As his blue eyes watched the most disturbing video he has seen in his entire life, Niall felt his heart breaking into a million pieces. He witnessed how Zayn touched Perrie in an intimate manner, how he caressed her in the gentlest way as if the two were meant for each other. Their bodies arched in passion and lust as they continue doing the physical act.
Niall didn't even realize that tears escaped from his eyes, not until Perrie cleared her throat with a devilish grin on her face.
"You planned this, didn't you?" Niall sniffed, wiping away the tears escaping from his eyes. He was so desperate to scream and shout but he couldn't, being in the public place and all.
"Give it up, Niall..." Perrie scoffed as Niall noticed the sudden change of her tone from being polite and nice to being nasty and demonic. "Zayn told me as he fucked me in every single inch of the bedroom that I'm the one he wants and what he had with you is just a mistake."
Niall forced a swallow a lump of saliva on his throat as those words pierced him in more ways than one. As much as he didn't want to believe, the video was the evidence backing up Perrie's words. Niall noticed how happy Zayn was in the video. He has never seen Zayn this happy before, not until this video.
Niall pressed the stop button on his LED screen, closing his eyes as he tried his best to erase what he just watched in his head. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. It was pointless to argue anymore as he opened his eyes again, staring straight at the smugness on Perrie.
"You know what, you and Zayn, you both deserved each other," Niall said, his tone was devoid of any emotions. "There must be a special place in hell for both of you." With that, Niall stood up and turned around, but before he could make another step, he heard the threat from Perrie.
"I'm warning you, Niall. Zayn is mine!"
The anger brewed up inside him, trying to explode but he willed himself not to cause any kind of scandal. Then, he turned around with no emotions on his face and said, "You can have Zayn all you want. Why would I wanna be with someone who is a two-timing jerk?"
The tears kept falling as Niall fled from the scene, feeling his entire world breaking into pieces. It was official, he should start with the healing process no matter how painful the experience was. But then, he felt another vibration from his phone. All of a sudden, his mind got the worst of him, praying that Perrie didn't send him another disgusting video of her and Zayn doing God knows what. But all he got was a puzzling look on his face when he saw an unread message from Sophia.
I need to talk to you. Can you meet me at my flat? ASAP
From the nature of the message, Niall instantly knew that Sophia could be in a lot of trouble. He tried his best to kept a lid on his emotional problems. For now, he was going to be a friend and help Sophia to the best of his ability.
Once he got to Sophia's building, Niall couldn't help but panic as well. For some unknown reason, he could feel that something bad happened to his friend. Niall knocked, but it didn't take that much time until Sophia let him in. He saw the panic and fear from Sophia was a clear sign that something was definitely wrong.
"I am so glad you're here," Sophia greeted, hugging tightly at her blonde friend. She didn't even let Niall respond before dragging him away inside the flat.
"You're definitely not alright," Niall said after recomposing himself. With Sophia pacing back and forth in the entire living room was definitely telling him that something was wrong. "I guess not. What happened?"
"I did a terrible thing..." Sophia bit her nails, trying herself to be calm as much as she could but nothing seemed to be working.
"Sophia, you need to calm down. Tell me what happen?"
"Oh my God! What am I gonna do!" Sophia shrieked as the horrible images popping in her head. "My family is going to kill me!"
Niall grabbed Sophia on shoulders, staring her in her eyes.
"Just calm the fuck down and tell me what happened!"
That was enough for Sophia to snap out of his confusing and disturbing thoughts. She forced to swallow as she soothed herself with the gentleness from Niall's blue eyes.
"Niall, I did a terrible thing..."
"What thing?"
Sophia bit her lower lip as the memories from last week flashed before her very eyes. The mere thought of recalling it almost want her to vomit in an instant.
"I'm late..."
"Late? For what?" Niall asked. "Late for a photoshoot? You know I can drive you since I don't have anything to do today."
"No, Niall..." Sophia shook her head. "I'm late... my period..."
There were no words to describe how surprised and stunned he was as the news dropped on him. His eyes widening in shock as his mouth forming an 'O' to express his feelings.
"Wait... do-does that mean yo-you're..."
"I don't know," Sophia answered, feeling anxious about what her life would be in the next few months. "I'm freaking out, Niall. What should I do?"
"Did you check it already?"
"What you mean check it?"
"For the love of God, Sophia! Before freaking out how about trying a pregnancy test?"
"Oh... you're right."
Within seconds, Sophia came back tightly gripping on a package box of a pregnancy test. Her hands were shaking tremendously, unable to hide her nerves. Niall stabilized it by holding on to her.
"Okay, it says here 99.0% accurate," Niall said, glancing through the box.
"What if..."
"Don't fill your head with ideas yet. Just pee on the damn stick!" Niall growled. He was starting to feel the nerves as well.
"Please stay here," Sophia begged, closing the bathroom door behind her.
"Okay, I'll stay here," Niall answered, feeling every single hard thump on his chest. He knew that this happened to some people, but he would never expect that it would happen to Sophia. While waiting, he wondered who could be the father. There was only one guy in his mind who could be responsible for all of this mess.
"Done!" Niall almost jumped from nervousness when he heard Sophia screaming out loud from the other side of the door. Sophia opened the door, letting the blonde in.
"What do we do next?"
"We wait for two minutes," Niall said, staring at the stick on the bathroom sink. "If it's one line, negative."
"And if it's two lines?" Sophia asks worriedly.
Niall looked up, staring at his panicky friend and said, "If it's two lines then you're screwed..."
"Niall..." Sophia whined. All Niall could do was to chuckle at the looming darkness over them.
"I'm joking... but actually not," Niall said. He knew for a fact that if the pregnancy test showed two lines, his friend's life would be extremely different. "Not to snoop or anything but who's the father? Is it Liam?"
Sophia stared at Niall with a worried look.
"I hope it's Liam..." Niall said with a concerned tone but the way Sophia looked at him, he already knew the answer to his question. "Oh my God, it's not Liam?"
"About that..."
Both of them shrieked as they heard the loud sound of a timer, indicating that the two minutes are up. Sophia turned her back away from the pregnancy test because she couldn't imagine what her life was going to be after this.
"What are you doing?" Niall questioned, staring oddly at Sophia's behavior.
"I can't look. You tell me."
Niall forced to swallow as his nerves multiplied by a thousand fold. He slowly moved until he saw the stick in the sink. Every thump of his chest was scaring him to death. But then, the stick was seen by his eyes and he couldn't believe what he saw on the stick.
"Sophia, it's uh...
"What?" Sophia shrieked, placing both of her hands over his eyelids. "Please tell me, Niall. I'm freaking out here."
Niall slowly made Sophia turned around, gently peeling the hands away. He saw how Sophia opened her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Soph... It's two lines," Niall frowned. "You're pregnant."
