NiallsPOV:

" Laura, you should go." I said as I stared blankly back at her face. Her expression faded from happy,to sad,then to mad.

" What do you mean?" She asked and she stood up from her spot on the bed. I could hear the confusion and anger in her voice. Although she wasn't screaming yet, I knew it would happen soon.

" Im so sorry , if i was sober i would have never let this happen. I didnt want to hurt-" I began to try and explain myself until Laura cut me off.

" How dare you? After all you have put me through you have the nerver to do this to me,again?!" she screamed as she walked towards me,her hands pulled into tiny fists and her small figure striding with anger.

" I know Laura" I began to say but stopped as a felt the palm of her hand connect with the skin of my cheek. I stopped, taken slightly aback. I just stood there for a second letting the stinging feeling sink into my skin. Laura took a step back,covering her mouth with her hand  and as tears appeared in her eyes.

" I cant believe you! " She began and I shook my head. I deserved everything i was about hear.. I not only hurt Laura again,but I also went behind Lex's back and may have broken her heart. " As if hurting me once wasnt enough to satisfy you, you need more! How can you live with yourself Niall?" she yelled as tears spilled down her face. I could see a mixture of hate and heartbreak in her eyes.

" I- Im ... Im sorry.." I pleaded as I ran my fingers through my hair. I had expected Laura to yell more,and tell me how much she hated me. How much she wished i was dead. I expected her to tell me how much of a coward i was. Instead she collected her things and quietly walked towards the hotel room door. 

She stood there, tears still streaming from her eyes as she slipped her small black shoes onto her feet.

" Im so sorry" I repeated again,in a desperate attempt to try and save whatever friendship we had left.

"  Dont try that crap with me Niall!" She spat out the words and they struck me like daggers. " This may not be a big deal to you,but it is to me.. and im not going to let you get away with this again!" She said as she turned the handle on the door,quickly slipping out of the room.

I was left alone in my dim hotel room. Well i guess i wasnt completely alone, i had my thoughts there with me. What did she mean this may not be a big deal to me? Ofcourse this was a big deal to me! I cheated on Lex,possibly ruining my chances of ever being with her,and i hurt Luara.

Way to go Niall!

And what does she mean i wont get away with this? Havent i already suffered enough? Watching her cry over something i did to her hurts me much more then she thinks, and now i cant even prove that to her. Shes probably gone off somewhere planning her revenge.

All i know is that i dont care what Laura puts me through,as long as Lex is left out and dosnt get hurt.

*~*~*~*~*

Lex's POV:

I woke up in a tangled mess of sheets which was the result of my very restless,and sleepless night. After finally pushing the image of Niall and that girl out of my mind,i fell alseep,only to be woken up by a horrid nightmare.

I pulled myself out of the bed,and stumbled into my small bathroom. While squirting some toothpaste onto my tooth brush,i heard my phone beep in the other room. I stuck the tooth brush into my mouth and wandered around my bed room searching for my phone.

I finally found my phone when i saw the vibrant pink case peering out from underneath my bed.  I snatched the phone up off the floor and unlocked it to discover that i had a text from Niall. Finally.

Hello Love, sorry i couldnt call last night,i was knacked form working all day in the studio and headed straight to bed! Xx

I felt a small frin creep onto my face as i read his text. I could feel  my tense body begin to relax again. Just knowing that Niall was  home last night and sleeping instead of out with some random girl and ignoring me gave me a sense of relief.

Maybe i was right. Maybe Niall wasnt with anyone, and the pictures were from before he met me. I was over reacting. I knew i could trust him.

I threw my phone down and walked into the kitchen humming along to a happy tune. Everything was back to normal,and i had nothing to worry about . Niall was safe and happy,i was safe and happy,and everything was perfect.
