They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 27 Harry /

I felt so stupid when I saw the purple marks on Gwen's arms. I also felt stupid when she shouted at me. Why did I ever do that? Now Gwen would never forgive me. Why did I even make her choose?

Zayn and I talked about it the next day and it actually worked. We were about to fight until I calmed myself down and we both shook on it. We also both agreed that we had to apologize to Gwen for making her choose. Turns out we were both feeling the same way. We didn't want this to happen again so we made a pact. We shouldn't fight over girls anymore. We would let the girl choose whoever she wants to be with or none of us.

But I had to admit, I really wanted Gwen to choose me. I didn't know I was that desperate. Maybe because I really hated to be single and Gwen was the first girl who made me feel this way. I wanted to experience what it feels like being loved by someone else.

Zayn and I went to Gwen's house, but no one was home. We thought because she was in a photo shoot or something so we agreed to go back to Gwen's house next time.

So we went back to the studio and what we saw was the lads and Jasmine with a frown while their were tears on her face. When she saw both Zayn and I, she suddenly scowled at us.

"What happened?" I asked. "Where's Gwen?"

Jasmine glared at us. "You want to know where Gwen is? She left. She went back to America." I was shocked at what Jasmine said. Did we push her too far? "And it was all because of you guys!" She said standing up.

"She left for you guys! Did you know what she sacrificed? She didn't want to ruin you guys' friendship so she left! She thought everything would be better if she wasn't here because it'll ruin your friendship fighting over her!" Jasmine explained.

I wa surprised Gwen did that for us. She didn't want to ruin Zayn and I's friendship so she left. She left because of us. She didn't want us to fight over her. Ugh, I feel so guilty!

"If you guys didn't fight, my best friend should have stayed here! But no. You guys just had to fight. Are you really that desperate?!" Jasmine continued. "Do you know what you guys have done?"

I felt more guilty. I bet Zayn also felt the same way as me. We pushed Gwen too far and this is what happened. I blamed my jealousy. I was so jealous of Zayn because Gwen loves him. I was jealous that people around me are in a relationship. I was jealous of everything. Man, I'm stupid. And this is what happens when you're jealous. I should have thought more about this.

"Do you know when she's coming back?" Zayn asked.

"No. I don't even think she's coming back!" Jasmine shouted. "I hate you guys so much for making my best friend leave!"

"Baby," Liam stood next to Jasmine and tried to calm her down. We all don't want Jasmine to explode. It doesn't look good, so we try not to make her very angry. You wouldn't want to see Jasmine explode.

Jasmine shut her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I can't help it. I-I just miss her okay." Jasmine calmed down. "I know you guys are going to apologize to her, but it's too late." Jasmine walked away with Liam.

"We're too late." I mumbled again. "I'm so stupid!" I said.

"We have to apologize her some way." Zayn suggested.

"You can't just leave without the management knowing." Louis said. "We still have work to do here."

"And even if you do try to speak with them, they still won't let you." Niall added. "Don't feel bad, guys. Maybe Gwen just needed some time for herself and wanted some privacy. She might just want to get out of trouble." Niall reassured us.

"And you heard what Jasmine said. She doesn't want you guys to be ruined." Louis said.

Zayn and I looked at each other. "Can you believe she did that?" Zayn smirked. "She must really care about our friendship."

"Yeah." I smiled. "Maybe it's better if we don't fight about girls." We both chuckled. "She really does care about both of us."

"So you lads shouldn't fight anymore so Gwen could come back." Niall said. "Jasmine said she'll come back when you guys are better. And then she'll decide if she's coming back or not."

I smile at the thought of Gwen. I couldn't believe she really cared about my friendship Zayn.

"Do you know what she's doing in America?" I asked.

"Jasmine said she has work. She's doing a photoshoot and working on a movie." Louis answered.

"We definitely shouldn't fight over a girl ever again." Zayn said. I chuckled at him.

"True." I smiled.

"We pushed her too far. This is what happened." Zayn pointed out.

"But did you hear that?" I asked. "She really cares about our friendship. She thinks that our friendship is more important." I said.

"Well, we're mates." Zayn said. "We shouldn't fight. Were not just a band, we're more than that."

We all smiled at Zayn. He was right. Friendship is more important than girls.

"Pals before gals right?" I said. We all chuckled.

And it is true. Friends before relationships. We have to be good with friends first before we love because everything would be messed up. We shouldn't forget about our friends when we are in a relationship, even if we aren't in a relationship. We have to understand our friends first before being in a relationship.

Now I understood why Gwen left. I always knew she was smart. She wanted us to work out Zayn and I's problem because she knows friends are important. And also because she didn't want to ruin things between me and Zayn.

If Gwen stayed here longer, I don't even think One Direction would still be here. I think that we're all going to split up if Zayn and I fight more. One Direction would be over if we didn't work out our problems.

If we all hated each other, we're all done. And I know not only all of us will be dissapointed, even the fans would be dissapointed. They wouldn't hear us anymore. Directioners wouldn't exist anymore. No one would remember One Direction in the future. And we all won't be best mates anymore. We're all going to be strangers. We would all have our different lives and I know we will regret this if it happens.

Gwen did the right thing. She made the right decision. She needed to have a vacation from the fights Zayn and I had. She did need to think about herself right now. She should live her life without any interruptions. I know she doesn't want to live in a life where there are full of arguments and frustration.

I would do the same thing if I were in Gwen's position. I won't handle those endless fighting and frustration. I would actually comit suicide if that happens. Gwen is a strong girl. I know that. I know she can control her life all on her own. She's that good.

I wished Gwen would forget all about what happened. She really deserved it.

Okay, so this is the chapter I will have to post on the One Shots. I'm missing a lot of Gwen's story in Los Angeles so please bear with me for writing the one shot. I know, I'm crappy!
