Be More Realistic

New Girl

After I got ready this morning, I called Chad. "Hello babe?" he slurred.

"Hey Chad, I was just telling you that you can't come over tonight. Are you drunk?"

"You would know baby, you have me the beers."

What does he mean? I haven't seen him for two days.

"What do you mean, Chad?"

"Well, just yesterday me and you got down, then you gave me beer for my business."

What the heck is he talking about?

"What are you talking about Chad? I haven't seen you for two days."

"Emma, you just saw me? Do I mean nothing to you?"

It all clicks now. Him getting drunk at some girls club, probably Emma. Him calling me "Em". Him coming here sober to make up for the fact that he's cheating on me. I was so stupid.That little two timing jerk.

"This is Amanda, your girlfriend? Oh yeah, you don't mean anything to me whatsoever anymore. I have been completely loyal to you and you go out cheating with some Barbie named Emma. What is she, triple A cup? Or are they just as plastic as Barbies? I don't care though, because I don't need you. Have a nice life Chad."

I hung up. Funny, I don't even feel anything. I don't need Chad. I knew it was coming, now I just have an excuse to break up with him. But now Harry and I can actually go out. IF he likes me. I switched on the TV.

"Harry Styles seen kissing his new girlfriend, Lilly Shirley, we assume. This morning we caught a couple of photos of him holding hands, hugging, and kissing this attractive model. Will this couple last? We will update you next time on What's Now!"

Really? This is great. A new girl that's prettier then me! Just when I thought I was actually admitting to myself that I like him. He said he doesn't like fakes. Maybe I should wash out the dye, just to impress him. I call Liam, I don't know why, but I have a feeling me and him would become good friends. I got his number after the interview yesterday.

"Liam? Hey, I'm feeling kind of lonely. Would you mind coming over?"

"Sure. What's wrong, you sound kind of down."

"I'll tell you when you get here. Do you know where I live?"

"Harry's told me, what apartment number?"

"W23, that's the twenty third floor and apartment 23."

"Okay, see you soon."

After waiting about ten minutes watching the recent Pretty Little Liars, there's a knock on my door. I open it to reveal a worried Liam.

"Hey, so what happened? You sounded upset."

"Well, two things just happened. First, I called Chad finding out he's cheating on me and, two, Harry got a girl just when I think I might like him. This is very confusing, Liam. Should I just give up on him and find a new guy, or make him jealous or something?"

"I think he was trying to make YOU jealous."

"Really? Why do you think that?"

"Because he obviously likes you."

"He flirts with me, but he doesn't actually like me ."

"I beg to differ."

"Whatever. So have you met this girl?"

"Why are you so focused on Harry? Your boyfriend-"

"EX-boyfriend."

"Ex-boyfriend just cheated on you."

"I was waiting for a chance to break up with him anyway, I don't care."

"Oh. Why'd you date him then?"

"I thought he was different, but he's not."

"Oh. And, yes, I have met her. She seems to be hiding something."

"Like what?"

"A secret. Like she has another guy or something, or she just wants money."

"Yeah. I want to meet her, and rub it in his face that I'm single and he lost his chance."

"Yeah." He kind of looked a little sad.

"You okay, Liam?"

"Yeah, it's just, when Danielle broke up with me, I thought it would be easy to replace her. It's not. No girls want to be with me. It's alway Zayn, or Harry. Never me."

"Awe, Liam, lots of girls out there want to be with you. Did you know when One Direction first came out, I was a Liam girl?"

"Really? You seem like a Harry girl!"

"I never really was one. I tried to focus on the ones that didn't get as much attention."

"That's nice."

"Yeah, I guess. Anyway, on a totally different note, should I dye my hair back to my natural colour?"

"I think it would look nice. You always look stunning."

I blush madly. "Thanks, Liam. Want to order pizza?"

"YES! I'm starving!"

I grab my phone and dial a pizza place, ordering one large meat lovers pizza with garlic bread. After we eat, Liam goes home and I lay in bed, thinking about Harry.
