☠EDITED☠

New update! This chapter will probably be way longer than most. Enjoy!

Recap:

Just get it over with.

I sigh as I knock on the door. It opens, Niall peaking out. "Cassie?" He whispers.

"Yes, Niall. It's me, we need to talk." I explain.

Cassie's POV:

"Um, come in." He says, nervously.

"I wasn't going to ask." I glare, walking past him into his room.

He sighs loudly, "Look, Cassie..."

"Don't." I stop him, turning around. "I know why you did it. But, was it really worth it, risking our friendship? For what, an arrogant asshole? And, why didn't you just tell me? You harassed me for days on end, especially when I was on the verge of snapping."

Silence. I look up to meet Niall's eyes, and see tears.

Tears are pouring out of his eyes. "Niall?" I whisper.

"I-I'm so sorry, Cassie! I-I was jealous! I'm sorry!" He sobs.

I bite my lip, "Okay, I'm sorry, too. I just got so angry..."

"Don't you dare apologize to me!" He says, angrily.

"W-Why not?"

"I did wrong, not you. You have every right to be angry. You have every right not to forgive me!" He explains.

My mom always used to say, forgive them; or you're just as wrong as them.

She didn't really mean I was as bad, but she meant that you needed to learn to forgive. No matter how bad.

Tears surface to my eyes, "But, I do forgive you, Niall. We've all done wrong in this life. I'm not going to hold this against you. You're a good guy, who got caught up in a web of jealousy. But, why Zayn? What's so special about him?"

"I-I don't know. The way he looked at you..I wanted to be looked at like that. And, the fact that you were so oblivious! He adores you, he might not show it in the right way, but he does. He looks at you like you're his world. And, I adorded that about him. I know, he's not the best guy. He is in darkness. But, he just needs light to lead him out. And, you...you Cassie, are his light."

My mouth forms in an 'o' shape. "What makes you think he loves me? I'm nothing special at all. I'm ordinary..."

"That's where you're wrong, Cassie. You're more than ordinary. You're unique, you aren't like the other girls. Your innocence, your purity...it's perfect."

"Oh," That's all I can manage to say. "But, I have so many flaws!"

"I like flaws, I think they make things more interesting." He smiles.

I growl, "I'm not going with Zayn! He's evil! It's unforgiveable what he has done!"

He shakes his head, smiling. "Didn't you say we've all done wrong in this life?"

"Well..."

He smirks, "Change him, Cassie. Make him a better man."

"I can't change him, he's too evil. Too far into dark for me to get him. He is darkness. It consmed him a long time ago. And, I can't help him."

"No matter how dark he is, love and hope are always possible." He reasons.

"So, I should forgive him?" I ask.

"Exactly. Make him believe he has a chance, so he'll change for good. Do good for him."

I smile, "Niall, shut up."

He laughs, "Go to him."

"One more question, Niall."

He nods, "Go ahead."

"Why did you give me the knife? To kill myself..."

"What the hell are you talking about, Cassie? I never gave you a knife..."

"Oh."

*Zayn's room*

"Ma'am, you can't go in there! We'll do anything nessacary to stop you!" A guard, warns.

"Fuck off!" I growl.

He fast walks toward me, but he's too late. I throw open the door, and see Zayn's eyes widen as he pauses his show.

"Cassie?"

Two arms wrap around me, "Get off me!"

The guard looks at Zayn, "What should I do with her?"

"Let her go. I want to see what she has to say."

"But, sir-"

Zayn raises a hand, "Leave."

The guard bites his lip, but leaves. "So, what is it, Cassie?"

"Um..."

"Spit it out!"

"I forgive you."
