( Video ^^ )

I wake up to the sound of Justin's alarm clock going off. Yes, I spent the night. I looked behind me and saw him sleeping. I also checked my phone. A video message from Niall was on the lock screen.

I opened up my phone and checked the message. He sent a video of him blowing a kiss and a text saying, "I'm sorry about that last night.. I really am, please come over. I love you xx"

I decided I was going to leave and see what Niall would say. Nothing happened with Justin.. besides him kissing me and I wasn't sure what to do with all this right now, so I had to go there.

I left Justin a note saying, "I had to go, I'm sorry. Text me :)"

I rush over to Niall's and see him waiting outside and as soon as he sees me, his face lights up like a bulb. He runs over and hugs me,

"(Y/N).. I'm so sorry. I really mean it." I hug back, "It's fine Niall.. It's whatever now." He looks at me, "No.. it's not 'whatever'." I don't say anything, and just look down a bit. "Hey," Niall mumbles, "Come inside. I have a surprise."

I followed him inside, wondering what the surprise was. He gestures for me to sit down, and I do. He walks across the room and grabs his guitar and sits next to me. Is he going to sing me a song to? "Niall.." I trail off. "No, (Y/N).. look.. lately I've been stressing over work and I've been taking it all out on you with these stupid little fights.. and last night while you were gone.. what you said before you left made me think." He says, also trailing off. "Niall.. I didn't mean it."

Last night when I had left, I was so mad and frustrated that I had told Niall that I was done because I was always giving my all and I got nothing in return. "(Y/N). I don't care if you didn't mean the 'done' part, but the other part was true. I was a terrible boyfriend, maybe still am, and I'm going to make up for it." "Ni-" he cuts me off by strumming his guitar. He begins to sing slowly,

"I figured it out.

I figured it out from black and white.

Seconds and hours.

Maybe they had to take some time.

I know how it goes.

I know how it goes from wrong and right.

Silence and sound.

Did they ever hold each other tight

Like us?

Did they ever fight

Like us?

You and I.

We don't wanna be like them.

We can make it 'til the end.

Nothing can come between

You and I.

Not even the Gods above

Can separate the two of us.

No, nothing can come between

You and I.

Oh, you and I." He looks up for a second and sees me. I half a smile. He continues again,

"I figured it out.

Saw the mistakes of up and down.

Meet in the middle.

There's always room for common ground.

I see what it's like.

I see what it's like for day and night.

Never together

'Cause they see things in a different light

Like us.

But they never tried

Like us.

You and I.

We don't wanna be like them.

We can make it 'til the end.

Nothing can come between

You and I.

Not even the Gods above

Can separate the two of us."

He trails off into strumming his guitar for about 20 seconds and then adds, "'Cause you and I..." hitting a high note. "We don't wanna be like them.

We can make it 'til the end.

Nothing can come between

You and I.

Not even the Gods above

Can separate the two of us.

No, nothing can come between

You and I.

You and I.

Oh, you and I.

Oh, you and I.

We can make it if we try.

You and I

Oh, you and I." He strums off into silence. "(Y/N).. there's plenty more songs.. trust me, but I figured I should sing this one. I'm truly sorry for everything."

I was already nearly crying, so I just hugged him really tight. I know Justin had just sang me a song.. and I was surprised by that.. but I was truly surprised by this. Lately Niall wasn't like this, and this really shocked me.

Niall and I talked it out, but I knew I had to tell him what happened last night and that I felt a bit for Justin. Niall was taken aback, "Wait.. you're cheating on me?" "No.. Niall.. I just.. I didn't know he liked me, I was too oblivious." I try to explain. "With Justin?" He lays his arms against his knees and puts his head in his hands.

He and Justin had met, long ago, Justin just didn't know that Niall was the one I was "with". Niall and I never told Justin. I lean over and put my hand on his shoulder. Niall gets up, and walks out. "Niall, Niall!" I shout. He didn't answer.. just kept walking. I followed him outside and shouted, "Where are you going?!" He stopped at his car and slightly turned around, "To Justins." "Niall.. No!" He got in the car and sped off.

"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck." I mumbled to myself. I ran inside and grabbed my stuff and went to head over to Justins.
