My lucky spill

Chapter 19 - One phone call

"I'm just going to call Ni" I laughed, playfully throwing a pillow in Ethan's face.

"Go for it. You going to tell him the news?" Ethan grinned and I nodded happily.

"Course" I waltzed outside, to the cool air. I found him in my favourites contacts list and quickly called him with a grin on my face.

The phone ringed once, twice, thrice...

"Hello?" A girl's voice asked. I frowned slightly at the setting sun.

"Um.. Niall?"

"What about him?" The snotty voice asked rudely.

"Uh...who are you?" I asked, trying to be polite.

"Niall's girlfriend, Melody" She answered shortly.

What?

"W..what?"

"You heard me. Who are you?" She sniffed haughtily.

"Hailey..."

"Well, Hailey, I'm afraid Niall chose who he loves. Me." I just blinked, my happiness disappearing. "After all, I was his best friend since primary school. We dated in High School you know" She yawned, bored.

"You're lying" I whispered, clenching my fist. Jesus, why was I so jealous.

"Don't you wish" She laughed, high-pitched and cold. I heard footsteps distantly.

"Mel? Who's that?" An Irish voice asked curiously.

"Holly or something. Anyway Nini, come closer." She simpered. My eyes grew wide.

What?

"Holly?" He repeated.

"Yes, does it matter? Anyway..." then I heard the most unbelievable thing ever. Kissing noises.

They were kissing.

"I cannot believe you Niall Horan." I whispered, shakily pressing the end button.

"Hailey? How did he take...oh Hailey" Olivia said sadly, seeing my horror-struck face as she walked out to where I was standing.

"He...Melody...together" I said, regretting calling him. He was dating Melody. Of course, I'm sure she's much more prettier, smarter, cuter, his style.

"I'm sure it's not true, Hail. Call Leia, she'll know" She smiled and I felt grateful I had such a great friend. I nodded as she walked back in, shaking her head to Matt.

"Leia. Tell me it's not true" I pleaded as soon as she picked up.

"Tell you what's not true?" She asked, sounding confused.

"Niall and Melody" I whispered. The two names together didn't seem right. I hated saying it, feeling it on my tongue.

"Melody? Niall's friend from Ireland?"

"I...I suppose"

"I'm not sure. Melody sure seems into Niall. He doesn't know, clearly" I could almost see her roll her eyes.

"They're dating, aren't they? I can't believe it. And to think that I loved Niall freaking Horan" I said, before hanging up. I felt tears well into my eyes and I collapsed onto a chair, sobbing my heart out. Only a couple of seconds later, I felt familiar comforting arms wrap around me.

"He's not worth it" Olivia whispered.

"He doesn't deserve you Hail, don't worry" Dylan muttered. And Melody deserved him? I should've known I wouldn't have a chance with a guy like Niall.

I should've known.

Leia's POV

She hung up on me, and only one thing rang in my mind. And to think that I loved Niall freaking Horan. Loved Niall freaking Horan. Loved Niall Horan. Oh boy, what the hell did that boy do to her? She loves him...well, loved, but never mind.

"NIALL HORAN, GET YOUR BUM RIGHT HERE ON THIS COUCH" I yelled at the top of my voice.

"What?" He asked, walking down the stairs with Melody trailing after him, looking smug.

"So what, exactly, did you tell Hailey?" I growled, my brown eyes flashing.

"I didn't...what are you talking about?" He furrowed his eyebrows together. I glared at him for a moment, sizing him up. His blue eyes looked innocent, confused. He seemed to be telling the truth. But Melody on the other hand...She was always moody, cold, a frown set upon her flawless face. But now, her face was just plain smugness.

"Melody. Who was that on the phone? What did she say? More importantly, what did you say?" I asked, making my voice sugar sweet.

"The phone? I have no idea who you're talking about" She smiled back. I just smiled back, equally sweet. I shot my hand out, stealing Niall's phone from Melody's back pocket. I scrolled down to the most recent calls. There, in clear words, said:

Hail <3 6:07pm, 16\5\14

"Explain this" I shoved the phone under her little pointed nose.

"I...I have no idea what you're talking about" She turned her head away, flicking a stray piece of a curl of pale blonde hair.

"It's quarter past six now. It's the 16th of May, 2014." I explained slowly, staring at Melody.

"I...she didn't...I don't..." She stumbled over her words and I smiled triumphantly.

"Niall?" I turned towards his surprised face.

"Melody, what were you doing with my phone? And you said it was Holly on the line" He frowned at her with hurt.

"I didn't exactly say it was Holly. She was scaring me ok? She was threatening me. As soon as I told her I was your girlfriend she go-"

"You told her you were my girlfriend?" Niall asked in a disbelieving voice.

"She would never threaten anyone" I said at the same time, my dislike for Melody deepening.

"Well, I just-"

"You assumed you could go along to my best friend, saying you were my girlfriend." Niall said, his normally sweet blue eyes flashing.

"Well, it's not exactly untrue, is it?" She simpered, sliding up to him.

"But it is. It's untrue" He shook his head and took a few steps away from her.

"Well then, Melody. What else did you tell her?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"I didn't say anything okay? Gosh, back off" She snapped. She walked out of the hotel door and slammed the door right in my face. Thanks for that Melody, I'm feeling the love.

"I can't believe she did that" Niall groaned flopping down onto the couch. "At least Hailey wouldn't exactly mind..."

"Yeah, I'm sure she didn't mind" I snorted. Boys, honestly.

"What? I'm just saying she couldn't possibly mind"

"Niall, Niall, Niall, when will you realize?" I groaned, rolling my eyes.

"Realize what?" He stared at me with a confused face.

"When will you realize and wake up that Hailey loves you."
