-Niall's POV-

I've been pacing back and forth thinking about Roxy and I. I know that she's with Louis.. But I can't take it anymore. I don't want to be her friend anymore. I want to be so much more than that. I want to tell her how much I love her and how I could treat her way better then Louis could ever in his whole entire life time.

I made my way in through the stage door of her school and saw her singing on stage with.. Eleanor? I thought Eleanor couldn't sing?

I sat in an isle waiting for their practice to be over. Damn Roxy has a voice of an angel. It sounds like Demi Lovato mixed with Christina Aguilera.. Wait a minute.. Why is Christina Aguilera here?

"Ok, take five ladies."

Christina said as they walked off the stage.. Laughing? Roxy must be sick.

I went up to her slowly as she looked up to me and smile and jumped in my arms,

"Hey Nialler, I missed you buddy."

She wrapped her arms around my neck as I pulled her petite frame closer to my chest.

She slowly let go of me as I lead her outside of the theatre.

"What's up Nialler?"

She asked me with a smile,

"Uhm.. I-I wanted to tell you something. I'm not sure how to say it but I'm just gonna blurt it out."

I said as she nodded,

"Iloveyouroxy."

I said as fast as I could as she giggled,

"I didn't understand you talked to fast."

"I said."

I cleared my throat, but I couldn't say it again. I just wanted to show her so I grabbed her waist and pulled her face close to mine and our lips connected. I deepened the kiss.. She didn't kiss me back. I let go to see her eyes as big as tennis balls.

"Why didn't you kiss me back? Don't you feel the same?"

She closed her eyes and shook her head,

"I'm with Louis, Niall. You'll always be my best friend."

It was now my turn to start freaking out and shake my head,

"I don't want to be just your best friend."

I said with hurt in every word that came out,

"I-I love you Nialler. Just not that way."

She said slowly so she wouldn't hurt me..too late.

"You think that Louis really loves you, Roxy. He doesn't. He couldn't love you as much as I can love you. We would be so perfect for each other."

Roxy came closer to me and put her hand on my shoulder,

"Niall, we will always be best friends. Louis does love me and you have to realize that, it's the truth."

The truth? The truth... I don't know what to think of her anymore. The other day when I got her this teddy bear. It looked like she wanted to kiss me without any hesitation. Now that she has Louis.. She doesn't need me,

"I still want us to be friends. I don't want to lose you."

She said as her voice cracked,

"Too late. I can't be your friend."

I said out of breath,

"Why not?"

She asked me as tears escaped her eyes,

"I can't be your friend when I'm in love with you."

I said as I started to jog away from her, I need to forget her. She doesn't want me. I need to forget her and move on to someone else..

-Roxy's POV-

I walked back in to the theatre crying. I just lost my best friend, he has feelings for me but I'm in love with Louis. His words kept replaying in my head,

I can't be your friend when I'm in love with you

I decided to walk back out and go towards my locker. I opened it and heard my phone vibrating. It was Zayn.

"Hey Zaynie."

I sniffed out,

"Roxy? What's the matter?"

Zayn asked me concerned,

"I-I just lost N-Niall as my f-friend."

I stuttered out my tears,

"Why? What happened?"

Being the close friends me and Zayn are.. I would at least tell him the truth.

"He told me that he loves me and I told him that I'm in love with Louis."

I calmed myself down as I ate a cookie I found in my lunchbox. I didn't eat healthy but at least I ate something.

"Oh, my. It all makes sense now."

Zayn said like he discovered a mystery.

"What do you mean..?"

Zayn explain to me all about how Niall started avoiding Louis and how they were fighting and bickering whenever they were alone.

"So do you think Louis knows about Niall having a crush on me..?"

I asked,

"I don't think so but Niall has been being mean to him so they are fighting about something alright."

Zayn huffed on the other end,

"Well anyways I've gotta go Zaynie."

"Ok, I'll call you later. Love you."

I smiled,

"Love you too."

I hung up my phone and put it in my bag and closed my locker door to see Perrie looking frustrated at me.

"Hey Pez-"

"Don't hey Pez me. I knew something was going on between you and Zayn. How could you do this to me?"

I raised my eyebrow confused of what Perrie was blabbing on about,

"What do you mean? What are you talking about."

"Why would my boyfriend be calling you and telling you that he loves you?"

Her eyes filled with tears,

"Perrie, Zayn and I are like brother and sister. I would never do that to you."

I protested as she wiped away one of the tears on her cheeks,

"Yeah, right."

She said as she ran away from me.. Now I lost Niall and Perrie! What else could go wrong?

-Zayn's POV-

I got dragged out of class by Perrie who's make-up was all over her face.

"What's wrong babe?-"

I felt a hand go across my face, why would Perrie smack me? What did I do wrong?

"Your cheating on me with my best friend!"

I saw Roxy run up to us from behind her,

"No he's not:"

Roxy protested as Perrie turned around to see her,

"Really? I don't believe anything you say anymore."

Perrie spat at her,

"Love, I would never cheat on you. I'm in love with you too much. If I didn't love you, why would I have proposed to you?"

Roxy's eyes lit up,

"You guys are engaged? Omg congratulations!"

She said as she looked at the ground not knowing what to do,

"Trust me, I would never ever hurt you. When you hurt, I hurt."

Perrie fluttered her eyes and smiled and turned to Roxy,

"I'm so sorry that I accused you of cheating."

She said as she hugged her,

"I could have accused of cheating on me with Louis because he calls you all of the time."

They laughed as we group hugged. Louis came out and saw us,

"Hey? Your group hugging with out me!"

We let him in our group hug,

"So, Lou. You and Roxy need to talk."

Perrie said as she grabbed my hand and we left them to talk,

-Louis POV-

"Babe, Zayn tells me that you were upset? How come?"

I asked her worried, I hope she's alright.

"Uhm, I was just upset that I wouldn't be able to see them a lot during our month break. That's all."

She said as she squeezed me,

"Me too. We'll be able to see them though, after the holidays and New Years."

She smiled as she took my hand, we went home to get things packed for our drive down to the Dianne's in the morning.
I can't wait!

-Niall's POV-

I looked around the bar to see if I could find any hot girls here tonight. All I could see was all of these different coloured skin girls grinding on each other,

I went to the bar tender and ordered my fifth beer this night. I heard sniffles from beside me. A girl with purple hair looked up at the bartender and ordered a martini.

"Hi, I'm Niall."

I introduced myself as she faked a smile and shook my hand,

"I'm Jade."

She said as she took a sip of her martini,

"So Jade, why are you so upset?"

She started to play around with the olive in the drink,

"My boyfriend that was going to propose to me cheated on me. We've been together for almost 3 years and then he blows me off for some blonde bimbo."

She drank the whole glass and gave it back to the bar tender.

"Why are you here pretty boy?"

She asked me in a drunken state,

"I fell for this girl, but she is dating and is in love with one of my best friends and I'm tired of just being her friend."

I shot down my beer and gave it to he bar tender,

"Well, I guess both of our nights didn't go well.... How about we change that?"

Jade said as she took my hand,

"S-sure."

I stuttered,

"Come on, let's go to my place."

She said as she dragged me out of the bar.
