Hailey's POV

Harry noticed Niall waking up and backed away. I look over at Niall and kiss his forehead.

" Are... We... There... Yet.? " he yawns.

" No baby, we are about a hour away, " I say rubbing his back. He turns a little and smiles at me before falling asleep again. Harry keeps looking at me, but I try my hardest to ignore him. I finally fall asleep. I wake up to hear Niall say something about being there. I yawn and stretch. We get off the plane and get in a limo. We drive two and a half hours to my hometown, McGehee. We get into town and the boys talk about how small the town is. I give the driver directions to my house. When we pull up to the familiar white house, tears stream down my face. I sigh and toughen up before stepping out holding Niall's hand. We walk on the front porch and I unlock the front door. The house still had the fresh scent my mother loved. The house was as clean as always. We walk to my room. All the boys plop down on my bed.

" HEY THERE'S ME! " Zayn yells.

" Oh.. Yeah.. I lied when we first met... I was a fan.. " I say quietly.

" Hello kitty, " Harry says laughing.

" I. Am. Not. Obsessed. " I laugh. The boys and I just sit on my bed for a while. Finally Niall speaks.

" I wanna see my princess as a baby, " he smiles before kissing me. I find an old photo album and show him the old pictures of me.

" Guys? " I say softly. " Can we stay here tonight? " I ask while tears fill my eyes.

" Yes, " Liam says immediately.

" Anything for you love, " Louis says. So we go into the living room and move the sectional couch to make a bed. We all pile on it and watch a scary movie. Niall falls asleep while holding me.

" Two of you can stay in my parents bed, " I say before shaking Niall awake. I all but drag him into my bedroom. We get into my bed and he wraps his arms around me.

" Sleep tight, Beautiful, " I whisper into his ear before falling asleep. We wake up at eight, giving us two and a half hours until the funeral. The boys all put on black suits and I put on a long black dress. We ride to the funeral home and wait for the director. I give him some notecards I had made about my family. Finally, the funeral begins. As they open the caskets, I see just how bad I miss them. I begin to bawl and all the boys hold me tight. I notice my parent's friends, our neighbors, all my siblings friends. My brothers ex girlfriend. Finally, I see one of my ex's, Justin. He was Lexi's cousin. Speak of the devil, she walked in. We go to the cemetery and the burial takes place. The boys carry the caskets, but Niall stays to hold me tight and whisper into my ear.

" It's ok. They love you. They're proud, " he keeps saying. Finally, it's all over. Justin and Lexi walk over towards me.

" How dare you show up here, " I say, staring into Lexi's eyes.

" Your parents loved me. So did your brother... In bed, " she laughs.

" Don't make jokes, Lexi. They're freaking dead! " I yell. Justin looks at me with his blue eyes shinning.

" You look sexy, " he smiles. Niall, Liam, Louis, Harry, and Zayn were signing autographs for some of my classmates.

" Thanks, " I mumble. Justin leans forward and kisses me. " STOP! " I scream. He jumps back, but Niall only saw us kiss.

" What the heck is going on?! " he demands.

" Niall. Let's go to my house, " I say quietly. He finally agrees and we go back.

" Why? Hailey, I love you! Then we get here and you're kissing some ex?! What is the deal?! " he screams. I start crying. " That won't work. Hailey, you just cheated on me! You know what? Maybe I should have let you go the first time! And to think, I was the bad guy then. You're such a fake. You lied about being a fan! And now this? No! It's OVER! " he yells before storming out. I hear the door slam and I fall back against the wall and cry my eyes out. I finally crawl over to my bed and climb into it before crying myself to sleep.

Niall's POV

It's over. I guess it's for the best. Drama seems to love messing with our relationship anyway. I didn't deserve her anyway. Maybe that Justin guy is better for her. I sign and pull out my phone. I see one new text message from a strange number.

" Next a girl? You always have me Niall. I'm drunk and reallllyyyy want you, --Lexii " I sigh and throw my phone down. I finally pick it back up and text her the hotel I was at. She showed up after twenty minutes.

" Hey sexy, " she said seductively. She was only in a playboy bunny outfit.

' What am I doing? ' I think to myself. " Lexi. Leave. I shouldn't have done this, " I speak softly. She pulls my face closer and kisses me, right as a bright light flashes at the window. She leaves and I go to sleep.

Hailey's POV

I turn over and notice Niall's not there. That's when I remember our fight. I sigh and look online to see if it was all over the Internet. Instead, a picture of Niall without a shirt and a girl half naked kissing was everywhere. What the... Lexi.
