More Than This (Isabellestories contest entry)

Niall had always considered Taylah his best friend, ever since Taylah moved in next door when they were three they had been inseparable. When Melissa moved into town she quickly became friends with Taylah and joined their little friend group. She became a close friend of the two, but Niall and Taylah wre always best friends at heart. Niall's dreams came true when he got on the X Factor, Taylah and Melissa supported him and his band throughout all the live shows. Taylah and Melissa's friendship grew without Niall there, Niall was still her best friend but Melissa was too. That Christmas after the show was over Niall confessed to Taylah his love for Melissa, breaking Taylah's heart in two. Nobody knew that Taylah was in love with Niall, only Melissa. Taylah finally turns eighteen and is basically forced to move out of her childhood home to a small flat in the same complex as Niall and the rest of One Direction. Being so close to Niall all the time hurts Taylah even more than she had thought, she assumed spending more time with her best friend would be fun, right? Wrong. Niall finally got the courage to ask out Melissa, breaking Taylah even more. But Taylah quickly devises a plan to get everything to work out in her favor, with the help from a certain band mate of Niall's.
