Chapter Eighteen

*Niall's POV*

It killed me yelling at Isabella but I knew if I didn't Mesha would somehow get me in trouble. I see her from where I am standing, and she looks like she is perfectly happy without me. And that killed me even more. “Are you having a good time?” Perrie asked me, breaking me out of my thoughts. I glance at Isabella one more time and turn to her. “Umm, yeah. A blast!” I say trying to sound as cheerful as possible. But, judging by Perrie's face, it didn't work. “Look, this sucks for me just as much as it does for you.” I looked at her puzzled. “If you have somewhere else to be-” She cut me off. “It's not that.” She looked away from me. “Then what is it?” She let out a big sigh and pulled me towards the wall. “You think I enjoy seeing Zayn with Isabella? Because I don't. The reason I didn't like her is because Zayn did. Don't get me wrong, she is a wonderful person and I see that now. But, I love Zayn probably just as much as you love Isabella.” “Then why would you help Zayn get with her?” “Because, I wanted him to be happy.” “I understand. That's the reason I tired to let it slide.” “Well, you half understand.” “What do you mean?” I ask tilting my head to the side. “The whole time you were dating Isabella, Zayn was coming up with different ways to break you all up. And who do you think he came to for help?” “You?” I guessed. “Yeah. So, I had to hear all about how you weren't good enough for Isabella. And all this stupid crap. And I got tired of it.” “So what did you do?” She laughed. “I gave him really stupid ideas to try to break you two up. And before you say anything, I knew none of them would work. Well, at least that's what I thought.” “What do you mean?” I asked not liking the sound of that. “Well, I gave him stupid ideas like. Put a secret admirer note in her locker to piss him off. Or pretend to be some girl that you're dating. Which that one might have worked if he would have used another number other then his.” “Continue.” “Well, I gave another friend of mine advice that Zayn overheard. You see, I was actually trying to help her and Zayn just happen to walk in at the right time for him. Wrong time for us.” “What did he do?” I ask getting angry. “Well, I told my friend that she should tell the girls mom that the couple was sleeping together. Knowing her mom was the kind to get upset about that. And since Zayn heard that, he went and told your mom that you and Isabella were. I don't know if you were or not. But, anyway then your mom got pissed and Zayn told her not to mention anything about it. But, she made you break up with her anyway.” “So it was Zayn's fault?!?!? Zayn is the reason my mom made me break up with the girl I really thought I was going to be with forever?” “Well, it was kinda my fault too.” “Don't blame yourself. You were trying to keep us together. I swear! I thought he was my friend! I told him everything! And I bet he wasn't trying to help my get over Isabella for my benefit was he?” Perrie shook her head. “Niall, I'm sorry. But I think I have a way for you to get Isabella and me to possibly get Zayn.” “How?” “Well, we all know Isabella still loves you. And I happen to know, she wants to be with you still, but is trying to get over it.” “How do you know?” “Eleanor and I are super close and I managed to get it out of her.” She tells me pointing the girl Louis is dancing with. “Okay, what do I need to do?” “Well, we have to split up Isabella and Zayn. And I know two people who can help. Well, since they have dates four.” I look at her confused. “You get Liam and his date I will get the other two. Alright?” I nod and head in Liam's direction. When I reach him I tap him in the back. “Yes? Oh hey Niall.” “Follow me please and bring your date.” “Why?” “Just please.” I pleaded. He grabs his dates hand, I think he said her name was Danielle? I don't know. Anyway, I spot Perrie and walk towards her. I see she has Ashlyn and Harry with her, we all walk towards the doors. Once outside Perrie and I look at everyone. “Okay, so we have a plan.” “Raise your hand if you like the idea of Isabella and Zayn.” Perrie spoke up and no one raised their hands. “I just want to see her happy.” Liam and Ashlyn said in unison. “I understand that and so do I. But, there is something you guys don't know.” I told everyone. “And that is?” Harry pressed, giving me the evil eye. “Perrie.” I say and she nods. “Zayn is the reason Isabella and Niall broke up. Well, it's also partly my fault.” “How?” Liam asks. “He told my mom Isabella and I were sleeping together. And you know how my mom is.” I say looking at Liam and Harry. “Yeah, you don't tell her things like that.” Liam said. “So why are we out here?” Ashlyn snapped. “We need your help. We know Zayn isn't going to leave Isabella's side tonight. And Not only do I need to talk to Isabella but Perrie needs to talk to Zayn.” “Again why are we here?” Harry asked. “Okay we need you and Danielle is it?” She nods. “Okay, You two need to get Zayn away from Isabella and to Perrie.” I say looking at Harry. “And Liam and Ashlyn I need you to get Isabella away from Zayn and to me. Will you help?” “Why do we have to split up from our dates?” Harry asked. “Because, Zayn likes you and doesn't know her. And Isabella trusts Liam and Ashlyn. Plus, Liam and Ashlyn both don't like Zayn.” They all nod, “But, wait why should we trust you? You stood up for Mesha.” Ashlyn pointed out. “I know, I know. But if I didn't I would have been in trouble by my mom and her dad. You don't understand. She has them wrapped around her little finger.” “Makes sense, Gemma used to do that.” Harry said. “So, will you help us? Because we have about an hour and a half until prom ends.” Perrie asked. They all looked at each other and nodded. “Yeah, we'll help.”
