"Lola, please sit down. We can explain everything." Zayn said, trying to calm her down.

"No. No! Do you realize how fucked up this is?" She screeched. "For fucks sake! Megan, do you not understand how hurt Niall would be if he found out about this? He has been nothing but good to you these past few months."

"Lola, let me talk for a second." I pleaded with her but she kept talking.

"And as for you," she pointed her finger out at Zayn, "I don't know if you remember, but you're engaged. You know? To be fucking married. What the hell are you thinking?"

"We would tell you what we were thinking if you would shut up for two seconds!" Zayn yelled. Lola's mouth clamped shut finally, allowing Zayn to continue. "First off, you really shouldn't be coming into somebody's room without their consent. That's just rude. Second, it's really not what it looks like."

"Not what it looks like? Oh, okay. So what? You guys were just making out because you wanted to become closer friends or something?" She scoffed.

"Okay, stop being a smart ass." I barked. "We never meant for this to happen, Lola. Just sit down, and hear us out."

Lola stood with her arms crossed over her chest for a good while until she stomped over to the couch and sat down. "I'm listening."

--------- ZAYN'S P.O.V.--------

Megan looked over at me, wanting me to begin the talking. I hesitated at first, not wanting to be the one to expose everything. But, I stopped resisting and gave in, remembering that this whole thing was technically my fault anyways.

"A few days after you girls joined us on tour, I perused Megan to help me fill the void that had been caused by Perrie's absence. I wanted somebody to sleep with whenever and wherever I pleased. And since I thought Megan was very attractive and knew she was going to be around all the time, I chose her." I explained. I mentally cringed realizing how fucked up what I just said sounded.

"So, what your saying is you guys are just fucking?"

Megan and I both exchanged glances, not exactly sure how to continue. We technically weren't together but, we were sure much more than just fuck buddies.

"Well, uh, yeah. You could say that." Megan mumbled.

"Well don't you think you guys should quit this since Zayn is engaged now?" She asked, reminding me once again about something I wish I could take back.

"It's not that simple, Lola." Megan argued.

"And why not?"

"We got a little more that we bargained for." I said.

"What do you mean? Oh, god! Are you pregnant?" She exclaimed.

"No! Of course I'm not!" Megan scoffed, rolling her eyes and throwing her hands in the air. "Don't just assume the worst here."

"I walk in on my best friend cheating on her boyfriend with his engaged best friend. I think I hold the right to think the worst."

She had a point.

"We never meant for it to go this far." I stepped in. "This isn't the first time I've slept with other girls while I was dating Perrie. I could always just sleep with somebody and then drop them like nothing. I never had a problem with it. But with Megan, it wasn't like that. We had slept together only once before she went on her first date with Niall. Then, once her and Niall were officially a couple, she tried to stop what was going on but I didn't let her. I couldn't. I begged her to stay." I sighed.

Looking back on it, if I would have let her walk away, it would have been the best for us. Right now, she would be happy with Niall and just Niall. She wouldn't have to put up with my bullshit or the constant hiding. We wouldn't of had that fight.

I wouldn't have proposed to Perrie.

"I fell in love with him. That's why I stayed." Megan said, brining me out of my thoughts. I looked down at her and smiled because, even though I should have let her walk away, I'm glad I didn't.

Who said love was simple and easy?

"Well, if you two are so smitten with each other, why did Zayn propose? Why didn't he just break up with Perrie and be with you?" Lola asked, proving my thoughts about love to be correct.

"We got in a fight. We got in a fight and we ended things. And we tried to go our separate ways. In some cases more extreme than others." Megan said, shooting me a glare on the last part.

"Well, what are you guys going to do now?"

I wish I knew.

------- MEGAN'S P.O.V.-------

After a little while, Zayn went back to his own room and left Lola and I alone to talk. I secretly hated him for leaving, not wanting to talk to Lola anymore.

"I can't believe it. I honestly can't believe it." She said, making me roll my eyes.

"Well, believe it." I mumbled.

"I wonder what the media will say."

"Uh, nothing. Because they aren't going to find out." I snapped. Lola was a good friend, my best friend, but I wouldn't hesitate to drop her if she sold us out.

"Well they obviously will once Zayn breaks off the engagement." My heart dropped slightly at her statement knowing that that wasn't even an option.

"Zayn isn't breaking off the engagement." I whispered.

"What? So you're just going to let him marry her?"

"I don't have any other choice."
