MEANT TO BE?

Chapter twenty-four

MARISA'S POV

Lilly stayed with me the whole day. She wanted to make sure I didn't try to find any more things written about me. She even took my phone away to make sure I didn't check twitter.

"Lilly can I please have my phone back? I want to talk to Niall." I asked. I knew I wouldn't be able to get a hold of him. He was busy with interviews and stuff today. I just wanted to see if people were writing about me.

"Sorry, no can do missy." She replied flicking through channels on the television. I rolled my eyes at her and went back writing in my journal.

"How about we go out huh? We could call up the girls and all of us go out to dinner or something." Lilly suggested. It did sound like a good idea.

"Sure. I'll go give them a ring." I replied standing up and walking toward the kitchen.

We all agreed on meeting up at Starbucks for coffee. Lilly and I quickly changed into something more decent before heading out. Lilly slid into the drivers seat while rode shotgun.

"Here you go." Lilly said handig me my phone.

"Thank you, finally." I replied back.

"I just hope this will take your mind off of all this bloody nonsense." She muttered to herself. I knew she was trying to say it without me hearing it, but I did anyway. I didn't say anything though.

We soon pulled into the parking lot of starbucks. When we walked in, we immidietly saw Elenour, Perrie, and Danielle. The waved us over to them and we sat down.

"Hey guys, whats up?" Perrie asked once we had sat down.

We all talked for a while sipping away on our coffees. It was nice, nobody bothered us.

"Say, how about we all catch a movie?" Danielle suggested.

"We should go see The Call, that looks amazing." Eleanor added.

"Sounds fun." I replied.

We got up and headed out of the restraunt. Lilly and I pulled away in our car and planned on meeting the three other girls there.

When we pulled into the parking lot I sent El a text, letting her know we were there.

"They are almost here. Let's head inside and wait for them." I told Lilly.

We both got out of the car and headed in to wait for them. We weren't even in there for a minute before a group of girls, whom looked to be about sixteen maybe seventeen, walked up to us.

"Um, can I help you?" I asked.

"You think your so special?" The girl in the front spat at me.

"Lindsey, let's just go-" the younger girl started but was cut off by the elder girl.

"Shut-it Becca." She shot at her. The younger girl coward away from her.

"C'mon, let's go." Lilly whispered into my ear. I nodded my head at her and we stood up.

"Where do you think your going? I'm talking to you." She said.

"Well, I really don't care for what you have to say and our friends our here so we have to get going." I replied as nicley as I could. Luckily Perrie, El, and Danielle came walking through the doors.

"You think I care?" She asked sarcastically. She stepped in front of us, blocking our way from the three other girls. Before I could reply she started speaking again.

"Listen here you little hag, Niall would be so much better without you. So why don't you pack up your stuff and get out of his life you little whore. You don't deserve Niall." She spat at me. The one girl just smiled and laughed after she said that. The younger girl had a look of guilt on her face. I was left speachless. I have seen plenty of stuff like this directed towards me. But rarely hear it, let alone have it said to my face.

"Come on Marisa, let's just go." Lilly said pushing her way through the few girls, pulling me along with her.

"What's wrong, did those girls say something?" Perrie asked once we had reached them. I immidietly shook my head.

"No, no. Everything is all right." I said giving my best fake smile.

"Marisa-" Lilly started but I cut her off.

"I'll go get our tickets, I'll be right back." I said turnig and heading for the ticket booth. God I hope those girls aren't seeing the same movie.

ELEANOUR'S POV

Marisa looked hurt, I could tell. Why would she just shrug it off like that?

"I'll go get our tickets, I'll be right back." She said turning around and heading for the ticket booth.

"What did those girls say?" Danielle asked as soon as Marisa was out of hearing distance.

"It was mostly just the one girl, but she kept saying how Marisa wasn't good enough for Niall and how he would be better off without her. She also called her a whore." Lilly said infuriated. She looked over to where Marisa was currently standing with a pained expression.

"She has already been through enough. Her self-esteem is already low." She mumbled.

"What do you mean, already been through enough?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. Lilly just shook her head.

"I can't say. Maybe, when Mariaa is ready, she will tell you." She muttered. I just nodded in response.

"I can't believe that girl had the nerve to say that though. That is just horrid!" Perrie exclaimed. I agreed. Nobody has the right to talk to somebody like that.

"Niether can I. I hope something bad happens to her." Danielle added. We all nodded.

"Ssshhh! Here comes Marisa!" Perrie stated in a hushed tone.

"I got the tickets." Marisa said in a quiet tone.

"Great, lets go grab our seats then." Danielle stated cheerfully. She slung her arm around Marisa and Perrie's shoulders and started heading into the theater. I stopped Lilly before she could follow them. Once they were out of hearing distance, I focused my attention on her.

"Listen, I want to help Marisa just as much as you do ok, but what did you mean when you said that she had already been through enough?" I asked sternly. She let out a small sigh.

"Alright I will tell you, but later. I don't want anyone over hearing it alright?" She asked. I nodded at her and we both headed into the theater with the other girls. One question kept bugging me though, what is Mariaa hiding from us?
