Happily

Happily - chapter 42

Niall's POV
I'm just hurt. Probably not as much as Beth. But I'm still hurt. I can't believe she did that to me. I've been trying to talk to her all day. But Sarah won't let me in the room, she says its to soon to talk and that I need to give Beth some space to think or whatever.

That's stupid cause who knows what Elise has told her by now !
"Do you think tomorrow ?" I ask liam in a stressed voice, while holding ice cream.
"It's hard to tell Niall. Time. Time is what she needs" he tells me calmly even though I know he wants to yell in my face.
"But I didn't do anything ! I need to explain that to her" I raise my voice slightly.
"Shh. I know. But girls are just complicated, they don't want to hear it until they've comprehended the worst so that the truth won't be as hurtful" Liam says to me slowly. He's like a God or something, of how girls are wired. Maybe not.
"I guess. But I know Elise has been over there, I know she's talked to her and she wouldn't fess up. She's done something to make me the bad guy I can feel it" I explain letting out a big depressing sigh on the end.

We both fall silent as we eat our ice creams. I finish mine and then check my phone for anything. I have a text from Harry.
'What's going on ?' It reads.
I'm not sure if that's a casual conversation starter or if he's heard something about the situation.
'Not so great, you ?' I reply casually.

"So what actually happened ?" Ashton asks me while him, Luke, Liam and I watch TV.
"She came onto me. She asked for a blanket so I went to give it to her and she pulled me down and kissed my face off" I explain to him as simple as it can get.
"Girls are weird" he says before returning his focus to the TV.

We're watching the movie 'step brothers' which is hilarious and I know they only agreed to watch it to lift my mood, but it's not working. I can't stop thinking about it. About her. Is she hating me ? Is she just crying endlessly because of a misunderstanding ? Uh. I don't know.
"Niall, I wasn't going to resort to this but do you want a drink ?" Liam offers me.
"No" I answer blankly.
"I'm going to bed" I say getting up and pondering slowly into my room. Liam is sleeping on the couch, his demand not mine.

Earlier I told harry everything, he said not to overthink it but, I can't stop. It's not very late, but I'm just exhausted. I was crying earlier. I don't like admitting that but Elise has torn both of us apart. The only thing stopping me from racing to beth and demanding for her to listen to me is the fact that I respect her way to much. I would never cheat on her, even if she did on me I wouldn't.

I start falling asleep slowly, but I hear voices. It sounds like beth only this time it's not in my head. It's probably the guys just talking. There's a knock on the door. I don't bother to answer it they can just come in. I hear the door creak open then close with a jolt sound. A deep inhaled breath.
"I-I need the truth, I need to hear it now before I start hating people to much" she says to me. She. Beth.
I roll over and it's beth. She's in my, our, room again. I see the tears welling in the back of her eyes and she's wiping them as I look at her.
"Beth" is all I can say, I sit up. It's not been 24 hours and she's already here willing to let me explain. There is a long silence.
"Please. stop staring at me" she says softly.
"Sorry. I'm sorry. For everything" I say quickly.
"So it's true then. The text message and what she told me" beth tells me. Huh ?.
"What message ? What did she tell you ?" I ask confused.
"The text you sent me. It says that you're sorry and that you didn't that've enough self control around her. I get it. She's beautiful" Beth says looking to the floor.
"I never sent that message" I tell her in disbelief. I whip my phone out of my pocket and look at my recent conversations.
"Well who did ?" Beth questions me nervously.
"Elise. It had to be. I must have left my phone when I was out looking for you. She was still here" I explain to her shaking my head. She's evil.
"Niall I want to believe you but-" she starts, tears starting to roll down her cheeks, I want to kiss them away and make everything better.
" but what ?! But you want to believe Elise because she told you lies. Lots of lies that make me seem so hurtful" I say standing up, lacing around the room. I want to throw something.
"Well she told me that it was you, and I asked the truth from her and that's what I got. Niall. I just can't think right now" she starts telling me, leaning against the wall for support. Beths skin tone is fading.

"You should sit down, I'll get some water you're really pale" I say quietly interrupting the argument.
"No. I'm fine. I just need the truth" she says dramatically while crying her eyes out. It hurts to see her so unstable.
"Okay. So the whole day I knew something was up. She was acting all weird. Then about a minute before you arrived home, we were both lying on separate couches and she asked me to pass her a blanket, I got up to get the blanket. Being a nice person I spread out the blanket on her and as I did it's she grabbed the front of my shirt and pulled me, sending my body crashing onto hers and her lips found mine on purpose. I told her to stop and I was fighting the action, she wouldn't let go until you walked in the room and she acted as if i jumped on her" I explain slowly to her.
"Is that the truth, honestly ?" Beth asks me unsure.
"Yes. Beth. If this makes it sound more truthful I've been so messed up. It's only been a few hours and i can't live with it" I say to her.
"Okay" she replies.
"Okay ?" I ask.
"Yeah. Okay" she says again.
"So are we good ?" I ask uncomfortably.
"Niall, I forgive you, but I think I need some alone time. Maybe a week, maybe a month. I don't know but I just don't think I'm ready to jump straight back into what we had, so soon. But I assure you the feeling I have towards you has only grown, and your killing me"

"Your killing me to"
