Friends with benefits - Part 16

Isabel's POV

"HARRY STYLES CAUGHT KISSING MYSTERY GIRL." The headline says with the picture of Harry kissing no other than me. I am not supposed to kiss him, I am supposed to kiss my sweet and caring boyfriend whom I love so dearly. What will happen now?

I didn't even know that there was any paparazzi on the backside of that club because there was absolutely no one around and I didn't see any camera-flashes. I wouldn't even get into a car with the lad if there was anyone there.

I sit down on the couch and I look further down on the article only to get stunned of what I read...

Boyband-member Harry Styles from One Direction were spotted kissing a unknown mystery girl just a few hours ago. According to witnesses, the two of them have been holding hands and flirting inside of the club. It's also said that the girl wasn't just a girl mr. Styles picked up. They said that this girl arrived at the club the exact same time Harry, Louis and Liam arrived.

The club manager says that after Louis and Liam left, Harry and the mystery girl stayed and danced together for a while, before leaving. Later tonight they were spotted snogging in Harry's car, before leaving the place.

Could this be heartbreaking Harry Styles' new girlfriend or new sex-toy?

I slowly put Niall's Phone on the table and breathe out all the air I have in my lungs. Looking Niall in the eyes right now seems impossible and I refuse to do it. I can only imagine how heartbroken he is because of that disgusting article.

I suddenly caught myself in not breathing. I feel like I can't let out a single sound, because of Niall. He just seems so fragile right now and his breathing is uneven and somewhat dry.

When I feel my lungs craving for more air, I take a deep breath and slowly start to move my head towards Niall. I don't look up, but just keep staring at his legs instead. What am I going to say to him?

"LOOK AT ME!" Niall suddenly screams at the top of his lungs, which causes me to swiftly look at his face in deep fear. He walks closer and grab my chin to make me look him in the eyes.

"-Is this true?" He asks angrily and somehow try to search my eyes for answers. Nothing in the article is true, except the fact that I kissed Harry. Unfortunately the kissing part is the worst part and probably the hardest to deal with.

"Listen..." I start and Niall let's go of my chin before he sits down beside me. He looks at me as if he's ready to hear the story. Niall might look carefree and all that, but he is extremely sensitive and I've seen him cry more than once.

"-Nothing in that article is true, except the kiss" I say and try to look him in the eyes, but he just looks away and rests his head on his fisted hands. "Why the hell did you kiss Harry, Isabel?" Niall asks, not moving from his position.

To be honest, I don't quite know how to answer that. If I tell him that Harry was in fact the one who kissed me, he would never wish to speak to his best-friend again and I don't want to ruin their friendship. Everything just got complicated and I dislike it quite a lot.

"Isabel?" Niall asks again, inpatient for my answer. I look at him and he's still looking away. Achieving contact with the young blonde seems more than impossible when he doesn't even want to look me in the eyes.

"It just happened." Is the only thing I manage to answer. Why did I just say that? I just made it seem even more stupid.

Finally Niall looks at me again. His blue eyes are filled with water and sort of remind me of the ocean. He doesn't look happy though. Not even a little bit. Looking at him reminds me of a child who just lost their favorite toy... heartbreaking.

He keeps looking at me for a while, probably considering what to say or do next. It doesn't take long before he open his mouth, "I want you to leave" Is what he says. I blink at him, not knowing if he was for real.

"Niall?" I ask as tears start pressing behind my eyes and I try to grab his shoulder, but he stands up. "Bye" He says and walks up the stairs into his bedroom.

I may just have lost my boyfriend, or worse; my best-friend.
