Chapter 66

"Lenny?! You're Melanie?" Cath catches me off guard. "God, you look beautiful." She pouts. "We should take a picture!" She takes a selfie from her phone and then Luke shows up behind Cath.

"You took my advice." He nods, nudging his chin up to greet Thomas.

"Well, would you mind to tell me why?" I ask him as I lead Thomas to where Luke and Cath sit.

"Miles and the others despise him." Luke informs. "But it doesn't matter now. You're here with Thomas." He smiles. "You look amazing, Lenny." He says.

"Luke, you want to dance?" Cath asks him, shaking his arm.

"Let's just wait 'till the slow dance." Luke groans.

"You're not fun. Lenny! Let's go dance!" She pulls me by my arm and since I'm wearing heels, I can't run from her so I just follow her and the others. I slowly back away and take a glance over Thomas who is talking to Luke and Brodie. I decide to grab a punch.

"Oh, hi, Lenny." Warren's high pitched voice comes behind me.

"Warnut, hey." I smile at her. She wears her eyeshadow way too black with her hair pulled up in a bun.

"You're not here with Niall." She looks around, scanning for Niall.

"And you're here with who? Miles? A pity that Luke dumped you." I snap.

"Oh, no, I'm here with him." She points someone that walks over to us. My mouth fully parted, making an O shape. He looks at the ground, avoiding any eye-contact.

"Jamie? Really?" I raise my voice. "God, you're a dick. What about Elle?"

"I broke up with her." His voice is stern, glaring at me.

"What about you and Niall? You guys broke up?" Warren interrupts my thoughts that are wondering at how a dick move of what Jamie did. "Because I see that you're here with Thomas. He's cute alright but, he looks like a 10 year old." She giggles making me nauseous.

"Listen to me, racoon-face, Niall and I aren't broke up and will never be. You know why you're being a bitch to me? Because you're jealous of me that you didn't even get your chance to shove his dick into you, aren't you?" I smirk, putting the punch away and start to walk away.

"Oh, so you had sex with Niall?" Warren gives me a sly smile. Without my awareness, Miles and the others are behind me.

"Gosh." I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"So? You just lost your virginity? When?" Miles smirking at me.

"It's none of your business, Teller." I start to walk away, but he grabs my wrist. "Get off, asshole!" I jerk away.

"The one you should be calling asshole is Niall. Niall used you. Even before he knew you, he told us that he wanted to take your virginity. That's why he didn't show up here." Miles says, laughing. "I can't believe you fell into his shit." He and his friends laugh at me. I feel my body stutter, not being able to move or talk as they laugh at me. Even my bestfriend, Jamie does. I feel the tears start to foam in my eyes. I don't want to cry in front of them. "Niall is one of us, he's not yours." Miles adds. "After this, he's going to run back to us. Not you. It has been what? A week? A month since you guys did it? He was just feeling bad for you that's why he kept on hanging out with you. But, clearly, not after prom. He's busy with dealing drugs anyway." He laughs. 

Niall? A drug dealer?

"How does it feel, Richards? Tell us the whole sexperience, come on." Warren's high pitched voice catches everyone and I can't stop myself from crying. Tears fall down my cheeks as I whimper and run out of the gym.

"At least, you look really hot tonight." Someone shouts making everyone laughs. Only the heartless people that would fall into that joke.

"Lenny!" Thomas calls me from behind, followed by Luke.

"Lenny, wait!" Luke's voice comes behind me.

"Please, just, leave." I ruin my makeup as I sit on the parking lot, in the falling snow. I don't mind the cold weather because the chest pain I'm feeling now is worsened by the minute.

 "Melanie, hey, come here." Thomas covers my bare shoulders with his black suit as he pulls me into a big hug. "Don't hear what they said, Len. You're going to be okay."

"Thomas, I'm not going to be okay. I know Niall and that isn't true. I just have to call Niall and—" I sob. "and then—"

"Hey, look at me." He lifts my chin up to meet his bright eyes. "You are nothing compared to them. They are just trying to ruin you and you have to stop them from making you like this. Niall loves you and I know that. Niall wouldn't do anything such like it. Don't listen to them, please." He strokes my cheek as I quickly pull him into a hug.
