Last Goodbyes

The Approval/Double Date

Megan's POV

I was in my room watching girl code when I heard a knock. I muted the tv. "Come in!" I yelled. The door slowly opened and in walked Mason. "Hey Mase, you ok?" I asked concerned. He looked pale. "Megan, Niall told me about you and Harry. He said that Harry's the one night stand type, and he told me Harry offered you on a date tonight. Megan, I don't want you to end up heart broken or pregnant for that matter. If you don't do something I will. And if you don't-" he held his breathe. "I'll tell Matt." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "But-"

"no Megan. If you want to go out you need to understand a few things. . 1. I'll have to have a talk with Harry first. Consider yourself lucky that it's not dad or Matt. 2. Your going to tell dad and Matt. Not me. I'm only doing this to protect you. If you can't get to them in time or they find out by the self, they will only be madder. 3. I'm sending Niall on the date with you. Just to make sure. He will have an actor or whatever you call it to be his fake date." I couldn't speak. I was lost for words. What just happened? I had to talk to Harry. Who the hell does he think he's messing with? I'm pretty sure Mason got the clue that I was fuming and left. I sat for a minute, wondering what I would say to Harry. I tilted my head to the right. I felt like I could punch him. That's it. I went to find Harry. I didn't even know what the basement or other levels looked like. I guess I will have to find him myself. I did get a proper intro to the others but that's it. I pounded on every door. Nothing I went to the dining room and found Harry. Alone. On his phone. He saw me and stood. Before he could talk I started to yell. "Who the hell do you think you are Styles? I got plenty of things to call you right now but before I do that I'm gonna let you explain to me as why you lied? My brother knows about 'us' Niall told him that you were the one night stand type and that I'd end up pregnant!" He tried to speak but I gave him a push in the chest. Not hard. But so he knew who he was fucking with. I looked him dead in the eye. No words. I guess Niall was right. "Ya know what Harry? The dates off." I could hear him yelling and running behind me up the stairs. I didn't run into my bedroom. Nope I ran right to Masons. Tears were streaming now. I pounded on the door screaming and crying. Harry was close behind. Mason opened and right away I buried my head in his chest. Harry caught up and saw what was going on. I'm pretty sure Mason got the clue. He wrapped his arms around me and told Harry to wait there or his ass is dead. We walked in his room and he set me on the bed and held me. "Niall was right-I should've known." He just shushed me, got up and went to talk to Harry. I was proud of Mason. Even though he was younger, he treated me like his little sister. I got up and pressed my ear to the door. "Harry, let me start by saying fuck you. How dare you play her like that. She's heart broken. I never want you to speak to her again without my permission, got that?" I suppose Harry nodded because I didn't hear anything; and I know if he didn't, Mason would only get more pissed. "Good. Now go don't treat any other girl like that. We are done here. Before Mason could get in I ran to the bed and pretended to sleep. He came and kissed my cheek and said "I'm sorry Meg for everything that bastards done to you." I kept replaying that last 10 minutes in my head. From Mason coming to talk to me to apologizing. I started to drift away in Masons bed while he watched Fast and Furious Six. I really owed Niall.

2 hours later

Megan's POV

"Meg wake up. Dinners ready. I don't know why Harry did that to you but you needs to apologize to Niall." I shuffled out of the room and turned to Matt. "Fuck this." He had a look of pure shock on his face. "Megan Rose Estelle Branham, get your ass up here!"

"No Matt! I appreciate you trying to be there for me but give me some fucking space! I do need you to tell me who I can see and who I can't. I know well enough. You can't decide for me. I'm pretty sure I'm okay single for now since you did a pretty good job RAISING me!" He cringed at the last sentence. We stood staring at each other. I'm done with this. I spun on my heels and walked calmly downstairs. Everyone was at the table beginning to eat. I saw three open chairs. One in between Harry and dad. One next to Zayn on the end, and one between Liam and Louis. I took the one between Liam and Louis. I did a quick head count. I took one chair. That leaves two. Matts upstairs having a hissy fit. That's one. Dad and Mason were here, but only four of the boys were. I knew exactly who was gone. I put my fork down and asked "where is Niall?"

"Uhm I don't know. You should know that since he-" I cut Harry off.

"Keep running your mouth smart ass. I dare you."

That little fucker. I stood from my chair causing it to fall over. Everyone had stopped eating and was now spectating, not sure what to do. I started to sarcastically clap my hands. "Congratulations, you officially pissed me off. Bitch."

"Megan Rose Estelle, apologize!" I turned my head to my dad.

"Over my dead body." I heard Mason gasp a little. I faced towards Harry. "Harry, I know you think you're the shit and all, but stop fucking playing games. This is my second day here and I hate you. Let me tell you right now, if you know what good for you, you'll shut the fuck up" Harry just sat there with shock on his face and a dash of hurt. I threw my fork down and stormed out. I went out to the beach. It's where I went to think, to cry, to sing, to laugh. The boys and my dad knew to leave me alone when I came out here. On my way out I saw a familiar figure. It was Niall. "Niall!?" I called out waving my hands in the air. When he saw me his smile was from ear to ear. He jogged up to me. "Alex hey. I was just thinking and I wanted to apologize for what I told your brother. I didn't know he'd take it that way. I was just trying to protect you from a broken heart."

"Niall, I'm glad you did. I'm honestly ecstatic that you did. Thank you." We were about to hug, when a figure from far away ran to us while calling Niall's name. It felt like forever until she made up to us. I swear if looks could kill id be dead right now. "Excuse me bitch but who are you?" She asked.

"Megan, and your name is?" I knew being too nice would piss her off so I stuck my hand out to shake but she just glared at me.

"Kylie. And uh this here is Niall." She pointed to Niall.

"Do I look like a fucking idiot? I know who he is. No need to point out your one night stand sweetie, it's obvious." She gasped. Success! Niall turned to her. "Uh Kylie we should head in. It's getting dark." They started to walk up when I blocked there path. "Stay out of my room. And you my friend, stay away from my brothers." I said pointing to the girl. "What the hell? You act like you own the place!"

"Surprise! My dad owns that house." I could tell she had nothing left to say. "Have fun." I commented. I turned to watch them leave. I saw Matt and Mason watching from the balcony laughing. I gave them the middle finger causing them to laugh more. When Niall's back was turned cleaning up Kylie's mess, I saw Kylie look up and wave to Mason. He just made a gagging noise causing me and Matt to start laughing. She turned to me and lipped 'fuck you'. I only laughed more. I guess Matt saw because he gave her the middle finger. I started walking past them and accidentally 'pushed' Kylie. Of course, dumb and dumber were still laughing. "Ops." I said. "Karma's a bitch." And with that, I won.
