26. Under The Mistletoe

Third Person POV

Just one look at Harry and you could see that the plan was already working. He was absolutely gutted by what he was seeing. The boy pinched himself, but his frown grew bigger when he realized it wasn't a dream. Looking around, Jessica noticed the other important person for this plan to work, wasn't here.

Who you may ask? Louis "The Tommo" Tomlinson was nowhere in sight. Jessica almost kicked herself, she didn't want to go through all of this again with Louis, it would have been much easier if he was at school today. You could almost say that this was closure for Jessica at last, yet it was payback at Harry.

It soon came later in the day, to lunch time in fact, and the gang was still getting used to the fact that two people within them were dating. It wasn't like Niall and Jessica were an unlikely pair, it was just that it was very unexpected.

You could almost see Harry in such turmoil and how desperately he was trying from just going and banging his head on the table. Samantha slides in next to him in the table, the new couple pays no attention to them and chat excitedly.

"I see that you're not taking this well." She says so low that only Harry could hear. He nodded and tried to ignore the whispering from the couple in front of him. Sam rubs his back and sighes heavily.

She's really disappointed in Niall and Jessica for doing this to Harry. He was just coming to terms with his sexuality and his more-than-a-crush on Niall.

And now they were in this deep and hurting someone who had enough pain in his life.

Someone asks Sam if Harry is alright, she gives a small nod and nudge him to start paying attention to the world around him. It is right there that Sam knows what to do to help Harry. She overheard the couple talking yesterday about not having their first kiss.

And if she knew anything, it was that Jessica was head over heels for Louis, and Harry may have admitted to liking Niall to her not so long ago. Time for a little mistletoe she thought as she smirked evilly.

~Friday afternoon~

Niall's POV

"What?! What do you mean you're leaving now?!" Jessica whisper yelled at me, I winced as I quickly packed up my things after getting a call from the office. Apparently my mom was down there, it's so embarrassing that she called, and we were supposed to leave for a flight to Ireland that I didn't know of until now.

It was for the holidays and we were spending all Christmas break with our family. And my dad, cue the shudders.

"I'm sorry Jess, I just found out now." I said, hoisting the bag into my back.

"But what about the Christmas party? Louis is bound to be better from food poisoning and then what?"

"I don't know. I'll try to convince my mom to come back before New Years."

"Okay." She said sadly. I gave her a hug and kiss on her cheek before I left. I didn't see the frown that appeared on Harry's face or the tears threatening to stream down his face.

~New Year's Eve Party~

As soon as my flight landed back in London, I was off to the New Year's Eve party. I loved how my mom let me fly here alone, not having to worry about her spending the evening alone while I'm with my friends. I quickly raced to the flat, got ready as fast as humanly possibly then headed out to the address that Jessica texted me earlier.

It was Sam's apartment, the one that she shared with and Lily. I wondered why Jessica didn't live with them, along with Ashley. I didn't have time to think of anything else because the door opened and I was tackled by a small girl, also known as Ashley.
