Chapter 17

Niall's POV

Its been a day since I have talked to Amanda and Maranda's plane lands tonight. I can't believe I yelled at Amanda like that. It was just as much my fault as it was hers. We can't blame each other because we were both drunk as well. We basically had no control over what we had done. Zayn had told me that Julia and Amanda had gotten into a fight yesterday so he went to go see Amanda but no one answered.

Last night when we were all hanging out, Courtney and Julia were talking about Amanda. Louis even made a joke about Courtney replacing Amanda in the group because of her newly found relationship with Harry. Everyone, minus Dani, Zayn, and myself thought it was funny. I can't believe they all would just laugh at Amanda the one time she makes a mistake. I was there too! Was it a mistake? It should be, because I am with Maranda but it doesn't feel like one. What feel like a mistake is everyone getting upset with her and not me. I shake my hand, thinking about how mean they were to the situation.

I think I need to talk to Amanda before Maranda comes to see me. I walk over to her apartment and knock. Nobody answers. "Amanda, I know you are in there. C'mon, open the door." I say to her. No answer again. I keep knocking until I remember where the spare key is. I get it from the door frame and open the door.

"Amanda?" I call. Looking around the apartment, I can tell she didn't sleep here last night because her bed was made. I keep looking around and notice her car keys aren't on the hook either. "Damn it!" I slam my fist on the table making a loud bang. I walk out of her apartment, slamming the door. I walk into my apartment to look for my phone.

"Dude." Harry says walking in.

"What?"

"Did you hear Amanda's door shut? Guess she finally decided to show her face around us again." He laughs.

"That was me, I went to see her but she wasn't there." I tell him.

"Maybe she just went out." He shrugs.

"No she didn't Harry! She left. But what do you care? You were laughing along with Courtney's cruel jokes about her last night. She is still our friend, man. Or at least she is mine." I tell him, finally finding my phone.

"Listen mate, I didn't mean to-"

"No, you don't get to explain yourself because you didn't let her explain. Now get out." He leaves the apartment, slamming the door just like I did at Amanda's. I click on her contact and the phone starts ringing. It goes straight to voice mail, meaning her phone was off. I throw it on my couch, getting frustrated at her, at everyone.

Few minutes later my phone rings. thinking it was Amanda I pick it up not looking.

"Thank god you, I was worried about you." I say.

"Um, Niall you know I was on a plane to come see you! My taxt is heading over there right now, so be ready for me." Maranda says.

"Oh yeah, sorry babe. And okay, see you soon." I hang up the phone, thinking about where I am going to take Maranda. Not to a club for sure.

Amanda's POV

Apprentlly I fell alseep because I woke up at 4:30pm with a missed call. I unlock my phone and see it was from Niall. I sigh, calling him back. He atleast deserve to know I am okay. I call but he goes to voicemaill so I decied to leave a voice mail.

"Hey Niall, I saw you called. I was asleep when you called. I'm not going to tell you where I am, but I am okay and that is all that matters. Um, I just needed to get away from everyone, mostly you. Um, you don't have to call me back, just don't worry about me and I don't know when you will see me again." I hang up the phone, almost in tears. I get out of bed and head down stairs where I hear them arguing.

"Dude, we should at least tell him she is here!" Luke says.

"No, she was running away from him and evreyone else!" Michael says.

"It doesn't matter, Niall is our mate!" Ashton says.

"So am I, and as is she! You can't tell him, she doesn't want them knowing yet." Michael yells back.

"We have been arguing about this for hours man! We need to call him back." Luke replies

"Yeah, Niall deserves to know, man." Calum says.

'You guys really don't understand do you?" Michael says.

'We would if we knew why she was here." Luke crosses his arms over his chest.

"I slept with Niall." I come out in the open, they all turn and look at me.

"You what?" Ashton says.

"Well, they threw me a party because I was sad. Niall and I got really drunk and yeah.." I tell them, walking closer.

"Why would you do that? You know he is with Maranda." Luke says.

"Did you not just here her? Niall and her were both drunk, Luke." Michael defends me.

"That doesn't make it right." Ashton replies.

"This is why I left the UK, by the way. because they all thought I did it on purpose or something. Like I planed for it to happen. Well, I didn't but you can think whatever you want. I'm not going to stay here. I will fly to Massachusetts and visit some family or something." I tell them. I march up stairs, Michael following.

"You don't have to leave."

"Yes, I do. I left my home because I didn't want to deal with this shit. I am not going to stay here and burden you guys if they think the same thing. I will call my Aunt and go see her for a little." I tell him, packing all the stuff I had unpacked in the past few hours. I grab my phone off the charger, then packed that too.

"You don't have to go Amanda, really please stay." He asks one more time. I continue packing. "At least let me drive you to the air port?"

I sigh, giving in to his request of him driving me.
