My Boyfriend's Best Friend

Chapter 3

"I'll be there to pick you up in 5 mins"

"Okay I'll b ready!! xx"

I quickly ran a comb through my thick dark hair and grabbed my backpack. Even though it was about 50 degrees outside I waited for Niall on the porch.

Luckily he was true to his word and soon enough he pulled up to my house.

"Why are you waiting outside? It's freezing," Niall asked. I almost laughed.

"I just wanted to. I don't know why," I replied.

"I thought you hated the cold," he commented.

"People change," I simply said. Niall nodded.

He didn't seem to realize the meaning in my words. I didn't expect him to but once again I felt bad that he was so oblivious to our situation.

"Is something wrong babe?" Niall asked when we were getting out of his car.

Yes.

"No," I lied.

"Oh, I can't walk you to drama today, I have to talk with my English teacher about getting my grade up for football," he said.

"Okay, are you still you still going to take me to geology?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll see you then," Niall said kissing my forhead and walking off.

"Alright bye, Ni," I said kissing him on the cheek.

I began my walk to drama alone and I began to wonder if everything still felt the same to Niall.

"Hey Jules where's Niall?" Harry asked distracting me from my thoughts.

"Talking to his English teacher. He isn't doing so well," I explained.

"Oh, do you think he'll mind if I walk you to class?" he questioned.

"Well I don't know if he will but I don't. Besides we're going to the same place anyways," I said.

"You have a good point," Harry said.

Harry and I walked down the hallway to our drama class. When we were about to enter he opened the door in a flashy manner.

"You first m'lady," he said bowing and bringing his arm out. I giggled at his child-like behaviour.

"Thank you kind sir," I said in return.

Harry and I took our seats next to each other and waited for Mrs. Kernie to give us our instructions for the day. She told us that we would have to pick someone to tell our deepest secret.

My deepest secret? Maybe it was once when I was 8 I took ten dollars from my moms purse, or that time I told my dad that my sister broke the lamp, or maybe it was that I was in love with my boyfriend's best friend.

"Do you want to be my partner, again?" Harry asked once again bringing me from my thoughts.

"Uh, yeah sure," I said joining reality.

"Okay I'll go first. This is really embarrassing but my deepest secret is, I don't even like drama. I only took this class because of you," Harry said making my stomach flutter.

"I think I have feelings for you," I said. Not intentionally, of course.

"You do? But you're with Niall," he said.

"I know but I really don't want to hurt him. Things just haven't been the same in our relationship and I don't know what to do about it," I confessed.

"I'm sorry but if it make you feel any better, I have feelings for you too. I have since before you and Niall even started dating," he said.

"Seriously? Why didn't you say anything?" I asked.

"Niall seemed to like you a lot and you liked him back, I wasn't going to stop you guys from being happy," he explained.

"Oh," I said at a loss for words.

"Are you going to tell him?" Harry questioned.

"I don't know. I want to but everytime I look in his eyes I just can't bring myself to do it," I said.

"I see, well I'm sorry," he said.

"Why?" I inquired. If anyone sould be sorry it should be me. I was the one who couldn't break up with my boyfriend.

"I don't know maybe if I had said something earlier then none of this would be happening. I'd be with you, Niall would be the one who got jealous everytime I touched you, he'd get mad if I upset you, he'd be like me," Harry answered not meeting my eyes.

"You feel that way?" I asked. I knew he liked me and he was a bit more protective than a friend should have been but I didn't know that he felt like that for two years.

"The worst part is I can't do anything about it because he's my best friend. And you guys are always together so I just have to sit back and watch you two all day. All the kisses, all the hugs, everytime he makes you blush," Harry said.

I never in a million years would I have thought I would have been as torn as I was right then. Harry liked me and I liked Harry. It seemed easy, break up with Niall and go out with Harry. But of course it wasn't that simple.

Niall and I had been together for two whole years. I couldn't just end our relationship and then go out with his best friend. That would be so wrong. Especially since I knew how much Niall cared about me. I cared about him too but now instead of loving him the way he loves me I love him like he's my best friend and nothing more.

I think a small part of me just wasn't ready to give up our relationship just in case this was just some sort of phase. Maybe we could just work it out.

Maybe.
