They Don't Know About Us

Tearing Me Apart - Chapter 44

*PAIGES POV*

I stand in the same position as Chloe runs after Becky. "What?" I mumble as tears build up in my orbs and Shelby tries to comfort me but stays silent "Why is it never me? I know she's lost her baby and I can't imagine what that's like but what the fuck Shelby! We've been kidnapped, tortured, attacked in our own hospital room and almost murdered on numerous occasions and she's the one saying why is it always me!" I scream at the top of my lungs. "She's grieving Paige!" Shelby replies calmly, hoping her emotions would rub off on me. No chance. "I realise that Shelby but she..." I scream once more pointing towards the door she slammed shut "Has no right to take that out on me or any of us! It was nobody's fault the baby died. It was an accident..." I pause when I realise something. "She doesn't blame me, does she?" I ask quietly, Shelby lowers her head and shakes it slowly. "She...she blames Niall!" I exclaim, but before either of us can even open our mouths Beth, Josh's girlfriend, walks in the room. 

"Hey, you guys okay? I heard shouting?" She asks curiously, searching the room for an answer but only finding us. "Yeah we're fine thanks Beth. How are you?" Shelby replies, putting the situation aside. For now. "Good and I'm okay. I'm here to surprise Josh! Haven't seen him since he jetted off over here..."
She explains that she's been working with her dance career to try and expand her abilities. We knew this already but just so we were up to date on everything. "Josh is going to be so friggin' happy to see you! You're all he takes about!" I tease, nudging her shoulder. She laughs and shoves me away funnily "I should bloody hope so!" she replies sarcastically before a grin spreads across her face and Becky walks back into the room. Chloe not far behind her. Our conversation comes to a halt and we glare towards her, oblivious of what she was going to do next. 

"Errm, I'm gonna leave you guys to it. Call me if you need me!" Beth says to me seriously before smiling slightly and leaving the room. Chloe walks over so she's standing at my side along with Shelby. Becky stands alone. "Why did you say that Becc? You know exactly what we've been through, how painful those memories are for us!" I say slightly out of tone but calm enough to sound in control. She takes a deep aggravated breath. "You're right I'm sorry but i blame him Paige! I blame Niall!" She says back to me in a form of retaliation. A confused expression appears clearly on my face. "Why? Niall didn't do this! The person who abandoned that fucking car did!" I explain obviously pissed off. "Yes, but he was the one driving! If he'd never suggested going out in the first place then my baby would be alive right now!" At this point she's screaming as loud as I am. I'm taken back. "His bosses just told him he had to break up with me! He refused of course but he didn't want to stay in this building any longer without having a break! It. Wasn't. His. Fault!" I scream back but twice as loud, before storming away back into my given room and this time, it's me slamming the door. Not her.
