Come And Go (Sequel to Unpredictable)

Chapter 19

Niall's POV

It had been a few days since the argument between Liam and I, in the end Zayn didn't text back but I'm convinced nothing happened. In school they seemed to be distant, but whenever I glanced over Zayn would say something to him. It was probably a load of rubbish but it still hurt knowing there was still something between them.

"Niall, why don't you just go over to him? You haven't stopped staring since we sat down to eat." Harry sighed, I took my eyes away from Liam and looked over to him.

"You know I can't do that, it will just make things worse."

"How do you know if you haven't tried?" Louis perked up, Harry nodded alongside him and I sighed deeply.

"I just-he's with Zayn and he won't make things easy will he?" Harry ran his fingers through his curls and shrugged his shoulders.

"Just go Niall, it's the least you can do." I sighed in defeat and stood up, dropping my wrap on the table and brushing myself down.

"Go!" Louis snapped, I rolled my eyes at him and slowly made my way over to them. It honestly felt like all eyes in the room were on me, I felt myself getting hotter but soon brushed it off when I realised I was now stood in front of them.

"What do you want?" Zayn snarled, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms.

"I came to talk to Liam not you." He let out a small laugh,

"And how do you know he wants to talk to you?" I looked at Liam and raised my eyebrow.

"See, he's stayed silent. He doesn't want to talk to you."

"Just back off Zayn." I replied, ignoring Zayn's ongoing comments. He continued to ramble on and I tilted my head and looked at Liam who just stared back blankly,

"He's made it obvious he doesn't need you anymore s-"

"JUST FUCK OFF ZAYN!" My eyes widened as Liam turned on Zayn and shoved him away,

"Jheeze." Zayn replied, shrugging his jacket back on.

"I don't need you to fight my battles for me, now piss off." Zayn mumbled something before walking away in a huff, I diverted my eyes back to Liam who gestured sideways.

"Let's go somewhere more private," I looked around and noticed the whole canteen were staring at us, so we walked out onto the field down to the far end.

"You were pretty brave then." I said, breaking the silence. Liam shrugged slightly and sat down,

"I'd had enough of him constantly going on with himself, saying I didn't need you and that you didn't love me." He lowered his head, I stayed silent before placing my hand on his.

"You know that isn't true Li, to be honest I'm head over heels for you. I hate how cheesy that line is but it's true." He looked up and smiled before pulling his hand away.

"Things aren't the same anymore now though, you and Zayn practically hate each other's guts. I'm stuck in the middle, you keep accusing me of cheating, you're clearly not doing well because you look extremely rough, sorry..." I rested my head in my hand and rubbed my forehead.

"The only reason I hate Zayn is because he took advantage of you. I'm pretty sure we could sort these things out between us, we have been best friends for almost a lifetime. I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating Li, but now you have the time to explain what happened. I promise to listen to everything you have to say." He nodded and I crossed my legs to listen.

"I've told you this before, I honestly wasn't thinking about Zayn when I was kissing him. My mind was on you, it had been the whole time you were gone. Not having you around was messing with my head, just like it has been the past few days. I promise you the kiss meant nothing, I just missed you. Then I immediately regretted it, I made Zayn take me home and leave and it upset me. I couldn't believe what I had done and I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to hurt you. However you found out anyway." I grabbed him and pulled him into my arms, kissing his forehead softly.

"Liam I'm so sorry, I never meant for you to hurt so much. I mean it killed me inside knowing that you two had kissed, but I wanted to make it up to you. I didn't know how, but I wanted to. I feel so bad for flipping out at you and being horrible to you, I hate myself for it. I just need to know if you can forgive me." He sadly pulled away from my arms and began picking the grass,

"I want to, but the things you said hurt me a lot. You basically told me to go and sleep with Zayn, you don't understand how bad I wanted to just so I could hurt you. Yet I couldn't do it, I had told myself that I was saving myself for you because you're the one I love." I shook my head and refrained from crying.

"I love you too and I'm proud of you for not giving in, I regret what I said to you, I honestly do."

"But it still hurt, and I don't know if I'm ready to be hurt all over again." I laced my fingers in his,

"Liam you know hurting you is the last thing I want to do." He stared up at me with watery eyes.

"You've done it before Niall, countless amounts of times, how do I know you're not going to do it again?" A tear fell from my cheek onto our connected hands.

"Liam I'm so sorry, I promise I won't hurt you again. Forgive me?" I pleaded,

"It's not that easy Niall and don't make promises you can't keep, they're a big thing.

"I can keep them though Liam, I'm going to try my best to. What else can I do?" I sobbed, ignoring the bell ringing in the distance and holding onto Liam more.

"I just don't want you to hurt me again, you were the reason I moved abroad and you're lucky I came back." I frowned,

"Liam please, I've forgiven you for kissing Zayn but you're finding it harder to forgive me for saying some bad things to you." He rolled his eyes.

"Are you being serious Niall? Bad things? You broke my heart."

"And you broke mine..." I trailed off. We both stared at each other, sobbing quietly.

"I just want to forget this." Liam sighed, resting his forehead against mine.

"Me too." I confessed, staring down at him.

"Am I forgiven?" I asked, he nodded, brushing his nose against mine. I smiled and leant down, kissing him softly. Finally, we were back.
