The Stars

Confusion

Niall's POV

"That sounds good." said Liam as he was staring off into space.  I walked downstairs but Jess was gone. I checked my phone and there was a voicemail from Jess.  I listened.

"Hey Niall, you and Liam are still probably talking right now. I decided to go home 'cause it's kind of late now and I'm really tired. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow bye." I hung up the phone and walked to the guest bedroom and fell asleep thinking of Jess.

Jess's POV

I woke up in the morning with a pounding headache.  I had no idea why, until I remembered last night. I threw my pillow across the room and just stayed in my bed.

Why were boys so difficult to understand?

I think they both have feelings for me...emphasis on think.  Then again neither of them have actually really told me.  Well, Niall kind of did.

I really don't know what to do. I don't even know who I truthfully like.  Niall is cute, funny, witty, and oh his smile makes me melt. But Liam, he's also cute and funny, and smart, thoughtful. AHHHH

Liam's POV

My world crashed and cracked right in front of me last night. I was surprised I didn't start crying. How could she have feelings for Niall? What does he have that I don't? It's her choice though, is what I told myself all last night before going to sleep.

I didn't get up, because I knew Niall would be in the kitchen getting breakfast. I don't hate him. I can't. He's one of my bestfriends, and I can't let Jess come in between that. I just, don't know how I feel about him right now. I thought he came here to help me get a girl I'd been crushing on ever since I left for the X Factor, but instead he's falling for her. And I fear she's falling for him too.

I guess he can't help it though if she has feelings for him and he has feelings for her. I just wish she felt like that around me. I see the way she acts around Niall and it's more flirty where as when she's with me it's more friendly.

Stop saying that.

For all you know she might like you!

Niall's POV

Liam didn't come downstairs until 12 when he came down for lunch, and I know why. He probably hates me. I have feelings for a girl he's probably liked since the X Factor. I just couldn't help it. There was something about her that was just...undescribable.

"Hey." I said trying to break the ice as he made a ham and cheese sandwich.

"Hey." he said sounding a lot less enthusiastic than I thought he would.

"How are you?" He looked at me with a look that pretty much read 'how do you think I feel?'

"Fine."

"Your mom and dad went out to the grocery store."

"Yeah, I heard." he said caustiously adding the perfect amount of mayonaise to the bread.

"I think I'm going to go out for a bit, mind if I borrow the car?"

"Yeah sure." he said not even looking up.

I walked outside to the car and turned up the music really high.  My head needed some clearing. I went from station to station driving around the town not sure where I was going. I sang along with most of the songs.

Suddenly, I stopped the car when I saw a sadly familiar sight.  It was Rockstar's, the first place I'd really gotten to know Jess. Every bit of happiness vanished in me for the moment. What if she didn't pick me? What if she really did have feelings for Liam? I wouldn't doubt it, she's known him for years and I've know her for about three or four days.

A thought occured to me. Was it wrong of me to have feelings for her? Did Liam really have feelings for her since the X Factor? I sighed. Maybe this was a mistake.
