Temptations [Niall Horan]

Chapter 20

"No, I love you more," I giggled into the phone, pressing the button on the elevator.

"Noooo, I love you more!" Niall said into the phone, the smile evident on his face.

"Ugh, fine you win," I smirked, rolling my eyes. He chuckled into the phone, silently cheering. We said our goodbyes, and I promised I'd come by and see him soon, before hanging up.

I stepped out of the elevator, walking down the hallway to my dorm. I smiled when I saw one of my friends from history class...but was ignored.

"Hi Fliss!" I called, smiling at my other friend from Maths.

"Oh.... h-hi Ronnie," she muttered, a worried look on her face. I raised an eyebrow.

Why was everyone acting so weird??

"Um, is everything ok?" I asked. She smiled, but it was obviously forced.

"Um, ya... I....gotta go do something...I forgot to do before I left! I'll see you around!"

With that, she was off.

That was odd...

And the more I walked towards my dorm, the weirder people became. It was almost as if they were trying to avoid me...

I shrugged it off as I opened the door, smiling as the smell of my own room wafted through the air. I slipped off my purse, setting it on the dresser.

"Hey Bec-"

I cut myself off when I saw her standing in the middle of the room, her arms folded, and a furious look on her face.

"Um... are you ok-"

"NO! No Ronnie, I'm not 'okay'!!" She yelled, stepping towards me.

What was going on??

"B-Becca what's the matter?" I asked, clueless. Her face became red as she clenched her teeth.

"You didn't tell me!"

My heart began to beat faster at her words.

"T-Tell you about what?" I silently asked, hoping this wasn't about what I thought it was...

She grabbed me by my shoulders, shoving her face in mine.

"About Niall!" She spat. My heart dropped, exploded, and disintegrated right then and there. I only stared at her, tears rushing to my eyes.

"Oh..." I muttered, biting my lip.

"Yeah, 'oh'! Ronnie you could've been hurt! You could've...byou could've died!" she rambled, hugging me close.

Okay, now I was confused. What the hell was she talking about?

"Bec?? What do you mean?" I asked, rubbing her back as she cried into my shoulder.

"I... I saw the picture... the picture of him attacking you!" she cried, clutching me tightly.

"What!? Show me!" I commanded, ushering her to grab her phone.

"T-this got sent out to everyone on campus last night... it's a picture of him attacking you!" she sniffled, handing me her phone. I shakily took it, my mouth dropping when I saw what was on the screen.

It was a picture of Niall and I from last night... when we were in the clearing. The picture showed Niall hunched over me, his lips on my neck. I was in mid laugh, a strained smile on my face.

I began laughing at the picture, finding it funny that Becca thought he was attacking me. He'd never do such a thing!

"W-Why are you laughing!?" she shrieked, wiping the tears from her eyes.
