Paige's POV:

I ran to the car, literally sprinting through the restaurant and pushing innocent passerby's out of my way. Niall had a girlfriend... I had to let that sink in. I flung open the car door, slipping into the drivers seat. Once I was inside and the doors were close I finally let a few tears fall. How could I have been so stupid? He probably felt sorry for me and agreed to go on a date. It didn't mean anything to him, why should it? He had a fucking girlfriend. I angrily wiped my tears away, he didn't deserve them. It was my fault anyway. I shouldn't have actually believed that we had something. It's my fault for allowing myself to pretend that I could fall in love with someone.

"God damnit!" I yelled, banging my fist onto the steering wheel.

I was so pathetic, serves me right. He was just being nice and I took it as something else. I started driving, not sure here I would end up. I pulled over in front of the gym. I stormed inside, changing into the workout shorts and tank top from my locker. I warmed up with the speed bag. Unlike most other girls I'd spent my whole childhood doing kickboxing. I kept in shape and even did a few mma competitions here and there. Needless to say I could take care of myself just fine. I spent the next few hours working out. Mainly in the ring sparing anyone who was brave enough to step in with me. I was fueled by anger and whooped everyone's ass. I had to say it felt good, I didn't need Niall. I didn't need anyone.

After my workout I drove home and took a much needed shower. I always took long showers, just standing and letting the hot water run down my body. Hadley hadnt gotten home yet, so it was me myself and I. I decided to turn in early. However my mind had other thoughts, mainly Niall. I wanted to be mad at him, I wanted To hate him and be furious. I just.. Wasn't. If he asked me to forgive i would. It was absolutely disgusting, even after what he did I still liked him. I probably should have deleted his number and never talk to him again. Actually I wanted to talk to him, to hear that adorable accent. Because he was the only one who could say that I heard wrong. Or mabye it was some kind of sick joke. That he actually did care for me..

I let out a sigh, looking up at my dark ceiling. As I said before, I was pathetic. I wasn't even mad at him, but I should be. And I could act like I was. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. I can make sure there won't be a second time. I'll build up my walls again, and this time I won't let anyone in. I'll be safely tucked away from anyone but me and Hadley. Just like it should be.

I woke up the next morning to a soft rapping on my door.

"Paige? Are you up?" It was Hadley.

"Yeah I'm up. Wanna go get some food? I'm starving." I asked, braiding my hair back.

"Actually there food out in the living room already," that was weird. Hadley never cooked, and we usually ate together. "The.. The boys are all here, and so is Jade."

Here, Niall was here? Wait no, I'm mad at him. And Jade, she was here too.

"What!" I yelled, opening the door and tugging her into my room. "How could you let her come here? Hadley what the hell, are you trying to make me mad?"

She held her hands up, shaking her head quickly.

"I didn't know they were all coming, I thought it would be just Liam. They all kinda tagged along. And then Jade showed up. Please come out though, they wanna see you." She offered with a smile.

"Fine, I guess. But only because I'm starving." Hadley gave me a grateful smile then pulled me down the stairs and into the open dining/living room space.

All the boys were sat around the Telly, but I only had eyes for Niall. He was sitting in a chair, Jade squished onto his lap. I swear his eyes light up when he saw me, but that was probably because that's what I wanted to see. Plus I was supposed to hate him. I scowled at Niall, sitting in between Hadley and Zayn. Louis and Harry were on the floor in front of the sofa, trying to catch chips in their mouths.

"Paige, think fast!" Louis yelled, throwing one at my face.

I tilted my head up, catching it neatly in my mouth. He looked so disappointed I couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry Lou. Have to be faster than that."

In response he shoved his whole hand the bag and threw it at me. I reached over, pouring the rest onto his head. Before I knew it we were all in a full fleged food fight. Everyone joined in, throwing whatever we could find. Louis found a water bottle and held it towards me.

"Surrender!" He demanded.

"Or what?" I asked, sticking my tongue out and dancing away from him.

"Boys you know what to do." He said. Suddenly I felt two hands grab me from behind and force me to the floor. Zayn pinned me down, smirking, as Harry tickled me.

I was laughing hysterically, until someone screamed from the other side of the room.

"Ow!" Jade screeched.

"I broke a freaking nail! Owww." She whined, running towards Niall. With a sigh I got up, brushing off some dorrito dust.

"Come on I have to go get this fixed now!" Jade said, pulling Niall out the door.

With that they were gone. Wow, was this jealousy? Yeah that was it, I was jealous of Jade. She didn't deserve someone like Niall. But obviously he liked her so fine let them have each other. I was fine.

"Come on, we should clean this up." Liam said, starting to pick up the food scattered across the room.

We spent a while cleaning then the boys had to go for a practice before tomorrow's show.

"Bye babe!" Liam called, having already had several good bye kisses, the boys closed the door and drove off.


Hadley's POV:

Once the boys were gone I turned to Paige. She groaned, picking bits of chips out of her hair.

"I think I'm going to take a nap. God they have so much energy." She laid out on the couch, pulling a blanket over her.

She said she was tired, but I could tell that wasnt it. I sat near her feet, narrowing my eyes.

"You still like Niall don't you?" I asked.

Her silence was enough to answer my growing suspicion.

"You do! Oh my gosh how can you still like him? After what he did bringing in that bitch Jade?"

Paige just groaned, putting her head into her hands.

"Yes, no, I don't know. I want to be mad but I'm not. I can't be mad at him Hadley."

I got up pulling her off the coach.

"Fine then Ill be mad enough for the both of us. Now get ready we're going shopping."

"Had, no I'm not in the mood!" Paige groaned, trying to sit back down.

"I'm literally not takin no for an answer. Now get your ass up stairs and get dressed." Paige managed a small smile and stomped up stairs o change.

I picked out a cute out fit for myself. A crop top with a British flag on it, jeans, and some cute boots. Once we were both ready I drove us to the mall. Time to cheer Paige up. We shopped for hours, takin several breaks to eat. It was all in all a great time. I think I got her mind off Niall, she certainly seemed happier. We drove home, the windows all down and the music loud. Once I pulled into the drive way Paige went strangely quite. I looked up on the porch, and sitting there was who I least expected.

"You get your ass off my porch or ill move it for you!" I yelled, waving a fist in Nialls face.

His face went red and I was about to slap him, but Paige touched my shoulder.

"No Hadley, can we talk?" She asked, motioning towards Niall.

She looked so scared that I wanted to just stay in between her and Niall. But they needed to talk, he had some apologizing to do.

"Fine, ill just be in the kitchen. Where the knives are," I added over my shoulder, "did I mention I took self defense classes?"

Paige shot me a look so I closed the door. Once inside I threw our bags onto the coffe table. After a few minutes I got worried. What were they talking about? Mabye they made up, Paige forgave to easily but that could be a good thing. He just better not hurt her, she had enough of that to last a lifetime. Just before I was ready to go get her the door opened then slammed. I saw Paige's feet as she sprinted up the stairs and slammed her door shut. I ran up free her but it was locked. The only sound I could hear was muffled sobbing.

"Paige?" I called, but the sobbing didn't change.

I figured it was one of those times I should just leave it alone and let her cry. Boy Niall better watch his back, this was twice he and hurt Paige. As her best friend he might as well have hurt me. No way he was getting off easy this time.
