I would die for you, but I won't live for you -Niall Horan au

thirty-three

We had been here a few hours and were having so much fun. Niall and I spent most of the night together but I had lost him in the crowd of people about an hour ago.  He had a lot to drink so I’d say he was pretty drunk by this point. I’d had a lot to drink but I only felt tipsy. Champ or what?

I looked around for Niall but only found Harry who was dancing with a blonde girl that wasn’t Riley. I walked over to them and tapped on his shoulder. As soon as he stopped grinding on her, she turned to me and glared at me. “Hi.” I giggled. Harry said something to her and she stormed off.

“Have you seen Niall and Riley?” I asked. I was having a bit of a hard time standing up but I managed. See? Only tipsy. “Um… I think I saw them getting a drink together.” He replied. He didn’t sound drunk at all. I thought he was a party animal? “Why aren’t you drunk yet curly?” I asked. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around. “I was trying to look after Riley but I don’t know where she went.” He replied with a shrug.

“She’s fine, lets get some drinks in ya!” I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the bar. We ordered some drinks, including a few shots. We were pretty much done by the time we finished them all. “Go find Riley.” I ordered, stumbling down from my stool.

I walked around searching for a certain blonde haired boy but found Louis and Eleanor instead. “Payton! Hi!” she chirped. I said hi before turning to Louis. “Have you seen Niall?” I asked. Louis looked around before pointing in the direction of the bar. It was all the way across the club but I could still see Niall. Him and Riley were standing there talking to Liam, Zayn and Perrie. “Thanks!”

I started pushing my way through the dancing bodies and towards the bar. When I got there, Niall had Riley were nowhere to be seen. I walked over to Liam, Zayn and Perrie and asked where they went. “Well, Niall said he was tired so he wanted to go back to the condo and I think Riley left with some guy. Harry just left too.” Liam explained. He had a strange expression on his face but I ignored it.

“Oh okay, well I think I’m gonna go back too.” I said. I turned to walk away but Liam grabbed my arm. “Are you sure you want to?” He had this sad look in his eyes that meant he knew something was going to happen. “Why wouldn’t I?” I asked. When he didn’t answer, I pulled my arm away from him, walked out of the club and called a cab. When I got back to the condo, all the lights were turned off so I guessed that Harry and Niall were sleeping.

I walked straight to my room, expecting to find Niall sleeping there. Since he had been sleeping in my room since we got here, I was surprised when I found he wasn’t there. I walked to the end of the hall where his room was and walked in.

There, I found him with a certain blonde. They were sleeping together. And by sleeping together, I obviously meant sex. I gasped, causing them to both look at me. She turned her head and smirked at me. But with the smirk came the same dirty look I got early when I interrupted her and Harry.

(A/N: haha did you think I was going to say it was Riley?)

I didn’t know what hurt most. Walking in on the two of them, or the look on his face when he saw me. I know I was heartbroken, but the hurt in his eyes made it worse. As he started to get off of the girl and out of bed, I turned and ran back to my room. I could hear him running after me so once I got to my room, I slammed my door and locked it. I watched the knob turn as he tried opening the door, but once he realized it was locked he started banging his fist on the door. “Payton! Let me in!” he pleaded.

I started crying right then and there. Well, I guess crying was an understatement. I was losing it. I was completely balling my eyes out. I had leaned against the wall for support. I was so afraid that my legs were going to give out of me and send me into a hole of nothing. But not even the wall could hold me up properly. I started sliding down it and sat on the floor, still crying.

He basically told me he wanted to be with me and that he liked me today, he kissed me, slept in the same bed and cuddled me. We pretty much acted like a couple! He played me. He didn’t like me at all. And he didn’t want to date me. Even though he never physically said he liked me, he made it seem like he did.

And I hated him for it. 

DUN DUN DUN... uh-oh... what'll happen with Payton and Niall?
