"Is everything ok love?" Louis thundered down the stairs. Tears ran down your cheeks as you realized it was to late. "I love him." You whispered, not looking at Louis. "Wha-" He began, but he followed your line of sight to the screen, which was showing Niall on his knee, and you crying as he proposed.
"Oh, love!" He set you on his knee. You wrapped your arms around his neck and sobbed. "Look, do you need to go talk to him?" He asked. His face was etched with worry as he searched your face. You nodded and wiped the tears from your face. He looked disappointed, but he nodded. "Go. Take the car." He said. "You're not mad?" You asked. "No. I'm not going to stop you from finding your true love." He tucked a piece of hair behind your ear. "Even if its not me." He kissed your cheek. You nodded and slowly got up and walked up the stairs. You got in the car and slowly backed out of the driveway. You were a bit dizzy, and this was very sudden.
You stopped at Niall's house, trying to calm your nerves. Your legs were wobbly as you rung the doorbell. Niall answered, and was shocked to see you. "(Y/N)? What are you doing here?" He asked. "May I come in?" You cleared your throat, trying to rid it of the lump inside it. "Of course." He led you to the living room and turned off the football (soccer) game.
"Um... how do I say this.... uh..." You stuttered. "Just say it. Its ok." He gave you one of his warm smiles, trying to help, but it just made it harder. You swallowed. "I was watching a tape, the one where you, proposed....." He nodded. "And, my memory came back." I said. "Oh. What about Louis?" I bit my lower lip. "He said that he wants me to be happy." I said. A tear ran down my cheek. "Why is life so complicated?" I asked. "Well, I'm glad you came back. Ever since you left, I just, haven't been the same." He said. "You look beautiful when you cry." He smiled. You half-sobbed-half-laughed and wiped away your tears. He pulled you into one of those Horan Hugs you missed so much.
"I better go talk to Louis," He nodded. "Wanna come?" You asked, but immediately realised it would make it more awkward. Thankfully he declined.
"Louis...?" You quietly crept into the house. "Hey. How'd it go?" He asked. "That depends on the perspective." You laughed lightly. "Me and Niall..... decided to, uh, start over." You smiled awkwardly. "Oh. Are you happy with that?" Tears slowly crawled down your cheeks. You nodded. He gave you a big hug. You two stood in each other's embrace for quite a while. Crying and rocking back and forth.
"As long as you're happy," He said, wiping away a tear from your face with his thumb. You began to twist off your wedding ring. He held out his hand so you could drop it. "I'll miss you," You sobbed.
He gave you last kiss before he whispered the words, "Goodbye."
