Niall's POV

When I entered the house, I put my books away before joining the boys in the living room. Harry was sat on a couch by himself and across from his was Zayn and Louis who were having a quiet conversation. Harry was just eating a piece of pizza. I took a seat beside Harry; taking a slice for myself. I felt a beep in my pocket and put down my pizza before taking my phone out.

"Hey Niall it's Justin :) Just making sure its you - Justxx". I couldn't help but chuckle and smile, sending back a text.

"Yea it's me, lol - Nixx".

"oooo, Ni what's up with the big smile?" Harry asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. I couldn't help blush and laugh at his sight.

"look he's blushing!" Zayn shrieked. I looked back at my phone to see another text from Justin.

"We should get together tomorrow, meet at the starbucks at 11? - Justxx". I replied with a quick "Yea that would be awesome".

"look! He's meeting a guy named Justin tomorrow! I want to meet him Ni, is he cute?" Harry asked as he kept ranting. I chuckled.

"Yea he's cute, but were just friends" I replied.

"Mhmm, sure just wait" Zayn said. I stared at Louis to see a mad expression on his face. Just because I met a new guy didn't mean I didn't miss Lou.

*flashback*

"Oh come Ni don't be a scardy cat, just jump in the water!" Louis shrieked as he jumped in the water naked. I hesitated before taking off my clothes and joining my boyfriend in the water.

"Ni! Help I c-c" Louis said before going under water.

"Lou!? Lou!?" I screamed as I panicked.

"ROAR!" Louis yelled as he came back up making me shriek like a girl. He then burst out laughing.

"Lou that's not funny! you scared the shit out of me!" I shrieked before hitting him in the head.

'Aww your too cute NI" He said before pulling me in for a kiss.

*End of flashback*

I felt tears come in my eyes before I leapt off the couch and walked to my room. I closed the door quietly behind me; locking the door before crawling into bed letting small quiet sobs out. My heart was so crushed, but was I going to cry every night now? It's seems like he got over me so easy, yet I can't spend 5 minutes in life with not thinking about him.

Louis' POV

Shit. No. No. NO NO! This wasen't supossed to happen! Now Niall is moving on, meeting some dude name Justin? No, he was going to fall in love and I was going to rott. I can't take this anymore, I have to confront Jack, I just can't. Zayn and Harry left to their room probably to have some "fun" while I sat on the couch waiting for Jack. A knock came to the door and I opened it to see Jack.

"hey babe" He said as he kissed my cheek.

"Jack, we need to talk" I whispered. He burrowed his eyebrows in confusion before following me into the living room.

"jack... I- I don't think this is working out, I think we need to see other people. Look Jack, I really miss Ni, and I need to tell him the truth because I..I can't take it anymore!" I whisper yelled. Jack gave me a glare before pushing me roughly on the wall making me groan in pain.

"listen here tommo, you listen to my rules and no one get's hurt, but if you want to be the selfish person you are and be like this then fine" Jack said before letting me go. I grabbed onto his wrist.

"No.. I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me" I mumbled. A smile came to his face before he pulled me in ugly kiss; leading us up to my bedroom. That night was horrid.

Niall's POV

All of us had 4 classes every week so we had the rest of the week off. ( fri, sat, sun ) I got up, took a shower, put my hair in a normal quiff before slipping some clothes on. I went for red chinos with a black long sleeved shirt and white supras. I made my way out; walking to starbucks.

*** When I entered, I saw Justin sitting at a table looking at his phone. I smiled and took the seat across of him.

"Oh! Sorry didn't see you there, hey Niall" He smiled.

"Hey Justin" I smiled back.

"So, are you hungry?" He asked.

"starved" i replied as I rubbed my belly. He chuckled and we got up joining the line. I ordered a coffee with a blueberry muffin and a chocolate chip cookie while he ordered a coffee with a cupcake. We ate and talked until we finished.

"so you want to come over? The boys want to meet you anyways" I asked. Justin blushed before nodding and I smiled before we made our way out. We walked and talked and for some reason when our arms touched I felt tingles go through like with Louis. When we finally reached home, I opened the door and entered to see the boys in the same position in the living room but this time Zayn was cuddled with Harry.

"hey guys, I want you to meet Justin" I smiled pointing to the lad beside me. Justin smiled and waved before saying "Hi". Harry smiled revealing his dimples and got up; giving Justin a hug, he's so weird.

"wow Niall is right, you are cute" He whispered.

"Harry!" I shrieked embarassed. Justin chuckled before shaking hands with Zayn. Louis just sat on the couch, interested on his phone.

"Lou?" Zayn asked. Louis looked up before shrugging and getting up; walking away.

"did I do something to offend him?" Justin asked.

"oh no, he's just jelllooo" Harry scoffed and chuckled. I looked to see Louis going upstairs, but before he entered I saw a tear slip down his cheek. I then felt guilt run in me.

*** Justin left after an embarassing conversation with Harry and Zayn (mostly Harry) and I don't know why but I...I made my way to Louis' room. I knocked on the door and heard mumbles and movement before the door creaked open. I entered and closed the door behind me to see Louis lying stomach down on the bed so he couldn't see me. I sighed before sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Your right Louis, we do need to talk" I said. Louis gasped before looking at me with puffy red eyes.

"Ni?" He asked. I nodded and chuckled because he was acting like he saw a ghost.

"Ni....T-there's something I need to tell you" He said. I nodded suggesting he should continue. He then burst into full sobs and I couldn't help but feel shocked. I don't know why, but my arms ended up wrapping around him. I missed him dearly and if becoming good friends was there, then that was good enough.

"Ni...The truth is I did'nt cheat on you, Jack he..he dugged me and raped me....But then the reason I got with him after is because...well Ni...H-He threatened to hurt you NI! and I can't let him hurt you! I"m not even supossed to be telling you this but I can't stand it anymore. I love you Ni with all my heart so when I saw you come home with that Justin guy, I knew how you felt about me and Jack and... I"m so selfish" He explained. I suddenly felt tears in my eyes and before I knew it, my salty lips were on the pair of salty lips of the person I would die for.
