bestfriends {nh au}

pt. 13

(a/n): i do not support underage drinking btw.... actually i don't support drinking at all. it's a religious thing. but i thought this was a realistic response for this chapter.

Oh my gosh.

Tears fill up in my wide eyes and I feel sick to my stomach as I watch the scene playing in front of me. I think I might throw up. I can feel my heart breaking. My breaths come out short as I continue to stare.

I don't know why but my feet can't move. I'm torturing myself just standing here watching Niall kiss Liz. My hand falls on my chest as I continue to gasp for air.

The realisation hits that I'm standing in a crowded living room. Teenagers dancing, music thumping.

Niall and Liz's kiss breaks and Niall's eyes catch mine. They widen and I see him start to open his mouth to speak. The sadness in my heart is suddenly replaced with anger and I march up to him with fire in my eyes.

"You asshole!" I push his chest.

"Macy, I-" He starts.

"I cannot believe you would do this to me!" By now we've drawn a crowd, which I notice. "Come here, we're not doing this here." I mumble, pulling him upstairs. We go into the first open bedroom.

"Macy, will you just-"

"No, Niall! I can't listen to your sorry excuses! I love you. I love you and before just now, I thought you put the stars in the sky, Niall! I love you with my entire being and this is what you give me." I say, "You were my best friend first, then you were my boyfriend-"

"Were?" Niall asks.

"Yes, were. Now you're just the asshole who cheated on me." I declare before walking out and slamming the door behind me.

"Macy!" I hear Niall's yells behind me, but I refuse to turn around. It's not until I hear him yell, "I love you!" that I spin around on my heal.

"Go tell that to Liz." I spit at him.

I stomp out of the house and start walking home, calling Makenzie as I go. "Makenzie," I sob, "Makenzie, can you come pick me up?"

"What's wrong, Macy, where are you?" She says, the concern clear in her voice.

"Niall cheated on me." I whisper. "I'm walking down Jones Avenue. Please hurry."

Within 5 minutes, I see Mak's old blue Pontiac pulling up to the curb. I'm still crying as I get into the car.

"Mace... what happened? I mean... why?" She asks.

"I don't know, and I don't want to. There's no excuse for cheating." I sigh. "All I saw was him kissing Liz."

"Liz? He cheated on you with that bitch? Gosh, I'm gonna kick his ass." She mumbles.

"For the first time in my life I feel like I need to drink." I groan.

"What?"

"I just- I want some tequila or something." I mumble, pressing my hand to my forehead in hopes of calming my headache.

"Then let's get you some." Mak says. We drive to the drug store and Makenzie buys the alcohol using her fake ID.

Her parents are out of town so we go to her house. We dig shot glasses out of her cupboards.

"Your first shot." She says excitedly as she pours the tequila into the glass.
