Jessica's POV

        I smiled as I heard Ali laugh while hugging her best friend. Im glad two of the five of us got to be back with our best friends. From the looks on Louis and Riley that was never going to happen. I hated my ex best friend with a burning passion. Emily looked at the boy with black hair with one of the dirties looks in the world, If looks could kill, he would have been dead minutes ago. I wonder what the others ex-best friends did to make them hate them so much. 

        My best friend, he did the worst thing he could ever do, he lied to me. Liam Payne, my ex-best friend, lied to me. He said that if he went back onto the X-Factor he wouldnt forget me and said he would call me all the time. He never called me once. When I tried to call him he hung up when he answered or ignored the calls. I will never forgive him for lying to me and breaking his promise to me.

        We had been best friends for 13 years, from 3 to 16. We met when our mums put us in daycare. I had been sitting alone, the other kids wouldnt play with me. Liam saw I had been alone and decied to come over an play with me. We had a blast and since then we were best friends. It ended when he stopped contacting me when he went to try out for the X-Factor for the second time. Me, Nikkie, and Ruth were the reasons why he tried out in the first place. We all begged and begged him to do it and finally he did. 

        "Dont say a word" I growle at him as he opened his mouth. "You mean nothing to me any more and havent since the day you left, over three years ago."

        Liam looked at me and nodded his head. I glared at him and stood firmly at Riley's side. She gave me a nod which I returned. 

Liam's POV

        I knew what I did was hurtful especially since there wasnt a promise I made to Jesse that I didnt keep. Jesse was my best friend, everyone in our hoe town knew that, we rarley were apart. I never saw my future without her by myside, as a friend, until I went off to try out for the X-Factor for the second time. I knew that if I got famous things would get hectic an the two of us would slowly and painfully become distant, I didnt want that. So I decided that when we said goodbye to each other at the airport the day i went to try out again, I made sure it was our final goodbye. Later on I cried, all through out the plane ride. I still hate myself for breaking that promise, or any promise to Jesse. I knew that if I had broke that promise or any promise that I had made to and with her, then she would hate me and never forgive me. 

        I looked at Jesse, I was the only person who could call her that, and sighed. This was going to be a long two months, maybe not for Niall and Harry since they got their best friends back but it would be for Louis, me, and maybe Zayn. The look that Jesse's friend was giving him, Im surpised he didnt drop dead. The look on Zayns face looked like he had been told his mum died or something. Louis was standing as far from the girl, Riley, as he possible could. He must have also done something harrible to make him be afraid she will kill him, as he said before. I think there is a reason why he did what he did, theres always a reason sometimes its just not a good one. 

        "I wont fight with you, Jessica" I said, using her full name knowing she would probably murder me if I called her Jesse. "I want this summer to be fun. So can we at least be civil?"

        She exchanged a look with Riley then glared at me. 

        "You want me to be civil with you" she said and I nodded. 

        I think it wasnt to much to ask. 

        "Then you dont know what I have been through since you left" she snapped. "I went through more shit then you did before you left. I was silly to think that the promises we made actually meant something to you but I guess forever doesnt always mean forever. Years ago I proomised myself that I would never be within a five mile radias of you but I guess the best I can do for the next two months is ignore you and hope that these two months will passed quickly."

        I stared at her for a moment and thought about her. Looking in her eyes they held anger and betrayal. I knew what I did hurt her a lot but there was more to it. I realized that something happened after I left and that something hurt her, probably more than me leaving did. I intended to find out what it was. 

        "Alright" I sighed. "If thats how you want it."

        She nodded and I shrugged, pretending I didnt care, but I knew that I was going to find out what happened after I left. 

        All of us turned to face Zayn and the last girl, whose name I didnt know but probably will learn. This should be intersting.
