Bree’s POV

The next day I have the place to myself. Emily’s working and so are her parents, and her brothers are in school. I feel bad for them because school is a pain in the butt.

I enjoy being by myself, but this house is too big for me. I’m still enjoying it though since it’s only for today. I can listen to music with the volume all the way up. I can sing at the top of my lungs even though I’m a horrible singer. I can dance and nobody will say anything because I’m by myself. It’s great, really.

As I step outside the bathroom singing to We Are Who We Are by Little Mix, I hear my phone ringing. I quickly put the volume down and hurry to answer the phone without even looking at the caller I.D.

“Hello?”

“Hi,” the voice says, and like that I huge smile appears on my face.

“Hi, Niall,” I reply. “How are you?”

“Bree, we need to talk,” He answers.

“About what?” I ask, confused.

“Don’t give me that shit, you know exactly what we need to talk about,” He snaps, and at this my eyes widen. What’s his problem?

“Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about?” I snap back. Who does he think he is to talk to me like that?

“I saw the pictures, okay? I know you were at the beach yesterday with that guy,” He briefly explains.

“What guy?” I ask, strting to get frustrated. “First of all, I went with all of my friends,” I say.

“Well, that was not what the picture showed,” He replies.

“Ok, what pictures are you talking about? I didn’t upload anything to the internet and neither did Em—”

“Jesus, why do you have to be so distracted all the fucking time?!” He exclaims. “You were fucking followed! There are pictures of you all over the internet, saying that you were with this guy at the beach. They’re even saying that you’re cheating on me because you looked so friendly and flirty with him,” He explains more clearly this time.

“What?” I ask, not wanting to believe a single thing of what he was saying. How could people think that? And why do they even follow me? I’m not famous. Yeah, but you’re dating one of the members of the biggest boy bands on the planet, my subconscious reminds me. I immediately go on to twitter and see that my mentions are blowing up. Most of them are hate comments, reminding me that i’m not good enough for Niall, but I’m grateful for people that really understand and that say that media is exaggerating everything, which they are.

“Niall, I didn’t went alone with him,” I say after I read one of the many articles. “I went with Emily and a bunch of other people,” I explain. “I just happened to be caught when I was alone with him while the oth—”

“Bree, just save it,” He interrupts me, and I know he’s getting mad.

“But Nia—”

“I know who he is, okay?” He interrupts once again. “I know his name is Matt, I know you had a crush on him, and I’ve met the guy that day I met you at the mall. I thought you were gonna stay away from him!” He exclaims.

“And I did!” I reply. “All this time, I did!” I say. “Until yesterday,” I add quietly.

“So what? Now that you’re finally friends with him again are you gonna leave me and date him instead? I bet you still have a crush on him after all this time,” He says, and I swear he is getting me mad. Why does he has to be so stubborn? And what the hell is up with his insecurity. We’ve talked about this a million times. I love him and I would never leave him.

“Niall, can you please listen to what you’re saying,” I say. “You’re being ridiculous, and if you just let me explain—”

“Stop,” He says. “Just save it. I don’t want to hear your lame excuses. You had a whole day to think of what you were going to say, so I’m not going to beli—”

“Please listen to yourself!” I interrupt. “Stop being so ridiculous!” I shout. “He has a girlfriend, okay. And I do not, I repeat, I do not have a crush on—”

He scoffs, interrupting me. “Please,” He says.

“Oh my God, Niall, stop with your insecurities! It’s cute at one point, but now you’re being completely ridiculous and annoying!” I raise my voice. “So what? You’re gonna dump me? Has that time already come? Because I don’t see you ever letting me explain what happened, so how are we gonna solve this?” I ask. It breaks my heart asking him that. I don’t want him to leave me. Ever. But he’s being so stubborn and I can’t stand it anymore.

“I need time to think,” He says quietly.

“Whatever,” I say, rolling my eyes. He was about to say something, but I was tired of fighting with him so I just hung up on him. It would probably make him madder, or maybe realize the stupid things he’s doing. Let’s hope it’s the latter.

As I throw my phone on the bed, I go back to twitter and try to clear all these rumors.

All those articles about me are talking shit. I went to the beach with ALL of my friends, and I would never ever cheat on Niall.

Once I click ‘Tweet’ I see how it appears on my timeline now. As soon as that it’s done, my mentions start to blow up. This is absolutely mental.

Now people are saying that I’m lying and they still think I’m not good enough for Niall. At this point, I can only roll my eyes. I’m so so thankful for the people that really believe me and understand this situation.

For everyone who understands, thank you so much. I love you all.

I click ‘Tweet’ again and then continue reading my mentions. There is one that really calls my attention though.

“It doesn’t make sense that you all are sending hate to @Bree_Williams when Niall was obviously doing the same thing.”

And attached to the tweet was a link, so I don’t hesitate and click it. As the page loads, I think on how weird it is that some One Direction fans are sticking up to me. I’m surprised.

Once the page is loaded, I scroll down and stop when I see a big picture of Niall with another girl. They’re walking on the sidewalk of who knows of what street and they look really happy. It seems like he told her something and made her laugh.

As I read the article, I learn that her name is Amy Green and that they know each other because of some video she filmed with the boys. As I keep reading though, I become really really jelous. I know there must be an explanation to this because I know Niall wouldn’t cheat on me. I don’t even know why I’m jealous, I guess it’s normal in relationships, but I see it completely unfair that Niall is giving me shit about me hanging out with my friend when he’s doing the exact same thing. When I think of it, me jealousy completely disappears and it’s replaced with anger. So much anger that I call Niall just to give him a little taste of his medicine.

“Hello?” He answers.

“Amy Green, huh?” I say.

“Bree…” He trails off, but before he can continue, I interrupt him.

“Don’t even bother,” I say. “I know who she is, I know you’ve been hanging out with her and that you are really close friends,” I add, making sure that I use some of the sentences that he used on me. “But tell me, how really close you are with her?”

“Bree, let me—”

“Do not even say the word explain,” I say. “Of course I will not let you explain. You had a whole day to think of what you were gonna say, and I’m not gonna believe your lame excuses,” I repeat exactly what he told me.

“But—”

“Is this what you needed to think about? How were you gonna tell me that you don’t wanna see me anymore? How were you gonna dump me so you could date her instead?” I say. “You’re such an idiot, Niall,” I add. “Bye,” I say, and quickly hung up before he could stop me.

I hope this makes him realize how stupid he was on calling me and starting a fight with me when he was doing the same thing. And his case was even worse, because I know he was alone with her. I know that he would never cheat on me – and thanks God he didn’t believe that article that said that I was cheating on him – but I still get a little jealous. It was difficult for me to say all those things, but he needs to realize how annoying and stupid he was being. And I’m still so mad at him, so I don’t regret saying them.

I just hope we can sort this out. It would kill me to break up with Niall, and I’m just hoping that it would kill him too. He has helped me so much during this past month and he’s literally a part of me. A part of me that I really can’t live without.
