Bipolar

Chapter 37

a/n: Thank you so so so much for 900 reads!! I can't believe it! Thank you! You're the best!

Also, I picture Tate as Nick Jonas, Idk. lol.

It's been three months since I've last seen Harry, he was just a small blip of my life, or my past now. I had moved out, found my own apartment, and I'm looking for a job right now because things have not been going so smoothly.

I look through my closet looking for something to wear to go to my writing class that I signed up for at some small community college. "Ugh!" I yell flopping down on the bed and I hear my alarm go off, I have thirty minutes to be down to the class, shit.

I grab a pair of ripped skinny jeans since it was finally warm now, thank goodness. I also slipped on a cropped purple sweater and my black vans. As I rummaged through the closet to find a pair of socks, I saw a sweatshirt..of Harry's. I immediately threw it back and ran out of my room with my purse and phone, I can't believe I still had that.

I exit my apartment building bumping into someone who I didn't know until I saw their face, it was Niall. "Jade! Hey, how are you?" Niall smiles and I smile back. "I'm good, how are you?" I ask and he shrugs. "Good, Kate and I got engaged." He smiles and I make an 'aww'. "Congratulations, tell her I said hi." I say and he nods. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. "Oh, one of my friends live here. His name is Danny." He says and I nod. "Well, I need to go. It was nice seeing you, Niall." I say patting his arm.

"You too." He says and I go down to the elevator. Wow, Kate and Niall are engaged, I can't believe that. I just spoke to them...three months ago? That was a while actually. I sigh getting off and exiting the building, then walking a block to the small college.

"Jade, hey." My new friend, Beth, says sitting down next to me with a smile on her glowing face. "Hey, Beth." I smile and she asks for a pencil. "Oh my gosh, guess what?" She asks and I giggle shrugging then hand her the pencil. "I met a boy, his name is Ashton." She says and I smile. "Nice, is he cool?" I ask her as we wait for the teacher to come in.

"Yeah, I'm going on a date with him tonight." She says as her cheeks turn a peachy color. "Well, have fun, and use protection." I warn and she laughs. "I'm not going to have sex, im a virgin anyways. Aren't you?" She asks and I shake my head. "Nope." I smile and she rolls her eyes. "Okay." She says then Mr. Donaldson comes in, finally.

After the class Beth and I went out for lunch at some sandwich shop that we decided to try. "Oh my gosh, this sandwich tastes like, amazing!" Beth says and I smile taking a bite of my own. "Yeah, it's good." I nod in agreement until I see the door open and I see a beautiful man, almost as beautiful as Harry- no, I need to stop comparing men to Harry. Harry is gone.

"Ooh, who is that?" Beth whispers to me from across the table, her elbows leaning onto the edge. "I-I don't know, but he's super cute." I say quietly back to her. "Go!" She hisses pushing me up and I giggle getting in the line behind the attractive boy. "Whoa, sorry." I apologize after purposely stumbling into the man. "Oh, it's okay, really." He smiles as he helps me up.

"I'm Tate, and you are?" He asks looking down at me. He's almost as tall as Harry. I think then tell him my name. "That's a pretty name." He compliments and I thank him. "You're welcome. Are you here with anyone?" He asks looking around. "Nope, no one." I lie looking over at Beth who looked fine alone, I'll explain later why I had to leave her.

I ate lunch with the boy for about forty-five minutes, until we were finished. "It was great meeting you, Jade. I'll call you later." He smiles throwing our food away. "Okay, bye Tate." I smile then leave to see Beth texting someone.

"You left me! For like an hour! What the hell Jade?!" She yells and I yelp quietly. "I'm sorry, but the guy, he was so cute and really nice." I say and she sighs. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Did you get his number?" She asks and I nod with a huge smile on my face. "That's great!" She squeals and I nod. "I know," Now maybe I can forget about Harry.

"Who's Harry?" She asks and I gulp looking over at her. "What?" I ask her and she furrows her eyebrows. "You said, now maybe I can forget about Harry. Who is he?" She asks and I sigh exaggeratedly not wanting her to find out, but oh well, I guess.

"He was my ex-boyfriend. Harry Styles." I say and she gasps. "You dated Harry Styles?! He's like a billionaire!" She says and I laugh humorlessly at her. "Yeah, well, I didn't really care about that." I say truthfully because I didn't care if he was a billionaire or if he only had five dollars.

I loved him.

"Why'd you break up?" She asks and I shrug. "I said something really mean and he was hurt over it, so we broke up, I guess..." I say then stand up. "Okay, well, I'm going to go home and take a long, hot shower. So, Beth, I will call you later." I smile then walk home, it wasn't that far.

I still have the car Harry gave me, but I only use it when I really have to because it reminds me of him, and I don't like it. It even smells like him, and it's my car!

I get into my small apartment and lock the door behind me, I don't want a murderer shooting me today, nope, not gonna happen.

I go into the kitchen and make myself some ramen noodles, I've been eating these for dinner for the past four days, and I'm sick of it. I decide to throw the noodles away and order some cheese pizza.

As I wait for the pizza I watch television, American Horror Story to be specific. I check my phone to see the time, it was only five-thirty, ugh. I want to go to sleep already.

The pizza finally arrives and I pay fifteen bucks then go sit down in front of the tv and eat three pieces then put the rest in the fridge.

I take a shower for at least thirty minutes to just relax and ease my stress. I get out and grab my laptop to type my essay for my writing class. I had to make an essay on something, and it didn't really matter what it was.

I think for a while on what to write then I just give up, the essay is due next week anyways. A ping comes from my phone and I check to see who it was from, Tate.

From: Tate
What's up? ;)

I furrow my eyebrows at the winky face but I ignore it then reply back.

To: Tate
Nothing really

From: Tate
Sounds fun lol

Tate and I text for about an hour until he had to go eat somewhere with his parents, he had said. I set my alarm for seven am because I was going to go jogging in the morning because I've gained weight since I broke up with Harry, I don't know why, but I did.

I watch some YouTube videos and then go to sleep around ten.

In the morning I wake up when the alarm goes off, I didn't want to get up, but I have to. I get up and change into a pair of yoga pants and a tank top and my black nike shoes then grab my phone and earbuds and head down stairs not taking the elevator this time.

I leave the apartment building and turn on some music to listen to with my earbuds then start jogging.

I get back home and take a shower then call Beth. "Hey, girl, hey." I say smiling as I plop down on the couch tiredly from jogging for about an hour.

"Hey." She says in a really cheery tone and then I realize she had her date last night. "Oh, how was last night?" I ask her and she giggles, I can tell she was blushing. "Ashton took me to the this really cool concert because he's amazing, and before that we ate at Olive Garden, because I love that place." She says and I smile.

"That's great, Beth." I say and she agrees. "I know, but I need to go, I'm meeting Ashton for lunch." She tells me. "Oh, okay. Bye-" she hangs up. I frown and then put my phone on the couch and watch tv not wanting to think of Harry, but I do, and then I start crying, great.
