He Gets Between You and Your Best Friend. (Part 2)

Niall: You decided that it would be best to try and make it up to her. What she’d said was both rude and true, so you knew that you couldn’t ignore it. The next day you showed up at her front door, told her you were so sorry for lying about spending yesterday with Niall, and asked her if you could go shopping now and you wouldn’t even mention Niall at all; you both would pretend that he didn’t even exist. She shook her head with a slight smile, accepting the apology. After that day, you never let Niall stand in between your friendship with your best friend. 

Harry: Like most people can and will tell you, long-distance relationships are hard to keep up with and usually don’t last very long. Just a few days after Harry left and you got in that fight with your best friend, he let you know that he didn’t think you should continue the relationship while he was so far away for several months. In your state of devastation, the only person that you thought to turn to was your best friend. When she first opened the door it was with a hard frown on her face, ready to turn you away for being a bitch the last time, but then she saw your face, tear tracks sparkling down your cheeks as your whole body shook. “Oh, Y/N, come in.” She wrapped her arms around you and let you sob into her shoulder, comforting you until you ran out of tears. 

Louis: The next time you saw her, it was at another party. She was smiling and talking to a group of girls that you sort of knew. Louis’ arm was draped around you as he talked to a few people, leaving you to do whatever you wanted as long as you didn’t leave his side. Since that last party you hadn’t heard a word from her. No calls, no tweets, no texts. Nothing. She wouldn’t respond to you and eventually you’d figured out that it was because of you ditching her at the party. Finally, you excused yourself from Louis’ side to go talk to her, but as soon as you approached her group, she frowned and walked away. “I don’t want to talk to you anymore, Y/N. All you ever did was ignore me whenever you were around Louis. I can’t be friends with you anymore.” Just like that, your friendship with her was broken.

Liam: The one time - one time - that she actually decided to hang out with the two of you, something terrible happened. You and Liam were fighting at the time, so that must’ve helped her agree since she knew you wouldn’t be all over each other. When Liam made one snarky comment, you stood up and left the house because you were done with being around him for a little while. Your best friend, or whatever she was at that point, tried her best to get him to open up and tell her what had gone wrong between him and you. She had given up on this jealousy thing, she decided to move on from Liam, and she could see that you were clearly in love with each other despite this bump in the road. Being the very best friend that she is, she helped him work his way over the bump to see where you stood on the other side, and when you finally returned a little while later, he apologized and you apologized. 

Zayn: "Zayn, can’t you see I’m trying to talk to her?" Your friend angrily asked when he tried pulling you away from her at a dinner party. "Well, maybe I have something more important to tell her." He slipped his fingers into your hand and continued his process of removing you from her. "No, Zayn. Stop it. I’m talking to her. God, you always do this, you know. I just wish that you’d stop it because it’s getting really annoying." You tore your hand away from his and resumed your conversation with her. Behind you, Zayn whined for a second before stepping forward and sliding his hand into yours again, just running his thumb lightly over the back of your hand. He stayed silent while you finished up the conversation with her until you turned to him. "What was so important earlier that you had to tell me?" He smiled and leaned in until his lips were brushing your ear as he said, "I love you."
