Temptations [Niall Horan]

Chapter 15

------Niall's POV-----

"What the fuck was that for!?" Harry shouted, holding his arm.

I glared at him, towering over him.

"I'm not doing that. What the fuck are you thinkin, Harry!? Ronnie would surely break up with me then, and not only that, I'd get fuckin suspended!" I shouted.

"That's not my fault! It's the only way you're going to convince everyone that you truly are one of us.... that you really are someone that shouldn't be messed with, Niall!" he sighed.

I dropped my head, knowing he was right. But who was I kidding?

I'd never done drugs before. That was too shallow, even for me. I couldn't believe Harry would even think to suggest something like that.

"Listen Haz... I just can't. If Ronnie finds out, I..... I can't live without her. Ya know how much I love her!"

He stood up, still clutching the spot on his arm where I'd hit him.

"Come on Niall. Don't be a fucking pussy. It's really not that bad, I mean I've done it before, and it's harmless. It'll make you feel better than when you get drunk," He explained.

I tried to convince myself, maybe it wasn't that bad. But....

But I still couldn't. I couldn't risk it.

"No Harry. No."

He smirked, grasping my shoulders. "Look Niall. I'm going over to a friends tonight, why don't you join me, and-"

"No. I said no."

He glared at me, gripping me harder. "Don't be a pussy Niall."

I sighed, looking him in the eye. "Ya know what Harry? I..... I don't even know if I want to have this image anymore. I can hardly walk to class without people fuckin cowerin away from me! And I don't want to be this type of person if that means I'll be losing Ronnie. I've worked so fuckin hard, just to get her to even talk to me. I'm not gonna be the dickhead that fucks things up just when my luck is finally changin."

The look on his face now was one of pure anger.

"Niall, what are you saying?! Fuck.... you really have changed. I thought we were friends for life, and now you're just... soft. Soft guys don't get shit Niall, I hope you know that. If you still want to be friends, then you're coming with me to that party, and you're doing whatever shit Danny decides to bring, whether you like it or not. Take your pick. Me.... or the bitch you call your girlfriend."

It hurt me to have to make this decision. Harry had been my best friend the entire four years I'd been here. I couldn't let him go! But....

I was in love.

And if he couldn't accept that... then he wasn't my true friend.

I looked away from him, clenching my jaw.

"Harry... I'm done."

He stared at me, hurt evident in his eyes.

"Wow. I... Niall.... Mate, we're supposed to be best friends forever. Why can't-"

"I said no, Harry. You ether accept my decision or...... get the fuck out." He glared at me, a frown on his face.

"So this is what it's come to. A girl splitting us up. That just goes to show, you're the shittiest friend anyone could have. You know what? I'm the one that's done. Have fun without me," he spat, marching towards the door. I listened as he stomped across the room, opening it.
