Nothing's Fine I'm Torn (One Direction Fanfiction) <3

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

Tori quickly turned around to see Harry standing at the counter, teary eyed.  

"Mate..." Niall began before Harry took off his apron and stormed out of the bakery. 

Tori grabbed a chair and sat down, taking in everything that occurred. She shook her head, no no no, she thought, why me? 

Niall pulled a chair up to her and rubbed her back, "Tori, don't worry love. We can just talk with him. He likes you right?"  

Tori sighed, "Yeah... yeah he does. And so do you." she said before getting out of the chair and leaving through the same door as Harry. 

Niall stood up, "Tori, wait!" he yelled, but she had already left. 

Once she reached the streets, Tori walked around. Not having any plan of where she would end up. She crossed a few familiar places but decided not to go any farther. She found a bench near a park and took a break there to cry and absorb everything that had just happened. 

Niall Horan. 

Harry Styles. 

Which one do I like more? I have to pick, all of this relationship drama and going back and forth is too much. I'm hurting both of them, Tori thought. 

She shook her head, shameful of herself. 

"Tori? Is that you?" 

It was Liam, walking by himself towards her. 

She got off the bench and ran to him for a hug, "Ah, just what I need." Tori said into his shoulder. 

He patted her back, "Boy troubles again?"  

She mumbled a yes.  

Tori softly cried onto Liam's shoulder for a few minutes before he took her back to the bench to talk. 

"So, what's going on?" he asked. 

Tori's lips turned into a frown, "You know about the motel night with Niall and the star gazing with Harry right? And everything that happened then?" Liam nodded, "Well after that point I thought it was all a one night thing and that we'd go back to normal but they really like me and I can't choose both. I just don't know what to do! I like them equally and today Niall and I went on a date then stopped at the bakery Harry works at and he caught us kissing. Neither of them knew I was seeing the other." she explained. 

Liam's eyebrows were crunched together in confusion, "They didn't know that?" he asked. 

Tori shook her head. Liam scooted in closer and wrapped his arms around her, "It'll be okay, love. Do you want to date one of them before we go to Malibu or after?" 

"I just... ugh. Well, I don't want drama by rooming with them both but then having one of them crushed by me would be terrible. So I don't know." she replied. 

"You'll be leading them both on until the trip then?!" Liam asked. 

Tori groaned at the fact that this whole thing wasn't working out, "Well then I guess I'm going to date one of them before. It'd actually be more fun to have a boyfriend during it, too. I just have to wait for one of them to ask me out."  

Liam wiped her tear and smiled, "Now that's a good plan! Who would you prefer?" 

Tori thought for a minute then said, "Well, first offer wins."

*Harry's POV* 

I knew it. Tori was seeing Niall. She didn't care about me. They were practically dating.
