Clary's POV
I roll out of bed at like 11am. It was Saturday, the day after the BRITs. I didn't even get to go to any killer after parties because I just wanted to get away from Niall. I was in the kitchen making something for breakfast when I heard my phone ring. I run to my room and quickly answer it without check the caller ID. "Hello?"
"Clary!" Shit it was Harry. I groaned and ran my hands through my hair.
"What do you want Harry?" I walked back out of my room towards the kitchen.
"Whatcha doing tonight?"
"I have plans. Sorry." I didn't even attempt to sound sorry. I did have plans though. I was singing at the café tonight. And Liam was going to come along with Ryan, Penny, and Nicole. Shit. Penny is going. Oh man this will be interesting.
"Aw that’s too bad…what about next weekend?" Why is he doing this?
"I believe that is girls weekend. Listen I have to go." I was praying that he would just understand that I don’t want to talk to him.
"Where to? Its not even the afternoon. Come on talk to me Clary. You talk to Liam…why not me?" I just wanted to slam my head on the counter.
"I don't know…" I decided to give in and invite him tonight as well. "Listen I'm performing at this café on my street. Liam is going so you can just go with him if you want…"
"I would love to!! How exciting! What time?" Penny will die tonight I am fairly certain. Death via One Direction.
"Go over to Liam's at like 6. I'll see you later Harry."
"See ya babe!" The phone call ended and I finished eating my breakfast. Maybe I'll just tell Penny what's happening. Get out all the crazy now. Penny comes out right on queue. I look at her then go and load my dishes into the dishwasher. I sit down by her while she grades papers. I just spew it out. Everything really. How I know the boys…about Niall and I…about what happened…and then I caught her up on what was going on now. She was just gaping at me. "Are you serious right now?! YOU DATED NIALL HORAN?!"
"Penny calm down its not that--"
"AND NOW HE WANTS YOU BACK!!! What the hell are you waiting for? IT IS NIALL JAMES HORAN!" I put my head in my hands. This is what I knew she was going to say. But she doesn't understand.
"Because I'm different now! And he's away all the time! I just can't." Penny sat down by me and looked at me closely.
"Fine do what you want. But I don't see how being friends with only a couple of them is going work out." She gets up and goes to shower. I just go to my room and lay down on my bed. My phone dings signaling I have a text. I reach for it and see it is from Liam.

Liam: So Harry is coming now? I guess that’s okay…glad to see you are branching out…is Nicole going as well?
Me: Harry shouldn't be that big of a problem…I felt bad, I couldn't say no to him. And yea...
Liam: Sweet. See you later! :)

I smiled and got up to shower. Then I looked at my clothes figuring out what I wanted to wear today. The café is kind of like a bar too…its sorta weird…but it was mine, Penny and Ryan's favorite place to hangout on the weekends. I finished getting dressed in some comfy clothes. I keep on replaying what Niall said to me…how he would fight for me until the day he died.

I was up again because of a thunderstorm and Niall was sleeping next to me. I get up and grab a glass of water then go back to his room. I snuggle close to him. I hear him murmur in his sleep. I can't really make out the words. Then his arms tightened around me. "I love you. Please don't go…I love you." I stop breathing because well…he's never said that to me. Ever. Even after our night this Homecoming. I don't really know what to do because he probably didn't mean for me to hear it. But I can't help but smile and go back to sleep.

I hear my door creak open which snaps me from my daydream. I really need to stop. I look over to see Nicole poking her head in, smiling. I smile back and she comes in. She looks good. Her dark brown hair is down and wavy. Her eyes were so warm and inviting…they always have been. Not to mention her skin tanned perfectly and she got just the right amount of freckles. Unlike me…who doesn't tan and freckles cover my whole body. But right now I am as pale as a ghost…because it's winter. My hair looks brighter than ever. "Hey what's up? Did Penny let you in?" She comes over and looks at my chair…spotting the bear that Niall won for me in it.
"You still have this thing?! Why Clary…I thought that you--"
"I am. I just…I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Anyways why are you over here? Not that I don't mind…" I go and sit down by her on my bed.
"Clary Berry…Lills called and said that there is a girls weekend coming up? With Eleanor and Perrie?" OH crap I forgot to tell her everything that happened last night. I sigh and look at my best friend, practically my sister. I take another deep breath then tell her everything that went down. Eleanor and Perrie welcoming me back with open arms. Niall getting drunk and he told me that Nicole told him where I lived. I glared at her for that but I know that she meant the best. I think that she is still pulling for him to win me back. The whole hallway thing again. Then I caught her up on what happened this morning. She just whistled.
"Well that explains why Penny was asking weird ass questions to me. But the bigger problem is what the hell is going on with you and Liam?! You know that you're killing Niall slowly right?" I lay back on the bed. I groan because I know that she is right. Me being friends with Liam probably is killing Niall. Hell he even told me that it was. But right now I look at Nicole and just shrug.
"So what? Let him pout over it."
"You are so fucking stubborn. When are we meeting up with them?" I sit up and hug her. Glad that she is done lecturing me over this.
"Around 6:30. I go on at 7 and get done at 9. So Liam was thinking about going to the club." She pushes me off of her and fake gags. Nicole, shockingly, was never a big partier. She hated clubs. She never went out with Lilly and I back in college. Always staying in and typing away on her laptop. Just like her dad. I sigh and give in to her.
"We don't have to go with them. We could go back to your place and watch a chick-flick if you want?" She smiles and tackles me with a bear hug. And then she kisses my cheek.
"Thanks Clars! You are the bestest ever." Then she heads on out probably to finish a chapter or two before we left. I look at the clock and it was only 3 in the afternoon. Maybe I will see if Ryan wants to go out for lunch or something…

