Dibs *IN EDITING

Chapter 17

“Okay family meeting time!” Louis yelled. Family? If we are family and we are dating, than that’s insest. Ew!

“So, Liam, how are you holding up?” Zayn asked.

“Um. I don’t know how honest I can be here. I’m afraid of being duct taped and hit with a bat again.” I said. I shuddered at that memory, it was pure torture.

“We promise to not do that if you be honest. We can’t promise for the future, but as of now, your balls are safe.” Kelsey said.

“I want to get Annie back. I really do love her.”

“Then why did you cheat on her? Did you know that she was afraid of falling in love after Chris, but did anyway because she thought you were worth it?” Leila asked.

“I-I-I needed a distraction. I thought that she didn’t love me back since she didn’t put up a fight at the recording studio.” I answered. She was afraid of love? That arsehole needs to be taught a lesson.

“Bro, you fucked up big time” Zayn added. No dip! We all know this.

“How do I get her back?” I asked, looking specifically at the girls.

“I’d love to give you the answer, but I don’t think she’ll come back. Chris cheated on her too. After that, she swore to never go back to a cheater.” Leila answered. I started crying. There may be no hope for us. I miss the feel of her in my arms, how it feels to have our hands intertwined, to hear her say my name. I miss everything about her.

“I have to go guys, I also have a date!” Emma squealed getting up to leave.

“You have a boyfriend?” Niall asked. He looked like he was going to start crying right there on the floor.

“Yea, Justin.” She smiled, the thought of him lighting up her eyes.

“Douche.” Niall mumbled underneath is breath. She didn’t hear him and left. He started crying.

“WHOA. Who made Niall cry?!” Leila asked.

“She doesn’t want me, no one does. Maybe they’re right; I don’t deserve to be in the band.” Niall sobbed.

“Okay. Niall, I love you. Do you know that? I’ve been telling Annie for years that if Zayn didn’t want me, I’d date the crap out of you and we’d be getting fat together.” Leila giggled. “Don’t listen to the haters. All that matters is the fans that love you. You don’t even want to know how many girls have written fan fictions about getting into your pants.” Niall managed a laugh after that.

“NIALL I’LL MARRY YOU!” Kelsey yelled. Louis pouted. He has a massive crush on Kelsey.

“Niall, don’t accept the offer. What about Niam? Are you going to end Niam?” I asked. He was fully laughing now.

~~~~~~AFTER ANNIE’S DATE~~~~

*ANNIE’S POV*

I walked in to everyone chilling, minus Emma. She’s probably out with Justin again. “Hello people that I love!” I shouted, entering the living room. I walked over and sat on Harry’s lap.

“Hey babe.” I said and sat in his lap. Only the girls know about us liking each other. Liam was glaring at us. Screw him! He was the one who fucked everything up, not me!

“How was the fake date?” Harry asked, looking down at me.

“Good. We walked around, held hands, romance stuff. Ed’s a good guy, but I can tell he likes someone else.” I said, reassuring him that I didn’t have feelings for Ed.
