If I'm Louder (Niall Horan Love Story)

Chapter Thirty Three: The News

     You and Zayn entered the house exactly on time. 5:00. “Hello there!” Harry cheered when he saw you both. You entered the house with a little smile. Zayn looked quite happy because he believes that his bestfriend and his girlfriend get along. He’s wrong. “Hi there Hazza!” Zayn said happily as he gave him a big hug. “Woah!” Harry said as Zayn lifted him off the ground. “Wow! Someone’s happy!” Harry said as his feet reached the floor again. “You bet I am!” he said extatically. You couldn’t break his heart. You didn’t want him to know that all his happiness was living on a lie. You were silent. All the others then came into the living room watching Zayn smile like an idiot. “So, I’m assuming that the meet went well?” Louis asked as he took a seat on the couch. He looked at you. You swalled. All you did was nodd. Louis could tell that you were hiding something. “Are you sure?” you mouthed to you. You nodded again. All he did was sigh. He knew something was up but kept it to himself. “So?” Liam questioned. Zayn took a seat down. You took a seat on the floor beside Niall. Niall nudged you. “Hey, you alright babe?” he asked. You nodded. Apparently you were really bad at lying or whatever because every time you did something of that sort someone would always wonder what’s wrong. “You sure babe?” he asked. “You don’t seem alright. You look a little pale.” he said as he took his hand and felt your cheek, then your forehead. “Niall, I’m fine.” you assured him. He sighed just as Louis did. “Tell us what you guys did.” Harry said. Zayn started explaining. “Well _____ and I met up with Perrie at a resturaunt. Grabbed some lunch, walking in town, stopped at the park. That’s really all.” he said. Everyone smiled. “So?” Eleanor asked you. “How do you like her _____?” Eleanor questioned. All eyes shot towards you. You swallowed once more. “She’s lovely. Very nice girl.” you lied as best as you could with a little smile. For the first time ever, Zayn fell for a lie you told him. It seemed as if he as too happy to realize the truth. However, it seemed as if everyone else didn’t. They all looked at you suspiciously, knowing that something was up. You shrugged. “Well.. Alright then.” Louis broke the silence. You started watching television when Niall whispered in your ear

      “Something’s up.” you looked at him. He raised his eyebrows. “We’ll talk later okay?” you asked. He nodded. Then you got a text from Harry. You read it. It read “By now, you should’ve figured out that you’re a nad liar.” You couldn’t help but smirk. You replied. “I know…” he didn’t reply back after that. You all had pizza for supper. You saw Eleanor nudge Louis in the middle of it. “What?” he asked. She rolled her eyes and smiled. “_____.” she said your name. You looked up. “Louis and I were wondering if you and Niall want to go on a double date tomorrow.” she said. You and Niall looed at eachother and shrugged. “I’m fine with that. What about you?” he asked. You nodded. “Yeah. Sounds great.” you smiled. “Awesome.” Louis said. Harry cleared his throat. “What about me, Zayn and Liam?” he asked. You exchanged some looks. “What about?” Niall asked clueless. Harry gave him a little look. “You’re not going to invite us?” Harry asked. “No.” Eleanor replied. Harry looked shocked. “Well!” he said. “Awww, come on Harry.” Liam said cheering him up. “We can find something fun to do together.” he said. Harry nodded. “Yeah thats right! We’ll have fun without you people.” he said attempting to make you jealous. Silly silly Harry. It was around 11:30 when you all passed out. The next morning you woke up early. You were in the kitchen alone when Harry walked in. “Goodmorning there lovely.” he said as he came over and gave you a nice goodmorning hug. “Morning.” you yawned as you hugged him back. Then he took a seat down. “Now…” he started off. “Tell me what happened yesterday between you and Perrie. And don’t say nothing. Because I’ve known you long enough to figure out that you’re a terrible liar.” he said. “Harry!” you comaplained. “Talk.” he commanded. You sighed. You new you weren’t getting out of this. “Alright..” you said. You took a seat next to him. “Ya see, Zayn and I met Perrie at a resturaunt. The first time I met her, she seemed so nice and sweet. Very happy to meet me.” you started. Harry was listening with all ears. “But then when Zayn went to the bathroom things turned. She told me to keep my distance from him and know that Zayn was her boyfriend and not mine.” you admitted. It actually pained you to say something. Harry’s jaw dropped. “What?!” he exclaimed standing up. You sighed and nodded. He started pacing the floor. “I don’t understand!” he said. “Perrie’s been so kind and nice and sweet to us! She’s never been mean!” he said. You didn’t know what to say. “I mean..” you started off saying. “Is it because she knows how close we are? You think? … You think she may be jealous?” you asked Harry. He thought about it for a moment. Then he nodded his head “Yes.” You fet awful. “Oh God…” you said as you put your head down and starred at the floor. You heard Harry walk over to you and hit back down on his seat. “_____, look at me.” he said. You didn’t flinch. “Look at me.” he repeated. He took his hand and placed it underneath your chin, lifting it, forcing you to look him in the eyes. “Don’t you ever think that you’re getting in the way of Zayn’s and Perrie’s relationship.” he told you. You couldn’t help but feel bad. “But..” you said. “No buts!” Harry cut you off. “If by any chance you feel threatened by her… You must tell Zayn.” he said. You shook your head no. “No.” you said.
