Niall’s POV (Ooh, this is different!)

 

She’s sitting next to me. She is sitting next to me. I’m trying not to freak out. I’ve always known about Abigail, I’ve watched her singing before I ever met her. Before any of the boys met her. I’m going to end up with her someday.

It’s been two days since the TwitCam. Abigail slept over that night in Liam’s bed which I’m very upset about but it doesn’t mean anything especially since Liam decided to sleep on the couch and not the bed.

“Hey, Liam, do you know if Abigail is coming over tonight?”

“No, she isn’t.”

“Well do you mind if she does?” I ask.

“She’s busy tonight.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I made plans with her,” he says before doing his hair in the bathroom mirror.

“Plans?” I say in a serious tone. There’s no way he…

“I asked her on a date.”

He what? I walk out of the bathroom as calmly as I possibly can, feeling a tear or two falls down my cheek. I wipe it away violently.

Men don’t cry.

 

She’s mine. I had her first. I deserve her. I reach my room and slam the door close, not trying to make a scene but just doing it out of pure anger and sadness.

I pick up my guitar and throw it to the floor. I shove everything off my dresser with hot tears running down my face, not caring to wipe them away this time.

Men don’t cry.

 

Zayn bursts through the door, prepared to yell at me before he sees the state I’m in. He pulls me in a hug, letting me cry into his shoulder. He lets me cry until I can’t cry anymore. I feel like a baby; I’m so weak and I hate myself for it.

This is why no girl likes you, Niall.

 

“What happened?” Zayn asked. So I told him. I told him everything. He comforted me when I finished, telling me that it isn’t too late to have her as my princess.

“But Liam acted before me and she said yes. What if she likes Liam instead of me? What if I waited too long? What if it’s too late?”

“It’s never too late.” He says, looking me in the eyes. He cups my cheek and gives me a light kiss on the lips.

No, I’m kidding. I’ve read a few Ziall fanfictions. Trust me. And I can assure you that they aren’t true at all. We’re just best friends, I swear.
