Niall's Pov:

Why did this have to be the only option? I feel like I'm in a shark tank, I don't want to be around Zayn, He's the last person I want to be near right now. How can he think he can just walk in and I'm going to tell him everything? He dosen't even see what he did to me, He thinks he's the innocent one in the whole situation. Zayn he left me, He walked away from me all because he wanted to be popular, He's just like every other person out there. All he cares for is being popular. I needed Zayn, I needed him so badly, But he wasn't there, Now all of a sudden he's interested in my life, All he wants is gossip so he can laugh about it with his stupid friends. Popularity changed Zayn, It made him become this heartless monster, He used to be so sweet and caring now he's just not. The Zayn I once knew is gone, Zayn moved on and so did I, I've gone through things that have changed me, I've gotten a new best friend I don't need Zayn back, I have Cher and she's one of the greatest friends I have. I sighed as I slowly made my way down the stairs, I walked into the kitchen to find Trisha making breakfast.

"Niall, Sweetheart how did you sleep?" She asked.

"Fine thank you, Do you need any help?" I asked, She shook her head.

"No it's fine thank you, Do you want some breakfast?" She said.

"Yeah that would be great" I replied, Trisha smiled before placing some pancakes on a plate and handing it to me, I smiled gratefully before beginning to eat them.

"Niall I've made you an appointment at the doctors just to get you checked over" Trisha informed me, I nodded my head.

"Can Cher come?" I asked.

"Of course she can" She replied with a smile on her face, I returned the smile, This felt nice, It felt good to sit down and have a proper conversation, It felt amazing for me to wake up and not be in pain from a beating the night before. I wasn't afraid to walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. Here with Trisha I wasn't scared because I knew she cared for me and my safety. 

"Niall, Last night I, I told Zayn what's been happening to you, The situation with your dad, He wanted to know what was wrong, I haven't told him everything just that your fathers been abusing you" She informed me, I sighed, Honestly I didn't want him to know, How do I know that he won't go and tell all his friends? Then make me look weaker then I already am. 

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He was angry, I think apart of him blames himself because he wasn't there, He wants to support you sweetheart" Trisha said, I shook my head.

"I find that hard to believe, Zayn he's changed" I stated, She shook her head.

"He's still there Niall you'll see that" She replied. 

The doctors trip was a waste of time, They didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know, Just bad bruising but no broken bones, They gave me something for the pain, Questioned how I got the bruises in the first place, Then they sent me on my way. Cher asked how it is living with Zayn. She also asked if he's been leaving me alone. I informed her that he's been keeping his distance but he's still trying to find out what's been going on. Cher actually gave me some really good advice, She told me to do what my heart tells me, If I believe that I can trust Zayn then I should, But if I don't feel that I can then I should keep quiet, But I just don't know how I feel. Zayn he was a big part of my life, And he just walked away like it was nothing, Like our friendship didn't mean a thing to him. Now he's acting as though he did nothing wrong, How can he think like that? How can I forgive and forget? After everything I've been through I just don't know if I can trust, The only people I trust is Cher and Trisha. 

"Trisha I'm home" I yelled as I walked into the house. The house was quiet, It felt like nobody was there, My insides cried, The silence it always killed me, The silence is when the reminders start. 

"She's not here" Zayn's voice sounded in my ears. 

"Where is she?" I asked. 

"She got called into work, She gave me money for take out, We could eat some and watch a film" Zayn suggested.

"I think I'm gonna go meet Cher" I stated, Zayn sighed.

"Niall can you just stop avoiding me, At least tell me how the doctors went?" Zayn said.

"It was fine" I mumbled, Zayn groaned.

"I'm sorry, Mum she told me what's been happening to you" He whispered, I shrugged my shoulders.

"No big deal" I mumbled.

"How can you say that? How can you say your dad beating you is no big deal!" Zayn exclaimed.

"Because it's been my life for years! After a while you get pretty used to it, But you wouldn't know that Zayn because you've never had your life ruined!" I yelled.

"You should have told me what was happening" Zayn exclaimed.

"Why would I have done that? You walked away from me, You were my best fucking friend and you betrayed me" I stated.

"You didn't want to do anything with me Niall, You could have come with me but you didn't" Zayn argued.

"That's what you think! You walked away Zayn, I needed you, When I lost my mum I fucking needed you, But where was you Zayn? You wasn't there! You was to busy with the popular crowd!" I yelled.

"I wanted to fit in! Like every kid out there I wanted to fit in, I never wanted to walk away from you and if you feel like I did then I'm sorry, I'm sorry Niall" Zayn shouted.

"You think I didn't? I'm bullied by everybody, You were supposed to be my friend but you stood back, You stood back and you watched me get bullied, You watched me get torn down, You just stood there Zayn, All the pain I went through you just stood back and you watched" I stated.

"That's not true, I haven't changed, I got new friends Niall, I moved on" Zayn said.

"No you became the one thing you swore you'd never be, You became a coward and you ran away, You hide behind those fakes because it's exactly what you've become, You've become a fake! Over the years you've changed and not for the better, I haven't changed who I am, I've remained the same over all these years everything I've been through I'm still the same person!" I stated, Zayn sighed. 

"We drifted apart didn't we?" He whispered.

"No, You walked away, You gave up on our friendship" I stated.

"Then you turned to Cher" Zayn mumbled.

"No, I found a person who stayed true, She's stayed by my side through all the bullying, She stood up for me, Cher has done the one thing you should have done and that's stick by me and not buckle under the pressure" I replied, Zayn sighed.

"I didn't handle things well I know that, And I know what you've been through, I also know I should have been there for you, And I wasn't, And Niall I'm so sorry if I could go back and change it I would in a heartbeat" Zayn stated.

"Time travel dosen't exist, It's not about what you should have done, It's about what you should be doing" I mumbled.

"What does that mean?" Zayn asked.

"If I have to tell you then your never going to know, Figure it out yourself" I replied before turning and leaving the room. I want to turn to Zayn I really do, I want our old friendship back but I just don't know if it's still there. Zayn walked away from me, If he's to blind to see that then there's nothing I can do.
