She Will Be Loved

Chapter 5: Make ups

Hey, about to see what happened with Niall and Paige. Please PLEASE give suggestions! We really would appreciate feedback of any kind. Ily all so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paige's POV:

The mall was fun. Well actually I hated shopping, but spending time with Hadley was always great. I guess I needed some cheering up after seeing Niall and Jade. Even though I was supposed to be mad at him, I couldn't help but think that should be me. So when I saw him sitting on our porch, my heart skipped a beat. Hadley was still furious with him, she took it as her job to project me. So before she could chase him off I intervened.

"Please can we talk?" I asked, motioning towards Niall.

Hadley sighed but obliged, sending a final scowl his way.Once she was inside it was just me and Niall out on the porch.

"Hi." He said, running a hand through his hair nervously.

"Hey," Was my intelligent reply. I was scared about what he was going to say, had I done something wrong?

"Listen I just wanted to tell you that me and Jade-" Before he could continue I cut him off.

Just her name made my blood boil, and here he was. Probably to get advice on how to ask her something, well he wasnt going to get it from me.

"Listen I don't wanna hear whatever it is. What, your getting married? Cool. Having a baby? I don't fucking care. So good night." I snapped, turning on my heel to open the door.

But before I could get to the door Niall grabbed my other hand.

"No wait please." He begged.

I had to admit he sounded desperate. I couldn't bring myself to open to door. So I turned to face him. He looked relived and took a step closer, now we were only about a foot apart.

"Ok just please listen to me," he said, not even waiting for a reply, "I came here to tell you that I broke up with Jade. And I'm so so sorry. For everything. I didn't mean to hurt you, please forgive me?"

Remeber what I said earlier, about how I wasn't mad? And if he asked me to forgive him I would. Well just like that I forgave him, pathetic right?

"I...," My voice trembled and I cleared my throat before continuing, " I forgive you." I whispered, still not believing I broke that easy.

But the adorable smile that crept onto Nialls face instantly made my doubts vanish. He pulled me into a hug and I have to say it felt like that's where I belonged. Safe inside his embrace, my arms wrapped around his neck.

"So are we good?" He asked, pulling apart so our faces were inches away from each other.

"Yeah we're good." I replied, wrapping a lock of his hair around my finger.

We both just stood there for a minute, I could see myself reflected in his impossibly blue eyes. Before I knew what was happening we were both leaning in. I could feel his hot breath washing over my face.His eyes were shining with emotion, just like my own. I wanted to kiss him, so bad. But I couldn't. At the last second I turned my head, and Niall's lips landed on my cheek. He looked at me questionly and I pushed him back, shaking my head.

"I can't, I'm..I'm sorry. Friends?"

I couldn't hear his reply over my own chocked back sobs. He looked so completely broken, and it was all my fault. I ran through the front door and up the stairs. Angrily slamming my door behind me and throwing myself onto my bed. Tears splattered onto my sheets. I was stupid, so incredibly stupid. I wanted to kiss him, but I didn't. Because I couldn't. I was scared to, because I had already fallen for him. If I kissed him then that would be that for me. would be completely head over heels in love. And if he didn't feel the same, well I couldn't come back from another heart break. I had to stop myself before it was to late.

Hadley's POV:

I found Paige downstairs in the morning, curled up on the sofa watching Glee.

"Hey. Wanna tell me what happened?" I asked, sitting in the chair opposite her.

Paige groaned, pulling the blanket over her head. "I don't wanna talk about it."

So I left her alone and we watched the tv for a while. I knew she would tell me eventually, she always did.

"He.. We.. We almost kissed." Paige said out of the blue.

I turned, my eyes widening in surprise.

"You did what? He has a girlfriend, and how do you almost kiss someone?"

"He broke up with Jade. And apologized, and I forgave him. Then we were going to kiss but.. I panicked. I stopped him." Paige said, looking at the floor.

She looked so sad, and I knew why. Ever since Carter, she was so afraid to become attached to anyone. Sure we had friends but I was the only one she would share things with, and mabye Niall didn't know it but he single handedly broke down all of the walls Paige had so carefully built up over the year.

"So you friend zoned him?"

"Yeah," she said miserably.

"Well I'm sure you can work things out, we'll find you someone else. Someone better." I said, stroking the top of her head.

"I have a lunch date with Liam. Maybe you could go with one of the other lads. How about Harry? He's cute." I said, nudging Paige's shoulder encouragingly.

She just shook her head. "No you go have fun. I don't want anyone else.." She sighed, pulling the blanket over her head again.

"Ok, I'll be back later. Call me if you want anything." I said, hearing a honk from outside.

I jumped into the car, giving Liam a peck on the cheek.

"Hey babe, where are we eating?" I asked, skipping through different stations on the radio.

"Its a surprise."He replies, turning the key into ignition and pulling away from the curb.

I gave my consent and he drove towards the mystery date.

Nialls POV:

I fucked up so bad. Everything had gone wrong. I hurt Paige, and now she was scared of me. If I asked I know she would deny it, but I saw the fear in her eyes. I wanted her to kiss me, I wanted to have her be mine and I could be hers. Now that wouldn't happen. Unless I could win her trust, maybe just maybe. I had to try.

"Niall! I'm going out with Hadley, tell Zayn he's in charge."

"Wait! " I yelled, jumping off of the couch and running towards the door where Liam stood waiting.

"What? He asked, anxiously looking out te door.

"What's Hadley's home phone?" I asked.

He gave me a weird look but wrote it down before running towards his car and rushing off to see Hadley.

"Hey you boys up for some fun?" I asked.

"Eh sure." Zayn mumbled, half asleep.

"Depends." Harry said around a bite of the burger he was eating.

"If it includes Paige, which it does by the look on your face, then I'm all for it. I need to get her back for that food fight." Louis yelled, ginning mischievously.

Perfect, operation win back Paige was a go.
