The Duet

16.

*Niall's POV*

"Okay, Safe travels. I bet you're tired of getting on a plane." I said to Zayn.

"Trust me, you have no idea. That's how I got over my fear of heights though." He said.

"Yeah it's something beneficial about it I guess." I said.

"A conversation for  another time." He said and I smiled.

"Well we'll be going now." I said sighing.

He pulled me into a nice soft but tight hug. "I don't know what I'm going to do Zayn." I said.

"Don't do anything yet. You'd be acting irrational and making decisions based only off of feelings. Let your reasoning speak to you. Remember?" He said pulling away.

"It's been a week, I think this is my reasoning." I said.

He frowned a little. "Well you know that's for you to decide. I'll let you be. Make that decision then." He said.

"Alright. Talk to you later." I said and he nodded before him and Gigi made his way to their car and we got in ours.

I looked down at the ring. "You're one sick human being." I said taking it off.

"Niall I love you." He said.

"I would love me too. But I do love you Liam. I do but I can't forgive that. What you did I can't. You didn't consider the consequences. You didn't. You couldn't have. And why? I'm enough and I've been enough for so many years. There is nothing you can say to me nothing at all. Not even this." I said handing him back the ring. "That's not how you change things Liam. That's not how you try to make up for things. I cheated on you now marry me? No. You think everything is going to work out the way you want it right? Liam the world doesn't revolve around you." I said.  

"I know I know but I couldn't think of anything else. I've had this ring for a while now and I never knew when was the right time and I thought it could make up for it. A vow that I would only be with you. I love you so much and what I did was wrong. Very wrong. Please believe that I will never do it again. I will never lie to you again if you can just forgive me Niall." He said.

"You're going to be honest with me?" I said and He nodded.

"When did you do it, where did you do it and who did you sleep with." I asked and he sighed holding his head down.

"Niall-" he began.

"No. Tell me." I said.

"In our bed, the day after your birthday party with Gigi." He said and after every answer I got madder and madder.

"Stop the car." I told the driver and he looked at me through my rear view mirror.

"Stop the car." I said again and he pulled over.

"How fucking dare you? In our bed? I slept on those fucking sheets the same day? With Gigi? Are you fucking insane. The day after my birthday? I should kill you. I should kill you but I'm not. I don't want to speak to you again." I said and I tried to get out the car.

"Niall." He said.

"I don't want to fucking hear it." I said and looked at the driver.

"Unlock the door." I said.

"Don't." Liam said.

"I need to get away from you right now. I don't want to be by you, near you, in the same vicinity as you. I need to get away. Now." I said. "Now unlock the door." I said to the driver and he did it.
