Like I Never Loved You At All {Sequel To Life's Highway}

Chapter Sixteen-Niall Horan Marriage Break Down

NIALL HORAN MARRIAGE BREAK DOWN

Chantelle scowled at the headline, it was all she saw everywhere, all with different headlines and theories, but all with one thing in common; Niall cheated.

Chantelle's heart ached more and more each time she read an article, the pictures taken where blurry but it wasn't hard to make out Niall and a brunette she swore she'd see before.

She didn't no whether to believe it or not, Niall looked so honest every time he'd reassured her it was rumours, but the pictures were right there.

"Are you serious?" Niall asked as he looked over Chantelle's shoulder. "Why do you keep reading that crap? It's all I've seen you read the last three days."

"Well," Chantelle started curtly. "maybe I wouldn't have to read them if my husband wasn't cheating."

"I'm not cheating!"

"There's fucking pictures Niall, fucking pictures you can't-"

"Chantelle Ari's sitting right in front of you." Niall hissed his eyes fluttering to Arizona who was sitting on the floor watching the TV intently. "Do you want her to be like Tellie and start saying fuck?"

Chantelle didn't answer she just scoffed and went back to reading the article on her laptop.

"Chan." Niall hissed as she clicked on a second article. "Chan there's no point in reading that cr-"

"There is actually." Chantelle snapped cutting him off. "There's the point on knowing if my husbands cheating on me 'cause if he is I'm out of here."

"So, your saying if you read enough articles you'll convince yourself I'm cheating, then you'll leave me?"

"Who said I don't already think your cheating...?"

There was nothing more Louis wanted more than to be asleep, but as he laid in bed sleep didn't seem to be coming any sooner than a zombie apocalypse.

Louis rolled on his side for the hundredth time that night pressing the home button on his phone.

12:30

Louis groaned loudly in annoyance rolling back on his back he ran his fingers through his hair frustration.

'Damn you Eidee'

Louis was snapped out of his thoughts by a blood curling scream echoing into the room.

"Fuck."

He quickly kicked the blanket off before walking out of the room.

"Tell shh." Louis hushed as he entered Tellie's room. Tellie's eyes were shut, sweat dripping down her face as she tossed and turned in the bed blood curling screams leaving her mouth.

"Tellie, love it's okay."

Louis sat down on the bed quickly pulling Tellie into his arms.

"Tellie, shh love." Louis cooed.

Tellie opened her eyes tears filling them as she let out a whimper.

"Calm down love," Louis cooed as Tellie rested her head in his lap, her hands desperately clasped around Louis' arm. "It was just a dream okay?"

Tellie shook her head.

"What do you mean Love?" Louis asked.

Again Tellie shook her head, tears streaming down her face, her mind racing from everything she'd been dreaming about.

"...And you couldn't think of anyone else?" Lydia snapped tartly.

"You saw my fiancé for two years," Louis replied curtly. "Obvious your good."

Lydia sighed. "Tellie's seven, if she doesn't want to open up to you there's a very small chance she'll open up to me."

"Actually there's not, she doesn't tell me anything, she hasn't since she started school, but she does tell other people. Look, you were my fiancé's therapist for two years you obviously know stuff about Tellie."

"I do know stuff, I know a million reasons why she could have ADHD, even depression."

"She's a seven year old."

"A seven year old who got abandoned by her father, than believed her mother was dead, then got kidnapped by her mother after you told her she was dead. Then she found out Santa wasn't real-which no five year old should have to know. Then she had to go to her mother who she hadn't seen for two years and you literally walked away from her while she was screaming for you-yes Eidee mentioned that-now let's add the bullying problem, the fact that she's convinced everyone's gonna leave her and then your fiance leaving you. Then she heard your lovely conversation with your friend and obviously saw some of it. I rest my case."

"You rest my case too." Louis shot back curtly.

"Where is she?"

"With my-hard to explain really."

"Eleanor."

"How-"

"I was Eidee's damn therapist I know all about Eleanor." Lydia snapped. "I'll see if I can fit Tellie in."

"Thank you."

"...What do you want for your birthday?" Eleanor asked sweetly as she lead Tellie out of Starbucks.

Tellie shrugged. "I don't know."

"How can you not know? Last month you had a whole list."

"I can't get what I want..."

"What is it?"

"i can't tell you," Tellie said bluntly.

"Why not?"

"It's a secret."

Eleanor nodded. "You having a party?"

Tellie frowned and shook her head. "Nope..."

"Why not?" Eleanor asked furrowing her eyuebrows together in confusion. Everytime she'd seen Tellie she'd gone on and on about how she wanted a birthday party, and Tellie saying she wasn't having one just suprised her.

"Daddy said I can't have one." Tellie shrugged sadness painted across her face. Eleanor rolled her eyes.

"If he's not giving you a party I will." Eleanor said making a grin come across her face.

"Really?"

"Of course, someone's gotta give you a party."
