Taylor's Pov:

I slammed the door, not wanting to listen to him anymore. I should've known he was just an arrogant and selfish guy that only cared about him and popularity. Nothing less, nothing more. I hate him. I don't understand why he couldn't answer my question. Oh yeah...because he can't give me a valuable answer because it's true! Ugh, stupid tutoring sessions!

And the worse part is I know my mom won't let me ditch my part in the play because of my horrible grades! Well, isn't it a lovely day today? Keep in mind my sarcasm..

But again, I'm glad I have Josh. I really like being around Josh, he's like a brother to me actually. And I'm actually looking forward to going to that party. I'm pretty sure that will help me get my mind off some things and just chill and live a little. I've way too focused on school lately, I really need a break..

Finally I get to my house and walk in, to be met by my parents drinking coffee by the fire. Wow.

"Oh my gosh! Taylor! What happened to you?" My mom asked, walking over to me. I'm glad it was raining, otherwise she would've seen my tears.

"N-nothing. I was just at Niall's, but uh..I fell in the rain and hurt my foot so I came home." And because he's a jerk...

"Oh sweetie, let's get you changed and some ice." She said and I just nodded.

I went up to my room and heard someone walk in. Amber.

"Hey.." She said.

"Hi.." I said. I would've normally told her to get out, but for some reason I didn't.

 "Are you okay? You look like you've been crying. And don't say it was the rain cuz the rain doesn't make your eyes puffy." She said cleverly and I sighed.

"Yeah, I have." I admitted and she looked shocked, since it takes more than that to get me to admit something, but I really am not in the mood for arguing to be honest.

"Care to explain?" She asked me, sitting beside me on the bed.

"Niall. That's what's wrong. he's a selfish jerk that only cares about popularity! He's obviously been faking our friendship this whole entire time! He's completely ignores me whenever he's around Tina and his other friends!" I said, letting it all out. It felt so good to just let it all out and get that wight off my shoulders.

I really didn't care he wasn't my friend. I was mad at the fact that he would just act like a totally different person around the other popular people and ignored me!

"You want to know what I think...honestly?" She said and I just nodded.

"I'm pretty sure he hasn't been pretending. At first, we both know he looked like that type of guy, but he's over here all the time and you guys really get along, and I don't think he's that good of an actor. Maybe there's a reason why he's been acting so strange. Did you let him explain?" She said and my jaw was hanging open. 

Honestly, she freaking sounded like my mom! She's my younger sister, yet she knows how to handle this situation better than me and I'm older! I'm supposed to be the one who knows about these kind of things! I guess that's just an example about how much of a mess I am at the moment...

"Wow...and yeah. I let him explain and he didn't tell me! If we were really friends he would trust me! I'm telling you! He's a liar and a traitor!" I said, letting all my anger out once again.

"Taylor, I think you should get together and talk it out like mature people. Stop acting like a child and fix things! I swear sometimes I think I'm older than you!" She teases and I just playfully punch her arm.

"Thanks Amber, you really helped this time..." I said and she just laughed and hugged me.

"OK, now we both need to change cuz you got me all wet!" She mumbles and I just giggle.

She walks out the room and I change into some comfy pyjamas.

***

"Mom, it's okay. I just need some ice." I try telling my mom.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" She asks and I just sigh in desperation.

"Yes! I'm fine! Don't worry." I say and she just nods.

"Fine, fine. But if it starts hurting more tell me!" She warns and I just smile,

"Yes mom. I know." I say and she walks away. 

I continue to drink my hot chocolate when I feel my butt vibrate. 

I pull out my phone out of my pocket and look at the screen.

From: Niall

Hey Taylor, I'm sorry about today afternoon. I really want to talk things out, text me when u see this...If u want to, idk. I'm sorry. And I hope your foot feels better :(

I decide to reply after, but I'll read Josh's first.

From: Joshthehottesguyever:)

Yeah, I know. He put that name, and he told me he would change my password if I changed the name so it stayed like that...

Hey Tay! hehe i love saying that...it rhymes.. Anyways back to the point! I hope ur foot is feeling better! I'm on my way with some chocolate and ice cream! ;)

I smiled at how my best friend could light up my day just by texting me that. I really do love ice cream.

I love Josh. He is literally like my brother from another mother. He knows how to light up my day, he really does.

To: Joshthehottestguyever:)

Awh. Thanx Josh! U really know how to get me in a good mood :)

Sent.

Now I have to reply to Niall...

To: Niall

There is nothing to talk about. I said not to worry about it Niall. I have Josh and I'm perfectly fine with that. Bye.

