Chapter 16: A Good Day Ends Badly
Leila's P.O.V.
Just before the movie ends, Madison arrives back home, carrying what looks like bags upon bags of clothes.
“Shopping spree?” I ask her with raised eyebrows, looking up at her from my spot on the couch.
“Yeah, didn’t mean to get so overloaded, but you know how it goes,” Madison answers, disappearing into her bedroom to put them away.
“I’ll never understand,” Niall admits from right next to me, his arm draped around my shoulders. I laugh and roll my eyes.
“Of course you won’t,” I say. Madison comes back out and settles herself down on the couch next to me.
“So what are we watching?” she questions.
“It’s almost over,” I tell her, just as the credits begin to roll.
“Looks over to me,” she replies sarcastically, smiling. Niall gets up and releases me from our cuddle, stretching his arms over his head.
“Hey, Madison, could I talk to you, alone, for a second?” he asks. Madison and I exchange glances as we’re both not sure why he would want to talk to her alone. Madison obeys and they enter her bedroom. I stand up from the couch and walk into the kitchen to get something to drink.
A few minutes later, they emerge from her room and I look at them confused. They look at each other first before Madison speaks.
“We are going to give you the best night ever!” she exclaims, grinning at me and gesturing with her arms.
“Okay,” I agree, still looking at them confused.
“Look, Niall told me what all happened last night and today, so we’ve decided to entertain you with all sorts of stuff tonight,” Madison explains.
“Oh,” I reply, looking down and shuffling my feet. They don’t have to do this. I’m fine, really.
“Come on, Lei, please? We’re going to start with some Just Dance, I know you love that game,” Niall begs.
I sigh and smile as I realize that my friends are only trying to help me. And who knows? This might actually be fun.
They were right; they did make this a night I would never forget. We began by playing video games and at first, I knew they were trying to let me win, but towards the end I beat them even though they weren’t going easy. Then they introduced a new card game to me, Cards Against Humanity. It’s like Apples To Apples, but a bigger, grown-up version of it. The answers we had were hilarious and it felt good to laugh again, just like I was during the movie a few hours ago. And finally, we ended with another comedy movie that had us laughing our heads off.
The movie ends and it’s not too late, but Niall’s got to go home since he’s been with me for almost more than 24 hours. We say goodbye and part ways, even though I know he’s going to text me pretty much until I fall asleep. Madison and I talk for a little bit before heading to bed, tired from all the fun we’ve had, and my phone buzzes with a text from none other than Niall. As I get ready to sleep, my mind is in la-la-land as my head is full of images of Niall. I fall on my bed and close my eyes, too tired to reply back to his message, but I start to imagine different scenarios with Niall and I’m instantly asleep.
The next day is another lazy day. Instead of being cooped up inside our apartment, Madison and I decide to take a walk outside and get some fresh air. One little girl recognizes me from somewhere and asks for my autograph, which I oblige, but after I finish, Madison and I look at each other with surprise.
“Girl, you’re famous!” Madison comments
“How? Deep Secrets hasn’t even come out yet!” I retort.
“Well, your relationship is out,” she points out. “I did see a One Direction bracelet on her arm.”
“Are you serious?” I gape.
“I’m definitely not joking,” she replies, and we continue on our walk and head back to the apartment.
After we get inside, I immediately go on my phone to check and it doesn’t lie to me. Everywhere I search, the news about Niall and I have gone public. Last week, there was a rumor about us, but Niall fixed it up, so I’m confused. I check Niall’s twitter, but he hasn’t said anything about it, so I know it can’t be him who leaked it. I wrack my brains to try and figure out who.
I’m so stupid. Of course it was Spencer. I told her at the party when she was wasted and she almost threw up on me. I can’t believe I even admitted it to her; I thought she wasn’t even going to remember! Of course she’s going to remember something like that. I’m a complete idiot.
I check her Twitter, surprised I actually thought of that. We’re not following each other and probably never will, and I just guessed at what her username is, but she’s verified so it wasn’t hard to find.
Her last tweet boils my anger into something I’ve never known I was capable of.
My costar is such a bitch! She’s a traitor and stole the guy I’ve loved for years and she just met him! I even told her I love him!
I throw my phone into the couch as the tears swell up. I take a pillow on the couch and shove my face and scream into it. Madison rushes out of her bedroom and I nod at my phone on the couch. She picks it up and stares at the screen, her eyes widening in shock. She sets my phone down and hugs me tight, not saying a word. She doesn’t push me to say anything, which I’m glad because I don’t feel like talking. She just tells me that she’ll be in her bedroom if I need her, and I nod, watching her disappear. I take my phone and head into my bedroom.
I’m beginning to fear tomorrow. We start another week of an episode tomorrow and I’m scared of what Spencer’s going to do. She’s going to have to accept that Niall doesn’t want her, but she’s choosing later instead of now. What have I gotten myself into?
