****Alyssa's POV****

About 5 minutes after the boys left, Lexie came barging into my flat.

“Hey I’m here with food!” She screamed. That’s all it took for me to run to my door and tackle her.

“FOOD!!” I said when she was on the ground. We fought for the food, her finally giving up when I sent her the dagger eyes.

“Fine, fine…take it!” She said as she stood and brushed herself off. I hurriedly opened the bag and saw that she had gotten me chicken from Nandos!

“Lex I love you!” I said as I hugged her around the head. I’m much taller than her so it just kind of happens that way. I took the bag of delicious food and plopped myself onto the couch, but regretted it a few seconds later when my headache came back. I grabbed my head and sat there until the pain slowly slipped away. Lexie made her way over to me and sat down. She started to grab some of my food, but I jerked the bag out of her reach before she could lay a finger on one of them.

“NEVER!” I yelled as she looked at me. I stared at her and noticed that she wasn’t extremely happy as she usually is.

“Hey Lex, can I ask you something? Why have you looked so down? You’re always happy, especially since you and Zayn started dating.” She suddenly looked even more depressed and she slowly looked down. I definitely hit a delicate subject. I just looked at her and slowly shook my head.

“I-I’m sorry Lexie…I didn’t mean-“ She just stopped me from talking anymore.

“No…I think that you need and deserve to know.” I just gave her a confused look.

“So about a week ago…”

*One Story Later* (You all know the story so I’m not going to repeat it)

I couldn’t help myself when my jaw dropped to the floor. My mouth couldn’t form any words as I stared at her in shock.

“Oh Lexie…I had no idea! You must feel awful! I’m so sorry!” I just hugged her and let her cry onto my shoulder.

“Lyss… I still love him though…and I- I just can’t help myself when he walks into a room… I have to leave before he makes me feel horrible and make me beg to take him back.” After 10 minutes, her tears stopped falling and she wiped her eyes. I just couldn’t believe that he did that to her! And he told me that he was going to propose to her! That was 3 years ago though… so I don’t know…

“Hey Lex, was Zayn just your boyfriend? Or was he something more?” My thoughts had come true. She looked like she was going to cry again, but she held them back.

“He proposed to me the night of the crash. Louis and him planned to propose to us at the same time so we could-“ Her eyes suddenly got huge as her hand flew to her mouth to stop what she was going to say. What did she mean propose to us? I didn’t even know a Louis! Why does everyone keep saying that!?  Suddenly, I heard the boys Lexie and told her that she could go to my room and hang out for a while, or go up to her flat from the stairs outside my window. She just nodded and jogged to my room. As soon as I heard the door slam shut, I went to the front door where the boys were still arguing. I opened it and stood there waiting for them to notice that the door was open.

“Harry! I swear that it was this one!” Niall yelled with food in his mouth.

“No it is this one! I know for sure!” Said Harry.

“Guys” I said over their voices. But of course, no one noticed.

“Why don’t you try the key that says ‘flat’” I said to them like it was the most obvious thing in the world…which it was…
