The Contract

34

"Georgia! I need to talk to you," Niall exclaimed when I had made it back to the hotel. I had taken my time, wandering the streets, surprised I had remembered my way back since I hadn't wandered around much.

I felt a million different ways as per usual when I had left an emotional exchange with Harry. He confused me to no end. How could he claim to love me and do something like that? Of course, he didn't know Alex was going to try to assault me, my subconscious reasoned so I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus, he had admitted to being involved which was usually something I would have had to have find out later on from someone else.

I let Niall lead me to a secluded area out by the pool which was deserted considering it was nearly 1 in the morning.

"What's up?" I asked. I hadn't cried yet thankfully but if he launched into a tirade of how much of an idiot was, I would cry.

"I have to tell you something," he said. "Do you want a drink?"

I shook my head no. "I had enough to drink earlier and I'm fine now. Just spit it out Niall. If it's about Harry and Ruby sending Alex to my room, I already know about their involvement. Harry just told me."

Niall's eyes widened. "What a wanker! He didn't mention that but no wonder he was so beat up earlier."

"It's no surprise, really. He's unhappy with me being with Louis so of course he's going to try to do anything he can to ruin it," I said sadly. If Harry loved me so much, he should just let me go.

"He loves you, Gee."

"Niall," I sighed, "if you found me just to tell me how much Harry loves me, I've heard this speech a thousand times before."

"That's not what I wanted to tell you, Gee. It's about Louis," he said nervously. His voice became higher pitched.

"What about Louis?"

He sighed. "This bloody sucks to tell you, but he's been sleeping with your sister. Behind your back. The whole time he's been playing the victim with harry and you he's been doing something ten times worse to you."

I burst out laughing. "Wow. Niall. Really? I know Harry had something fucked up planned but I never would have guessed it involved Louis sleeping with my sister. Wow. That's low. That's really low."

"I'm not lying, Georgia! I've seen them with my own two eyes. So has Zayn!" He exclaimed.

"You're lying, Niall. This is really pathetic. If you honestly think I'm going to believe this twisted lie you and Harry came up so I could go back to him, you're wrong. Now I know I made the right choice in picking Louis. You both can go sod off somewhere." I stood up and stalked out of the lounge area.

"Georgia! I'm not lying. I swear. Just think about it. It all makes sense. The sneaking around from both of them and all of the shadiness!" He called after me.

I whirled around. "Enough, Niall. If you breathe a word of this to anyone else.." I didn't know what I would do but I prayed to God he wouldn't.

He sadly nodded and let me leave the area. I waited until I got in the lift and got back to my room to cry. What was with these boys and making me cry? I swear not a week went by when I wasn't crying over one of them. My life was so much easier when Harry and I were just friends and when I was barely hanging out with them except for once every few months or on a random holiday here and there. Even my friendship with Gemma had become strained since I had started dating Harry and it was just too much.

After the contract, I was done with Harry. I was done with all of them I decided.

Despite my disbelief at Niall's words I wondered if there was some truth to it and I couldn't help but feel the need to investigate further. I called Louis once I had checked my appearance and his phone went straight to voicemail. I called Tina and her call went straight to voicemail as well.
