on that day all the boys, you, and their girlfriends were meeting in downtown London to go Christmas shopping and out to with each other. You were afraid Niall would be there, but Zayn had told the other boys what happened and they told Niall the evening plans had been cancelled. Everyone at this point is pissed off at Niall, who still believes he should be forgiven.
You had the most unforgetable night with everyone and even finished all your christmas shopping for the boys, Perrie, Danielle, and Eleanor. You had almost competely forgotten about Niall and all the drama.
The following day Danielle and Eleanor come over while all the boys are at the recording studio to wrap presents for the boys and all the parents. These girls are like your sisters and you enjoy every minute you have with them.
Zayn's P.O.V.
It's really tense in the studio with Niall. All of us know what he's done and none of us approve of his behavior. He is starting to catch on to how upset we all are.
"Okay what's up with all of you?" asked Niall in confusion and slight frustration.
"Well we're not exactly thrilled about your actions the other night." said Louis.
"Neither am I! I told her I was sorry and it was a mistake! Besides, it's my f*cking personal life!" Niall's voice was slowly raising as did his anger.
"Well if it's so personal then why did you tell all of us about it?! Just because we don't side with you and say you're in the right doesn't mean we don't care, Niall!!" I practically yelled at him.
Niall's body was shaking from anger and he was grinding his teeth as tears formed in his eyes. He shook his head and stormed out of the studio.
"What the hell was that??!" asked Paul overwhelmed in confusion
We explained the story to Paul who followed after Niall as soon as our story was over.
We were all so upset and frustrated we could no longer focus so we decide to just drink a beer and calm ourselves.
"So, you lads ready for Christmas tomorrow?" asked Liam trying to turn us onto a lighter subject.
We all nodded and smiled.
"Are Niall's parents coming..?" asked Louis
I looked at him and shook my head.
Louis nodded accepting my reply and said,
"Well I hate to run off but I want to get home before too late. I promised Eleanor we'd decorate a gingerbread house and watch a Christmas film or two before bed."
I looked at my watch that read 7:14PM and said,
"Yeah I need to turn in, as well. No telling what Perrie and (Y/N) have in store for me at the flat."
The boys all make their own brand of dirty reference and we all head home.
When I walk through the front door I see our huge tree that appears silver with bright, blue lights and blue ornaments. Presents are pouring out from underneath the tree and I look over to my right to find Perrie and (Y/N) in the kitchen making gingerbread men.
They both look over at me with a bright, warm smile and say hello. I reply with a friendly hello as I come up behind Perrie, wrap my arms around her waist, and kiss her on the cheek. I didn't want (Y/N) to feel sad or left out so I leave Perrie and wrap one arm around (Y/N) and give her a kiss on the cheek, as well. Perrie knows it was only a friendly greeting so she doesn't get jealous.
I spend the rest of the night helping the girls make gingerbread men, with the occasional flour fight here and there. We also decorated the cookies which served more for artillary to throw at each other than food.
After spending two hours cleaning up all the messes we made we all passed out on our beds, ready for tomorrow to begin.
