Zayn-

You and me; we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can’t believe you let me down
But the proof’s in the way it hurts

You remember every single damn word he had said that day. He promised you forever; together forever. You believed him. It was your mistake. You watch as he gives her one last kiss before leaving. You are hurt, angry, the list could go on and on. The emotions that are pulsing through your veins. You wish you hadn’t seen it. You’d rather him tell you. He walks down the pathway towards the lot. This place is secluded, no wonder why. You follow him. You couldn’t stop the tears from escaping. They have already beat you to it and start running down your cheeks. When the crying gets worse, a sob escapes. He stops. You place your hand on your mouth to try and quiet the sobs. You watch as he slowly turns around. “You lied,” you cry. All he does is stand there with guilt written in his face. “I,” you stopped mid sentence when a hiccup from the crying stops you. “I believed you.” He walks up to you and places a hand on your cheek. “And I meant every word.” You turn your face from his grasp. “Then why’d you do it? Remember? You promised. You promised in front of everyone that day. My family, your family, and even our friends.” You could only watch him as he glances at the band wrapped around his ring finger. He then glances at your ring finger. A band wrapped around it as well. He had placed it there and now it had no meaning of the words he has promised, only lies.

Liam-
For months on end I’ve had my doubts
Denying every tear;
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here

He wouldn’t. Your friend had told your months ago. You just didn’t believe it. You would never believe it. When she first told you, you cried. You cried the entire week. The only thing that probably stopped you was you had run out of tears to cry with. You cried until no more tears could fall. You made sure not to cry when he was around. Now months later, the thought had almost disappeared from your head. Almost; that’s the problem. You told yourself, he’d never. That’s not the Liam you know. That would never be the sweet loving boyfriend you have. Today, you saw it with your own eyes. You watched as he kissed her with the lips that kissed you just this morning. Not one tear has slipped today, even after see what your saw. It was evident. You just couldn’t bring yourself to believe it. Your mind was telling you the truth of what you had seen and your heart was trying to make up a lie to push the truth away. You wish it never happened. He never cheated. You never saw. The only thing making you hold longer was your undying love for him. You just couldn’t let him, the relationship, what you have go… and you knew it was stupid to hold on.

Harry-
You say I’m crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I’m not the only one

“Harry, you’d never cheat on me right?” You grab his hands and give them a quick squeeze. You see guilt flash on his eyes before he quickly brings a smile on his lips. “You are crazy, why would you ever think that?” He answers softly. You shake your head. “I’ve just been thinking a lot lately. I just have a lot on my mind.” You say. He leans towards you and places a gentle kiss on your lips. “I would never hurt you; especially that way.” He looks as if he was trying to convince himself more than you. His eyes hold the guilt and you know it. “I believe you,” You lie. He isn’t the only telling lies today. You hear his phone vibrate on the table. He reaches over to grab it. When he checks, you notice the guilt in his eyes grow more. It’s her. She’s calling. He only says a simple “okay” before hanging up. “Baby, I’ve got to go. I’ll see you later, okay?” He gets up from his seat and rushes towards the door. “I’m not the only one, right?” You mutter. “W-what?” He stutters. “You’re going to see her, I assume?” You raise your voice so he can hear you clearly. The guilt finally covers his entire face. You’ve caught him. 

Louis-
You’ve been so unavailable 
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable 
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

“Let’s go out tonight,” You smile. “Why?” He asks. “It’s been so long since our last date. We should have some time to ourselves. Besides you’ve been so busy lately with the band,” You comment. “We don’t need it, we have time now. Let’s just stay home.” He tries to let you down easily. His phone suddenly rings. “Hello?” He picks it up. “Okay, I’ll be right there,” He answers quickly. Then he hangs up. “Who’s that?” You question. “The guys, I have to go to the studio,” He answers quickly. He gets up and walks towards the door. You catch up and grab his arm. “Promise me you’ll try to come home early?” You ask. Every time he went out he always came home late, sometimes he didn’t come back till the next day. He smiles. “Of course.” A smile rises on your lips as well. He gives you a quick kiss before leaving. You decide to go out to grab a couple things. It is going to be your night together so you want to have everything nice and ready. Dinner is, of course, your plan. You have to make it quick so it’d be ready when he comes home. You end up, instead of buying what you needed, buying a ton. As you shop down the aisle, you grab a cereal box and just before placing it in your cart, you see it. So that’s why he was always so busy? You feel your heart drop down to your stomach; not in a good way. He had your heart, but you didn’t have his? The box drops from your hand. When it hits the ground, he glances up to see what happened. He’s been caught.

Niall-
I have loved you for many years 
Maybe I am just not enough 
You’ve made me realize my deepest fear 
By lying and tearing us up

Numerous thoughts are running through your head at the scene you just witnessed. Am I not enough? Am I a bad girlfriend? Is that why? Those thoughts are running through your mind. You always knew you weren’t enough for him. It’s was your biggest fear. You wouldn’t be enough and he would leave you for someone else. This is worse. He didn’t leave you, he was seeing someone else behind your back. That made your insecurities rise even more. You must be the reason. You’re sitting on the sofa in your flat waiting for his arrival home. You had made your decision and it was final. When you hear the locks click, you know he’s home. He walks in and places a kiss on your cheek. “Hey babe.” You look up at him. “We need to talk.” Guilt flashes in his eyes. “The nights when you say you’re going out, I know you were with her,” You start. He sighs. “But why?” You cry. You falter instead of staying strong like you wanted; you break down. “Was it because I wasn’t enough? I’m not good enough for you? It’s my fault you cheated.” The tears escape and your tone had fallen weak. You have exposed your insecurity in this relationship to him. It was a mistake. You shouldn’t have. Now you couldn’t stop as many other why’s fall from your lips. He knows he was the cause of this and he couldn’t do anything, but hold you in your state of weakness and continuously whisper you are perfect, you are enough, and it was his fault not yours. And you let him.
