Chapter Seven: Hmm, betreyal? I think so!

Chapter Seven

            P. O. V. = Madison Newman

            “Am I really that horrid at lying?” I asked Niall resting my head on his shoulder; I had been sitting with Niall for nearly thirty minutes just talking. I don’t know why I just ditched Louis, Zayn, Harry, and Liam, it was just they felt so comfortable around me and it drove me crazy that I couldn’t be completely honest. Luckily Niall wasn’t as gullible as the rest so I actually had someone to console me; I couldn’t tell Kaitlin about One Direction she would pitch a fit for not telling her sooner.

            “Yeah, but the others are so thick it hadn’t occurred to them yet,” Niall laughed playing with a strand of my hair, braiding it I think. It was actually really easy to open up to Niall, he’s such a good listener and I feel like I can literally tell him anything. I guess he just has that personality that makes you want to talk.

            “So you think they’re still at the pier?” I asked sitting up a little then deciding to lay my head on Niall’s lap, he just laughed. Hmm, he was really comfy. He shifted a little and I sat up again, his eyes were focused on mine and for a while we just sat there. Slowly he leaned in and I leaned in too, I don’t know why exactly but I leaned in and I allowed him to kiss me. Maybe it was the fact he was the only person I was completely honest with or maybe it was his wonderful personality that just drew me in. The kiss was sweet, not exactly anything spectacular but more than just a peck.

            “Oh my God, Hazza, we were right!” I heard Louis scream excitedly as he walked in on us and our umm . . . kiss. He wore a sly expression why Harry came next wearing a shocked and slightly hurt one, had they seen us? I mentally slapped myself, of course they saw it! Did you see the devious expression on Lou’s face?

            “Niall? Maddie? What’s going on?” I heard Liam say as him and Zayn walked on us too, I knew I probably had a very sheepish expression plastered onto my face like Niall did, why did Liam look so hurt? I mean it’s not like we’re dating, I can kiss whomever I want. He may be Daddy Direction but he’s not my father!

            “We kissed!” I huffed feeling terrible the moment the words came out of my mouth, both Harry and Liam looked at me with an utter shock whilst Louis did some sort of happy dance pulling Zayn in too.

            “We knew it Hazza! Wait, why aren’t you dancing with me?” Lou asked hurt, Harry just shook his head, he and Liam looked like they were frozen in time. What was going on with these two? Then out of nowhere Harry’s expression was changed to utter disgust.

            “You have fun mate, with my girl!” Harry sneered at Niall, what? Last time I checked I wasn’t dating anybody, Liam still looked broken and falling apart. What had I done? Liam then looked at me with dead eyes and stormed out with Harry. Had I broken up One Direction just because I was so full of my own pride? I looked to Niall who was trying to keep from letting his emotion spill over, I don’t think even he would want to talk to me now. Louis and Zayn were just standing there, still not believing what was happening.

            “Um . . . I’m going to leave,” Zayn muttered as he and Lou ran off leaving me and Niall alone in the woods.

            “Niall, I’m so sorry!” I whispered knowing tears were flooding my eyes and my vision would soon be blurred, I couldn’t help but know I ruined Niall’s career.

            “No, no, it’s not your fault; Harry told me earlier that he like you and I went behind his back and kissed you. I’m sorry, your caught in between all of this.” Niall said respecting my personal bubble, I knew he was a little nervous that I didn’t like him for all of this. I still liked him, but I’m not sure I liked him any more than a brother or a best friend. Truth be told, Niall was an amazing person but I don’t know if I loved him romantically yet. “C’mon, Maddie why don’t we get you some food?”
