Letting Go (Niall Horan AU)

Chapter 48

October

.................

It's the day since the alleged not-so-annual party. Half the campus is stumbling around with massive headaches and probably some STDs. I push my way past girls half naked, dragging their feet down the hall way to their dorms.

When I reach my door I open it and see Niall is sitting on my bed. I walk over and notice the cheesecake he is holding in his lap.

"Why do you have an entire cheesecake?" I ask.

"Tober I have to talk to you about something." He says handing me a fork.

I eye him suspiciously knowing it can't be good. My heart beats faster at the possibilities that circle my brain. I take a bite of the middle if the cheesecake and nod cautiously.

"So as you know I went to the party last night..." Niall trails off.

"Yeah...... And?"

"W-well I kinda got drunk for the first time in a while." He says wringing his hands.

"Why would I be mad about that? I don't mind."

"It's not that I- uh... Me and Harry..."

"Kissed?" I squeaked out.

"No we uh... W-we slept together." He stutters not meeting my eyes.

"You had sex with Harry?" I whisper not believing it.

"Yes." Niall sighs and finally looks up with a worried expression.

My eyes fill with tears that I refuse to let spill over.

"A-are you leaving me for him?" I choke out.

"No! October I could never do that to you! I-I was drunk he was also, and I just missed him so much one thing led to another a-and I just missed him so much October. I woke up this morning and realized what happened and w-we said good bye I swear it was just this time, it was our last goodbye. It's won't ever happen again because I don't wanna lose you both, and I promise I love you more than anyone." Niall rambles catching his breath at the end.

"You love me?" I ask quietly, already starting to forgive him.

"I do." He confesses.

"And I know that I should regret what Harry and I did, but I don't. I think it needed to happen, it was just closure ya know? I just feel absolutely terrible that I did this to you." He says running his fingers through his hair.

"Niall I understand."

"Really, I am so so so sorry." He answers.

"I know, and I forgive you. I admit it hurts a lot. I mean your my boyfriend and Harry is my best friend for gods sake. It's just really overwhelming at the moment." I forgive him but I want to scream and just plain cry because my boyfriend just cheated on me with my best friend.

"I don't expect you to want to hang out with me right now, so I'm gonna give you some space okay? Call me is you need anything, and please don't do anything." He says as he gets up and walks towards the door.

I just a nod in response wanting be alone for a while.

"I mean it October do not hurt yourself because I fucked up." He says leaving me alone to eat my cheesecake.

Sorry it was super short and boring but I gotta go watch a season of supernatural. I just wanted to update because I haven't in a while. Okay bye :)
