Friends with Benefits

Part 19

Friends with benefits - Part 19

Niall's POV

It's the wedding day of Ellen and Glenn. They have given each-other their 'yes' and we are now gathered at the Wedding Reception. Again I am placed across from Isabel, like someone have planned it. My eyes carefully looks up at her. I study her as she looks down at her dessert plate, filled with vanilla ice cream and fruit.

She looks stunning and beautiful in her long baby-blue dress, almost like an angel. Why would I waste my time with all those girls, when I could spend every single second of every day with her.

"Thank you to everyone who have joined me and my lovely Ellen here today. We are glad you could come all the way out here to join us," Glenn says and stands up. Everybody cheers at the happy couple except me and Isabel. "- As some of you may know, me and Ellen have always wanted a third family-member. Sadly that never worked out for us," Glenn keeps talking and placed his hand on Ellen's shoulder.

"- I remember how Ellen cried and how she always blamed herself, but in the end, it was no ones fault. There was nothing we could do about it," Glenn gave Ellen a smile "- After a while, we stopped trying and we realized that there was just going to be us two for the rest of our lives, so why not enjoy it?" Ellen wipes a tear away and so does my mother.

"- We love each-other and therefor we decided to get married. Oh, how she smiled when I proposed to her. It was like I could finally see her happy-face again for the first time in years. Ellen is the love of my life and I wouldn't want anyone else but this beautiful, amazing and loving woman." Glenn looked into Ellen's eyes, "- I love you Ellen." He said and leaned down to kiss her.

I look at Isabel again, who still looks down at her ice-cream. Her hand swiftly goes up to her cheek and she wipes a tear away. I can not help but wonder what she's thinking about. Or who for that matter.

Isabel's POV

I can tell that Niall is looking at me. I wonder if he is still angry about my kiss with Harry, or maybe he has met a new girl? The thought of that makes me feel a bit jealous, I guess?

-------------------------------------

It have started to get late and everybody have started dancing and drinking, except I. I am still sitting in my chair with a glass of water whilst everyone else is dancing around in the beautifully decorated room. Niall is gone and no-where to be seen. I guess he's still angry and didn't want to sit across from the bitch who broke his heart and his relationship with his best friends.

I am the reason he slept around. I am the reason he started drinking and partying every single night. I'm the reason he almost got kicked out of the band and the job he loved so much. We should have never crossed the safe line as best-friends. We should have stayed that way. I should have had some strength to say 'no'.

"Isabel, come. Have some fun!" Ellen says as she comes over to me in her massive, but well fitted wedding gown. I shake my head and politely decline her. "Boy trouble?" She asks and stroke me cheek and smile. I nod and close my eyes to keep my tears from falling. Ellen sighs before she sits down beside me and places her hand on my back.

"I don't know how things ended between you two, but if you loved him. -Like really loved him, then it's never too late. If you loved each other back then, there's still a chance that you will always love each-other. No matter what happened back then. You just have to follow your heart, sweetie." Ellen says and stands up before she goes back to her husband on the dance floor.

She puts rests her head on his shoulder and they dance to a piano-song. They look so happily in love.

I get up from my seat and head to the restroom to see if my make-up still looks alright. I am on my way behind a corner and down a bright hall before I see the 'ladies' sign. I'm about to open the door when I see him in the corner of my right eye.
