Chapter ten

Three...
Two...
One.

Niall rang the door and I let him in awkwardly. I knew what I had to do; even if it cost me my popularity and friends.

"I have to tell you something." I say sitting him down.

"Me too actually." He smiles warmly.

"Well I'll go first." Knowing that whatever he had to say would make me feel guilty about breaking up.

"No, please." Niall shushed me by opening a small box, "It's a promise ring."

"You're crazy." I close the box. We had only been dating for a month.

"Hear me out please." He laughed opening the box again.

It was a beautiful, delicate silver ring from Tiffany's with a ruby heart.

"It's not an engagement ring. Just that I promise to always be there for you and love you." He took my hand, "I love you, Scarlett."

"Niall." I sighed. This just confused everything even further. "I'll think about it. Tell you tomorrow at school."

As soon as he left I called Jenny and we talked about it for hours.
"I don't know... Is Harry willing to ever make a commitment like that?" she asked warily.

"I don't think so." I sighed. "I'll see you tomorrow."

The next day at school everyone was staring at me. News gets around so fast in this school it's beginning to impress me if I am being completely honest.

"So, Scar." Becca leant against the locker next to mine, "times ticking. Time to say yes."

"Alright that's enough!" I snapped. "This decision has nothing to do with you."

"Aw, that's adorable." She smiled patting my head. "Now don't fall out of line again."

"Or what?" I raised my voice slightly to her while she tried to walk away. A few people around us started to look at us. "When are you going to realise nobody likes you. You're a bitch!"

"What did you just call me?" her eyes widened to a crazy size. She was ready to explode.

"I know you heard me, Bitch." A few people gasped around us, "You just think that everyone will just bow before you but guess what, honey? We aren't in junior's school anymore!"

"You're just jealous." She rolled her eyes.

"And why would I?" I scoffed. "Have you seen me lately? I mean the hottest guy in school gave me a promise ring!"

I regretted saying those words as soon as they left my mouth as I saw Harry walking away. At that moment I was so wrapped up with Becca I forgot about Harry. I tried to go to him and break away from the crowd but I couldn't. All I did was watch him walk away.

"Oh no." Becca smirked. That was the last straw and I slapped her. "I basically handed you all of this on a gold platter and this is how you repay me?" she yelled pushing me against the lockers.

I grabbed her by the collar and pushed her against the lockers but she held onto my hair throwing us both onto the ground. She began throwing punches at me and I began to black out. The last thing I remember was Niall breaking through and peeling Becca off me as Jenny and Emily helped me up. Then Jenny yelled at Becca.

"You're done at this school."

My eyes fluttered open to see Niall stroking the hair out of my face sighing.

"Ni?" I asked.

"You're awake!" He smiled hugging me. I knew I hurt Harry but a small part of me wanted him to be here waiting for me to wake up.

"Yes." I cried.

"What's wrong." He handed me a tissue for my tears.

"I love you, Niall." I admitted. Was it possible to love two people? But more importantly, is it possible to bottle up your love?

"I love you too, Scarlett." We hugged and kissed briefly before he gave me the ring.

It felt cold and wrong on my finger but I was Niall's girlfriend. I loved him and he loved me. Why did I want to throw it all away for Harry so badly?

"I have to do something though." I pecked him on the lips before making my way to the biology room and texted Harry to meet me there.

"I'm sorry." I said looking down at my fingers.

"I knew deep down you would chose him." He sighed kicking the ground. "Just do one thing for me?"

"Anything." I looked into his shady, green eyes.

"Kiss me." He pleaded, "I won't tell anyone I promise. Just one kiss."

I nodded leaning in. Tears spilled my eyes as our eyes as he leant in. His lips tasted bitter yet sugary. It started off short and sweet but then he deepened it lead me to sit on the table without disconnecting our lips. He placed himself between both of my legs. My hands went through his hair as he began sucking on my neck.

I stopped him and looked into his eyes before kissing him shortly and softly on his lips.

"Goodbye, Harry." I said hoping down from the table.
