Chapter Seven

Natalie's POV:

That afternoon, I spent time in my room. I was ripping up any picture I had of Bryan, my ex. Ever since Harry brought it up, I've been feeling like I have to throw up. It was a weird feeling.

"Natalie, Nialls here!" My mom called from downstairs.

Hopefully, none of his friends were with him. Don't get me wrong, I liked them but some of the things they say can upset me. I'm very sensative.

"Coming" I yelled putting my box of pictures under my bed.

"Hey Niall" I greet him when I come to the living room, where he was waiting.

"Hey, I'm sorry about earlier. They were just curious" He said standing up.

"That's okay. It really didn't matter that much" I replied.

"Really?, cuz you looked pretty upset aferwards" He said.

"Look, can we not talk about it now? Meet me in the park tonight at six and we can talk about it then yeah?" I said.

"Sure. See you at six"He said walking out of the living room.

After he left, I ran upstairs, on the verge of tears. How was I going to tell him about Bryan? I just couldn't. Why did I even offer to tell him? I was an idiot.

*AT THE PARK*

I sat on the bench near the pond, waiting for Niall to show up. It was five minutes until six and he wasn't hear yet. Thank God I was wearing waterproof mascara. I knew I was going to burst into tears. I hated crying infront of people. This was going to be hard.

"Hey" I heard a voice behind me. It was Niall.

" Hey" I responded.

"So...This guy who cheated on you twice, what's his name?" He questioned.

"Bryan" I replied.

"And this Bryan guy, where does he live?" He asked.

"New York" I said. I could feel myself shaking already.

"So, tell me everything" He said,like a brother I never had.

"Okay,um... We met at Lake High in New York. He showed me around on my first day and it turned out he was in all of my classes. He was my only friend. He asked me out for coffee and I said yes. We dated for a few weeks and I already had feelings for him. Then one day, he said he was sick. But after school, I saw him at the Cafe. With another girl. He called me that night for the 10th time so I answered. And I told him I saw him with the other girl. He said that it was a big mistake going out with her and he was sorry and that I was over reacting. Then he said he loved me. And I gave him a second chance." I said, running out of breath.

"That bastard!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah. Then he wasn't in school for a few days. He texted me saying his grandmother died and that he needed to be with his family. Then that Saturday I saw him at the gym, yet again with another girl. This only happened a few weeks after I confronted him. I walked up to him and said that I thought your grandma died. He said yeah she did but a few weeks ago. I walked away but then he grabbed my arm. I said we're done and shook lose of his grip, and I haven't talked to him since" I said finishing my story.

"So, he not only cheated on you but he lied, too?" He asked.

"Yeah pretty much" I said. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"Hey, don't cry. You shouldn't cry over some asshole you didn't even love you" He said in a soothing voice.

He lifted up my chin, so I was looking him in the eyes. He then took my hand in his and pulled me into a hug. I buried my face in the crook of his neck.

"Thank you" I mumbled into his neck, tears rolling down my face.

"Your welcome" He said gently.

This is why we are best friends. He always knew how to make me feel better and how to comfort me. And I loved him for that.
