Light On {Niam Love Story}

Fourteen-

A/N: Finally, aye? I'll try to make this quick because I know I've been a real pain in the ass with all this non-updating. I swear, though, I have been writing. So, the song for this chapter is Over and Over by Three Days Grace because, meh. I didn't really scroll through the comments before writing this, so I guess I'm a little too lazy to dedicate this chapter to anyone. Oh whale. Enjoy! x

"Over and over, you make me fall for you. Over and over, you don't even try."

Liam was glowing.

He tried to keep his face blank, but why even try if he knew he would only fail. A sly grin pulled up at the corners of his mouth. Could this really, truly be possible? Did Niall really return the feeling? Has Liam finally found his happiness?

The Wolverhampton lad was practically radiant as he looked at Niall, "Do you mean that, Ni?"

Did he mean it? What kind of question was that? Of course he meant it! Niall had followed Liam around like a lost puppy since the day they met. He had basked at his best mate in adoration way too many times to count. Added to all that, he had just practically screamed that he loved Liam James Payne. How much more obvious could you get?

Harry, who apparently thought he knew everything, piped up, "Yeah, right. He's just trying to prevent a fight. Get real, Payne."

Liam crumbled.

The mixed look of shock and scorn for Harry on Niall's face was suddenly unimportant - Liam believed the words that spewed out of Harry's mouth. Poor Liam was in over his head, and both brunettes knew it.

Niall, on the other hand, was ready to burst. Who did Harry think he was?

Before he could protest, and tell Liam that he really did love him, said boy was running out of the room, and down the hall towards the exit.

Now, on the inside, Harry was smirking. He knew he probably shouldn't have said it, but in defense, Liam had said some pretty awful things to him, too. Harry loved Zayn, just as Liam loved Niall - and if Liam wanted to fight about who deserved who, so be it. But he would never, ever forget about just how much of a snot Liam had been before. He deserved everything he had coming his way - this, that entire episode, was only the beginning.

"Why..." Niall stared at Harry in disgust. "Why would you tell him that? Do you have any feelings in that wretched little black hole you call a heart?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "You're calling me heartless? Niall, maybe you don't remember how awfully Liam treated you, but I do. I told him that because it's true."

"Not it's fucking not! I love him!"

"You think you love him," Harry corrected, as if he knew everything. "But you don't."

Niall gritted his teeth, "Shut your mouth, Styles. You don't know anything. Liam's right - you don't deserve Zayn, or Louis for that matter. You don't know how to love anyone - you're just flat out mean to everyone."

Anger burned in Harry's veins, "You're only agreeing with Liam because you're both horrid, evil souls. To think I ever trusted either of you with anything..."

Niall was about to shoot something back, when a nurse poked her head in. She didn't seem to realize the two were in the middle of an arguement.

"Mr. Styles," she addressed Harry. "I have to run some tests, so if you could step out..."

"Glady," Harry murmered, and left the room - not before flipping Niall the bird, of course. He would pay for all the nasty things he said.

They all would...
