Friends With Benefits

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I knew it was only a matter of time before Niall found out about me and Louis, even though I hated to think about it. As much as I wanted to say it stopped between us, it didn't. I couldn't help it, he was so utterly addictive I just couldn't break off whatever we had.

The day Niall found out, it was the last thing on my mind that I thought would happen. We were lying in bed side by side at another random hotel that we were staying in; Niall was on Twitter, tweeting fans and I was lying in bed, texing Louis- I was slightly addicted to texting him.

i wish you were with me

My heart started thudding and I couldn't help myself typing the next message.

i know, me too x

"Who you texting babe?" Niall asked, rolling over. I immediately shielded my phone, a natural reaction lately, causing Niall to have suspicions.

"Nobody!" I said quickly, locking my phone.

"Tell me! I wanna see who my competition is!" he tried to joke but I cringed at how he had hit the nail on the head.

"It's nobody Niall, don't you trust me?" I stammered. He had no reason to trust me.

"Of course I do, I'm just... curious is all!" he made up. Still, I held my phone away from him, but he suddenly dived on top of me and tickled me crazily. In a moment of weakness, I dropped the phone and it landed on the floor. I dived onto the floor to grab it but Niall was quicker and easily unlocked my phone, knowing my passcode off by heart. My heart sank as I saw his wide grin fall as he read.

"Niall... Say something...." I begged as he still didn't talk.

"You are really fucked up, do you know that?!" He jumped out of bed, throwing my phone onto the bed. He pulled on jeans and a t-shirt and I felt tears threatening to fall.

"Niall, please don't leave, I can explain!" I begged, even though I couldn't, it was obvious what was going on.

"Explain what?! That you're cheating on me?! With my best mate?!" Niall was crying once he said it out loud, as if it finally became real.

"Please, don't do anything stupid Niall, let me tell you what happened!" I was crying too, I had broken his heart just because I wanted the best of both worlds.

"You have five minutes Eavey, and then I am leaving!" he yelled, tears still falling down his cheeks. I tried to take a deep breath before thinking about what the hell I was going to say.

"It started before we even started going out-"

"Is that meant to make me feel better is it?!" he interrupted.

"Look Niall I know you're pissed but the least you can let me do is explain!" I said sternly. He nodded and let me continue.

"It started off as nothing, a bit of making out and flirting and then..."

"Oh my God you've slept with him haven't you?!" he asked quietly and I bit my lip, not saying yes or no, but I think it gave it away. He sank back down on the bed and threw his head in his hands. His body shook as he sobbed and I bit back a cry as I saw him so broken.

"I was waiting for the right moment to do that with you Eavey, to make it really special and the fact you've done this with Louis, ruins the whole way I think of you! I can't even look at you right now!" Niall shouted at me. I nodded, knowing this was probably me getting off lightly.

"How many times?" he suddenly asked.

"Niall...." I warned.

"Please, just tell me." he said quietly.
