Love is Bitter the Second Time Around [Ziall Trilogy]

Chapter Six: Second That Motion

"Zayn, do you want to talk?" Selena asked me putting her hand on my shoulder. "No." I mumbled, and put my head back down. This lunchroom was so noisy, I couldn't even hear myself think. That was all I only want to do. "Zayn, you can't keep being like this." Selena advised. "Yes I can. I can do whatever I want." I replied back.

She sighed. "Come on." she got up, and grabbed me trying to get me to stand. "What?" I said, not budging. "We're going to get you fixed up, now get up." she stated. I didn't want to go anywhere, but she can be so persuasive through her voice. I stood up and she pulled me outside. "What are we doing here? It's cold. I want to go back-" I was trying to say, but she stopped me. "Zayn, stop complaining." she stated. I stood there looking at her in shock.

I wanted to say something but she pulled me along until we reached another building. It was where our auditorium was located. "Why are you taking me to this place." I said looking around the large empty room. "You'll see." she dragged me onto the stage. She took a step back from me. "What now?" I asked.

"Say what you want to say. Shout it out, sing, do whatever." she stated. I hesitated, why would I do that? That sounds stupid. "Come on. Just do it. It'll make you feel better." she suggested. Okay fine, what the hell, I had no other choice to turn to now. I took a deep breath and began to just scream at the top of my lungs. My voice echoed through the room, and it projected right back at me. I liked that feeling. So, I tried it again. This time it was joined with Selena's shout.

I turned to face her with a confused look on my face. She smiled at me. "Doesn't it feel much better?" she asked me. Yes, I felt more free after letting it out in a different way other than crying. "Yes." I answered, but I also had a question. "How come here though?" I asked. She sat down on the floor, and I took a seat next to her. "Well, this was actually the first place Justin and I met." she started, "and when we broke up, I had no where to go. So I came back here." she said. What a strange thing to do. Going back to the place that is the cause of what you are hurting from. "You might think it's stupid, but when I came back here, I could shout everything out. I felt like if I yelled here, it would be like yelling at Justin." she explained.

Well that made more sense to me now. "So, do you still like him?" I asked her. She turned to look at me in the eyes. "No, I don't like him anymore. I'm over it now." she said. I looked down at my hands. I don't know if I can get over Niall. Selena placed her hand over my shoulder. "It'll be okay." she said. I smiled at her.

Selena stayed with me as school ended and everyone was dismissed. "I just can't believe you broke up with him though." she said as we walked down the empty hallway. "I thought you guys were so good together." I thought we were good together, too.

We walked out of the building. "Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow, then." Selena said. "Bye." I muttered, and watched her go off in another direction. I turned around another corner and to the parking lot. That night, more thoughts filled my mind. It's been a week since breakup and I haven't seen Niall. He hasn't been going to any of our classes.

"I hope your happy." Justin called from behind me. I turned around. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. "You fucking broke Niall's heart." he said. "What the fuck are you talking about." I shouted. "He's been so sad ever since you dumped him. He couldn't eat or sleep for the past few days." Justin stated. I was so angry at Justin, I didn't want to talk to him, but he said Niall couldn't eat. Niall always ate.

"Well yeah? Why are you even talking to me. I thought you'd be happy that we split." I shouted. I could see him ball up a fist. "Why would I be happy? Yeah, I like Niall, but he doesn't even like me that way." he said. "Then why else would you guys be fucking behind my back." I said.
