I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Sixteen

~Stace's POV~

"The winner of X Factor UK for 2013 is..." Dermot paused. For a long time.

Every after that felt like it was in slow motion. Everyone jumped up and applauded and cheered. There was confetti and ribbons as well as ballons that feel from the ceiling. I could see the boys cheering. Charlie and I were jumping around with Cheryl. I looked over to Jake who was smiling for us. I went over and hugged him, and Charles joined in.

"You did great!" We assured him.

"Congratulations!" he said and hugged us again.

After the show, I was still trying to put the pieces together. Charles and I just finished talking to our parents, who came to every show and we had waited for the boys to come talk to us backstage, but they didn't come, which was strange. We were now walking down a hallway to go to Simon's office.

~Charlie's POV~

"We just won the X Factor!" I whisper-shouted.

"Are you sure?" Stace asked.

I laughed, "I'm pretty sure! At least this will help me get ov-" but I was cut off from the boys walking around a corner. Niall stood in front of me.

"H-hey," he stuttered.

"Oh hey Liam, Louis, Zayn and Harry," I said, facing the other four. I know I was being a bitch to Niall, but he broke a promise.

They said hello.

"Stacey, can I talk to you?" Harry asked.

"S-sure," she followed Harry around a corner, but first looked back at me. I just wiggled my eyebrows at her.

"You won!" Louis said a little to loudly.

"I know! I'm still trying to process it." I laughed.

"Are you going to see Simon now?" Niall asked.

I ignored him and spoke to the other boys, "So, Stace and I get to come back to London for a break for two weeks, then we are off for the X Factor tour."

"Sounds great!" they said.

Then Niall spoke up, "Are you seriously going to be mad at me forever?"

"Yes, I am. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to continue to be mad at you."

"Look, I like Rosaline. She makes me happy. Why can't you be happy for me?"

"Be happy for you?" I felt my cheeks go hot of anger, "Maybe I could be happy for you if you didn't break your promise. You told me you would wait for me, Niall," I started tearing up, "And you didn't. You told me so many times that you loved me, and now you're off saying it to some bitch!"

"Rosaline is not a bitch! Ok? She is beautiful, nice, sweet, funny and amazing! And at least she has been there for me when you haven't!" he argued.

"You know what Niall? I was there for you when that slut, Krystal, cheated on you. I was there for you when your cousin died. I was there for you when you broke your ankle, and your parents were on holidays in Hawaii. I was there for you when you had amnesia in Australia," my Irish accent got stronger as I got angrier, "And guess where you were when my sister died from cancer?" he didn't answer. "That's right, you were on tour!"

"Look, I don't choose when we go on tour! It was our X Factor tour, and then we had some other tours! You can't blame everything on me!"

"Fine then, I won't anymore! But know this. Not only are we no longer dating, but we are no longer best friends." I barged past him, then turned around, took the ring off that he gave me, and threw it at him, "And you can have this back. Why don't you go give it to Rosaline?"

When I went around the corner to get Stace, her and Harry were making out.

I cleared my throat and they pulled away.

"Stace, we have to go now." I said.

She just giggled, "Ok, bye Harry."

"Bye babe," he kissed her again, and then we left to go to Simon's office.
