My hand shot up over my awestruck mouth and tears formed in my eyes, but I quickly pushed them back. I wouldn't cry, I couldn't. Zayn got up and left the room and Harry stood there, now fully clothed, with a completely serious look. "That's the only reason it took so long. He wanted you to be better, but he also wanted to make sure everything was coordinated. The only reason he was so pissed at Niall was because Niall knew. Niall knew everything, and he was going to be Zayn's best man if you said yes. After all, they are best friends. Well, they were."

"No…" Dumbfounded. I was completely awestricken and at lost for words. "No." I ran out of the room to try and find Zayn, but he was gone. I dialed his phone number, but the call was rejected. I texted Niall:

We need to talk. ASAP.

Part of me hoped he didn't reply, but he did. Of course.

Okay. Meet me at my flat.

I jumped in my car, driving past a crying Zayn as I drove to Niall's. Full of rage and despair, I stormed into Niall's flat. "Niall? Where are you?" I asked sweetly.

"Here." I heard from the kitchen. I walked in there quickly and stopped right in front of him. "You okay?" My hand flew up behind me and whipped across his face, taking him back.

"How could you?" I yelled, tears now falling down my face, and he casted an evil smirk at me.

"You couldn't expect me to pass up an opportunity like that." I back up a few steps as Niall came closer to me, but it was too late. He pinned me up against the wall and forced his lips against mine, grabbing my butt as he slid his tongue into my mouth. I squirmed and tried to get away, screaming through closed lips.

He pulled away to rip my shirt off and I screamed at the top of my lungs. Niall threw his hand over my mouth and I bit it, causing him to pull it back, and I ran.

I ran out of the apartment complex and into the parking lot, but I left my keys inside, so I just ran down the street, shirtless, as Niall chased me. "Come back here, Natalie!" He wasn't far behind, but I was faster than him.

"What the?" I heard a voice as I ran into something hard. Tears streamed down my face, and the person pulled me up. They let out a grunt, but quickly pulled me behind them when Niall came into view. "First of all, why are you shirtless? Second of all, why is Niall chasing after you?"It was Louis.

"Louis!" I wrapped my arms around him and cried. Niall stopped in front of us and panted. I held Louis tighter and gasped. "Please make him go away. Please." I whispered between sobs.

"Niall, I don't know what's going on, but I have a pretty good idea. This isn't you, man. Just go." Louis said, and Niall scowled at him.

"Fine." He turned and walked away, and I sank to my knees, sobbing harder than ever.

Louis crouched down beside me and put his hands on my shoulders, "You okay?"

"Louis, I can't do this anymore. Niall brainwashed me, and Zayn hates Niall for doing it. But Zayn also hates me for falling for it, and-" Louis put a finger to my lips and shushed me.

"Zayn doesn't hate you! Zayn loves you more than anything in the entire world! He's been super depressed lately because he lost you. He feels as though all of this is his fault." Louis stared sympathetically into my eyes.

I stood up, slightly losing my balance, and putting a hand on Louis' shoulder for support. "What do I do, Louis?" I asked, wiping away a stray tear.

"Find Zayn."
