Fireflies

Chapter Five-Niall

I sat in the library with my lunch I wasn't gonna see Harry. Seeing him just made everything screwed up. He made me feel a way that no one made me feel. Not even Barbara. Several periods passed and I couldn't find Harry. On my way to study hall Felicia popped up and Barbara came up to me.

"Harry yelled at me and threatened me and-" she started crying. My head buzzed. "What?" I asked. "Harry followed me outside and called me horrible things and said he made you his bitch and I didn't believe him then he threatened my life!" My mouth hung open and my eyes were popping out of my head. "Harry said those things?" She nodded and cried.

Well I left school and went to his house. I can't believe him. He never came across as a woman abuser but neither did dad...

I banged on his door. I heard footsteps and then the door opened. Instead of Harry, Zayn stood in his place. My mouth fell and my heart started beating fast. He was in briefs and sweaty. "Hey Blondie!" He said smiling. Another pair of feet came up behind him. "H-Harry?" I asked slowly. He leaned up against Zayn. He wore north just by but boxers and a sweatshirt.

"What happened w-with Barbara?" I said trying to focus. "Oh, she insulted me I insulted her. Why?" He asked slightly annoyed. "That's not what she said." He made a stuffed laugh. "Of course. Look Mr. Perfect, you have a girlfriend that is sleeping with more guys then I have and is using you. Wow, you really think she was gonna stay with a guy she barely knows anything about?" Harry said slowly walking towards me.

His eyes were dark and hurt by but he just kept going. "She is a liar Niall. She wants to use you to get somewhere in life, you stupid idiot!" My heart fell to pieces. My fist became tight and I flung it at his jaw. He fell to the floor.

"Stop acting like you know everything Harry! We are both idiots!" He stood up. "AT LEAST I CAN TELL WHEN I LIKE SOMEONE YOU BLIND FUCKING IDIOT!!" I tripped backwards on the roof of my car. What? He stood up and just walked back to Zayn where Zayn held him and kissed the top of his head. My breathe got fast and I just got in my car.

I drove. I didn't know where but I just did. My car was just going. It stopped at a field. It was sunset and I just stared. "AT LEAST I CAN TELL WHEN I LIKE SOMEONE YOU BLIND IDIOT!!" He did like me...

My mind went through a slide show of everything. Dad beating us and then one day he left. Becoming focused on grades. Getting beat up. Then meeting Barbara. I became popular. Got my own place. Everything was so perfect.

I hated it.

Life was boring. Then I meet Harry. Drama filled Harry. I can't give up on that friendship. I can give up on one thing though. I looked out to the field. The fireflies were starting to come out. " A bunch of people getting freedom." Harry's voice rang through my head.

I went in the car and got my phone. "Barbara?" I asked as she picked up. "Hey sweetie. Where are you?" I looked around. "Ya know Chad, Robert, and Michael?" I asked thinking about the guys she hung out with. "Um, y-yeah why?" She said nervously. "Tell me right now that you have never slept with them." I said sitting on the roof of my car. "Niall, what the hell?" She asked. I heard a door open in the background and her muffled 'shushing'. "Barbara, who are you with right now?" I asked. "Niall, I'm with no one." She said. "Put me on speaker Barbara." "Niall-" "Barbara." She sighed and I heard a click. I was silent and I could hear two people breathing. "You are with a guy aren't you?" I asked feeling a tear in my eye. "Niall, listen." "No. you listen. Stay away from me and my life and I will stay quiet about your little secret but if you ever try and talk to me again, I swear to god I will make your life hell. I think that might be a little to home-y for you though." She was crying. "Niall please, I love you." she said pleading. "I don't care." I said before hanging up.

I rested my back on the glass window shield and looked out onto the field. Fireflies flew around me. Harry. He hates me. He is with Zayn, of all people. I am now nothing. He must hate me. Zayn has him around his finger and I can't save him.

I'm just Niall...

AN: Okay so it is 12:26am and I am writing this so I am tired as fucking and I think I might be rushing this story so I am going to be writing about Niall and his state that he is in before touching into the rest of the story. I might write about Harry and what is going on with Zayn as Niall is in his own self-pity-party.
