Only One (Harry Styles fanfic)

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Niall played the guitar as Louis sung terribly, making us laugh, while eating toasted marshmallows as the camp fire kept us warm. I cuddled into Harry's chest, his arms being my barrier keeping me safe.

Liam, Zayn, Louis, Niall, Jordan, Poppy, Ellie, Harry and I went camping for the weekend, just to take a break from all the stress school was giving us. I asked Liz if she wanted to come but she still hasn't settled in yet so she declined. It had been two weeks since she's moved here and she was planning to start school next week, which we all couldn't wait for! She still hadn't met Harry nor Niall yet, I'm sure she would love them, I mean who wouldn't?

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt, Louis singing and impersonating Suzan Boyle! Everyone had a good laugh but then we started singing properly, starting with camp fire songs. Niall started playing a familiar tune, The A Team by Ed Sheeran. He started singing, his voice like an angel. As the chorus started Louis joined in, then Liam and Zayn. I looked at Harry giving him a 'please start singing' look. He eventually joined in to the second chorus, his voice perfect! I melted in his arms, I could feel the vibration of his voice on his chest where my head laid. The five of them sung perfectly, like angels, they were pure amazing!

Everyone started getting tired so we decided to hit the tents. I fell asleep in Harry's arms quickly, providing me his cosy warmth.

I was woken up not long after by the sound of a strumming guitar. Suspicious of who it was I slipped out of the tent as Harry slept like a baby, a very hot baby may I say! I walked towards the camp fire seeing Niall's figure by it with his guitar in hand. I walked up and sat next to him on the wooden bench. "Why aren't you sleeping?" I asked.

"Couldn't sleep" he replied.

"Why not?" I questioned.

"Too much on my mind..." he answered taking a deep breath and looking up at the stars that shone bright. No one spoke as we both enjoyed the view. I shivered as the cold hit me, giving me goose bumps. "You cold?" he asked me caringly turning his attention to me.

"Yeah" I said wrapping my arms around my body. Niall grinned, he shuffled closer to me wrapping his arms around me, keeping me warm. It felt uncomfortable, but it wasn't like he was doing anything wrong, he just didn't want me to be cold. His warmth heated me up as we continued to look up to the sky. "What's on your mind that's keeping you awake?" I asked breaking the silence.

"A lot but there's one in particular" he replied, tightening his arms around me. What could it be?

Being the nosy person I am I asked "what is it?". He said nothing, just sighed. I looked back up to the stars but then felt a hand cup my cheek and kiss me. The kiss felt so un natural, it wasn't sweet like Harry's nor did it have sparks like I did with Harry. I pulled away looking into Niall's eyes in pure confusion, guilt and possibly anger. Why? Why again?

"I love you" he choked out, clearly ashamed. I got up, backing away, my eyes staring at him in shock. I returned back in my tent and laid where I belonged, in Harry's arms.

Why did Niall have to do that again? I clearly love Harry, why didn't he understand?

Niall's Pov

I'm such a fucking idiot! I shouldn't have done that! She's clearly in love with Harry and doesn't want anything to do with me! But the moment felt so right... It just felt so right having her in my arms and looking to the sky. It felt perfect, it felt like she was my girlfriend... But boy was I off track... I didn't blame her for her reaction. I shouldn't have done that! Why am I such a fucking retard? Should've just left it, I did it once before and it didn't turn out well. Why did I do it when things are starting to be alright again? Why did I have to fuck it up? Why didn't I leave from my mistakes? I'm such an idiot!

Selena's Pov

I woke up, my eyes meeting Harry's green orbs. He looked away blushing, as he was caught staring at me. I smiled at how cute he was, such a perfect boy... "I love you" I said.

He looked deep into my eyes, "I love you too and I want to spend forever with you" the words spilling out of his mouth as he tried to stop them by covering his mouth with his hand. My grin grew bigger, did he really just say that?

Harry turned into a bright red, "forever sounds perfect" I finally said kissing him sweetly.

We both got up, I yawned, I didn't get much sleep last night since I spent all night thinking about what happened between Niall and I.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Harry asked with deep care in his voice.

"Not really, I fell asleep but woke up unexpectedly and couldn't fall back to sleep" I said. I didn't lie, I did wake up and couldn't go back to sleep. We both walked out of our tent, catching Louis and Ellie's attention.

"Top of the morning to ya" Louis said while Ellie smiled and waved as she swallowed her drink. I smiled back at them as me and Harry made our way to the bathrooms to brush out teeth.

I walked back to the others, still tired. "Hello" I yawned out and everyone returned the greeting. Harry wasn't here yet, he was probably taking his time in the shower or something. I sat next to Niall, it was the only spare seat left. I could feel the awkward tension between us, I tried to avoid eye contact with him but he cleared his throat catching my attention.

"Well someone needs a Strepsil" Louis teased. I gave Niall a 'what do you want' face and he returned a 'I'm sorry' face but I ignored it. Even though it's not my fault it made me feel guilty, I was the kind of person who worries too much.

We all finished our breakfast and Harry still wasn't back which got me worried. "What should we do today?" Liam asked.

"We should be like Zayn and walk around saying I'm a Bradford bad boy" Louis replied giggling like a little child.

"I don't even say that anymore Louis" Zayn said embarrassed. We all started laughing as Louis patted Zayn on the back.

"Let's be serious, what should we do?" Liam asked again. No one said anything and tried to think of something. I heard footsteps come closer to us and I looked up to see my perfect boy, with a fish in his hand?

"I caught a fish" Harry said casually lifting his hand to show everyone the brim.

"That's it! We can go fishing!" Louis said as everyone agreed. We spent the rest of the day fishing and enjoyed the remainder of the trip.

But why the heck did Niall have to do that again? Can't he fall for someone else? I know it's hard to like someone who doesn't like you back but he should honestly give up and find some other girl that deserved his love, unlike me. I hate to hurt him, he needs to meet someone else! Wait... I think I got a plan...
