Hidden Love || n.h.

Chapter 23

OLIVIA'S POV

"What... what are you doing here?" Niall asks from the other side of the bathroom door. I sigh.

"I need to talk to you." I say firmly. I glance over at Harry, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

"Alone." I quickly add, pointing my attention to Harry. He makes an 'O' shape with his lips and quickly leaves the dorm.

"Can you open the door?" I beg Niall, tapping on it again. I hear him sigh and stand up. The door clicks and opens.

He's staring at his feet, his head hung. I sighed and gestured for him to follow me to his bed, we can talk there.

I plop my butt down on his bed an pat the spot next to me for Niall to sit. He sits next to me and looks up at me.

His eyes were red and puffy and his nose was runny. It broke my heart to see him this way, but soon, my heart was going to break even more.

"I'm sorry." he squeaks.

"It's okay."

"No, it's not. I cheated on you Olivia. That's not okay." he says firmly.

"You were drunk, Niall." I assure, trying to calm him down.

"That's not an excuse. I was your boyfriend, and I ruined my chance with that."

"Look, Niall, I forgive you."

He was about to say something else, but pauses from my words. "You.. what?"

"I forgive you." I repeat.

"Really?" he says, perking up a bit. I nod, and he smiles.

"Thank you." he speaks quietly, it's almost in a whisper.

"Look, I need to actually tell you something." I say nervously. He shrugs.

"What?"

"Well... uhm... you're going to hate me for this." I sigh.

"No I won't. It can't be nearly as bad as what I did to you, Liv." he assures, and butterflies form in my stomach at the nickname he just gave me.

Liv.

"Well... okay..."

Niall nods, signaling me to go on. I sigh once again and stare at my hands that were placed in my lap.

"I... I... I kissed Louis." I say quietly, it was basically a whisper. I squeezed my eyes shut as tears began to form. I couldn't see Niall, but he was silent.

"You... you what?" he asks, trying not to yell. His breathing became heavier, and I panicked.

"I kissed Louis." I repeat, and I feel him get off the bed, standing up.

"Get out." he growls.

I jerk my head up at him as the tears finally spill. "What?" I ask, my voice cracking.

"I said get out."

I quickly stand up, wanting to cry even more. "Please, let me explain." I beg him, and he shakes his head.

"I don't want to see you. Get out of my dorm!" he yells, and I flinch. I ran over to the door and open it, slamming it shut behind me.

This is it. My heart is officially shattered.
