Live Show Week 9

(right after results)

The result show had just finished. We were through to finals! So were Sam's group and Stephanie. Kelly too. The only mentors left were Niall and Simon. All of Brittany's teens and Zayn's over 25's had gone home. I was looking for Niall back stage back couldn't find him anywhere. But as I turned into the wardrobe section, I heard his voice, followed by Kelly's laugh. "Oh Niall you're so funny!" She said in her high pitch nasal voice. I couldn't make out anything Niall said, but I knew it was his voice. I turned a corner and I saw them together in a dark hallway. Tears pricked at the back of my eyes, welling up threatening to spill over. "Niall.." I said, stuttering. "Maria this isn't what it looks like." Niall said. "I think I know exactly what this is." I said, crying, screaming. "Niall you're cheating on me with that slut!" I can't believe you! I trusted you! I guess I never should have!" I screamed in his face turning and running away. The image of them together burned into my mind. I heard him chasing after me. "Niall you don't need to chase me anymore! WE'RE OVER!" I screamed. With that the footsteps stopped and I faintly heard crying that wasn't my own. I kept running until I reached my room. Everyone was there and the all started asking questions. "He cheated on me. I saw him with that slut. I should have known." I said once I could talk. I saw Amanda get her phone and go to the bathroom.

AMANDA'S POV

I went to the bathroom to call Zayn. I knew Niall wouldn't cheat on Maria. He couldn't he loved you to much. I thought Zayn would know what's going on. "Amanda what's wrong?" He asked when he picked up the phone. "Have you talked to Niall?" I asked. "Yeah I just got off the phone with him. What's this with Maria breaking up with him?" He asked. "Maria saw Niall and Kelly together and assumed the worst. She hates cheaters, every since my ex cheated on me. She always said if she thought a guy was cheating on her she would break up with him." I said. "She thinks Niall cheated on her? He didn't. Kelly stole him after the show finished and said Simon wanted to talk to him. She lead him back there and he had no way out. And then Maria came. She started yelling and broke up with him. When Niall called he was crying. He's not coming the rest of the week, he said he can't do it. He's only coming back for the result show." Zayn explained. "Oh my gosh. Maria jumped way to conclusions. How do we tell her?" I asked. "Tomorrow night we'll Skype the other boys and have Sam and Steph there. Don't tell Maria what we're doing. We need to convince her to take him back." Zayn said. "Definitely. Ok thanks, I knew you'd have a plan." I said. "Okay ill see you tomorrow. Love you Amanda." He said. I smiled and replied, "love you too Zayn."