Niall's POV
I was out with Harry, who needed a new shirt or something for tonight. I have no idea why but then we decided to stop by Nando's. And I swear I almost died, there was Clary laughing her ass off with Ryan. I swear she has no idea the effect she has on guys. Because here are Harry and I staring at her. I knew that her eyes were shining from happiness. Why? Because she has laughed like that around me more times than I can even count. Every memory I have of her she was laughing…eyes shining...I thought from happiness and love. But now when she looks at me…her eyes are cold. "Should we go somewhere else Niall?"
"No." I hear him sigh but I pass their table and sit behind them. Harry smiles and waves when he passes. He seems chirpier. Something happened this morning. I know it. When he called asking for a companion today on his adventure. I haven't seen him this pumped since…well the BRITs. But something was off. He kept on peeking over my shoulder and smiling. I purposefully sat so I couldn't see her being all cute with Ryan. Because it hurt. "Haz. Why did you need to go get new things today?" His gaze drifts to mine and he stops smiling. He shakes his head and mumbles that he couldn't tell me. I have a hunch this has something to do with my Clary. God dammit…you have got to be kidding me. I notice Harry waving again so I turn around and see her leaving. I look back and was about to ask him what the hell is going on but our food comes. And well we don’t talk much because well food. Afterwards Harry said he was heading over to Liam's since it was getting late. But it was only 5:30. He dropped me off but I never went up I went to my car and told my driver to follow Harry's car. I have to know what is up. This reminds me of when I was sneaking around them when Clary and I first started dating. We park across from Liam's building and wait. They come back out around 6:30 and hop into one of Liam's cars that the fans don't know about. I motion for my driver to follow. I wish I could just drive myself. They stop outside this café and that's when I spot her. I tell him to stop and I hop out. I stay far enough away for them not to spot me. God I can't take my eyes off of her in that dress of hers. Then I see her hug and kiss Liam on the cheek. And my jealous rage kicked in. She does the same to Harry before linking her arms through his. Nicole walks in with Liam then I notice Ryan and Penny. They seem to be in to each other. Well there's one less guy I have to worry about. After they vanish in the café or bar. I'm not quite sure but I decide to head in. I find a table behind theirs. Where is Clary? Why is everyone faced towards a stage? Then Clary appears on the stage. She smiles then she spots me and stops smiling. I don't think this is going to end well for me. She sits down on the seat for the piano and starts to play.

Remember when I cried to you a thousand times
I told you everything
You know my feelings
It never crossed my mind
That there would be a time
For us to say goodbye
What a big surprise

But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again

Remember when...
I remember when it was together till the end
Now I'm alone again
Where do I begin?
I cried a little bit
You died a little bit
Please say there's no regrets
And say you won't forget

But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again

Remember when...
That was then
Now it's the end
I'm not coming back
I can't pretend
Remember When

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again..

After she gets done she plays a couple more songs but I know that she directed that first one at me. I feel the tears streaming down my face. I can't believe that she doesn't want to talk to me ever again. I just stand up and head out to leave and that's when I run right into Liam.
"What are you doing here Niall?" I just get really angry really fast at him.
"I could ask you the same question Liam?! What the hell are you doing with my girl?!" I could easily hurt him with my crutches. One blow the nuts and he's done for. Liam just sighs and runs his hands through his hair. I can tell he's anxious.
"Listen Niall…just because she doesn't want to talk to you doesn’t mean the rest of us can't talk to her okay?!" Then he storms past me. I stand there shell shocked at what just happened. I decide to head to their table. I just had to talk to Clary. And when I got over there I regret my rash decision.

Clary's POV
Harry and Liam congratulate me, I hug them. I also tell Liam that no club tonight. But he could come over tomorrow to hang out if he wanted to. Then I hear a voice that I feel like won't ever leave me alone. "Clarissa…you did wonderfully." I whirl around and come face to face with Niall Horan.
