Your Greatest Mistake

Chapter Three

Niall's POV

She didn't even want to see me. I had been gone for a while and she didn't even care? Zayn walked over to us.

"She doesn't want to talk." He said.

"But, why?" I asked.

He shook his head and shrugged. I looked over at Cat and Ana. Maybe they could explain this. I motioned to the boys to walk over to them with me.

"Would anyone like to explain what's going on here?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Cat questioned.

"I thought she would be so excited to see me. But she doesn't even care." I said with a frown.

"Oh she does care, that's the problem actually." Ana said.

"Huh, I'm confused here." I said.

"You do remember you broke up with her, right?" Ana asked.

"Yeah, but it was for the best so she wasn't lonely. Only until I got back." I told them.

"You never said only until you got back! All you told her was that you thought it was for the best if things ended!" Cat shouted.

"Wasn't that understood?" I asked awkwardly.

"No!" Both girls yelled.

"What happened after I broke up with her?" I shouted.

"A lot. She became extremely depressed. She didn't leave the house. I've never seen her that bad before. You really hurt her. She even started smoking to relieve some of her stress. We got her to stop for the most part but, Niall you really messed up with her." Cat explained.

"Oh shit. No, I never meant to hurt her! I just, ugh no! I need to go after her!" I yelled.

I went to turn and Zayn grabbed my shoulder.

"Mate, don't. She just really wanted to be alone. You have to respect that." Zayn said.

I sighed and looked down. I never meant to hurt Riley.

Riley's POV

I got home and ran up to my room. I had fought off the tears until I walked away from Zayn. Once I was far enough, I broke down. Seeing him made everything bad again. It made me want to curl up in fetal position and cry for hours. He broke me and then acted like it never happened? How could he do that? I locked the door of my room and sat down on my bed. I wiped my eyes and tried to calm down. I put my head on my pillow and decided that I wanted to sleep. He needed to realize that I wasn't his anymore. I was almost asleep when I heard a noise. I looked towards the window and saw something hitting it. I walked over to the window and saw that someone was throwing pebbles. It was Niall. Cliche much?
