I Didn't (Zianourry // Niall Centric)

Third Person's POV

"I saw Niall kissing Josh in the locker room yesterday."

These words were circulating around Liam's, Louis's, Harry's, and Zayn's heads all day long. How could Niall do this to them? They were all in a relationship, but no one knew about it, so when one of their mates at school told them about Niall's dirty deed, he didn't know that he was basically telling his boyfriends that the faux blonde boy cheated on them. But what they didn't know, that this guy knew about them, and wanted to break them apart, or at least make them break up with Niall. He's always felt a dislike towards the Irish man.

They avoided Niall at all expenses throughout the entire day, and even shrugged him off when he attempted to greet them at their shared classes.

Niall was left clueless at his boyfriends' bizarre attitude. What was going on? He decided to question them once they all go home.

The school day flies by, and Niall's mind is still occupied by his boyfriends' weird antics. He racked his mind in thoughts that maybe he has done something to upset them, but he came out with nothing.

When he finally reached home, he was relieved to find them all there.

"Hi boys." He greeted them quietly. To his surprise, they gave him a look of disgust, then turned around in sync and left the living room. Niall's heart clenched in sadness. He must've done something to make them all upset like that. All his insecurities came rushing back. None of the boys knew that, but Niall suffered from depression once upon a time; it was basically because he felt inadequate, or more specifically to him, a fuck up. So when his boyfriends gave him the same looks his old school bullies did, he couldn't help but let all the pain he's ever felt, hit his body like a tidal wave.

He managed to fuck it up with the only people he cared about, they were his entirety, and he deeply upset them. It wasn't like their usual arguments, this one was serious, and it was his fault, not Louis's, like usual.

He went up to the guest room, he was sure they wouldn't want him sleeping with them. He curled up into a ball on the bed, and let the waterworks explode. He cried because he vowed to himself he wouldn't upset them, because they hated him, because of the look of disgust they gave him, because he was a fuck up, because the pain he thought has finally left him, made an appearance again, finally because he didn't know what he actually did.

Harry excused himself to sleep because he was feeling exhausted. On his way to their room, he heard sobs emitted from the guest room, and labeled them as Niall's. His heart ached at the sound of him, and he oh so desperately wanted to go in and hold him, but he couldn't do that; Niall cheated on them.

He reluctantly passed Niall's current residence, and went to their room. As he laid in bed, he thought about the words they heard today. It wasn't in Niall to do something like that, out of all of them, he was the most affectionate, meaning he showed his love to them the most, so why would he do something like that. The puzzle pieces weren't fitting.

More days passed and Niall's self-hate worsened. His boys were avoiding him even more if that were possible. It was like, he never meant anything to them. Niall just didn't know what he did, and his subconscious convinced him that they finally saw how worthless he is, and them being so kind, decided to just ignore him until he left, instead of straight out breaking up with him. Niall thought that if they broke up with him, it would've been somehow better, because he has to see them acting all sweet with each other, and he's just standing in their shadows, watching. But then again, he would've suffered similar if not the same pain.
