You and your best friend Niall were sitting on the couch, watching a TV marathon of Storage Wars. At first he had turned it on as a joke, but the more you had watched it you actually started to get interested by it. You liked Dave, while he prefered Darell and you both agreed Barry was a jerk. You were both lounged in your sweats, you had no makeup on, and everything was just very relaxed and comfy. That's how it usually was between you two, and you loved that.
You and Niall had been best friends for about three years now, you met back in his X Factor days and you had originally met Liam first, he was also your best friend. Liam had introduced you to all the boys and they immediately all loved you. Liam, Harry, Zayn, and Louis all acted like older brothers to you; they were protective of you, and you knew you could always talk to any of them about anything. You were lucky really, to have these boys as your best friends.
Now, as for Niall, you had always loved him. He just seemed to be the one you got along with so well and you connected with him. But one small problem. Hannah. Hannah was Niall's girlfriend of about 8 months now. He seemed happy with her, and she seemed rather nice, but you didnt like the fact that she was a bit obsesive over him. She texted and called him all the time, always wanted to know what he was doing and where he was and with who he was with. When you had first met her, she was really nice to you. But the longer they dated the more controling she got. She didnt want him around you as much as he was, because she worried there was something going on between you two. Niall assured her there wasnt anyting going on, but he continued to hang out with you as much as he could, almost more often than he would with Hannah. Psh, of course you loved it. But it killed you inside that Hannah had to be dating him, she was the one who held his hand, kissed him, hugged him, and all those things. But he was your best friend, and although you did love him, you wanted him to be happy no matter what. If he was happy, you were too.
You heard the doorbell ring through the house and Niall's head shot towards you.
“You're pizza's here” He said
“But you're closer” You whined
“Hey I'm the owner of this house!” Niall said throwing a pillow at you playfully
“Exactly, I'm the guest.” You shot back, sticking out your toungue.
He narrowed his eyes, and you could tell he was holding back a smile “Do you want your damn pizza or not?”
You got up off the couch with a huff and made a big deal of walking a whole 8 feet to the door. You opened the door to find a friendly looking girl, holding a large box of delicious thick crust pepperoni pizza. The wonderfull smell radiated from the warm box and it made your mouth water. You payed the girl, and closed the door as she walked back towards her car.
“Mmmmm, I can smell it from here!” You heard Niall say as you walked into the kitchen. You then heard quick footsteps and Niall was right there beside you. He reached for a slice of pizza and you slapped his hand away.
“I dont think so!” You said letting out a small laugh
He whimpered and stepped closer to you, almost too close.. he stuck out his bottom lip pleadingly.
Your heart started to beat faster as you realized how close you were to each other, chest to chest. Only inches separated your faces. Nothing but silence..
“Erin, you're so beautiful..” Niall said. And before you even had time to react, Niall pressed his lips onto yours. For a moment, you were frozen. You stood completely still, barely breathing and too shocked to even do anything. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at you
“Breathe love.” He chuckled.
You snapped out of your trance and looked up at him with disbelief, pushing him away from you.
“Niall.. What are you doing?!” You said, as much as you wanted to continue with this, you knew it was wrong. It was so wrong. He was with Hannah, how could he do this?
“I-”
“No. This is wrong.” You said and turned and bolted towards the door. Not even waiting for his explaination.
You ran down the street and went to the place you knew you could get some sense from all this. You burst through the door without bothering to knock, and ran to the kitchen where you saw Liam, Louis, and Eleanor.
“Well hello to you too!” Liam joked as he looked up from the food he was making. You ignored the wonderfull smell that came from a pan, and took a deep breath.
“I dont know what to do, Niall, he just kissed me. Everything was fine and then he just did and I dont know and-” You rushed
“Woah woah woah, Erin, slow down. What happened now?” Liam asked his eyebrows furrowed together.
Louis and Eleanor also turned and looked at you with slight worry in your eyes.
You stumbled forward and leaned against the counter, catching your breath for a moment. You told them the story of what happened, and when you were finished, the three of them gave strange looks to each other.
“What?” You asked looking between them.
“Erin, he didnt tell you did he?” Eleanor said
“Tell me what?”
“Niall.. He broke up with Hannah a week ago.” Liam said taking your hand.
“W-what?”
“He didnt want to tell you until the right moment, and I guess he did it in the wrong way..” Louis said frowning slightly.
Why wouldnt he tell you?? You were his best friend and you told each other everything...
“I know, he should have told you sooner, but.. He loves you. He has for a while now. None of us-not even him- know why he started dating Hannah. I guess he didnt think he would ever be good enough for you.” Liam said gently
“But...”
“You dont have to say anything. I know how you feel about him too. Erin, just go back to him. Tell him you feel the same.” Liam said stroking your hair a bit.
You looked up at him, then at Eleanor and Louis. They nodded, and Eleanor gave you a reassurring smile and Lou gave you a cheeky thumbs up.
You hugged the three of them and wiped away a tear that had slid down your cheek.
“Thank you guys” You said before turning and running out of the house. Man, this was too much running for one day..
As you stumbled through Niall's front door, you heard him in the living room, talking to himself. He must not have noticed you come in and you caught words like 'idiot' and 'fool.' You took a deep breath and rushed over to him. The second he heard you he looked up and his eyes widened, he stood up and opened his mouth to speak
“Erin, I-”
“Dont talk, I already know” You said. You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him closer to you, kissing him. This time, he was a bit in shock.
You both pulled away and he looked at you with loving eyes, but a questioning look on his face.
“Liam, Louis, and Eleanor told me you broke up with her. I'm so sorry..” You said
“I'm the one who should be sorry, I should have told you.” Niall said wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer. You rested your head on his chest and he sighed.
“Erin, you are the most amazing girl I've ever met. I love every moment I spent with you and I only want more. I love you. I wish I told you sooner.” Niall said kissing the top of your head.
You looked up at him and smiled “I love you too Niall” You pressed your lips onto his for a short moment, and then looked back up at him. “But next time, tell me your single before you kiss me?” You said smiling.
He chuckled “There wont be a next time, I have you now, I'm no longer single am I?”
You beamed “No, your my boyfriend”
“And your my girl.”
