Chapter 22 – Valerie’s P.O.V.

          Sickness.

            That’s the only thing I felt as soon as the words left his lips. If I were the reason One Direction were to break up, I’d probably kill myself. Sadly, that’s not exaggerating.

            “Stop the car,” I choked out, my heart pounding against my chest.

            “Valerie, we—“

            “Stop the car!” I said a little firmly, feeling as if I were going to throw up.

            Niall finally obeyed, pulling onto the side of the road. I immediately got out, aware we were parked on the side of the interstate. I gripped my stomach as I started walking back the way we came.

            “Where are you going?” Niall called after me, gently grabbing my wrist to spin me to face him.

            “Niall, if me being around threatens the entire band, why am I here?” I said, tears brimming my eyes. “If Harry can’t be seen in public with me, I’m going home. I’m not going to let the band breakup because of me.”

            Niall’s eyes bored into mine. I went to shimmy out of his grip, but his grip only tightened as he stared at me. “You really do care about us, don’t you?” he asked softly, his eyes holding my watery ones.

            I bit my lower lip to keep from full-out crying as I nodded my head, raking my free hand through my hair.

            “Well, Valerie,” Niall said, a small smile on his lips, “good thing we thought things through.”

            I stared at him in confusion, blinking away the water. “W-What do you mean?”

            Niall shyly smiled at me. “Well, since you can’t be seen in public with Harry, the lads and I urged him to call management out and work out a deal. He doesn’t want to stop seeing you, Valerie, so we made a deal with management…”

            “What?” I asked as he trailed off, my heart pounding in fear.

            Niall gave me another faint smile. “You’re kind of fake dating me now.”

            My eyes widened at the thought. “What do you mean? Niall, you seriously need to work on your explanation skills!”

            Niall chuckled. “If you’re seen in public with me, it’s all right because I’m not dating anyone. Since Harry is supposed to be dating Kendall, management doesn’t want him seen in public with you because it sparks up cheating rumors. So, if you ever hang out with us in public, I kind of have to be there now. Since the other lads have girlfriends, I was really the only option, so I hope I’m not your least favorite,” he smirked.

            “Picking a least favorite is a disgrace,” I said. “Hell, picking a favorite is discrimination.”

            Niall laughed. “So, you’re okay with this fake dating thing?”
