Behind It All

Nasty Little Comments

"Niall! Hayley! You're finally here!" Liam cheered as we entered the restaurant and approached the table where some of the boys and their girlfriends are sitting.

The boys have just finished their first show in New York and decided to all go to dinner after it.

"Sorry lads, It's Hayley's fault we're late, she took forever to get ready" Niall chirped although sending me a glare over his shoulder.

"Yeah well maybe we would've gotten here quicker if you had stopped with your rude comments about how you didn't like the jeans I was wearing and focused on your driving instead." I quietly snapped back so nobody else heard.

"It's okay guys, we're still waiting on Zayn and Perrie aswell" Liam smiled as we sat down at the table.

The boys were all coming along with their girlfriends.

Harry brought Millie, Louis brought Eleanor, Liam brought Sophia, who i only just met yesterday although she is really nice, and Zayn is bringing Perrie.

I sat next to Niall and Eleanor as Millie and Harry were opposite Niall and I.

Zayn and Perrie soon arrived and everyone ordered.

The whole table was buzzing with different conversations. I was asking Eleanor about her new heels which I adored.

Niall was taking a drink while talking to Liam who was on the other side of him. As he picked up his glass he began to laugh at whatever Liam said and his drink spilled all over me. I gasped as the cold coke poured down my top to my jeans. The whole table looked at us as I looked to Niall who was trying to hide his smirk.

"Niall! You idiot!" I scolded him.

"I didn't mean it" he scoffed.

"But look at the mess! you've ruined this top!" I cried as it began to soak into my white top.

"Well it was an ugly top anyway so that doesn't matter" Niall remarks.

"Well I couldn't give a shit if you thought it was ugly cause now you've ruined it! You could at least apologise!"

"I don't apologise. Not to you at least. I'm not sorry. I actually find it hilarious that I was able to embarrass you in front of the whole table without even having to try! You deserved it!" he scoffed as his words stung.

I felt my cheeks flush from embarrassment. I can't believe he's humiliating me like this in front of everyone. I feel so stupid.

"God sake Niall! You don't have to be such a dick!" I cried before getting up and going to the bathroom to attempt to dry my shirt off with the hand dryers.

After two minutes or so of standing, trying to dry off the remaining wet spots of my top and jeans, the bathroom door opens and Millie walks towards me with a concerned look on her face.

"You okay?" she says placing a hand on my arm.

I nod my head but keep my eyes on the ground.

"I'm sorry he's being such a jerk to you. He's honestly nothing like that usually. I thought it was bad when he would ignore you all the time but now these nasty little comments of his are just getting ridiculous. Just ignore his comments and continue trying to be nice. Maybe he'll forget the tough mad guy act for a minute and actually be nice to you for once!" she said in a comforting tone as she tried to make me feel a bit better.

I still didn't feel like talking so I just nodded in response.

My top was now mostly dry and we decided to go back to the table since the food should be here soon.
