The apartment is quiet except for the hum of the refrigerator. You stand frozen at the kitchen counter, your hand still tingling from where you dropped Niall's phone. The screen glows with a string of messages from your bestfriend, each one a knife twist. A low chuckle slices through the silence. You turn to find Niall leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. His eyes glint with amusement as he takes in your shattered expression. "You thought I actually loved you?!" he laughs, each mocking syllable echoing off the walls. His laughter fills the room, but his gaze locks onto yours, waiting for a reaction.
