"Football tryouts are after school, are you nervous?" Niall asked Liam

"Not really, I mean I've been practicing a lot with you. I feel pretty confident." Liam said nodding

An hour later everyone had tryout that were in line and were now just waiting to see who made it for the team.

"I know for sure I'm going to get in, they loved me the past years. What would make them change their minds?" Harry said patting Niall's back

"Don't get so cocky my friend." Niall said chuckling and shook his head

Mr. Fernandez had came out of the gym and put up the list making him be in the middle of the big buff guys.

Once it got clear Zayn, Harry, Niall and Liam went to go check if they made it in or not.

The three boys cheered because they made it in but saw Harry standing there quite disappointed.

"I don't understand, I've made it in every single year. Why don't they want me in this year?" Harry yelled storming out of the hall

"I'll go after him." Niall said to Zayn and Liam

"So," Zayn said rocking on his heels

"See ya around." Liam said waving at Zayn

Zayn was about to say something but just sighed and waved back at Liam.

When Niall reached Harry he saw Louis rubbing his back while Harry tugged at his hair in frustration.

"I'm really sorry Harry, I know how much you love football and I wish I knew why you didn't get in this year. You're absolutely amazing." Niall said sitting next to Harry

"Don't you think it's because they gave the spot to Liam this year? I mean he got in this year and he was so good!" Louis said

"No I highly doubt that Louis, such nonsense you're talking about." Niall said pinching Louis to stop talking

"That's it! It's Liam, Liam took my spot that's why I'm not in. You see, this is all your fault because you encouraged your friend over there to join." Harry said poking Niall's chest harshly

"I'll just leave." Louis whispered

"Harry I didn't know this was going to happen, I-" Niall said but Harry cut him off

"I'm sick and tired of this, everything is about Liam and it's is getting boring. Liam took my spot and it's all your fault." Harry said turning red

"Harry do you even hear yourself? After our last argument about this I haven't said a single thing to you about Liam! You're being really childish about this. Obviously I'm devastated that you won't be on the team, we've been on it together for three years but I'm sorry, I don't know what else you want me to say or do." Niall said standing up

"Well if you're so sorry, go tell Mr. Fernandez to kick out Liam and put me on the team." Harry said balling up his fists

"I'm not going to do that, don't you think Liam should get a chance?" Niall said rolling his eyes

"Wow, I didn't think you'd say that." Harry said shaking his head

Niall raised his eyebrow in confusion and thought that Harry was being immature.

"You've always stood up for me in everything. But this is the last and final time I say this, I'm so done with you." Harry said pushing Niall and walked out of the school

Niall got up and blinked back the tears that threatened to fall.
Harry and Niall obviously had previous arguments but none of those ever made Niall want to cry like the one he just encountered.

Niall went back into the gym not wanting to start on football practices but changed into his uniform anyway.

"Is Harry okay now?" Zayn asked throwing the ball to Niall

"No, he's so angry. I don't think we're friends anymore." Niall said shaking his head

"You'll make up soon enough, trust me you two are like a Jelena romance." Zayn said chuckling

Niall smiled but deep down he knew there was no making up anytime soon.

"How was your first practice?" Niall asked Liam when they were back in the locker room

"It was great! I honestly thought I was going to hate it but it was really nice." Liam said taking off his uniform

Niall's eyes widened when he saw Liam's abs. Niall coughed knowing that he was a bright shade of red.

Niall changed into his street clothes and locked up his locker with his uniform inside.

When Niall got home the first thing he heard was a lot of noise coming from the kitchen. He quietly and slowly walked to the kitchen and saw his mum cleaning up the kitchen.

"Mommy! I missed you!" Niall said hugging his mum

"Niall you scared me! I thought you would be at Harry's?" Niall's mum said but hugged his little boy back

"Uh no, we're not friends anymore." Niall said giving his mum a sad smile

"Oh baby I'm sorry but I know you two will make up." Maura said lightly slapping Niall's cheek

Niall rolled his eyes and sighed, "No mum I think this is permanent." Niall said

"You've always said that dear, trust me. You two will make up soon." Maura said giving his son a smile

a/n: I was on writer's block sorry but I'm back :)
