Chapter Eleven

*Niall's POV*

“You're his Prom date? And he is your Prom date? Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?” Isabella flinched and hid behind Zayn. “Mate calm down.” Zayn reached out to touch my shoulder. But I moved away from his hand. “Don't fucking touch me you back stabbing asshole.” I shouted. “No need to call him that! We broke up forever ago. Need I remind you, you broke up with me!” Isabella shouted back. She had a point but I was too pissed to care. “Shut up you dumb bitch!” She looked mad and hurt at the same time, but the next thing I know there is a sharp pain in my face. “Ouch!” I screamed while looking at Zayn. But, it wasn't him. He was laughing, it was Isabella, she was shaking her hand as if she hurt herself. “Did you just punch me?” I asked the most obvious question. “No shit dumb ass, don't me a bitch.” Perrie came running back in the room. “What happened? Niall why is your face bleeding? Follow me” We walked into the bathroom. “What the hell happened back there?” I shook my head, “Well, I called Isabella a bitch and she punched me in the face.” She stared at me like I was crazy. “Last time I ever go to the bathroom. Why did you call her a bitch?” “I don't know. She yelled at me and I was mad at not only her and Zayn, but at myself. I mean, I screwed things up big time. I just didn't think she would like Zayn. And I didn't even know Zayn liked her. I mean why he do this me? How long has he liked her?” Perrie rolled her eyes. “Wow everyone but me was really clueless.” I looked at her waiting for her to explain. She sighed. “You did it to him first. He like Isabella before you guys even dated. He just never told anyone.” I stopped her. “In all fairness, I've known her longer and I liked her for a really long time. Zayn knew that.” “Well, Zayn liked her too. He was going to ask her out Valentine’s Day, just like you did. And when pretended to hate her to try to make himself think that he did. He thought hanging out with you would do that. But, he couldn't take it anymore. He never stopped liking her. And when I told her all this, she felt horrible. So, can tell you one thing. She is not a Bitch, and if you ever call her that again. She won't be the on punching you.” She told me and she was dead serious. I got up to walk out of the bathroom and stopped. “ I thought you hated her?” “I never really did. I just acted like I did for Zayn's sake. I didn't like her because she broke Zayn's heart. But, then I realized, she didn't mean to.” I nodded and walked out to find Isabella crying. I ran up to her. “What's wrong?” She saw me and gave me a hug. “I'm sorry Nialler. I don't know why I punched you.” “It's okay, I forgive you. I'm sorry I called you a Bitch. You're not one. I was just mad.” She pulled away and stood by Zayn again. “Why did you call her that?” Zayn asked. “I don't know I was mad. Perrie told me the whole story. I didn't know you liked her. I'm sorry.” I looked at them and saw they were holding hands. I guess they are kinda cute together. Her being a total sweetheart and him being a 'bad boy'. “So you're okay with this?” Zayn asked. I nodded, knowing it's not true. Knowing this is going to kill me. Knowing, that I let her go and I can never have her back. Knowing, I have to find someone else. This kinda sucks, not kinda, it does suck. Oh,well everything happens for a reason right? Right? “Well we gotta go to my house so I can show him the color of my dress.” Isabella said. “Alright, bye.” Perrie and I both said at the same time. “Bye guys.” Zayn told us and Isabella just waved and they were out the door. Perrie came up behind me and pat my back. “Are you going to be okay Niall?” I nodded, “Yeah I just need a date to prom and I need a minute alone.” I walked back to the bathroom and locked the door.

“But Izzy! I hate Disney movies!” I complained, hoping I wouldn't have to watch it with her. “Too bad Nialler! You have to watch it with me. It's my favorite Disney Princess!” She gave me the puppy dog face, knowing I can't say no. “Fine, whatever.” “Yay!” She shrieked and put in the movie. “You're 15 years old and you still watch Cinderella?” I asked. “Yes!” she pouted. “Why? Why is she your favorite?” She smiled, “Because, she shows you that you can find love no matter where you come from. And also shows that beauty is only skin deep.” I smiled, “Is that really the reason?” She nodded. “ I pulled her into a hug, “Just remember, you will always will be my princess. Always”

I splashed my face with water and walked back out into the living room. Looks like I lied to her for once. Even though it wasn't really a lie. In my eyes, she will always be my princess, even if she found another Prince. I walk out to see Perrie pacing back and forth. “Are you okay?” She nodded. “I just have something on my mind,” She replied. “And that is?” I asked a little bit worried. “Niall, how about I be your date to Prom?” I smile, “I'd like that”
