Diana (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Two

Niall's POV

I woke up quite early the next day and just sat up in bed. I wonder if Liam came back last night and if he found Diana or not. Without a second thought I made my way downstairs to get myself some breakfast when I saw something that made a lump form in my throat...

Liam and Diana- my Diana- were all cozied up together on the sofa bed. What's worse was the fact they were wide awake and talking to each other about something. "So what are you talking about?" I asked, making my appearance apparent. "Why would you care?" Diana snapped. "Because I believe you're still my girlfriend and you're in a bed with another boy." I retorted. "Well, I recall us breaking up when you told me to 'fuck off'." She said. "And who are you calling a boy? I'm more of a man than you'll ever be. That's why I went after the girl you love." Liam said, stepping into the conversation. "Who said I love her?" I asked. "Is there another girl?" Diana questioned. "So what if there is?" I said. "Is that why you don't want me? Is that why you left me to die from a panic attack? Is that why you were sat at home for five hours without thinking twice about coming to find me?!" Diana said, raising her voice. "Why do you make a big deal out of nothing?" I sighed. "Nothing?! You make a big deal out of nothing Niall! I was so much happier before you made your way into my pathetic little life. So why don't you just leave and we forget we ever met each other." She said, starting to cry. "Really?" I asked, now feeling sad and guilty. "It's for the best. Bye Niall." She sighed, her voice cracking. She then stood from the sofa and grabbed all her bags before walking out of the front door. "Why? Why do you have to keep breaking her?" Liam asked sadly.

Diana's POV

I walked outside and sat down on the door step. I too my phone out of my pocket and decided to text Liam.

Diana: Hey Li, um can we go back to your place? xox

Liam: Sure, I'll just get dressed. Do you want any food? xox

Diana: Nah, I'm alright thanks xox

He didn't reply after that but I knew he would be out soon. About ten minutes after I sent the last text Liam appeared in the doorway of the Horan house. "Hey." He said sadly. "Hi." I said, the same tone ringing clear in my voice. "Sorry about him. He kept me back." Liam sighed. "It's okay." I replied, smiling sadly. "It's sad because I generally thought he would be the one." I sighed. "He appears to be the innocent one but there's so much more to him than meets the eye. This is why he spends the majority of his life single." He explained.

"So you thought I would be the one?" A familiar Irish accent asked. "Yes Niall, I thought." I said. "We can still make it work you know." He said. "No, no we can't. You only care about yourself. Does it not occur to you that I'm in a bad state and I need caring for. If you loved me you would've at least thought about looking for me when I went missing for five hours." I said. "I know you so I thought you would return." He said sadly. "You don't know me. The stuff you know about me is the stuff I decided to tell you. Niall, I've had too much of a brutal past to deal with a heartbreaking present. If you wanna break me do it now because I know and you know that if I keep on going the way I am, I'm not gonna be here much longer." I said, a single tear slipping down my cheek. "Don't talk like that." He said sadly. "How else can I speak to truth? This isn't fun and games anymore. This is becoming a battle and it's a battle I'm gonna lose. We both know it." I cried. "I don't want to lose you." He said, also starting to cry. "You've already lost me Ni." I cried. "I'm s-sorry for e-ever hurting you." He stuttered. "I'm sure you are." I whispered, turning around and walking away.

Not long after leaving Niall alone I heard footsteps behind me. "Liam, I really think we over thought that idea. I mean really, do you even see us in a relationship. I think it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. Have you really lost all love for Danielle? Would we really work in a relationship? Most importantly, would you be willing to leave Danielle who is an amazing person for me, someone who is just broken? I mean, yeah it seemed the right thing to agree to at the time but can you really see it happening?" I asked, turning around to see none other than Niall.
