Putting Together the Puzzle: A Dark Niall Horan FanFiction

Chapter 15

NIALL'S P.O.V.

"Well shit this is not good." Zayn groans, falling back into the couch of the ajoining hotel rooms.

"No shit it is not fucking good." I run my finger through my hair, pacing back in fourth with Charlie's ring between my thumb and pointer finger. "She gave me the ring back. What the hell does this mean?"

"I would assume it is that she doesn't want to marry you anymore?" Louis shrugs, looking anywhere but at me. "It has been three days mate."

"Don't you dare fucking say that." I spit at him.

"Niall you fucking cheated on your fiance!" Louis stresses, standing up to make his point even more true. "Not just your fiance but our friend and don't you dare think that any of us are going to feel bad for you."

"The thing is I didn't cheat on Charlie!" I yell back. "I went up to that bedroom alone."

"Then how do you explain the fact that Ingrid was in bed with you with your shirt on?" Harry appears in the doorway, butting in.

"I have no fucking clue!?"

I really don't. Everything from that night was clouded after I took that hit. I couldn't of done anything with Ingrid. I love Charlie more than the world and I couldn't bare to hurt her like his. I couldn't have slept with Ingrid.

"Wilder must of set me up."

"Dear god Niall." Harry scuffs, shaking his head.

"I would never hurt Charlie like that and I am surprised you even thought that I would do that."

"We want to think you wouldn't do that mate." Zayn sits up on the couch. "But all signs are pointing to the fact that you did."

"You guys think I am lying." I nod, the anger slowly building up inside of me.

"Look Niall-" Louis starts but I quickly stop him.

"No." I shake my hand in front of my face as if to wave away the discussion. "You know what I am just going to go."

"Where the hell are you going to go?" Harry questions as I reach the door.

"To find Charlie." I slam the door behind me before any of them have a chance to stop me.

CHARLIE'S P.O.V.

"Aren't you supposed to be like, sobbing in your bedroom refusing ot come out?" Iris questions as we walk through town.

"Because that what everyone expects." I shrug, shoving my hands into my jacet pockets.

"So is it really over?"

"He cheated on me Iris!" I scuff.

"You didn't answer my question." She rasies her eyebrows at me. "It has been three days." She shrugs. "You haven't spoken a word of it until now."

"That's because I don't want to talk about it Iris." I stop in the middle of the sidewalk and she takes a moment but stops with me. "I have spent every minute of these past few days doing nothing but thinking about Niall and how I gave him my heart and he stomped on it. And I have just kept it all in and all I want to do is hurt Niall as bad as he hurt me." I take in a deep breath.

"Well now is your chance." Iris points past my shoulder and I whip around to see Niall stalking toward us.

"Iris no." I turn back around but she is already walking away, waving at me as she goes into the nearest shop.

I try to walk away when Niall large hand wraps around my wrist.

"Charlie please talk to me." Niall says but I still don't turn around. "It's been three days."

I slowly turn around to face Niall. He holds the ring up to my face, a look of desparation in his eyes.

"Please just wear it." He stresses.

I hesitate but push Niall's hand away. Looking anywhere but at Niall as I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Charlie, I am so sorry." Niall reaches up to touch my cheek but I quickly hit his hand away.

"No Niall." I shake my head. "Not this time. Your charm his going to get you out of this one."

"Fucking hell Charlie will you just talk to me?" He lifts my head so I am looking at him. But I back away so he isn't touching me.

"I don't want to talk to you." Even just a glance at him hurts. Bringing back the memories of Niall in bed with another girl.

"Come with me." He grabs my arm, dragging me into the nearest restaurant which happens to be a sit down place. "Table for two."

Niall tells the host but just blows right past her. Sitting me down at a booth in the back and sliding in next to me.

"Now you have to talk to me." He turns toward me and it isn't until now, that I have a good look at him that I see how bad he looks. His hair is a mess poking out every which way. He has dark bags under his eyes like he hasn't slept in days. His face is flushed of color, making him pale as a ghost.

"You cheated on me." I state finally.

All he responds with in a heavy sigh.

"How could I ever forgive you after that?"

"I don't expect you to." He shrugs. "I just need you to know that I didn't cheat on you Charlie."

I scuff, rolling my eyes and he continues.

"I don't know how Ingrid got in that bed with me. I don't know how she got into my shirt. I went to the bedroom alone. I knew being there and getting high was not a good idea but-"

I hold up my hands, stopping him, "Wait so now you were high?!"

Niall groans, running his hand over his face. "Charlie I was mad. I wasn't thinking."

"So then how can I believe that you weren't sleeping with that slut?" I counter back.

Niall looks angry now, he scoots closer to me and I scoot back, my back hitting the hard wall of the booth. Niall gets in my face, looking back and fourth between each of my eyes.

"Don't you dare imply that I would jeopardize our relationship like that. That was the old me Charlie and you know that. You know that I love you more than anything."

"Let me leave." The tears start to brim in my eyes but I try my best to hold them back.

"No."

"Niall let me leave now."

He just shakes his head and I can't hold in my tears anymore.

My tears then quickly turn into sobs and I can't hold it in anymore. I cover my mouth in my hands, trying to block out my noises.

"Charlie I just need you to believe me." He reaches up to touch my face but I hit his hand away before he has a chance to.

"Don't you dare fucking touch me." I snap.

"Please god don't do this." Niall stress, reaching toward me again.

"I said don't fucking touch me!' I raise my voice this time and the hostess quickly comes over to our table.

"Is everything okay here."

NIALL'S P.O.V.

"Is everything okay here?" The hostess asks, a worried look on her face.

"Everything is fi-"

"I just need to leave." Charlie pushes at my chest and I finally give in, sliding out of the booth. Charlie quickly gets out of the booth, wiping the tears from her face.

"I need you to leave me alone for a while." Charlie tells me. "Consider this a break."
