*Heather's POV*

"You didn't have to do that," Chloe states. "There is a difference between hitting me and hitting Harry."

"It's not my fault. You people are annoying and I am hoping I can maybe slap some sense into you," I reply and look at Chloe full of rage. "Just go hang out with that stupid blond boy. Maybe he'll listen to your feelings." I walk away towards a corner of the store. I slide down the wall and look over at the scene.

"I am all right," Harry lies and I just give him a cold stare.

I tuck my knees into my chest and rest my head in the gap between my knees. Why is this even happening?

Chloe then walks over to me and sits down next to me. "How about we go to a different mall and buy dresses for the Spring Formal?" she suggests and I shrug.

"We need to get out of here," I state. "Plus I don't have a date."

"Who cares about having a date? You need to wear pink, though," she explains and quickly adds something. "It's your favorite color."

"Here, I will get you ladies out of here," Liam explains and walks over to the locked gate. I stand up and walk over to him with Chloe following behind me. Liam takes out a key from his pocket and unlocks the gate opening it slightly. "There you go."

"You had a key the whole time?" I ask in disbelief staring at the young boy who could've let Chloe and I out before she started generating something for Niall.

"Uh, yeah?" he responds and I take Chloe's arm and walk out of the store with a disgusted look. I can't even believe him.

"Let's go to the mall closer to Connecticut," Chloe suggests and I nod in agreement.

We live in Newburgh, New York and the mall we mostly go to is west of my house which is closer to Pennsylvania. The other mall we sometimes go to is east of my house and is closer to Connecticut. It was about a 15 minute car ride from here to the other mall and I couldn't wait to leave.

We hop into my car and I start it. I back out of the parking lot and on to the road. I head east and Chloe takes a CD out of her purse.

"What is that?" I ask and she shrugs.

"It's One Direction's new album. Niall gave me it for free," she adds a giggle at the end and I sigh. I allow her to put it in the CD player because we've never actually listened to their music. I was just annoyed by how many times I heard of them in a day.

The first song, Live While We're Young plays and I like the beat to it. "That was actually a good song," I whisper and Chloe just smiles.

"What if we formed an inaccurate accusation against them? What if they aren't actually that bad, but we were just being stereo-typical?" she asks and looks at the album cover. "What if one of them is meant for me?" I can tell who she's talking about, but I still can't let her get hurt.

"But, Chloe, Jake is someone you've known for a long time. Since 3rd grade I should add. You just met Niall. You don't really know him yet. Just please understand that Jake is a better choice. He will be able to spend time with you," I exclaim and she smiles.

"I guess, but it's really not the simple. I got myself into this mess talking to Niall because now I like him and Jake, but apparently both of them like me so now I have to choose and leave one heartbroken and that makes me upset," she explains then bites her lip. "Maybe I won't choose either of them."

"You have to choose one of them," the car goes silent when I hear:

If you don't wanna take it slow and you just wanna take me home. Baby sing it yeah yeah yeah yeah and let me kiss you.

"That was great timing," I whisper sarcastically.

"It doesn't matter. I mean, I didn't want to start dating until college anyway," she replies and I laugh.

"You said in middle school you didn't want to start dating until high school," I recall and she laughs along with me.

"I guess I will have Jake. I mean, you're right. I have know him longer and he'll be able to stay with me more," she responds and I smile. Finally. She understands that Niall will just hurt her whether he wants to or not.

We arrive at the new mall and head into Macy's. They have racks of dresses. They were color coated, which is nice. Chloe heads to the dark blue dress section and I head to the pink dress section. I pick out a pink fitted dress with a layered look with straps and a low cut front. It goes down to my knee. I head to the dressing rooms the same time Chloe goes in there. She's holding a dress and it looks pretty.

I slip into the dress and walk out of the room the same exact time Chloe does. She's wearing a dark blue strapless fitted dress with a layered look as well. Except her dress is about 1 inch shorter than mine.

"You look pretty," Chloe states and I blush.

"You don't look half bad yourself," I reply and she laughs.

"Thanks. Now let's pay for these and go to DSW and get some shoes," she suggests and I nod in agreement. I slip back into my regular clothes and head out of the dressing rooms the same time Chloe does.

We pay for the dresses and head for DSW when we get stopped in front of Hot Topic by Rosie and her group.

"Dresses? Who asked you losers to the dance?" she asks and I instantly am at a loss for words.

"I am going with Jake and Heather is going alone. It's her choice to go alone, though, so don't make fun of her for it," Chloe replies with a sudden boost of courage I have never seen before.

While Rosie and Chloe are bickering back and forth, I look over at DSW and the gates close. What? It's only 11 in the morning. Or, it isn't. It can't be. One Direction was in the other mall.

"Whatever. Leave me alone, dweebs," Rosie concludes the aregument and walks away towards another store in the mall. Chloe and I head for DSW and she spots the gates closed as well.

"What?" she asks looking inside. I look inside as well and see One Direction alone in there. How am I supposed to shop for shoes when One Direction is invading our malls?

"I can let you in," Liam suggests. "As long as you don't hurt me for hiding the fact that I had a key the whole time earlier today."

"I promise I won't hurt you," I state with a bored expression.

"Thank you," he responds and unlocks the door. Chloe and I head inside and head towards the high heels.

"You know I don't like high heels because they hurt my feet," she complains and I just smile.

"I'm looking for high heels then we can find flats for you," I reply and she smiles. I look to her side and see Niall walking up to her.

"Hi," he greets her nervously and she turns around. Niall looks so in love. It's cute, but then I remember the heartaches that will be caused because of this. "I can help you look for shoes."

"Ok," Chloe replies without even asking me. I shake my head in disapproval, but she couldn't care less. She heads towards all the flats with Niall and starts trying to find the perfect pair.

"Do you need help with looking for the perfect pair of shoes?" Harry's voice asks suddenly appearing beside me.

"Sure," I finally give in. "I've got nothing to lose."