I typed and my finger didn't want to push the send button. I had the feeling part of me really did want to know what Niall had on his mind. I knew I didn't really explain right, but he didn't exactly want to tell me either, so I don't know why he wants to talk so bad. But then there is the other part of me that just wants to push him away and punch him in the face. All I did to him was help him and what did he do in return? Oh yeah. Ignore me. He was embarrassed to be seen with me and his girlfriend hates me! Why would I give him a chance? I have absolutely no reason to give him a chance at all! I didn't want to be his friend in the first place! Ugh. I really need to stop thinking about this so much.

Sent.

Good.

*Ding*

Yay! It's Josh!

Wait. Oh no. What if he-

"Are you crying Taylor?" Josh asked.

I guess I can't go back in time. How could I realize I wasn't crying?! I really need to stop doing that...

I quickly wi[ed away my tears and came back to earth.

"Oh, no. I just had something in my eye..." I lied.

"Oh, so that's why BOTH of your eyes are red and puffy and your voice doesn't sound ike you've been crying at all..." He said sarcastically with that sexy half smirk that guys do. I can't really say Josh isn't hot, because honestly...he is. He's rather attractive, but I don't see him as more than a friend. Just a brother.

"Fine, yes I was. But it doesn't matter. Let's just eat the ice cream." I said, trying to change the subject.

"Of course it matters Taylor! What happened? You know you can tell me anything. Come on, tell me." He said, while lying on the couch and hugging me. 

Honestly, I don't like saying this, but I've never been able to decide whether I like Niall's or Josh's hugs better. I know it's weird to think about which one is better, but they are both just so cuddly and stuff...ugh, I seriously need to stop thinking about such random things.

"Well, I got in a fight with Niall and he said he wants to talk things out, but I don't see that there is to talk about. I don't want anything to do with him." I said and he just nodded, letting me know he understood.

"I guess you're right. He didn't tell you when you gave him the chance, so know he lost an amzing friend. You really are amazing Taylor, honestly." He said, smiling down at me, holding me tighter and I smiled back at him. I knew every single word he had said to me was honest.

"You're amazing too Josh. And thanks for being my friend when no one else wanted to." I said and he smiled at me with sad eyes.

"Those people are stupid. They just judge you because...I really don't know! You're so nice and funny and a million other positive adjectives that would take me forever to say!" He joked and I just laughed at my crazy best friend.

"Haha. Thanks Josh. Really, thanks. You're an amazing best friend." I said hugging him, not wanting to ever let him go because he was truly the only person who has really been there for me lately. And I really couldn't ask for a better friend than him.

Niall's Pov:

After I got Taylor's text my heart sank. I can't believe she's not giving me another chance to explain. Ugh! I hate Tina! She's just ruining my friendship with Taylor, actually no. She already DID ruin my friendship with Taylor, and it's all my fault. I should've told Taylor when she was back at my house and I missed my chance. I'm so stupid. So freaking stupid!

"Niall!" I heard my mom call from downstairs.

"What?" I asked.

"Dinner is ready!" She said and I just groaned.

"I'm not hungry!" I yelled and I could already hear her come up to my room. I saw it coming though...

She came in and sat down on my bed next to me. I turned to look at her and she had concern written all over her.

"Niall, I know something is wrong."

"No there is not." I said and she just gave me a look.

"You're not hungry! Of course there is something wrong." She said and I just sighed.

"Nothing mom, I just had a bad day. That's all." I lied...well it was technically the truth, but being the om that she is she didn't let it go.

"Niall, you've been kind of down lately. What's wrong?" She asked me and I just shrugged.

Tina is being a bum, Taylor doesn't want anything to do with me anymore and my grades are going down again and I totally forgot the Romeo and Juliet play was next week! That's what's wrong! But no, instead I said something else.

"I just got in an argument with Tina, but it's okay." I lied because I was anything but.

"Alright, but if you need anything you can tell me okay?" She said and I just sent her a smile.

She smiled and walked out of the room.

Ugh. I really don't know why this is stressing me out so much. I hadn't even talked to Taylor a few months ago and now I can't get over the fact she doesn't to be my friend.  And I know it's not just my ego or anything. I was really starting to believe she actually liked me as a friend and I was actually starting to like her. She's just really different. All the girls Tina is friends with are basically sluts and stuck up, while Taylor is just really calm, ut can get crazy and funny once you get to know her. And i have the feeling I'm one of the few people that got to know that part of her and now I lost my chance. The chance of having such an amazing friend. 

Josh is really lucky to be friends with her. He really is. And I want to keep this friendship and I'm going to do something about it...

I need to fix things. And I now exactly what I'm going to do.
