-Niall's POV-

"Hey baby!"

Jade said as I squeezed my wonderful fiancé in my arms.

"I missed you."

I said as she smiled,

"Me too."

I leaned in to her so that I could meet those luscious baby pink lips of hers, I stopped as soon as I noticed Roxy. Jade gave me a confused look and looked towards where my gaze focused.

"Go ahead Niall. Just don't get too close to her.."

She said as she patted my back and walked off.

I felt bad for just ignoring jade for Roxy. But I came here just to win her back as my friend. This place was so crowded and black. The walls, the ceilings. Even the roses looked dull. I saw a stage director with red roses. I grabbed them from him as he tried to grab them back. I slipped him 30$ as he shoved the bill in his pocket and quietly walked away.

I sneaked up behind Roxy who was getting her hair touched up. She got off the chair and thanked the stylist. She looked up from the ground as her grey eyes locked onto mine. She quickly shook her head and walked away. With that I ran to her, catching her in the hallway for the contestants.

"Roxy."

I called out as she sighed and turned around to face me with disappointment written all over her face,

"What do you want Niall? Jade is probably in studio b getting ready for the show."

She said as she flipped her hair and continued to walk. I hurried my pace as I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Rox, I came here because I wanted to win you back."

My words shocked me as I said them aloud. She turned around to face me, but this time her surprise expression remained as it was.

"What do you mean 'win me back' I don't know what to say to you but I can't be your girlfriend, none the less your friend."

I sighed as I held out the red roses,

"I-I just wanted a second chance. Can I at least have that?"

She glared at me as she folded her arms,

"I don't think so."

She said as she pushed the flowers back to me as they hit my face a little bit.

"Why not?"

I asked as I followed her to wherever she was going next.

"I-I just don't think we can ever be friends after what happened. I can't be your friend."

My heart shattered at every word she said.

"Please Rox, please."

I begged as I got down on one knee.

"I-I'm sorry Niall."

She said as I finally let her walk away. Why wouldn't she want to be my friend again? What I did really wasn't over the extremes. She's just overreacting.

"Oh yeah, Niall."

My head shot up as she started speaking,

"Congratulations on the engagement with Jade. I wish you well for the future ahead."

She faked a smile as she turned around and she was finally out of sight. I honestly really don't know how to feel about us anymore. I tried to fight for our friendship, and she just pushes it away. She's so complicated at times. I'm done trying.
