One.

Chapter Twelve...

Does it burn? Knowing I used all the pain? Does it hurt? Knowing you're fuel to my flame? Don't look back, don't need your regrets. Thank God you left my love behind, couldn't change me if you tried

Release your curse, 'cause I know my worth. Those wounds you made are gone, you ain't seen nothing yet. Your love wore thin and I never win. You want the best, so sorry that's clearly not me.

This is all I can be...

Am I still not good enough? Am I still not worth that much? I'm sorry for the way my life turned out. Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now. Guess I'm still not good enough

Good Enough; Little Mix.

{Perrie's POV}

I knock on the familiar door, the door I've come to many times before. Behind this door is hopefully the person I really want to see. This person has always been there for me and is literally one of the people I consider almost like family.

Danielle.

I smile at her and she lets out a small squeak as she stands in the open doorway, wearing sweats and a jumper, her wild hair pulled back into a ponytail out of her face. I feel her arms wrap around me and I hug back, taking in the embrace of the older girl.

"What's wrong?" Dani immediately asks once she stops smiling, pulling back from the hug. "Come in." Dani grabs my hand and drags me through her home and straight to her couch, sitting me down opposite her. I place my bag down and sit cross legged on the couch.

I explain the whole shit with Zayn and everything that's happened, a lot of different noises and facial expressions coming from Danielle as I speak to her. By the end I feel the blood boiling in my viens again and Dani sighs, letting out an annoyed noise.

"For starters," Dani speaks up. "A pencil?" Dani asks and we both laugh a little. I have been writing in this book. Trust me, I've needed it! "But, I have a feeling someone we both adore," Dani says with sarcasm. "Has something to do with this." Dani tells me. Sophia. Urgh!

"That, or Zayn's just being a total ass." Dani adds and I laugh a little at her. I doubt he's purposely being an ass. The Sophia thing seems more realistic. But what more could she possibly want to do to me? If she is the conductor of this, well I'm finished with her. I've been nice, still after what she did previously, but now I'm fed up.

"Per," Dani gets my attention again and I nod for her to proceed. "Given Mr. Loverboy the note yet?" Dani asks me and I nod my head. That little envelope I gave him is what she's referring to. I just highly doubt he's actually opened it though.

"Yep. Don't think he opened it though. Which is good now." I reply and Dani just sighs and gives me a toothless smile.

"They can rip you bring you down, down to their size. But she will never get to the heart you hold inside," Danielle says. "Just remember those words of four very wise women." Dani winks and I laugh along with her. Oh Dan...

"Beckham over Messi anyday." I shake my head as I argue with Jordan, Leigh's boyfriend over which football player is better.

"No! Messi! What the heck? You're just saying Beckham 'cause he's hotter." Jordan argues back. I slap Jordan and shake my head. David Beckham is hot, but I think he's a pretty wicked player too! Jonnie and I used to always watch his games.
