ZAYN: You cried the entire way back to her house, you felt nauseous and light headed. You got out of the car and headed into the house, you knew you looked terrible, your nose red and running, your eyes red and puffy, make-up smeared down your face. "Why don't you go lay down in my bed for a while? I'll make you some tea and run to the store. " Your friend said. You didn't say anything, you just nodded slightly and padded off toward her bedroom. You crawled into her bed and laid there, thinking about Zayn, thinking about how he could do this to you. Didn't you make him happy? Weren't you good enough? You cried silently until you finally fell into a restless sleep. "[Y/N]?" You heard your friend whisper. You slowly opened your eyes and she smiled lightly at you, "What?" You croaked out, your voice cracked in and out of a whisper. "It's dinner time, I let you sleep for awhile... but I was wondering if you wanted anything to eat?" She asked softly. You nodded and slowly sat up, your head pounding with pressure, "Yeah, I'll meet you in the kitchen and help you." You whispered, holding your head. "Okay, take your time." Your friend said before getting up and heading out of the room. You grabbed your phone and paused, you had 15 missed calls from Zayn and over 20 text messages. You opened the texts and scrolled through them, each of them just a different way of apologizing. Sorry wasn't going to make up for what he did. You saw Zayn's face and name show up on your screen as he tried calling you again, when you looked at the picture of him smiling at you, you couldn't help but feel pain inside. You had taken the picture a couple weeks ago when you guys were hanging out with the boys, you couldn't help but wonder if he had been seeing her then. You hit end and turned off your phone, placing it down on the nightstand before you got up and headed into the kitchen. Your friend was looking through take-out menus and you smiled. You looked over them with her and you both decided on a pizza, she called it in and the two of you sat on the couch watching TV silently as you waited. When the pizza arrived you two had a movie night, but you couldn't seem to enjoy yourself. As hard as you tried to pay attention to the movie, you couldn't. When you laughed it felt fake, you sighed and stretched out across the couch, falling asleep as she continued to watch the movies. It felt like you had only slept a minute, but when you opened your eyes, the screen was playing a different movie quietly and your friend was no where to be seen. You were about to call her name, when you heard hushed whispers coming from the doorway, "I need to talk to her, I need to see her and explain." You could hear Zayn say, his voice sounded rough. "No, I'm sorry but I won't allow this. You should have talked to her this morning, and seen her this morning, instead of that other girl. You shouldn't have to explain anything, Zayn because you shouldn't have done anything like this in the first place." Your friend argued, you could hear the evident anger in her voice. "Please. I know I messed up, but I need her... I don't know what I would do without her." Zayn said sadly, you could swear he was crying. "Well I'm sorry, but you should have thought of that before. You're going to need to figure out what you would do without her, because I hate to break it to you, but you lost her." Your friend said, and you heard the door shut. You could hear your friend return to the living room and turn off the TV, she must have assumed you were still sleeping as you watched her disappear into the bedroom. You slowly got up off the couch and headed to her front door, you slipped on your shoes and stepped outside. You saw Zayn a little way down the road and you walked after him, when you were far enough away from your friends house, you called after him, "Zayn, wait." He stopped and turned around, you could see the shock on his face and how read his eyes were, you knew that he was crying as he came over to you, wrapping you in a hug. You squirmed out of it and backed away from him, "What did you need to explain to me?" you asked, avoiding eye contact.
LOUIS: You sat on the couch at her house bawling your eyes out for the next couple of hours, "I thought all those gifts were because he loved me, and he just wanted to treat me right..." You said through your sobs. Your friend stayed silent as she sat beside you, rubbing your back softly as you cried. "Why am I not good enough for him? What did I do wrong?" You continued. You heard a knock at the door and you tried to pull yourself together, you looked over at your friend and she got up slowly, and you followed behind her as the two of you headed to the door. When she opened it, Louis was there his eyes read as if he had been crying, his face soft but you couldn't stand to look at him. You turned around, more tears spilling out of your eyes as you began to head back to the couch, "[Y/N] wait," Louis' voice squeaked out. "No, Louis... just get out of here." Your friend said, pushing Louis back lightly as she tried to close the door. Louis stuck his foot in the way and she opened the door again, annoyed now. "[Y/N], love... please let me talk to you." Louis said, ignoring your friend as she stood in the door way, blocking his way into her home. You turned back around and looked at Louis, he looked hurt and broken... but so were you. He made you feel stupid and worthless... like you weren't enough. "Is it really worth all this Louis?" You whispered, watching as his eyes began to water. Louis knew how much pain he caused you, he could hear it in your voice and it broke his heart even more. "What do you mean?" he asked, trying to step toward you but your friend blocked him again. "Us, Louis. I mean us. Is it really worth all this? Trying to fix it... I mean, if I wasn't good enough before, why change your mind now?" You asked, tears spilling out of your eyes. "You are good enough, you always have been good enough. It's me, I'm the one who isn't good enough. I'm so sorry.... Please, I need you." Louis said, tears streaming down his own face now. You shook your head and looked down at your feet, "Louis... I don't know if this is going to workout between us, I tried so hard to make you happy and I did everything I could. Even that couldn't keep you with me. You have always been good enough for me, Lou. I don't know why you doubted that, but if I was good enough... you wouldn't have needed the other girl." You said, looking up at Louis as he shook his head, unable to deal with the words you were saying. "No, don't do this baby. No, no, no. I can fix this, you just have to let me explain, please... .please, let me explain." He begged, stepping closer. Your friend unsure what to do, let him through the doorway. "Explain what? There is nothing to explain Louis. You were with another girl! How can you explain that so that it makes sense? How am I supposed to understand and be okay with the fact that the person I am so madly and deeply in love with is off making out with other girls while I sit at home, thinking about him, and hoping he is okay, and loving him with every fibre in my body. How can you possibly explain that to me?" You asked, your voice raising as you began yelling at him. Your emotions taking full control of your body as you began crying. "I can't explain to you that it's okay, because it isn't. I know that, love. I know it's not okay. I fucked up so badly and I don't expect you to forgive me, but I beg that you try. I beg of you to please let me explain myself, let me try to fix this. Please, love... I can't live without you in my life." Louis begged, crying as he reached for your hands, taking them in his own. You stared up at him and you could see the pain in his eyes, you could feel it in your heart and you glanced at your best friend. Her own eyes filled with tears as she watched the two of you. "Louis... I don't thi-" "[Y/N], please... please just let me explain. Please don't make this the end, I can fix this you just have to give me the chance. I love you... I love you so much and I'm an idiot and I know that... but I need you.... Please." Louis whispered, giving your hands a tight squeeze. You slowly looked down at the ground, you took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay..." you whispered. Louis released a soft cry and glanced back at your friend. "I'll leave you two to talk," your friend said, putting on her shoes and leaving the house. You looked up at Louis and waited.
