Paige's P.O.V.

"What?!" I say before sighing and speaking up again,"ok."

I just found out that Brandon got arrested for beating up somebody. I have to go bail him out now. Sophia and I were almost home but she turns around and we head towards the police station. Brandon has me worried sick. Is he hurt? How badly did he hurt the person he beat up?

Brandon never gets in fights... He never starts them, at least. I wonder what happened so badly that I end up lost in my own thoughts.

"Paige?" Sophia snaps in my face.

"What? Yeah?"

"We're here."

I step out of the car letting my sandals hit the ground. Sophia and I enter the room and find it very intimidating. I can't imagine being in worse rooms than this. We walk up to a police officer, asking him about the people arrested from the fight. He tells me it will be a minute and my curiosity takes over me.

"Can you at least tell me what happened, please?" I add the 'please' after forgetting my manors. He looks up at me before he takes in a breathe and starts talking.

"Three men were found at a local club fighting, physically and verbally. That's pretty much it."

"Any names?"

He looks at his paper before looking back up at me. "Brandon Vick, Niall Horan, and Harry Styles."

I get a mini heart attack at the mention of Niall. I look behind me to see Sophia give me a worried expression signaling her fear of Harry being hurt. I almost walk away before I turn my body halfway around and quickly thank the man before he looks at me and nods giving me a smile.

By the time I make it to Sophia somebody calls us over and Sophia instantly shoots up, charging towards the door. I follow her from behind and when I enter she's already engulfed in a hug with Harry. I meet eyes with Brandon and we run towards each other and hug each other tightly.

"You had me so worried!" I tell him, nuzzling my head into the crook of his neck. I pull away, my arms still around him before I reach eye contact with Niall. I want to say something although I can't find the words...

Brandon kisses me and we head out. Niall disappears and Sophia goes to take Harry to his car, back at the club. Brandon kisses me one last time before asking me if I'm alright walking home alone. I reassure him I'll be fine, and we head our different directions after we exchange goodbyes. I take this as an opportunity to think everything over. There's not much to think about. School, and boy drama. That's all there is. I run into a person and quickly apologies. He turns around and I can see Niall's face... Red- puffy- and wet. He must have been crying. What?

"Woah, what's wrong?" I ask him turning him back around to face me after he turned around. He sighs and I see another tear start the fall. I quickly bring my hand up to wipe it away before it falls to ground and he smiles a bit. I decide to walk with him to give him some company so he doesn't have to walk alone- crying. I still hear silent sobs so I entwined my fingers with his, and we walked hand and hand.

"Why did you get in a fight with Brandon?" I finally ask. I hear him mumble something but I can't hear a thing.

"What?"

"I said it was over you!" He says a little louder this time.

"W...Why would you fight over me?"

"Because we both love you, alright? I screwed up!" I hear him start to curse at himself quietly.

I feel a drop of water on my hand. I figured it was one of Niall's tears, but I feel another on my other hand. I look up and around me and I notice it's starting to rain. Before I know it, it's pouring. Niall quickly shrugs off his jacket and puts it over my head. I have no time to refuse because he pulls me over to a park. There's a little covered area and he quickly pulls us under it. I try to hand him back his jacket, but he refuses.

"But it's cold," I tell him considering it's autumn.

"I don't care, you need it."

"But you can get sick."

"Exactly why I gave it to you."

I stop trying and he turns towards me and I can tell he wants to say something, but he's unsure if he should.

"I'm sorry, for everything," he starts.

"It's alright... That was almost two years ago..."

"Still, maybe it's time that I apologize. I just let you slip out of my fingers to easily," he starts to shake his head at the stuff he did. "I shouldn't have let you go... I was stupid."

"You're not stupid!" I tell him.

"You were the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Niall, no. You were being smart. You know that saying 'If you love something set it free'. You did that, and that's not dumb," I leave out the last part if the saying because I don't really know if I still love him. Sure, I still have feelings for him... But my love for Brandon is stronger.

"But I lied to you. I lied to you twice. Look at me now! I told you before we broke up that I wouldn't get any more tattoos, and I lied again! I'm covered in them! I'm screwed up!" He swings his arms up in the air, then rest them on his head.

"That's alright. A lot of kids do something like this when they go through bad times. I guess it was a bad time for you."

"Ya think? You left me when I needed you most..."

I try to think back, and finally I remember his parents getting a divorce. How could I leave him in a time like that? God I feel stupid.

"Oh my God Niall, I totally forgot about that," I tell him sitting down on a bench with him wrapping him into a hug. He cries softly into my shoulder, and I start to cry with him. I'm such an idiot. Without thinking, I tilt his head up with my fingers and I look into his beautiful baby blue eyes. He looks so innocent, but not at the same time. Yet, he looks helpless. I quickly but softly connect our lips. Kissing him feels so warm and comforting. We kiss for at least ten seconds. There's no tongue, or moving. We just sat there with our lips touching. I can smell his sweet cologne that I always adored, and I love the feeling of his soft lips on mine. We pull away and he smiles so bright and I can't help but smile, too. When it lightened up we walked the rest of the way home in silence, holding each other's hands. We stop in front of my place and he hugs me one last time before he heads towards his frat house. I walk inside and just stop when realization hits me.

What did I just do?
