NIALL'S P.O.V.

We all turn to see Natalie running into the bathroom. The boys all look concerned, but it just made me even more sad. Zayn goes to the bathroom as Peter walks out and returns to us in after about five minutes.

He approaches me and says, "Niall, I know you don't want to hear it, but you need to let her explain. She's in a rough shape too because she's so worried. C'mon man."

"I can't" Is all I say as I walk towards the dressing room

I lay down on the couch in the dressing room and try not to think of the fucking guy I saw Natalie with.

The door opens and I'm expecting having to yell at one of the boys to get out, but I hear the voice of Natalie saying my name. That tears me up and my face shows it. I look at her and see pain all over her face and that pisses me off.

"Why the hell are you upset?" I yell "You're the one that cheated on me!"

Natalie looks like she's going to reply when she bolts for the bathroom in the dressing room. I stare, confused, at the bathroom door. Then I hear the sound of gaging.

"Oh shit" I say out loud, Zayn said she was in bad shape and she didn't look good

Natalie walks out of the bathroom and lays down on the couch.

"Just give me a second please" she says in a weak voice

I see the pain on her face and I realize how horrible of an experience this has been for her. I decide that I'm going to let her explain instead of walking out like I planned.

"Niall, please please understand that I really really like you. Let me explain. The boy in all those pictures is my best friend since I was basically born. He has basically been my "twin" because we have been inseparable since before we could talk. You know how protective Petey is of me, yeah Max is just as bad. The reason there are pictures with us hugging is because I haven't seen him in a while which is unusual for us. We had lunch and talked about you and he wanted to meet you. Since he has been my "twin" for so long he's really close with my family so he came over after lunch and we all hung out. It was getting late so Max slept over because my parents trust us because they know that I would never and I mean EVER date or do anything with Max. That would be like dating Petey. That's just gross. So I guess the paparazzi followed me and got all those pictures. When I saw them I got such bad anxiety and then you wouldn't answer your phone or let me explain. It's been a rough day." Natalie says while slowly walking towards me

"I shouldn't have believed what I saw. The paparazzi make up shit all the time. I'm an idiot." I say

"I should have told you who Max was before I hung out with him. I'm sorry." She replies

At the point we are close to each other and I grab her waist and pull her closer and kiss her. She immediately kisses back and it's like we haven't seen each other in forever.

The boys all burst in with concerned faces then huge smiles.

"Can we help you?" I ask

"We couldn't hear you guys talking anymore and got worried, but it looks like everything worked out." states Harry

"Is Petey with you guys?" Natalie asks

"Right here" he responds as walking through the boys

"Everything's all good you can go home now" she tells him

"Good joke, you're coming with me and I have a few choice words for Niall here." he says while glaring at me

Oh shit. Is all I can think.

"No, I'm fine and I worked it out so you can go home and there is no need for you to talk to Niall." Natalie says in a voice that I wouldn't want to disobey

"Fine I won't talk to him" he says staring daggers at me "but you have to come home. You need to eat and take your medication."

"I'm not hungry and now that the situation is over my anxiety is gone and I don't need the pills." She responds

I look at the boys and our faces look the same, we're all concerned. Did I really make her anxiety that bad? Does she get that bad anxiety? Why didn't she tell me?

"You know that after every anxiety attack you have to take them." Peter rebuttals

"Fine then I will take them when I get home tonight." Natalie

responds

"And how are you going to get home?" He asks

"I'm going to see if Max can pick me up so he can meet everyone. If that's okay with you guys?" She asks looking up at me

"Yeah it's fine, I wanna meet your "twin"." I say with a smile

"There it's settled, you can go now." Natalie says to Peter

"Fine, but if you don't take everything when you get home or eat nothing before coming home I'm going to be so pissed." Peter warns Natalie

"Okay and I'll be fine Petey stop worrying" She tells him while walking to give him a hug

"That's not gonna happen Faye, it's part of my job as big brother to worry." He says hugging her back
