Walking Down The Road Of Love

CHAPTER 8

Niall stopped short before a car. In the car was Zayn. With a blonde haired girl. Kissing. A tear slipped down my cheek. Abby was right. Maybe if I would have confessed to Zayn that I liked him I wouldn’t regret it. But I didn’t listen to her. And I regretted that. I could feel my knees buckling. I just wanted to crumble on the floor and cry.

I came back to senses when I heard the door to the car shut. Both Zayn and that girl had stepped out. I quickly wiped my tears and moved forward to join Niall.

“Hey man”, Niall called out Zayn. He turned to the blonde haired girl, “Perrie, right?”, he asked. “Yes”, she said. “Great, join inside, come on”, Niall said as he messed my hair again. But it didn’t annoy me. I watched Zayn and Perrie follow Niall. But I just stood there. I decided to go home rather than look at them kiss again.

“Hey where you going?”, I turned around and saw Zayn behind me. Perrie was shortly behind him. “Uh, I thought of going home…”, I started off. “Aww, why? We haven’t even met”, Perrie talked in her perfect accent. “April right?, she asked me. I nodded. “Zayn’s talked a lot about you. He says you’re one of his best friends!”, she smiled. What? Zayn talked about me with who I suppose is now his girlfriend? Isn’t that a bit weird?

“Guys come on already”, Niall shouted, running towards us, “If they finish all the dinner, I’m going to kill you guys.” He ran ahead again, leaving Zayn and Perrie laughing behind as they walked hand in hand, and I followed closely behind.

As we got in, the aroma of pasta filled my nostrils. It was only then when I realized I was so hungry, but was too caught up with my crushed feelings. “Hey Perrie, how are you doing?”, Danielle asked as she and Eleanor walked up to Perrie, and hugged each other. Louis and Liam also came and met Perrie. Wow, they all knew her well enough. Why did I not know her? Her face looked familiar though.

“Where’s Harry?”, Zayn asked, looking around. “He’s meeting up with some old pals. He should be back soon”, Louis said, glancing at the clock. “Alright boys, lets eat?”, Eleanor said walking up to Louis. “Yeah buddy! I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse”, Niall said as he raced to the table. Everyone laughed as the dining table seats got filled.

~As everyone finished dinner and went to the living room, I voluntarily stayed back to wash the dishes. Everyone had left the dining table. Everyone but Niall, of course. He was still munching, and pondering. “Watcha thinking about?”, I asked while washing the dishes. “Abby”, Niall said. “WHAT?”, I suddenly turned my face towards him, dropping the plate into the sink. “What? Oh, I’m asking did you talk to Abby again?”, Niall looked at his food, his face all red. “What’s up between you two? Like seriously, it’s weird now! You both are my best friends, you should tell me”, I said pouting. “There’s nothing April. She’s just a great friend”, Niall said, blushing again. “You blush so much. Someone just takes Abby’s name and you go all red”, I said picking up the dish. Did he have a crush on Abby? Because that is how I blushed when I see Zayn or hear his name… “Alright, I’m in my room if anyone needs me”, Niall said as he put his dish in the sink, messed my hair again and left the kitchen. I didn’t feel like running after him; I just stood there scrubbing the dish and thinking what could’ve happened if I would’ve told Zayn. If he didn’t feel the same, he would still go for Perrie. And the fact that he is with her indicates that he doesn’t like me that way. Or maybe he would’ve waited. I sighed as I set the dishes in the rack and went out of the kitchen.

I entered the living room. Liam and Danielle were on one couch talking to each other; Danielle almost in Liam’s lap. Louis and Eleanor were sprawled on the floor, cuddling and watching the TV. And then there were Zayn and Perrie, lip-locked. I had the sudden urge to cry but I quietly made my way to the guest room.

~I was sitting in my room checking Twitter when I heard the door open. A curly head popped in. “Hey”, I tried to smile. Twitter was a depressing place now a days. I saw a lot of tweets telling me I was too ugly to hang out with the boys and I wanted fame that’s why I’m with them. It was a typical thing; it happened with everybody, but it depressed me even more.  I had been sitting in the dark and even the tiniest amount of light felt like shining rays of the sun. “I just saw Zayn with Perrie. April, he’s going out with someone. I know you like him okay. Don’t hide it. At least not from me”, he shouted as soon as he came in. He was right. I did like him. But I didn’t want to. I wish we could have control over this. I put my head in my hands and started sobbing.

“I’m sorry for going off at you like that”, Harry said as he sat beside me. “But you made a mistake by not telling him. You know it would’ve made a difference if you were to tell him!”

“No Harry, it wouldn’t have”, I said between sobs, “The fact that he is going out with her proves that he doesn’t like me or he would’ve waited, or said something himself!”

“I’m sorry April”, Harry hugged me as I continued sobbing, “anything I can do for you?” “Nope”, I said as I stood up and grabbed my cell phone, “I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” I flashed a weak smile at him and left the room.

HARRY’S POV

Dammit. I knew it. She likes him. She likes him too much. I need to do something for her. I can’t see her all sad. What would I do if Gemma were in the same situation? Would have I talked to the guy? Maybe Gemma wouldn’t have liked that. I think I would’ve asked her what I could do. Just as I did with April. The difference was that Gemma would tell me. But April…She isn’t telling me anything. She’s too reserved. She’s a lot like Zayn in many ways. Maybe I should talk to Abby. I mean the girls are so freaking close I bet April would’ve told her. Yes! I need to talk to Abby soon. Maybe she can tell me what I can do to help April, because I certainly can’t see her like this.
