Things Happen For a Reason (One Direction, Niall Horan)

Chapter 20: Nothing Without Trust

KENDALL'S POV

Most girls would probably never shut up about their boyfriend if they were dating Harry Styles. A month ago, that's probably how I thought I would act if I was dating him. But really, that isn't the case. Harry is just a regular guy that has an extraordinary talent. Other than that, he's just like any other teenage boy I have ever met. There are some girls on tumblr that would always be like "If I was dating Harry, it would be okay if he cheated on me cause he's Harry Styles." A month ago, I would have probably reblogged a text post like that because honestly, what were the chances of me meeting Harry Styles let alone the fact he fell for me and asked me out. What I realized was.. it's not okay. No matter what, cheating isn't okay. It hurts. Especially, when it's done right in front of you. That's just ridiculous. 

I was so happy to be home. I looked around my room when I wheeled in my suitcase and examined my walls. Everywhere there were posters of One Direction hanging up. It was kind of creepy having a shrine of them in my room considering I actually knew them and was friends with them now. I went to London as a huge fangirl and came back being friends with the people I was obsessed with. I didn't want to be disrespectful and rip down my posters and "Pull a Sydney Dalton" but I really didn't want all of these pictures of some of my new best friends along with my new boyfriend everywhere I looked on my walls. Plus, I really was having a hard time looking at Harry right now, (well posters of him), because every time I did, flashbacks of last night came rushing back to me. 

One by one, I began to gently remove each poster carefully so that they were still in good condition. I folded them neatly and placed them in a "keepsake box" which now was going to be a "One Direction Box" because they posters took up most all of the room. I put my ticket from the concert in there along with a few developed photos taken of me, Haley, Sarah and the boys. 

Once I was done, I took a step back and looked at each of my walls. I took a deep breath and smiled. I hadn't seen my walls bare since...Well... about a year ago when I first found out about One DIrection, just three months after they were formed. I plopped down on my purple fuzzie comforter that was spread on my bed with my laptop in hand. Well now that I'm back to America, might as well get back to my normal life-the internet. I typed in the familiar website that I loved so much www.tumblr.com because it was time to make a new account! I am constantly logged into skype, so while I was making my new tumblr account, I got a skype call from Harry. My stomach started making me feel sick as I saw the picture of me and him in his hotel room taken a few weeks ago. He apparently had set it as his profile picture for skype and icon for twitter. It was a cute picture of the both of us, I will admit. But then again... that was when everything was picture perfect. Before this big blow to the relationship of Harry and I came. Reluctantly, I answered the call to see the smiling face of the curly-haired Cheshire boy. I forced a smile. 

"Hey, babe." he smiled. "I miss you." 

There was a pause of silence. Not a comfortable silence like we were used to having, definitely more of an awkward silence.

"I miss you too." I forced out. It didn't seem that convincing, Harry sure didn't buy it.

"It doesn't seem like it..." he furrowed his eyebrows, confused as to the way I was acting towards him.
