My Boyfriend's Best Friend

Chapter 6

I couldn't believe that Niall was cheating on me. I never thought that in a million years he would cheat on me.

My mind seriously wouldn't process this; it couldn't be happening.

Why?

I know that the spark wasn't really there anymore but he should've just broken up with me. Cheating is never okay.

Unless you're the one doing it. My subconscious said. That wasn't true. I wasn't cheating on Niall. I had feelings for Harry, that wasn't the same.

You kissed him. She argued. Well it was just one kiss. Niall seemed to have a full on relationship with someone else.

But I really shouldn't be so upset over it. I had a reason to break up with him. I could finally be with Harry.

I found myself calling Niall. I wanted to be done with him as soon as possible.

"Hello?" he said answering the phone.

"We need to talk," I said. I didn't know what to say. I had never broken up with anyone before.

"About what my love?" he questioned. I cringed when he called me that.

"About you and your girlfriend," I said. There was a long pause on the other end of the line.

"Julia I--"

"Save it, we're done. By the way I'm seeing Harry now," I said and hung up the phone quickly. I didn't know why I said that. It really wasn't necessary.

I laid down on my bed and let out a sigh. There would be no more crying over Niall Horan.

~~~

"Hey Jules, how are you holding up?" Harry asked walking beside me.

"Just fine," I said taking his hand. Harry just smiled down at me.

"I'm so glad we can finally be together but I'm sorry something so bad had to happen to you," he said.

"Yeah it was pretty horrible, I hope you know that this means I'm gonna get really jealous when I see you talking to other girls," I told him. He seemed amused.

"Are you sure you're okay with?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm sure. Can we stop talking about it? I don't even want to think about him anymore," I said. I really meant it.

"Yeah, sorry," he said.

Harry continued to hold my hand until we took our seats in drama.

"I know you all have semester finals coming up so today is going to be a free day. I expect you all to be studying," said Mrs. Kernie. The entire class let out a sigh and most people began taking their books out of their backpacks.

Harry and I just looked at each other.

"So what do you want to do?" Harry asked.

"Not study, that's for sure," I said. The night before I did nothing but study to keep my mind off of Niall and his infidelity.

"Come with me to my locker," he said.

"Okay," I agreed and followed him out of the door. Mrs. Kernie never really cared what we did in or out of her class.

"What do you need from your locker?" I asked.

"Nothing," he replied looking down at me.

Harry pulled me close to him by my waist and leaned down to kiss me. I loved the way our lips moved in perfect sync. I could kiss him forever.

"Well, I'd have to say that this is much better than studying," he said with his perfect smile, and showing off his adorable dimples.

"You can say that again, or you could just kiss me again," I said. Harry wasted no time bringing his lips back to mine and instantly igniting the fire that burned inside of me whenever we kissed. "I was hoping you'd choose that one," I said.

"We should probably get back now before Mrs. Kernie begins to suspect anything," Harry said. I just nodded and took his hand as he lead me back to the classroom.

Harry and I just talked and had a few laughs for the rest of the period.

"Sorry for bringing this up again but I never asked, did you break up with him already?" Harry asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"Did he apologize?" he questioned.

"I think he was going to but I didn't let him. I wasn't in the mood to speak to him I just wanted to be done. And I told him about us," I said. Harry showed no emotion as I gave him my answer.

"Oh," was all he said. Then the bell rang and Harry and I emerged from the classroom with our hands intertwined.

A few people in the hallway gave us odd looks. Probably because they didn't know that Niall and I broke up. I guess you could say we were the "it" couple at our school so everyone knew about us.

I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. When I looked at the screen I had a text from Niall. I waited until I was in my next class to read it and respond.

"Can we please talk?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because what you did was really fucked up and you hurt me Niall"

"Well you moved on pretty fast"

"Yeah well you moved on even faster so don't even try that guilt shit with me."

I was proud of myself for not giving into him this time. I almost did when he said that I moved on pretty fast but I was quick to stop myself from doing anything that I knew I would regret.

I don't even know what the teacher was trying to teach me because I completely zoned out which wasn't a good thing to do with finals right around the corner.

~~~

"Hey, beautiful, ready for lunch?" Harry whispered in my ear from behind scaring the crap out of me. "Bit jumpy are we?" he commented.

"I guess I'm still a little wound up over the Niall thing, he kept texting me in geology," I said.

"What did he say?" he asked.

"He asked if we could talk and when I said no he asked why and then when I told him that he hurt me. Then he was telling me about how I 'moved on pretty fast'" I said.

"Did you say anything back after that?" Harry asked. I just handed him my phone and let him read the messages. He seemed pretty amused at the last one.

"Julia, I really want to talk to you," Niall said coming up behind Harry and I.

"Well, I really don't want to talk to you," I said rolling my eyes and looking away from him.

"Please just give me like two minutes," Niall begged.

"Fine," I gave in walking with him to a quiet corner. Harry just stood and waited for me.

"I'm sorry that I cheated on you but I didn't want to break up with you because I didn't want you to be hurt. Things just haven't been the same between us and I wanted to feel the way I used to feel with you," he said.

"And you don't think that I couldn't tell that things were different? I've had feelings for Harry for quite some time now but guess what? I didn't cheat on you. There are absolutely no excuses so just leave me alone," I said walking away and joining Harry.

"You okay?" he asked.

"I guess I just can't believe him. He said that he cheated on me because he didn't want to hurt me," I said replaying Niall's words in my head.

"Well he's an arse. But at least one good thing came out of it," he said.

"Yeah," I agreed leaning into him.
