Ryan's P.O.V
I waved goodbye to Zayn and continued to walk back to my office, for my phone. Every office was pitch black, except for the one across from mine. Riley had gone home early to Louis for his "apology". I quickly grabbed my phone and walked over to the room. I jumped when Niall got up from his seat.

"You scared the shit out of me," I caught my breath, "why are you here so late." I then realized the dark circles around his eyes and zombie like features, it's like he hasn't slept for a week. Either that or he was a zombie.

"I-I uhm... I was trying to fix R-Riley's template for the next article, because she hasn't been feeling all to well." I gave him a confused look, because Riley had already finished her late and future projects. Niall was hiding something and it was on that computer, I slipped pasted Niall and looked at the computer.

It was old pictures of Riley and Niall together, they looked around 10 or 11. It was a collage form, they looked really happy together. In the middle there was a large picture of Riley,Liam,Niall,Harry,Zayn,and Louis.there was also a short redhead girl, she had a flannel on along with sweats.

"Niall, what's all of this?." He looked down and started to quickly explain things. Words flew out of his mouth like vomit, I noticed the similarities between Riley and Niall. Riley did this when she was excited, and Niall when he was nervous.

"When we were younger Riley and I loved each other I know it might sound crazy, because we were only thirteen and didn't know what love even meant, but something happened on Harry's 18th birthday. We were all drunk and Haz suggested to play spin the bottle, of course we played and played until it got to Riley. She spun it, and it landed on Louis. Then they just made out right there, no regrets the next day. Everyone forgot but me and they fell in love and you know the rest." I was completely in shock, because Riley didn't show any kind of intimacy towards Niall.

"Who's the short girl in the picture then." He looked at the screen and scrunched up his nose.

"That's Eleanor...yeah that's Eleanor Calder, Lou's old girlfriend nasty breakup." I looked at him like he had three heads, I had to know more.

"What happened?" Niall continued with his story.

"Eleanor was Riley's best friend and she had a massive crush on Louis so she would always be nice to his old girlfriends and in the end tear their relationship apart. Louis caught that when his old girlfriend Hannah, came to hang out with us and told him everything. Eleanor found out about Louis and Riley, and she didn't talk to any of us anymore why?" I pulled Niall along with me turning off the light and running to my car.

"Where are we going?" Niall screamed at me, I turned quickly down the street.

"I left Eleanor my extra set of keys to lock the basement door just in case, my sister didn't come back home while she was staying there, and I have her the set with Riley's house key on it." I pulled next to my house checking the driveway and her car wasn't there.

"Shit, she might be at Riley's house." I sped off with Niall over to Riley's house hoping for the worst.
