*Niall's POV*
Today was going to be perfect. I was going to take her to one of my favorite cafes that I knew she would love. Then afterwards we were going to go to the fair that was in town. It was going to be along the beach and I even packed our swim suits incase we wanted to go swimming in the ocean. I had everything planned out. I spent the whole night imagining the day ahead. When I woke up I could barely contain myself. I walk into the lounge only to see Holly telling us she was going to be with Austin for the day.
Austin. I should be blaming him for this. If Holly hadn't ran into him that one night, none of this would have ever happened. We would be swimming in the beach, having a splash fight right now, but no, I'm walking in a park, kicking a pebble around trying to keep my mind occupied. I kick it again and it goes skidding into a pond. I sigh before looking into the water. A reflection of two people sitting across the lake on a bench catches my attention. I look up and see the two people I didn't want to see. Austin and Holly were sitting on a bench. Both with coffees in their hands. Holly was laughing at something Austin had said. I clenched my fist before running in the opposite direction towards a forest.
I zigzag in between the trees before I trip over a branch and start to fall towards the leaf-covered forest floor. My hands catch my fall and it didn't take long before I was scrambling back upwards and sprinting onwards. I was trying to ignore the pain in my left ankle, but it was too much. Single tears started rolling down my cheeks as I continued through the greenery.
I stopped running when my lungs were burning, begging for oxygen. I rested my head against a tree catching my breath. My fists were still clenched as the thought of Austin and Holly were replaying in my mind.
"FOR FUCKS SAKES!" I yelled out before slamming my fist against the bark of the tree I was using as a shoulder to lean on moments before.
Holly was supposed to be mine today. I was going to make her mine when we were watching the fireworks on the beach after our splash fight, after I won her a teddy bear at the fair, after we got cotton candy and popcorn. Yes, I was planning for it to be a date. Our first date even though she woudn't have realized it until afterwards.
I took a deep breath. Maybe I was overreacting?
No, I answered myself, no. Holly will be mine. Austin can't have her and I will be sure of it. I WILL be better than him. I have to prove myself to her. Let the games begin Austin.
*Holly's POV*
Why am I such a bad friend?! I forget about Niall, I make Louis upset and I even forgot to get bacon. Why do I suck at life? Atleast Destiny still likes me. Right? I go to look up from the couch where I was currently sprawled on, hoping to see Destiny there smiling at me, but instead I saw a glaring Zayn. I winced before looking back down at my phone. Niall hasn't gotten back yet and it was nine at night. I was worried sick about him.
Austin was not even close to as good as a friend as Niall was. I was just excited that a boy asked me to go somewhere. This was a first to me and I got too excited and said yes without thinking.
I unlocked my phone again and opened up the messages app before composing a new message to the one and only... Niall.
I'm so so sorry. I'm such a terrible friend. Please come back to the bus, though. I'm worried sick and we need to talk. :(
I'm sorry!!! Please come back!
Please respond.
Niall?
I was getting anxious and I was sending message after message hoping he would reply. All the boys knew what happened, well except for Louis. He was with Destiny the whole day apperently. I'm glad she's succeeding in her friendship life.
