Niall’s view:
I have no doubt in my mind that was her. She is always crying when I see her. I wonder why. I reached Justin’s hotel and entered. Selena was asleep in my bed and I had nothing better to do but finalize things with this kid. He was taking someone I wanted to know so I was going to need to set things straight. That sounds bad; at least he can talk to her. I'm such a baby I can't even have a decent talk with her; given every time I have tried or seen her she has been crying. I walked right to his hotel room and knocked. No answer. I just about hit it again when the door opened. He was on the phone but let me in. I took a seat on the couch and waited.
“Horan just got here. I'll talk to you tomorrow, no rehearsal just you me and some food.” He smiled and listened. The phone call ended and he was attentive to me. “Sorry I didn't pick up your calls. I was busy and it was a bad time.” He apologized.
“I'm assuming you were with Izallouis Rae.” I was here for business not chats.
“Not you too! I swear there is nothing going on! I keep getting calls from people and I don’t know how to stop this from getting out.” He wasn’t with her??
“So you're not with her??” I sighed a bit but it went unnoticed by Justin.
“No, she is teaching us the coolest choreography for my upcoming tour. I thought I told you I want Selena back.” He looked at me with a raised brow.
“About that she is at my house sleeping. You need to talk to her because she thinks you are with this other girl.” I was feeling a lot better about this because Justin would be my way in. I could talk to her through him.
“Why is she at your house??” Justin gave me a pretty shitty look.
“She didn’t know if you wanted to talk to her. We stopped by here and you were gone. I let her come back to my place and she just passed out.”
“I had a late rehearsal because Iz called for one. We kind of have to work on her schedule but it's no big deal. Do you think Selena would believe me if I told her nothing was going on between Iz and me??” He looked at me with pleading eyes.
“She misses you but that might take some convincing.” I wasn’t going to lie to a great friend of mine.
“Niall, I need your help with this.”
“Look, I have my own problems just come back to my house with me and talk to her. I will give you guy’s space so you can fight, yell, and then kiss it out.” I stood up.
“What if it doesn’t work??” He was psyched out.
“Just kiss her when it starts to fail.” I laughed. If only I could grab Izallouis and kiss her to make her fall madly in love with me. That would be great.
“I wasn’t kidding when I told you, you would love Iz. She is funny and everyone knows she is a great dancer. She almost reminds me of the American girl version of you.” He chuckled.
“Well I have yet to meet her properly.” I said closing the door behind us.
“If I get back with Selena I will owe it to you to meet her.” He said walking straight down the hallway.
“I'm good. I'm doing this for you.” Am I an idiot?? He offered me exactly what I wanted. Why would I have said no??
“Are you sure??” He looked back at me.
“Yeah.” No, I want that more than anything!
“Ok.” He was skeptical. The walk out was silence and there weren’t any paps. They must have taken the night off tonight. We walked with ease to the car. “I can't believe you thought I liked her.”
“Well in that picture you did seem pretty cozy.” I tried to joke but my humour was dry.
“That picture wasn’t supposed to get out. I mean paps do what they can to get the most absurd things out. She was cleaning my lip up after her friend Mary attacked me and she kissed my cheek. The angle looks like it was on my lips but it wasn’t.” He sounded genuine.
“Well Selena is going to want to hear that. Not me.” I loved hearing that! It made me feel so good.
“Besides she's really young.” Justin shot in as we pulled up.
“Like how young??” I asked getting out. He met me at the front of the car and continued to walk to the door with me.
“She’s only 15.”
“Whoa!” I'm 19 and she is 15. This could be one problem. A very big problem.
“You sound shocked and kind of let down.” Justin said as I unlocked the door. I opened it and looked around. Louis was home because his things were at the door.
“I thought she would be older. She looks older.” I stated.
“She acts older too!” Justin added in. Louis came down stairs and looked mad at me.
“Did you sleep with Selena?? What is she doing in your bed?? How is Justin –”
“It's fine Louis. Niall and I have talked about it.” Justin calmed Louis down.
“Just looking out for you. It's an odd thing coming into your room to talk to you and seeing Selena there.” Louis chuckled giving a nod to Justin.
“Well, Justin you know where she is, I'll let you two work it out.” Justin started walking up the stairs when I thought about something. “No sex in my bed. Take her to the spare room.” I called up to him.
“So as I was saying, we need to talk.” Louis took me outback to the patio. It was brick and had squares with plants. We sat at the large glass table to talk. “This Izallouis girl.” He started. “I know you like her.”
“I don’t like –”
“Harry told me.” He interrupted my famous lie. “Just talk to her.” He said. He didn’t continue talking and I was waiting. After a few minutes he stood up. “That’s it.” He said.
“No lecture??” I asked.
“No, you just need to talk to her. There is nothing special about it. If you don’t know her and like her then there is something that is appealing about her so you might as well go for it.”
“I wish it was that easy.” I scoffed.
“What's the problem??” He asked sitting down again ready to gossip.
“She is 15.”
“Ooh.” He let it slide into silence.
“Well??” I asked.
“I mean if you're into that…” He said.
“Really Louis!” I laughed. It was a funny joke and I laugh at everything. Well mostly everything but that was just wrong.
“Look, if you didn’t know her age, like at the VMA’s, and you still had some feelings for her then what’s changed??” Louis had a point.
“Well that law hasn’t.” I said matter of fact.
“So wait three years.” He shrugged.
“What if someone else gets to her??” I asked.
“Then it really wasn’t in your stars to date this chick.” He then got up and fully left. I pulled out my phone and clicked twitter. I had a lot going on but none of it was about any drama. Most of it was “follow me” and “RT me”. I wanted to see what was trending and I was mad because it was all about Justin and Izallouis dating. I clicked on one of the hash tags and read about how everyone wants them to date. People were saying things along the lines of how cute they would be and some people were talking about their kids already. This wasn’t ok. It hurt.
“Hey!” Justin popped up behind me.
“Hey…” I trailed my voice off. I held my phone down so he couldn’t see the twitter feed.
“Well Selena is going back with me to my place.”
“It went that well??” I asked standing up.
“I guess. I owe you.” He said smiling and hugging me. I locked my phone and stuck it into my pocket.
“Anytime.” I said and walked with him into the house. Selena was probably already headed to the car so I accepted the fact there wasn’t going to be a goodbye from her.
“I need to go, though, because Selena really hasn’t fully gotten the whole story on Iz so I'm sure there will be more to explain and fight over.” Justin bro hugged me and then left without further due.
“You are something else Horan. You know that??” Louis asked coming downstairs.
“Why??” I asked looking at him peculiarly.
“You always help others first without thinking of anything in return.”
“Is that a good or bad thing??” I chuckled.
“It's a great thing but one day it's going to bite you in the ass. That day is now.” Louis patted my back.
“I guess I'll have to talk to her on my own now.” I shook my head and slumped up the stairs to bed.
