Forgetting That You Weren't My Mission

Chapter 14

**Niall's POV**

I walked into the coffee shop and got my order and sat down. I started to get lost in my own thoughts when I felt a hand gently touch my shoulder.

"Erm, Niall?" A voice questioned from behind me.

I swiftly turned around to be met with the Zayn guy from the hospital. I was over the moon, finally I had the chance to speak to him and have all my questions answered.

"Zayn? Man, come join me. I need to talk to you," I told him.

He sat down in the seat across from me and I took a quick glance at his features. He was a very good looking guy and if he was my ex, then I must have done extremely well to get him.

"What did you want to know?" He asked me, bringing me back to earth.

"Erm..well..I just wanted to know about us. Like, were we boyfriends or anything like that?" I shyly asked him. I tangled my fingers together underneath the table.

I looked up at him and saw he had a hint of amusement but also sadness in his eyes. I gave him a puzzled look as to why he was amused.

"Um... I don't really know how to say this but... we kinda had a little fling before the crash." he told me. So that's why Harry hates him, he must have found out.

"How long did it go on?" I asked.

"Only like a week. Harry eventually found out and he stopped you from seeing me." My eyes widened as he mentioned the part about Harry. He seems so... nice.

"I'm confused. Why were you in the crash?"

"I'll start from the beginning. We met in here, the coffee shop. You gave me your number and later on in the week you brought me to your house. We hung out for a bit and then Harry found out. He flipped and stopped me from seeing you. Eventually, I built up the courage to come and see you and I dragged you out of the house and into my car. We must have got a bit carried away with our excitement because all I remember after that is seeing you helpless in the passenger seat." he said as his eyes filled up.

"So... we never dated, we were... just friends?" I asked.

"Mhmm." he replied.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Harry was the reason why I was in the crash... I think?

"So, this was all down to him? The crash, the memory loss, us?" I asked again.

Zayn's eyes lit up as I asked him and a small smile grew on his face. Something about that he liked.

**Zayn's POV**

I couldn't believe he used the word 'us'. Even though we were just friends I still have strong feelings for him and I need to remind him just how he feels about me.

"Zayn? Did you hear me?" Niall asked from across the table.

"Sorry what?" I snapped out of my daze of us at our wedding.

"I asked if this was all Harry's fault? Everything that happened."

"Well... if I hadn't have been so selfish and took you to my car, this wouldn't have happened." I could feel the tears building up but I managed to stop them showing.

"Oh Zayn man, you're not the selfish one here, it's Harry that needs to learn a lesson. If he thinks he can stop me from having friends then he's wrong. I can do whatever I like, I can talk to whoever I like and God damn it if he thinks he can just... control me and my life, well then he has another thing coming." he protested.

"Niall, I don't want to come between you. I know that if we see each other it's gonna cause trouble and I just want you to be happy." I lied. Of course I wanted to see him again but who knows what Harry is capable of.

"I will be happy having a friend like you as well as Harry. Look, I make my own decisions and I want to see you again. I haven't stopped thinking about you since the hospital and I don't know whether that's because I have feelings for you or just because I miss you. But all I know is that you were the one person I never forgot... sort of. I think I remember having feelings for you but it might be easier starting out as friends. What do you say?" I must be high or dreaming right now because Niall, my one and only love, has just told me he has feelings for me.

"Just as friends?" I asked, wanting more.

"Just as friends." he replied gesturing me to shake his hand.

I shook his hand and smiled at him, receiving an even bigger smile from him. And in that moment, I was whole again... until I remembered that Harry could kill me if he found out. But screw him, cause I love Niall Horan.
