Chapter 69

"Have you ever felt like this before?" She asks me, her voice is breaking.

"No." I smile at her.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asks. "She must be really lucky." She says, I shake my head at her silly drunk attitude.

"Yeah, she's now in her school's prom."

"Wait, shouldn't you be her prom date or something?" She squints her eyes, making those swollen eyes are even bigger.

"No, she went with another guy." I chuckle.

"Oh, well, I guess we are the same. You know, when two people are getting a heartbroken, the only way to heal it is to comfort each other." She says. I look at her in confusion as I put the empty beer can away. She quickly leans in and crashes her lips against mine as the pleasure moving our lips in sync. Melanie is way, way much better than hers but, I can't seem to understand what my brains' intentions are. I push her chest back as the guilt washes over me to see some stranger kisses me all in sudden.

"Niall?" My eyes becoming wider at the thought of seeing Melanie right after me. I push the girl away and look over to her. Melanie whimpers as she puts her palm over her beautiful face.

"Melanie, I can explain." I stand up and breaths frantically as her face is in full shock emotion as she drips her tears away from her face. The girl that kissed me whines as she tries to reach my hands. I jerk away, seeing the love of my life in front of me, breaking into million pieces. My world begins to crumble and all I can do now is to kill myself at the thought I kissed back a stranger. Melanie runs through Thomas' presence as she sobs loudly. "Melanie!" I scream out to her, to my baby.

"Niall, you dumbfuck!" Thomas stops me from running to Melanie. His arms are pretty strong to push me backwards. "You jerk little bastard! I thought you loved her!" Thomas starts to scream out as I fall into my knees, gathering myself together.

"I do, I love her." I sob, letting a tear escapes my eyes. "Let me fucking see her!" I stand up but Thomas pushes me all over again and closes the front door behind him.

"You don't know what she had been through for tonight, apparently, your little fucker friend, Miles embarrassed her in front of the whole school! He told her everything. From the moment when your intention was to use her, well congratulations, you did. The whole school laughed at her. They fucking laughed at her and what did she do? She came here for you, asking for safety. And look what you did!" Thomas runs his fingers through his hair as I curl myself on the floor. "She cried and cried for you and she was about to assure herself that everything Miles said was a lie, until, you're here kissing the face out of a stranger from what? A club? You're nothing but a dick, Niall." Thomas shouts at me before leaving me.

I break down, crying out loud. I break her into pieces. I was supposed to safe her, supposed to take care of her. And look what have I done? She got embarrassed in front of the whole school, only because of me. I should've let Thomas alone in his last prom dance since it clearly had nothing to do with me. I should've been there, with her. Protecting her.

I quickly stand up and run to the lobby through the elevator. I run through the cold breeze air that produces snow and fog. I hear a car squealing behind me, Melanie's car. I run to stop her but she drives too fast and then here I am, crying all over again. I feel anger boils up inside me as I run to my room, again to grab my car keys and my coat. I grab my beer and get myself drunk while I'm driving through the driveway.

I need to beat the shit out of  Miles and his friends. Also Luke and Brodie if it's necessary. The prom is probably over, so, they must be having an after party somewhere. I drive to Miles' house and well, am I right. I get off the car and get inside the house. I walk up to where the guys hang, the kitchen. These bunch of douches are highschool kids and I'm not afraid to beat them all up. A couple guys call my name but I just ignore them and look for Miles. I feel anger all over me as I keep on scanning my face around the kitchen when I find him there, laying on the couch.

"Miles." I shout to him as he blows a puff of smoke.

"Niall, hey man! Sit down." He points me to the couch after him. The other guys stay still at the sight of me. I rush to Miles who is holding a bong in his mouth. I grab the tube and throw it on the ceiling, making it shatters. A couple of people gasps and flicker their attention to me. I grab the collar of his shirt, lifting him up and he shuts his eyes. "Come on, punch me." He challenges.
