How Did I Get So Lucky?

Chapter Twenty

*Beth's POV*

I look over to my right to find Ella running towards me, tears running down her face.

"Beth! Beth! We need to get out of here, NOW!" She cried. I looked over to see Niall running towards us.

"Does it have to do with a certain blonde?" I asked Ella. She bit her lip and nodded.

"Him and Ashley." She sobbed.

"Right." I looked over to Harry and got his attention.

"Take Ella outside please?" I asked.

He nodded, smiled, then linked arms with Ella. I turned to see Niall rushing towards us.

I stepped in front of him and stopped him with one of my arms.

"Where's Ella?!" He asked.

"Crying. Good Job Niall. You and Ashley? Wow NEVER thought you would stoop so low."

"I didn't!" He said stepping forward.

"Enough Niall, she is done with you, how could you do that to her?" I said in disbelief of Niall's behaviour. I walked away from him leaving him in the bar. When I got outside I kissed Harry's cheek.

"Thank you." I said to him.

"Anything for you guys." He said kissing me again.

I turned my attention towards Ella, I wrapped my arm around her and we got a cab. We hopped in the cab and I told the driver the familiar address, paid him then after 10 minutes of driving we hopped out. I pulled Ella up to the front door and I knocked.

The door opened to a bright yet tired face.

"Beth! and Ella, are you alright?!" She asked.

"Hi to you too Mum." I joked. "Look Ni-"

(A/N : Beth's Moms house got repaired and fixed from the fire) :) okay, read on :)

"Please... Don't Say... His Name." Ella said between sobs.

"We just need a place to stay." I explained.

My Mum nodded and opened the door wider.

"Of course! You don't have to ask, these doors are always open."

"Thanks Mum." I said taking a seat and Ella sitting beside me.

"Boys?" My mother asked Ella. She nodded. "Oh I have just the thing!" She said running towards the kitchen and coming out with a big tube of... Yes you guessed it...Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

Ella laughed and took the tub from my mother and took a spoon of the three my mother had in her hand.

"Thank you." She sobbed.

"There, there." My mum comforted her.

"I don't even know what I did?"

"No, no you didn't do a thing!"

"I went to go to the bathroom and I saw him kissing... HER! ugh I can't even think of the two together, he knew how fake she was! I can't believe after endless nights of telling secrets and our dreams that he would go and do something like this to me. I thought he was actually different." Ella cried, taking another spoonful of ice cream.

A few hours went by of talking just girls, a knock came at the door. I went to go answer it making sure it wasn't Niall.

I opened the door.

"Harry, Zayn... Uh Liam?" I asked.

"I need to apologize to you two."

"Yeah you do. Come in guys." I said letting them in pecking Harry on the lips as he passed me.

Liam took a seat in the couch opposite Ella's and my mum's.

"I'll leave you guys to it then." My mum awkwardly said while exiting the room.

"So..." Liam started.

"How's Ashley?" Ella asked angry.

"We're over. I am so sorry you two for not believing you. I've just felt so lonely lately and I went out and met Ashley. She seemed nice enough, but I should have gotten to known her better. I am just so sorry. I am so hurt that she would do that to me, but I can't believe how you feel. Can you please forgive me?" He said putting his face in his hands.

"Liam?" Ella sniffled.

"Yes?" He said hopefully.

"I... I forgive you."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" He said hugging her.

"Niall, is a wreck." Zayn chimed in.

"Good." Ella said.

*Ella's POV*

The sound of Niall's name coming out of someones mouth made my head snap up. He should be a wreck.

"I am nothing better, I guess." I said sadly.

"Pfft stop it! You are so much better!" Beth said hugging me from the side.

"Thank you all for being here." I slightly smiled.

"No problem." Harry said. "Louis wished he was here but him and Emily had to stay with 'He Who Shall Not Be Named'"

"Yeah, that's okay." I said.

"Anyways, do you guys want to watch a movie?" I asked.

"Yeah! How about... Pitch Perfect!?" I asked.

"Anything you want." Zayn smiled.

"Thanks." I smiled.

Another knock came at the door. Beth got up and opened the door. All I could see what a giant teddy bear.

"You Whooo!!!" Louis head popped out from behind the bear.

"LOUEH!" I said running and hugging him.

"This fella is for you!" Louis said handing me the bear.

"Where's Emily?" I asked.

"HERE I AM!" Emily said running through the door.

"Emily!" I say, running towards her and hugging her.

I then turned and took the teddy bear from Louis.

"Thank you so much Louis." I smiled at him wiping my eyes of tears.

"I saw it and then thought of you." He smiled back.

"Hey guys, Niall doesn't want to be alone for too long, and also he's asking for you." Louis said the last part to me.

"Why?" I roll my eyes.

"Well, I don't want to have to be a messenger, but he said it wasn't his fault, he didn't kiss back."

"I am not ready to talk to him yet. I don't want to talk about this tonight." I said.

"I will go see him." Zayn said walking over to me.

"Thanks for coming." I said hugging him before he left.

"No problem, do you have a message for him?"

"No." I said shaking my head.

"Alright, then I will see you guys later. Bye!" Zayn said waving to us then exiting the house.

"So, Pitch Perfect?" I smiled to the others while clutching my teddy bear to my chest.

We laughed through the movie but I couldn't help but look around at my friends, my best friends. Who would stay with me and not care about their Saturday night, but I also couldn't help but think a little empty, without Niall. He was my best friend that was there for me when I had problems with my dad. I felt so safe when I was with him, and he was like my protector. I loved him. It was so hard for me to think of him with someone else. He was mine. I thought we could really work out but I guess he had other thoughts. I hugged my teddy bear tighter wishing that Niall was the one I was really hugging. When Zayn asked me if I had a message, I couldn't help but think: I miss you already... and I love you..
