The Boy Next Door

Discovered

OMIGOD. I just wrote like 20 pages and it ALL GOT DELETED. Flack this! Sorry for the wait but I was on vacay. Im back now, so LETS DO THIS!

I stormed into my room, not furious but still quite angry.

"Zayn. I hate you."

He blew a kiss at me. "Love you too!"

"We all lurv each other!" Louis said, giving us all bear hugs. Well everyone but me. My body language probably said something along the lines of stay-the-hell-away-from-me or touch-me-you-die. 

"Louis, your gay is showing." Jess teased, sticking her tongue out. How could I possibly be mad at them? It was like before I had forgiven Harry. All I remember thinking was,"I hate him. I hate him. I don't hate him! Yes, yes I do. Well, no. But I dislike him. ALOT. I don't dislike him, I like him. No. I dislike him. Who am I kidding? I love him. But I wish I hated him."

Jess' POV:

So, I guess I was friends with all the guys but one. Niall. Was he scared of me that night so many weeks ago? I mean, they all were, but was he still? 

"Niall, can I talk to you?" I whispered. He nodded sullenly, his smile dropping. Where was that smile that I had grown used to seeing?

~~

"Niall, why do you hate me?"

He sighed. "I-I don't." He stuttered. Fibber.

"Niall. I don't walk around beating people up. I'm not in a gang. Just protective of my best friend. She wasn't always this happy. Let's put it at that. When I found out Micheal cheated on her, I-I guess that was the last straw, and I lost it. Seeing her cry isn't particularly enjoyable for me."

He smiled wryly. "Friends?" He asked, sticking his hand out. 

I pushed past the sting in my throat with a smile. "Friends." Why did that word hurt so much? I didn't like Niall, did I? Pshh, no. 

Bellas POV:

My phone dinged, signaling I had an email from Avery from in the States.

I clicked it and saw everything. Pictures of me hugging Harry, on my date with Zayn, and having lunch with them. I had gone from miffed to furious. I let out a small scream and threw my phone as hard as I could at Jess. She caught it, she was really good at softball when she was younger. Her mouth opened in shock.

"Well shit."
