Skinny Love

Chapter 16 - "Tell them we're dating"

Izzie's POV

BANG BANG BANG,

I was wearing a baggy t-shirt and sweats, I had changed and thrown my hair up, my glasses were on my face and I didn't exactly know who would be banging at my door at half past 2 in the morning but I had an idea.

"Who is it?" I croaked,

"Let me in"

"No Niall go home, take a shower"

"Just fucking let me in" I unlocked the door and opened it; he was slumped against my doorframe, his expression was angry, like he couldn't even look at me.

"What?" He walked straight by me, standing in the hall as I shut the door,

"Truth"

"What?"

"Tell me the truth"

"What do you mean tell you the truth?"

"Do you care?"

"About what?" I looked at the floor,

"Tell me, tell me the truth, shout, scream just fucking tell me the truth for God sake"

"I don't care"

"You're lying Izzie, fucking tell me!"

"What do you want me to say? It hurt me to see you with someone else? It hurt that when I wasn't there that's what you fucking do? You want me to get angry when you fuck someone else? You want me to scream and shout and push you" I hit him in the chest and he stumbled backwards "Is this what you want from me? To be that girl? You want me to throw a fit when you're single when we aren't together? You want me to stand here and tell you the fucking truth? You fucking tell me the truth" I screamed, my breathing was ragged and the rage was boiling through me how dare he.

"Izzie for fucks sake, I didn't fuck her in the bathroom, Christ, is that how little you fucking think of me? I don't want you to lie to me, you know I don't like it when you snog someone in front of me but here you are; you've well and truly outdone yourself"

"No, don't you dare turn this around on me! So what did you do then? Quick finger and a blow job? Real fucking classy! I'm not asking you for anything, I haven't asked you to stay, I never asked you to take care of me, I don't ask you to come round, I'm not needy, I'm not that girl, I'm the girl you call when you're bored of being alone and you want affection that's all I am"

"Izzie are you fucking kidding!"

"That's the problem Niall, I want it all but you can't give me that, Jesus Christ we're friends, you don't do relationships, you don't do any of it, you don't care, so just fucking leave"

"You're kicking me out?"

"You came here for me to scream and shout that I fucking care, well there you go, you have that, you have it, you have me screaming at you how much I do fucking care"

"Screw you Izzie" he pushed past me and flung the door open,

"Move" I heard him say when I turned to face the door, Ryan, Jade, Addie, Harry and Liam were all stood there staring at me,

"How long have you been there?"

"We heard everything" Liam shrugged,

"I'm going to bed"

"Lads, let's go get him" Ryan sighed.

"I-I"

"Ssh" Jade said wrapping her arms around me,

"Sleepover" Addie whispered and we all went to my room crawling into my bed,

"So you like him then?" Jade whispered,
