Chapter 20

---

"Niall you dot understand!" I said.

He turned around swiftly with tears in his eyes.

"Ni,"

"Save it. You lied to me. "

"I didn't lie to you." I said.

"Harry really? How could he do this to me. How could you do this to me." He spat.

"What are you talking about!" I yelled.

"He knew!"

"He knew what?" I asked.

"That I love you!"

And with that he dashed past me, leaving me in the alley completely and utterly confused.

"Abi please."

"Maddy please stop."

"Nope. Not until you talk."

I groaned.

"Why are you groaning? I should be. I'm sitting here with you in sweatpants whilst I have a date in a hour." She stood up.

"Woah, woah, woah, date?" I sat up in bed and the blankets that covered my face fell.

"Yeah. Why are you so surprised am I that ugly?" She laughed looking at the mirror that sat at my desk.

"No of course not! But with who?" I asked excitedly.

"Eh.. Cody." She smiled looking down.

"Hottie Aussie from the Elevator?"

She nodded.

"You have to go!" She's never acted like this about a boy! "You can wear some of my clothes." I said standing up and rushing over to my closet picking through pieces of clothing that I have purchased over the years. "You gotta look cute, but sexy ya'know? Sweet, but spicy."

"Yeah. I'll go if you tell me. If you don't, I'll just cancel." She shrugged laying back onto the bed.

"You're kidding right?" I questioned.

"Nope." She said popping the p.

"Fine." I said going over and sitting next to her.

"Go ahead." She smirked.

"Niall thinks I'm with Harry and I'm not but that's just the rumors in the pop world but no and I told him that we weren't together but he blew up and called me a liar and Harry called me to tell me that Niall called him and demanded to know why he was in Ireland and Harry panicked and hung up so Niall definitely thinks that we are together now for sure and I just-" I let out a choked sob and the tears fell freely down my face.

"What."

I took a deep breath.

"Niall told me he loves me."

Her eyes widened. "H-He-"

"And I'm pretty fucking sure he doesn't mean it the same why he meant it the past 18 years."

I stood up and walked to my closet and pulled out a mint green dress.

"You can wear this."

"Abi-"

I shook my head. "Do you want me to straighten your hair? Or curl?"

She sighed. "Straighten."
