"Shh," you hear. Two voices are whispering. You are backstage trying to find the restroom. You follow the voices. Something about it just doesn’t seem right. "Hello?" You call out. The voices stop. You round another corner searching around. There it is, lo and behold, the two people who the two voices belong to. You mouth falls agap as the two glance back at you with wide eyes in surprise and guilt. You turn quickly around to start walking away. Your pace picks up when you hear footsteps behind you and a voice calling your name. "(Y/N), stop!" He calls out. You raise your hand to cover your mouth when a sob comes out. You keep running; especially away from him. You’re a mess and he’s still running after you.
That is until you hit into something. You take a deep breath to calm yourself before looking up to apologize. “I-I’m s-sorry,” your voice shaking from the crying. “(Y/N), what’s wrong?” Unmistakably, it was the voice of your brother. The footsteps following you come to an abrupt stop. Niall changes his glance from you to Michael. He seems confused at first before realizing the situation. “What the hell did you do?!” His voice turns from worry to anger. You turn around quickly. Light footsteps soon fill the hallways. It’s her. It gives an even bigger clue as to what made you cry. “That’s messed up,” Niall spits out before grabbing Michael by the collar of his shirt. His hand raised in a fist. You know it’s wrong. You shouldn’t have done it.
You run up to your angry brother and grab his hand gently pulling it down. He notices. He shoves him away and turns to look at you with sorry eyes. “But why? He hurt you.” He states. You shake your head. “It’s not worth it,” you try to say with a strong voice. Although it falters Niall received your message. He cheated, beating the living crap out of him won’t do anything. It was over. The event couldn’t go back to being unseen. Between you two, the moment you told your brother to let it go, he knew it was over. You walked away calm without crying, the best you could and Niall walked away seething with anger, but nevertheless granted your wish.
