Chapter 85

I curl my hair and do a little makeup. It's finally 8 p.m when I waste my time on watching some Ireland news. I get outside to see Alice's car parks on the driveway and say Marcus goodbye. When I get in, the other girlfriends are sitting on the back.

            "Hey!" Alice cheerily greets me and wow, I look like crap compared to her. She looks really hot with her red dress and her hair up to a ponytail. The two girls in the back are blonde and we are all bonding with each other, well I kind of force myself to. The girl with straight blonde hair named Joanna and the other girl is Valerie.

            When we finally make ourselves to the club, I feel my heart is throbbing and Iwish Niall is here. I just keep on having those negative thoughts running across my mind as I try to calm down.

NIALL HORAN

It's 11 pm and I spend my time watching football match to distract Melanie off of my mind. I really want to fix this all up because it's just a simple mistake. I'll probably drive down to my dad's house later. But it's not that simple to me when she defended Thomas. Why does she have to be hard? Why does she have to be so difficult? I groan as I reach for my phone to randomly see the notifications I've been ignoring.

12 missed calls, 15 new messages, 2 voicemails.

I didn't bother to open the texts unless it's from my mum or dad or Melanie. The other texts are from my friends trying to catch up and just a text from an unknown number which I don't have the urge seeing it. I open the first voicemail, revealing my mum's caller ID as I listen to it.

"Niall, me and Chris are going to go home late with the others, so, don't worry. We will be home tomorrow morning. We are out and are probably going to stay at your dad's. Take good care of Melanie too while she's still with you. Bye." The voicemail ends as I see the other voicemail from. . . Harry? I quickly click the voicemail.

"Hey, buddy, call me as soon as you get this. It's urgent." He ended the voicemail and then I dial his number.

"Niall! Finally, you're alive! Are you with Melanie right now?" Louis' voice answers the call.

"Err, Louis? How do you know I was with Melanie?" I sit up, confusion takes over my face.

"What do you mean you were with Melanie?"

"Tell me how do you know I'm with Melanie first!" I raise my voice since I can't control my anger lately.

"From Thomas, now, where is she?" Louis demands.

"Thomas, you know Thomas? Can you just explain me something here because I'm fucking confused right now!" I groan. Lou takes a deep breath before explaining everything for me.

"Niall, Thomas is dead," Louis exhales. 

I laugh and keeps on making jokes out of it to Louis but then Louis stays silent which makes my huge smile fades. "Are you even serious?"

"Niall, he's gone."

I let my jaw drops, my phone looses from my hand as it falls on the carpeted floor. I maintain my breathing heavily and run my fingers through my hair as I try to gulp downthe reality. Thomas is dead. I groan as I hear Lou calls my name from my phone. I quickly grab my phone from the floor and let him continue. He told me everything from the moment when Thomas had a cancer to where Melanie started to take care of him and the moment when Thomas was mad at Melanie when she picked him over me, but it all make sense now. My heart is breaking in one point. Melanieis only doing it to make every last moment with Thomas is worth to spend. I feel like I want to throw myself over the window at how stupid I am.
