Eleanor's POV
Skylar was a mess. She hadn't slept or come out of her room in days. Liam, Dani, Sierra, Jenna, Louis, Zayn, Harry, and I had been taking shifts to watch her. Niall and Ashlyn had been banned from her flat, courtesy of Liam.
Right now, Louis and I had the day off, and we were in the doctor's office. After realizing that we were possibly in danger of having 3 girls or boys, Louis insisted we get the results of the genders from the doctor.
"I thought we were going to be surprised," I whined.
"I don't want to buy stuff for boys only to find out it's three girls," Louis insisted.
"I guess," I mumbled, my mind not really paying attention.
"Hey, it'll be all right," Louis said. "It's better this way."
"I don't care, I'm thinking about Skylar," I said.
Louis' face softened. "Poor girl."
The boys had all of a sudden really gotten defensive of her, and when the Twitter wars started up, with half of the Directioners siding with Niall, and half the Directioners siding with Skylar, they never left her side. Liam's words: "It was Niall's fault, he made the choice. He has to suffer the consequences."
Skylar hadn't even gone onto her Twitter account lately, which was good, because if she had, she would've seen all the nasty comments on her profile. They were bad, and One Direction's management was having trouble taking the thing down. Even on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, the comments were getting worse by the hour.
"Ouch, this one's harsh," Louis said, wincing, holding up his phone:
Mrs1D @D1rectioner
@a_skylar19 u hurt our leprechaun, you're breaking up the band. #apologize&die
I winced as well, and glanced down the screen. "#apologize&die is trending worldwide."
"That's not good," Louis said. "Simon said he'd look into shutting the website down. This is getting way worse than--"
"It's way worse than the hate Dani and I had ever got," I finished.
"Here's another one," Louis groaned.
irishclover @clover201
@a_skylar19 is the worst person ever. she broke @OneDirection up. #apologize&die #nialldeservesbetter
"Good grief," I sighed.
"#nialldeservesbetter is trending," Louis announced.
"Like usual," I said dejectedly.
"Ms. Calder, Mr. Tomlinson, we have your results," a doctor announced, coming into the room.
We stood up. "Let's see 'em," Louis said.
I nodded as we stepped towards the door. Louis put his phone away. Skylar would just have to wait.
The long-awaited Niall's POV
Ashlyn and I had camped out at a local hotel, banned from entering the flat I shared with the boys and Skylar's flat.
I felt awful; it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. I hadn't meant to kiss her at all.
And now I was regretting it.
I saw on Twitter all the hate she was receiving. It was way worse than any hate Eleanor and Danielle had ever received in previous years.
And I felt responsible.
Niall Horan @NiallOfficial
guys, please stop harassing @a_skylar19. she didnt do anything wrong. if you're sending her hate, you're #NotaDirectioner. #stopsendinghate.
I got dozens of retweets, but even more replies that I knew I couldn't answer, including this one:
Hallie Horan @hallie1d
@NiallOfficial glad you're sticking up for @a_skylar19. it's time to #stopsendinghate. but #whatwentwrong ? #Skiallforever
That just made me feel even more guilty.
It was an accident.
I closed my eyes and replayed the memory.
"I really wish she were here," Ashlyn said softly.
"I feel like the worst person ever, I shouldn't have left her alone," I moaned.
"Hey it's all right," Ashlyn said softly, hugging me. "We all miss her. But she'll turn up."
I hugged her, and when we pulled apart, our faces were within inches of each other. All of a sudden, gravity seemed to be pulling us closer together, so close until...
Then our lips touched.
It wasn't a spark. It was...more of a flame. Not passion, but it was emotional. Our lips opened as we kissed harder. Our hands went around each other, and sooner or later we ended on the bed. Ashlyn went to pull the shirt over my head when I pulled away.
"What did we just do?" I asked shakily.
Ashlyn looked horrified. "Oh my gosh."
"This is awful," I groaned, rolling off of her. "I'm sorry, it was my fault."
"No, it was mine," Ashlyn insisted.
"Niall?" Ashlyn asked softly, and my eyes flew open.
"Yeah?" I asked miserably.
"I'm sorry, I started it, it was my fault," Ashlyn said.
"Forget about it," I said crossly.
"Fine," she snapped. "I was just trying to help." Then she stalked off.
Suddenly I felt guiltier than before. "Ashlyn, wait," I called, rushing after her. I found her in her room, pulling her shirt off of her head.
She wheeled around. "What are you doing?" she gasped, attempting to cover herself.
I tried not to stare, I really did try. But it was almost impossible. I swallowed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you."
"Whatever," Ashlyn said, turning around and grabbing a shirt off the bed and sliding it on. "I'm taking a nap."
"But I wanted to," I whined.
"There's something called a pull-out couch," Ashlyn rolled her eyes.
"Right, like I didn't know that. I don't want to sleep there. Why don't you sleep there?"
"Or you could sleep here with me," she said, smirking suggestively.
Rage filled me. "ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS? LOOK HOW MUCH TROUBLE WE GOT IN JUST FROM HANGING OUT TOGETHER! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET SKYLAR AND THE LADS TO HATE ME FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY?"
"C'mon, Niall," she said, pouting, and I found myself in no control of my limbs, sliding into the covers next to her.
"I'm going to regret this," I mumbled, turning away from her.
Her arm snaked around me and pulled me to face her. She wrapped her arms and legs around me, like I was a tree or something.
Then she smirked. "No, you won't."
Do you guys hate Ashlyn or Niall more?
Dedi to the commenter with the best reasoning!
