Josh’s POV

I couldn’t believe the audacity of both Zayn and Niall. I couldn’t believe Zayn for just waltzing into mine and Niall’s home and Niall for more or less forgiving Zayn after all the hurt and betrayal he put him through. I, for one, am never going to forgive Zayn for how much he’s hurt Niall, although he gets upset about it all nearly every day, he is seriously one of the strongest people I have ever known.

 

Ever since I first met Niall, a few days after he had been released from Zayn and the others, I could tell he was hurting, every single day and I tried my best to help him, to cheer him up, but I just couldn’t, some days he would smile, but it would never reach his eyes. It broke my heart seeing my best friend in pieces.

 

I shook the thoughts from my head as I saw Zayn pull back from hugging Niall with hurt written all over his face.

 

“I really do miss you, but I can’t completely forgive you. I understand why you couldn’t say goodbye on that day, that doesn’t bother me as much as it used to now I know what happened. You spent almost a full year watching me, not coming near me! 365 days, Zayn!  You watched me break every single day. I’m sorry, I can’t be with you. Not yet.” I internally smiled, I was so proud of Niall, even though it probably killed him to tell Zayn that, I was happy, he was showing Zayn that he’s not to be walked all over.

 

“No! Niall, please! Don’t do this; I really want to be with you.” Zayn cried. I knew this was my cue to stand up as Niall looked at me hopelessly.

 

“Zayn, Niall has told you what he wants; I think it’s best for you to leave.” Zayn goes to open his mouth to talk, but closes it and looks towards the floor. I took a step forwards and placed a hand on Zayn’s shoulder. I turned and faced him towards the door and he started walking out. I stood next to Niall and wrapped my arm around his shoulder, showing him I’m there for him.

 

When Zayn got to the door, he opened it and turned around, looking up at Niall. I knew Niall had tears in his eyes, but I wouldn’t say anything to him until Zayn had completely left.

 

“Niall, I’m really sorry, I hope that one day you can forgive me for my stupid ways.” I heard Niall choke back a sob as Zayn wiped a tear away whilst walking out of the front door, the door quietly shut as Niall burst into tears. I cradled him into my chest holding him tight, so he was crying on my shoulder.

 

The door suddenly burst open again and Niall quickly pulled away from me, wiping his tears.

 

“I’m going to fight for you, Niall. I’m not giving up! I promise.” Zayn cried before running over to Niall, and placing his lips on his. Hell no, he’s not doing this. I stepped forwards and pushed Zayn away from Niall and glared at him.

 

“No! Get out of our home Zayn, right now, before I call the police!” Zayn rolled his eyes at me and left once again, not before turning around and glaring at me.

 

I looked to Niall to see he had shock written all over his face, he was frozen. I placed my hands on his shoulder and started gently shaking him, snapping him out of the trance. Niall’s eyes widened as he obviously started thinking of what just happened with Zayn.

 

“J-Josh! He just k-kissed me!” Niall stuttered. I nodded and pulled Niall into a hug. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around me and sighed, rather loudly.

“What’s wrong Niall? I know what just happened, but why are you sighing?” I hoped he wasn’t going to say what I was thinking, that would be devastating.

 

“I just don’t know if what I did is the right thing, that’s all.” My heart dropped,  I knew it.

“I can show you how someone is supposed to treat their partner, or loved one. I’ll show you why you shouldn’t go back to Zayn. I’ll show you how much I can care for you and not make you cry every day.” Niall was gobsmacked, as I knew he would be, I had never actually expressed my feeling towards him. I had never told him how I actually feel.

 

“Josh! You’re my best friend; you don’t even like me like that, so it’s pointless!” Niall rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa. I joined him on the sofa and patted his leg, looking deep into his eyes.

“I do though, Niall. I do feel for you like that. I like you, Niall. More than a friend!” Niall looked at me wide eyed, and I really knew he wouldn’t take this so well. I’ve always hidden my feelings, as I knew Niall was in love with someone else, but now that someone else has fucked up, it’s time for me to save the day, and I knew that day would come someday. It’s time for me to sweep Niall off his feet.

It’s time to make Niall fall for me.
