Chapter 25: 

Once we arrived I quickly walked up to the floor that Niall’s flat was on. I had to talk to him and figure out what was wrong. I had to end it with him so that he could be happy. So that Alice could be happy. So that I could be happy.

I walked over to Niall’s flat and saw the door open. I walked in and looked around. The room looked like it always had plain, white walls with the red furniture. I remembered when we picked out the furniture together. All the boys were terrible at picking out paints and colors. Louis wanted to do some orange combination, but I had quickly changed his mind. The last thing we all needed to give the fans was another reason to annoy him about the whole carrot thing. Niall was easier to buy furniture for. We both agreed on the red and white color scheme.

I tip toed to his room and heard two familiar voices inside the room. Niall was crying and a female voice was comforting him. I pressed my ear to the door and listen to the conversation.

“Niall, Sophie did nothing wrong. She loves you.” I heard Alice’s voice coo.

“But she loves Zayn more, doesn’t she? She kissed him, during a performance!”

“Sophie kissed him on the cheek. You know she kisses all of the lads on the cheek every now and then.” Alice said it like it was no big deal.

Niall sounded like he was sobbing, not just crying, sobbing. “I hate her. She can have Zayn, they deserve each other.”

I felt a pit in my stomach and I leaned against the wall. I leaned my head on the wall and sighed. Alice knew that I was going to break up with Niall, I don’t understand why she was comforting him. Then it hit me and I remembered what Harry and Louis told me.

**Flashback**

“Alice doesn’t fancy Zayn.” Louis admitted.

I raised my eyebrow. “Who does she fancy?”

“Niall.” Harry confessed.

“Oh no…” I groaned. “I have to talk to her.”

“No!” Harry and Louis said at the same time.

“You can’t, Sophie. I shouldn’t have told you.” Harry said as his smile faded and a frown replaced it.

“I just have to break up with Niall, don’t I?” I collapsed on the couch. “I’m hurting all three of them, aren’t I?”

*End Flashback?*

“Don’t say that!” Alice said sticking up for me. “Niall, you know you love Sophie. Why are you looking for a reason to get mad at her?  Sophie and Zayn sang ‘Ass Back Home’ and she gave him a friendly peck on the cheek after the song. I don’t know why you are making this a bigger deal than it needs to be.” 

“No I’m not!” He cried and yelled at her.  “Why would she leave me for him?”

“She isn’t goin—,” she started and Niall interrupted her.

“But why would she!?”

Alice sighed. “If she leaves you for Zayn, I think that would be the stupidest thing that she could ever do.”

“Kiss me.” My heart stopped when I heard Niall say that. “You fancy me, don’t you? Harry told me that you do and to keep my distance so I don’t lead you on.”
