I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Nineteen

~Charlotte's POV~

So, we finished recording our song, What The Hell, and they are releasing it tomorrow. Today, I am hanging out in my apartment. By myself. Watching The Notebook. Eating Ice-cream.

The boys had already gone on tour almost a month ago.

And Stacey had gone shopping. She had asked me to come but I decided against it. I wanted to hang out alone for awhile and practically let all my emotions come out, but I hadn't wanted her to see.

Niall is still dating Rosaline.

He holds her hand.

Hugs her.

Kisses her.

Buys her things.

Not long ago he was doing that for me.

Now he tells another girl she's beautiful.

Tells her how special she is.

How amazing she is.

And how he loves her.

Not long ago he was saying all those things to me.

I touched the spot where the ring Niall had given to me used to sit.

I wander if he gave it to Rosaline.

He probably bought her better things.

Probably.

I watched yet another tear fall into my lap.

That was probably the millionth tear.

And there were still more to come.

How could he have done that to me?

He just threw me away, like a piece of rubbish.

There was knock at the door.

I sighed as I put the tub of ice-cream and spoon down, wiped away the remaining tears that had almost dried on my red-hot cheeks.

I slowly opened it, expecting it to be Stacey.

But it wasn't.

It was Aedan.

"What do you want?" I asked, bitterly.

"H-hi." He had his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

His light brown hair was pushed to the side, with a few strands covering his hazel eyes.

"What do you want?" I repeated. "I'm not dating Niall anymore, so you don't have to act like you want me."

"I know about you and Niall, and I still want you," Those words actually hurt.

I didn't love Aedan.

He used me so many times.

I don't want to be hurt anymore.

"Well, I'm sorry but you lost that chance years ago."

I went to close the door on him, but his foot stopped me.

"Please, I love you." he whispered.

I looked the other direction and said, "You may love me, Aedan," then I whispered, "But you're not IN love with me. The only person I want is Niall." And I went to shut the door again.

This time Aedan didn't stop me, so I had just left him in the hall, with tears in his eyes.

I slid down the door, and continued to cry.

My phone rang in my pocket.

I pulled it out, wiped away tears, once again, and answered to Zayn's voice.

"Hey" I tried my best not to sound upset.

"What the fuck happened?" He said. He could tell I had been crying.

"Nothing," I lied.

"Stop lying. Tell me, please?"

And that's what I did. I explained how Stacey had gone out so I had just been at home, watching sad movies, with ice-cream. I had explained how much I cried and I explained how Aedan came over and I practically broke his heart, just as Niall did to me.

"I'm so sorry," Zayn whispered.

"It's not your fault."

"I wish I was there."

Hearing that actually made me smile a little, "I know. I wish eveyrhting would go back to normal."

"Do you have Aedan's number?" he asked.

"Yeah, I haven't deleted it yet, for some reasone. WHy?"

"Give me it. I want to call him and set him straight."

"Oh, no Zayn, you don't have to d-" he interupted me.

"Just please text me the number. Please?" He begged.

Why did he care so much?

"Ok, I will. Bye." I hung up and sent him the number.

~Zayn's POV~

Not long after Kaci (My name fore her) hung up, I received a text from her with the number. I called it and on the fourth ring, a male answered.

"Hello?" He had been crying.

"Hey, is this Aedan?" I asked, ready to yell at him.

"Yes," he sobbed a little, and I decided not to yell.

"I'm Zayn, I'm a close friend of Charlotte's" I explained.

"Oh, yeah, uhm, hi."

"Look, I know you love her. And I know you want her. But she recently just had her heart broken, and she isn't ready for a relationship. You hurt her too you know? She has been through a lot in her life and has had her heart broken too many times. She just doesn't want it broken again."

"Bu-" I cut him off.

"No, I know you love her. But you can't have her. All she wants is Niall, otherwise she won't have anyone. Just trust me. I know what it's like to be in love with her." I said, softly.

His voice rose a little, and I could tell he was getting angry when he said, "Oh, really? And how would you know, pretty boy?"

I sighed and softly said into the phone, "Because I'm in love with her, too."
