Plot 22

Chapter 15

Niall POV

I was cordial to Harry. I spoke to him when I needed to, and I never said anything bad. The boys never brought up Megan, and I didn't either. Things were getting better. I still hadn't spoken to Parker yet, so I decided to text her.

"Hey".

"Hey?"

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, Niall. What do you want?"

"Why are things weird between us ever since we got back here?"

"We both know the answer to that question".

"If I'm fine with it, I think you should be too".

"We'll see. For right now, let's just keep our distance".

"Have you talked to him about it?"

"No, I won't talk to anyone about what happened. I'm embarassed and ashamed".

"Oh, come on. It wasn't that bad".

"Goodbye, Niall".

Well, things were going to stay weird between us. At least I can say that I tried. Liam and I went out and some fun. My life wasn't all that exciting now that Megan wasn't in it. There wasn't a lot for us to do.

But, I was going to try to find something.

Megan POV

The plane finally landed, and I immediately called Harry.

"Where are you?", I asked when he answered the phone.

"Home, why?"

"I'm coming over".

"How? Aren't you suppose to be in the US?"

"I came back. It's a long story. I'll explain when I get there".

I took a cab over to his house and stormed in.

"Niall slept with someone else".

"Well", he said, "I'll have to admit that it is a little sudden, but you two aren't together anymore. So, why do you care?"

"He slept with her while we were together".

"Oh. Now, I see the problem".

I nodded and slammed the magazine down in front of him. It shook the coffee table.

"You're taking this from a magazine? You know everything that they print about us isn't true".

"Yes, I thought about that. But, then I remember. The night that we supposedly slept together was the night that Niall and I were suppose to Skype, but we never did. That's the same night that he slept with someone else. That's  why he was so understanding when I never came on. Look at the picture".

It was a picture of Niall and some girl, whose name they wouldn't reveal, walking out of his hotel room. Apparently, they were both on the way to an interview that she was conducting. They were running late. They both look exhausted.

"I agree", Harry said, "this doesn't seem a little suspicious, but don't you think that you should ask Niall about this before you jump to conclusions?"

"Why don't you ask him?"

"Niall and I aren't on the best terms right now, but at least he's talking to me. I don't want to jeopradize that".

"I understand. Then, I'll confront him about it".

"Who's the girl?"

"I don't know. They blurred out her face. I just can't believe that he broke up with me after something he thought that I did, when in actuality, he did the exact same thing. He's such a hypocrite".
