*Sapphire's Point Of View*
I woke up to someone banging on the front door. I looked at my clock, how is it 11:30 in the morning already? I got up, not caring to change before going to the door. I forced myself from the comfort of my bed to go down stairs. I checked to see who it was, Hannah and Victoria, maybe it won't be so bad after all. I put on a smile and opened the door. "Hey, what's up?" I asked, letting them inside.
"We've got something to show you, and you are not going to like it." Tori said looking down. Hannah took out her phone and started typing something in. She only took a few seconds before clicking something, and handed me her phone.
I felt my heart speed up, and tears come to my eyes. I walked to the couch and sat down. I couldn't stop looking at tis picture. Why was Niall kissing this girl? I keep searching for any signs of this being fake. I just couldn't find any. Why would he do this to me? I thought he liked me? The screen went dark, and I didn't want to see it again. I handed Hannah her phone, and put my head in my hands. I didn't stop the tears from falling. I let them flow until I couln't anymore. I looked at Tori, then at Hannah. "Why would he do this? Doesn't he 'love' me?" I asked. I didn't know what to say anymore.
"Of course he does. But e don't know the reason behind all of this." Hannah said sitting next to me. Tori sat on the other side of me, putting her arm around me for comfort. "Maybe he got lonely or something." Hannah suggested.
"That doesn't make this any better Hannah. Come on. Really?" Tori said looking at her.
I stood un and walked into the kitchen. I got a glass of water and walked back into the living room. I heard a knock at the door, but I didn't really care who it was at the moment. "It's probably our mom. She said she would be back in thirty minutes." Tori said. "Love you!" They both said walking out. Leaving me with all these thoughts.
Why would he do this? Doesn't he know how much I love him? Does he not realize how much this has killed me already? And why did it look like he was enjoying it? Why wasn't he stoping it? Does he really love me like they say? Why do I even care? We aren't together. This shouldn't even make me blink an eye.
I was brought back to reality by the phone ringing in the kitchen. I don't really care though. I just stay where I am letting the machine take it. But I listened close to find out who it is.
"Hey, it's da. Just wanted to let you know that I will be late getting home tonight. I'm not sure what time, but it will be late. If you need anything just call me. I love you sweetheart."
Another late night? Dustin and I are going to have to talk. I heard another knock at the door, why must people bother me today? Don't they understand how heart broken I am? I stood up and walked ot the door. I'm not even going to check. I don't really care for much of anything at this point.
I pulled the door open and wished I had checked to see who it was. Standing before me was the one and only Niall James Horan. The Niall James Horan who just broke my heart. I stood there and just looked at him, with no smile on my face. He wasn't smiling either. "What do you want?" I finally asked.
"So you've seen the picture then?" He said looking down.
I could feel the tears coming to my eyes again. "Yeah. About an hour ago. Hannah and Victoria came over to show me." I said. Some tears escaped, but I quickly wiped them away.
He looked up, "please don't cry Sapphire. That wasn't ever supposed to happen." He said to me.
"Well it did happen Niall. Unless someone photo shopped it." I said, hoping that was it.
He looked around, then at his feet. "Well, unfortunately it wasn't. That actually did happen... Last night... After the show." Great. All hope is lost now.
I turned around walking into the kitchen, he wasn't far behind me. I felt more tears fall down my cheeks. I'm not going to wipe them away this time. I walked to the counter and pretended to move things around. I don't want to even look at him right now. I just can't believe what he did. I can't stop seeing it in my mind. Looking at him only makes it worse.
"Sapphire, please turn around and look at me. I know you're not moving things around. You've just moved the salt seven times, and every other time has been back to where it started. Please just turn around and look at me." Niall said softly. I
I wiped the tears from my cheeks and turned around. I couldn't stop him from seeing a few tears escape the corner of my eyes. I looked him in the eyes, seeing some tears coming to his eyes too.
Why is he going to cry? He's the one that hurt me. I started to get really angry. "Why are you about to cry? You're the one that hurt me!" I yelled at him.
"Sapphire, please jus-" I cut him off.
"Niall, you don't have to say anything. I saw the picture. What more is there to explain? I thought you cared about how I feel.. I thought you loved me..." I stopped. I didn't know what else to say, letting tears fall down my face.
He walked up to me, trying to wipe away my tears. I ducked under his arm and walked to where he was standing before. He turned around and sighed. "You don't understand..."
"What don't I understand Niall?" I yelled. "That you kissed some girl last night? That you get lonely on tour? Do I not call you enough? Do you just not care anymore?"
"You know what Sapphire, I don't understand why you even care! We aren't even together!" Niall yelled back at me.
I calmed down a little bit, looking at my feet. "Do you want to know what I don't understand?" I said to him.
"What?" He asked, clearly still angry.
I looked him in the eyes, more tears coming. I let some fall down my face. "I don't understand how I could fall in love with someone who is such an asshole! Someone I used to call my best friend!" I said before turning and running from the kitchen to my room.
*Niall's Point Of View*
"I don't understand how I could fall in love with someone who is such an asshole! Someone I used to call my best friend!" Sapphire said to me. She ran out of the kitchen, I just stood here like an idiot. She's in love with me? I knew she loved me, but in love with me?
I heard her bedroom door slam shut. Now is my chance. I made my way from the kitchen to her room upstairs. I take a deep breath and knock on her door.
"Go away Niall. I have nothing to say to you." She yelled. Ouch. This is gonna be tough.
I sighed but spoke through the door. "Please Sapphire. You man not have anything to say to me. But I have a lot of things I'd like to say to you.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm so sorry it was ridiculously long. But there was a lot happening and I didn't know when to cut to the next chapter. So there you have it. Hope you liked it. Vote if I should continue, because I'm not sure just yet.
