They Don't Know About Us

Madness

Meredith simply pushed past me, and grabbed her phone. I stared at her shocked as she answered her phone, "Hey baby," She said into the phone, "Sorry, I'm busy now, maybe tomorrow. Love you, too! Call me later? Okay, bye!"

She has another boyfriend?! How many guys is she dating? I'm scared to know... I need to find a way to stop this. I quickly grabbed my pad of paper and pen and wrote: You can't cheat on Niall with Liam!

"Oh, so how is the little mute bitch going to stop me?" Meredith replied, tauntingly. I didn't say anything. Meredith shrugged, "I don't care if you tell Liam."

I frowned at her laid back attitude. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Louis walked out, "Hey, are Liam and Zayn back yet?"

Meredith pushed past me, and over to Louis, "No, they're not back yet. Wanna help set up?" Meredith asked. Louis shrugged, "Sure, sounds good to me."

Meredith and Louis left, leaving me alone. I walked over to my bed, and sat on the edge of it. What am I going to do? I need to tell Liam. I can't let him date someone like Meredith. Who knows what she'll do to him. She could break his heart, and leave him devastated. Liam hasn't had a girlfriend in a long time, so if she breaks his heart, then it will really break his heart. I heave only one way to fix this. I have to tell him the truth. I started to write down what I'll give to Liam. Then, Liam and Zayn's voices filled the room next door. Okay, time to show Liam the note. I shoved the piece of paper in my pocket, and joined everyone else.

"Everyone ready to eat?" Liam asked. Harry had now arrived, so he joined everyone else. Chatter filled the room, as Liam and Zayn started setting up the food. The others grabbed plates and silverware and started dishing out the food. Everyone grabbed some food and started to eat. We sat on beds. I sat beside Harry. I could see him glancing down at me every now and then, as I ate. I glanced over at Niall, and saw him silently eating. He was only looking at his plate, rarely looking up. Louis, Zayn, Liam, and Meredith were happily chatting. None of the boys accept Niall knew about what was really going on. Nobody knows what's really happening. I glanced over at Harry who was silently beside me, eating. Why is Harry still here? Doesn't he want to join the others? I can't even talk, why does he stay beside me? Suddenly, I saw Liam standing up to get more food. Time to show him the note. I grabbed my plate, and casually walked over to Liam. I tapped his shoulder, and he looked down. I handed him the note. Liam looked at me suspiciously, but grabbed it anyways. He skimmed over it, reading it. When he was done, he looked over at me, and frowned, "What is this supposed to mean?" He asked, confused. I quickly wrote on the pad of paper: It's the truth.

"No, I'm not going to believe this lie!" Liam argued, raising his voice. Everyone was now looking at us.

"Meredith would never do this. She isn't like that. Stop lying to me, Nicole," Liam said.

"What's going on?" Zayn asked.

"Nicole is trying to tell me that Meredith is cheating on me," Liam told everyone. Meredith frowned, "Why would you think that, Nicole? I would never cheat on Liam. I love him."


I was now glaring at Meredith. I had an idea. I pointed over at Niall. Liam looked confused, "What does Niall have to do with any of it?"

Niall looked surprised at the mention of his name. He looked up, to see everyone now looking at him.

"Niall, do you know about this whole cheating thing?" Liam asked Niall. Niall paused for a moment, and answered, "No, I don't know what she's talking about."

I looked at Niall in disbelief. I glared at him, and stomped out of the room. I stomped into my room, and slammed the door behind me. I collapsed on my bed, sobbing. Why doesn't anyone believe me? And why is Niall lying? I know now that it is a good idea that I'm not dating him right now. How can I even trust him when he tells lies? Why is he making me look like the bad guy? I heard the door creak open. I looked up to see Harry walking in. I sat up, deciding to listen to what Harry had to say. Harry walked over to my bed, and sat beside me. He looked into my tear-stained eyes.

"I believe you," He said. I looked at him surprised.

"Ever since I met Meredith, she seemed suspicious," Harry said, "She just looks like the kind of girl who would do that. She always has a smirk on her face, and she seems so fake. It seems likely that she would go cheating on guys."

I quickly grabbed my pen and paper and wrote: What will we do?

"There isn't much we can do," Harry replied, "Liam is in love with her, and he won't believe us even if we do tell him. We'll just have to let him see himself, that's all we can do for now."

I wrote: I guess you're right.

The room fell silent, and I saw Harry staring at the floor. He looked a little nervous. He then sighed, and looked back up at me, "Nicole, I know you just broke up with Niall, but I can't keep my feelings bottled up any longer. I really am in love with you. Whenever I look at you, my heart melts. You are beautiful, and have an amazing personality. You may think this is because of my break up with Marie, but I really think this is love. I was a jerk before and tried to kiss you when you didn't want me to. I should've respected your feelings. Back then, I was only trying to get over my break up with Marie, but now it's different. I really am in love with you, and I will respect your feelings. You may not feel the same, but I wanted to tell you how I really feel. I had to get that off my chest. I wanted to ask you one favor. One date, that's all I want. One date to show you how I really feel. If you don't want to date me after that, then I will accept that. I'll stop bothering you afterwards, if you don't want to date me. It's your decision."

I saw Harry's green eyes nervously staring into mine. I wrote: Yes, I will go on one date with you.

I saw Harry's face light up, and he grinned, "Really?! That's great! But, is it okay if we keep this on the down low? I don't think Niall or the others will be thrilled to find out we're going on a date, if you know what I mean."

I nodded.

"Well, I probably should go back to the others. Wanna join?"

I shook my head, so Harry got up and left. I walked over to the bathroom to change into pajamas. I threw on a sweatshirt and a pair of pajama pants, and then brushed my teeth. I walked back out into my room, and crawled into the covers of my bed. I stared up at the ceiling. Wow, I have a date with Harry tomorrow. I would've never seen that coming. I didn't think Harry would really be in love with me, but I guess he is. I think Harry has changed. He isn't the kind of guy who thinks he has to be in love with someone, he genuinely loves me, and I respect that. I understand what it's like to be in love. And, with Niall, I'm just not feeling it. Maybe Harry might be the one for me. It's only fair to give him a chance.
