The Project- A Zouis Fanfiction

Chapter 15

"Liam?" I called. The door burst open as soon as I called his name and Liam faceplanted on the ground in front of me. I grinned despite of myself as he pulled himself up from the ground and groaned. 

"Were you standing outside of the door?" I asked, trying to stop grinning at Liam's flushed face.

"Ah, well... sorta?" Liam stuttered adorably. Wait adorably?! Harry get a hold of yourself you just discovered that you cheated on your boyfriend! What the hell? My grin fell off of my face.

"Well, we need to talk. And I need to see Niall. Today." Liam nodded and sat in front of me.

"It's alright Harry. Talk, yell at me, punch me in the face for all I care. Anything that makes you feel better. I'll go along with it, I swear." Liam said, accidentally creating a rhyme, determination gleaming in his brown eyes. They were a deep brown that would capture you whenever you looked too long and his lips were a pale pink and his mouth was slightly open I was so not thinking about kissing Liam right now. I shook my head.

"Liam, you didn't kiss me. I kissed you and granted, I was more drunk, but it was me who made the move and it was me who ruined it!" Liam opened his mouth to protest, but I put one of my large hands over his face and cut him off. "Hush. I know you're going to say that you went along with and kissed me back. But it's still my fault! I could hear Louis yelling at you and it's just because Niall is his best friend. But Liam, I'm scared! I'm so goddamn scared and confused  because I fucking enjoyed it when I kissed you! I know I did! I remember it and I feel like the worst person in the world, but when I was kissing you I felt something that I didn't even feel with Niall!" 

Liam's mouth dropped open as mine abruptly shut. Did I seriously say that? 

"Harry," Liam whispered. I looked up and met his gaze. He put a hand over mine and squeezed gently. "I think you need to talk to Niall. Talk to him before me." 

I don't know what came over me, but I burst into tears and collapsed into Liam's arms. The next thing I knew, I was in Liam's car and we were going to Niall's. 

<><><><><><><><><>

I took a deep breath before entering Niall's room with Liam. Niall was hunched over on his bed, his guitar at his side. His watery blue eyes shot up as soon as we entered the room. Before he could yell at us to get out, I took a step forward and said,

"I have to talk to you Ni. Alone." 

Niall didn't respond. He just looked at the ground and shrugged. My stomach felt like it was coming up my throat and Liam patted me gently on the back before backing out of the room and heading downstairs. I shuffled toward Niall and opened my mouth to speak to him, but before a sound came out, Niall spoke in a broken, quiet voice.

"Am I not good enough?" 

"W-what?" I exclaimed as Niall raised his head to look at me. 

"Am I not good enough for you, Harry? Is that why you cheated on me? Did you cheat on me? What the hell happened?" 

"Niall, I swear if I had remembered earlier, I would've come to you to explain sooner. But I was drunk! I didn't remember until today and now Louis probably told you everything in his perspective."

Niall shot up from his bed and yelled, "So it DID happen! You cheated on me! You actually did! Louis and Zayn weren't lying?! Neither was Josh!" I was surprised to see that all of his tears were gone and his face was convered with an extremely angered look. "Why? WHY?" He screamed. "Am I not good enough? Did I do something? Tell me why you did this to me!" 

"Niall! You ARE good enough!" I yelled. "You are a million times better than anything I deserve. I don't deserve someone as amazing as you! What I did was wrong. What Liam did was wrong. I know I'm a terrible person Ni. You need to know that it isn't your fault. The fault is mine and I am so so so so so  so sorry! A-and I need to know... if you still want to be with me." The last part came stumbling out of my mouth before I could stop it, along with the tears that streamed down my cheeks.

Niall just frowned and out his face in his hands. There was a long pause.

"Harry, we can't." He sighed. My stomach churned. I mumbled a quiet "Oh." Niall looked up and walked toward me until he was right in front of my face. He took a deep breath.

"We can't do this. More impotantly, I can't do this. I was talking to J-Josh and he's seen the way you look at Liam without you even realizing it. As much as I hate you right now Harry, I still want you to be happy. And us being together won't make either of us happy anymore. If your heart is telling you that you should be with Liam. Go for it. I mean it, Harry. I don't forgive you completely, but I think the time we had together was great, but we both are being pulled away by fate or some stuff like that. And I think we need to listen to it, our hearts." 

His words stunned me. His eyes were earnest and he took a couple steps back before saying "Are you ok?"

"Am I-I ok? I should be asking you, Niall. I'm the one who is at fault." I said, still shocked. "I- what you just did- I mean, what you just said was... incredible." Niall blushed a bit and said "I just said what I was feeling. But thanks," He grinned. "It felt nice to say it." 

"It felt nice to hear it. I don't deserve this at all." 

"Maybe not, but I want you to talk to Liam after me, ok? Because I have something to do that I probably should've done a while ago." Niall said, smiling widely. I shook my head in disbelief. He was ok? He just forgave me (almost) and was so understanding. How could it be?

"Niall... You're being so amazing about this. What are you hiding?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at Niall, who's smile didn't falter once. 

"I think I just discovered something." He whispered. 

"Okay," I said slowly. "What is it?" 

"I think I'm in love with Josh."
