Rachel's P.O.V

"Emm, yeah, yeah, sure.." he muttered , still frowning.

"Great, let's go now" I said quickly, grabbing his keys off of the counter and pulling him down the hall with me.

"Your in an awful rush to leave.. Did something happen?" he asked as we walked towards the car.

" 'Course not.. Can I drive?" I asked, pretty much ignoring his question.

"Sure.." he mumbled, climbing into the passenger seat.

We drove in silence for a while.

Eventually Niall broke the silence.

"Rachel seriously, whats wrong?" he asked softly.

"What do you mean?" I asked back, my stomach churning.

"You know what I mean. You've been acting weird since I got back from tour. And I know you were crying this morning... I know you well enough to know when there's something wrong" he replied.

I sighed.

He was right.

He did know me well enough to know when there was something wrong.

And boy was there something wrong now.

"Rach?" he snapped me out of my train of thought.

"I'm fine Niall.." I mumbled in response.

"Don't lie to me Rach" he muttered, sounding slightly annoyed now.

I bit my lip.

I didn't reply for a while so Niall spoke again.

"Sorry.. I didn't mean to upset you.." he mumbled.

"You didn't.." replied, shrugging slightly.

"Its just that, your my best friend Rachel. But lately I feel like your so distant. Ever since...." his voice trailed off with those two last words.

"Ever since what Niall?" I asked, dreading the answer.

"It doesn't matter" he muttered shaking his head.

"Ever since what Niall?" I asked again, louder.

He sighed.

"Ever since you met Brad!" he replied.

My hands tightened on the wheel.

"Why didn't you say anything before?" I asked quietly.

"How was I supposed to Rach?! I constantly ask you if your happy with Brad! I can hardly complain to you about it!" he told me, raising his voice.

"Well you could have mentioned it Niall! If I had've known I could have-" I began but he cut me off.

"Could have what? I told you how much I missed you.. I practically begged you to come visit on tour and you always came with some ridiculous excuse not to come see me!" he yelled, now obviously very mad.

I wasn't sure what to say.

Niall never yelled at me.

I felt my eyes fill up with tears.

A tear rolled down my cheek as the car pulled to a stop.

"You never said anything Niall! You cant just expect me to know exactly what you want! I don't read minds!" I shouted, despite the fact that I was now crying.

"All I want is for us to be the same as we were! I know theres something going on with you Rach and it kills me that you don't trust me enough to tell me what it is" he shouted back.

I sniffed loudly.

"I gotta go" I muttered, undoing the seatbelt quickly and getting out of the car.

I heard him yell my name but I walked away.

I went inside quickly, slamming the door behind me.

Sliding down against the door, I brought my knees up to my chest.

I full on sobbed into my knees for at least ten minutes.

Me and Niall never fought.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by loud footsteps making their way towards us.

I looked up quickly to see Brad standing in front of me smirking slightly.

"Trouble in paradise?"


Niall's P.O.V.

The drive back to the house seemed to take forever.

I felt awful leaving Rachel like that.

We never fought.

I never shouted at her.

I just wasn't sure how to handle this.

She had never kept anything from me before and it killed me inside knowing she didn't trust me.

When I got back to the house, it seemed eerily quiet.

I made my way to the kitchen.

Food would surely make me feel better.

I made myself a bowl of cereal and sat on the counter eating it.

I really had to sort this out.

I heard the front door open and Louis voice rang through the hall.

"Guys!" He yelled. "There's someone I want you to meet!"

I put my bowl of cereal down and hopped off of the counter.

I went to the living room to find Louis, Harry and Liam.

My eyes widened when I saw a girl, standing slightly behind Louis.

Zayn walked into the room behind me.

"Who's this Lou?" he asked.

"This is Chelsea.. She's my girlfriend" Louis replied, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Woah.. She's hot" Harry exclaimed quickly.

Louis chuckled.

"I know" he laughed.

Chelsea blushed.

"Hey I'm Niall..It's nice to meet you" I smiled at her.

"You too" she smiled back.

The other boys introduced themselves too.

After giving out about the fact that Louis didn't tell us he had a girlfriend, we decided to watch a bit of tv.

"Hey where's Rachel?" Zayn asked as we sat down on the couch.

"I dropped her home a while ago" I replied shrugging.

"WHAT?!" he yelled, jumping up off the couch.

"I dropped her home" I repeated.

Zayn ran his hands through his hair.

"Shit"
