Loved You First

Chapter One

*FOUR YEARS LATER*

Annabella. The name still goes through my head. She's been dating Harry for four years, and I still haven't given up. I try to tell her, but I just can't. She's the one I chose of all the pretty girls, and she slipped away. Harry has told us about the lovely times he's had with her, and I just nod and try to keep my head. The other boys have tried setting me up, but no one compares to Annabella Artley. Louis and Liam really feel bad for me, especially when Harry starts talking about her.

Zayn doesn't mind it. Perrie and Danielle try to set me up with their friends, but they're no Annabella. Every once in a while, she'll come hang out with us. She treats me like a best guy friend, but I treat her like girlfriend. I don't kiss her or anything, but you get what I mean.

"Ni, Harry and Bella are here," Liam says through my door. I sigh, and stand up. Time to put on a game face. Act natural, don't act angry toward Harry. I open the door and step out to the sitting room. Sure enough, Harry is standing there with his arm around Bella's waist.

"Niall!" Bella walks over and gives me a tight hug. I drink in her vanilla scent and give her a bear hug.

"Hi Bella." I said. Harry waves, I nod at him. Bella pulls back, and looks into my blue eyes with her piercing green ones.

"So, what are we doing today?" I asked.

"Well, we're going to dinner, then we're going to the club." Liam said.

"Okay, is Dani, El, and Perrie coming?" I asked Liam, Louis, and Zayn.

"Yeah." They all said at the same time. Great. More couples.

I was happy for all the boys, but I just feel like an ninth wheel..

"We're picking them up from the airport." Louis said.

"Well, let's go!!" Bella said. We all followed Harry and Bella to the parking lot.

"Wait, where's Paul?" I said hearing our names being shouted.

"Um. Not here.." Harry said. I sighed in annoyance.

"Let's sneak through the back." Liam said.

Once I got into Harry's Range Rover, .we headed to the airport.

"So, we're going to sit in the back like like old times?" Liam asked me, Bella, and Harry.

"Yeah!" Bella said.

"Cool." Liam said.

"Where's my queen!!" Louis shouted running into the airport. We all laughed, chasing Louis.

We finally found Danielle, Eleanor, and Perrie. The lads started kissing their girls, and I got even more annoyed.

"Don't worry, you might find your princess tonight." Harry said.

Damn, I have to stop thinking out loud.
