Lily's POV
"I SAID DID HE DO THIS TO YOU" Harry screamed once we were in the car with the doors closed. He's shouting because I didn't answer him the first 4 times he asked politely. The question is referring to the stitches in my lip and black eyes.
"No..." I mumble, lying the best I can. Harry's just picked me up from the hospital. I phoned him because I didn't know who else to call, and I knew he'd be with the other boys. Louis, Liam and Niall will be just as annoyed as Harry is when they find out.
"Lily. I suggest you stop lying to me RIGHT. NOW. And admit it. Vince did this to you... Again. This is the 4th trip I've taken to collect you from the hospital in the last 3 months. Not to mention the 2 Louis has made, the 2 Liam has and the 3 Niall has done all already this year and were only in July! Why are you still with him?" Harry starts with the rant I can practically recite.
"He's never been any of the reasons you've collected me!" I cut him off, lying once again. I hate lying to Harry but I know he'll murder Vince if I tell the truth.
"And for the record I'm with him because I'm in love with him like he's in love with me"
"Oh stop lying to yourself Lily! You know he's cheating. EVERYONE DOES!"
"He is NOT CHEATING!!!" I screech at Harry.
"YES HE IS!!! HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE!!! HES SHAGGING ANYTHING WITH A FUCKING VAGINA LILY!!!"
"H-Harry you're scaring me..." I flinch away as he gets closer to my face with every word.
"Just drop it and drive to the Louis', I want to see the boys." I mumble looking away, I don't want him seeing me cry.
The whole drive home was silent, j tried putting the radio on but Harry switched it straight back off. As soon as we got to Louis', I got out the car, slammed the car door and stormed off before Harry could question me more. As soon as I got in to the other boys, Niall growled "I'm going to kill Vince" thinking I could hear but I could.
"Vince didn't do it! I slipped while cleaning my room and face planted the nightstand" I 'admitted'.
"Look we're not going to question you like we do every time one of us has to pick you up. It's becoming a routine and we're all bored of it. The carnivals in town, how about we all go out?" Liam smiles been sympathetic to my situation, as much as he hates Vince too, he's the only one who tries to avoid the topic for me.
"Okay" Harry smiled.
"I'll drive" Louis smiled. We all went out to Louis car and drove to the carnival. Thank god, something fun to do.
Once we got to the carnival everyone's moods changed. We were all happy and smiley. Even when fans approached they were so polite to me. I love when the boys meet fans. Most of them know me now so if they ask I get pictures with them too. After about 2 hours of goofing around and playing fair games, we went up to the hook-a-duck, but as soon as I got there, my smile dropped and I wasn't in the mood for fair games anymore. There he was, Vince, kissing none other than my best friend, Lucy.
"I can't believe either of you!" I screamed at them, "Lucy! You're my best friend! And Vince I thought you loved me." Vince walked forwards to grab my arm, "don't. Touch. Me." I spat, "we're over. And Lucy, delete my number, I hate you both." I ran off crying. Now I have to hear 'I told you so' from all the boys, they all knew Vince was cheating but I didn't believe them... I hate myself.
I could hear the boys shouting in the distance while running after me, but I was a sprinter in college, so I'm VERY fast. I kept running and running, as far from Vince and Lucy as I could. Then, when I was in the middle of a huge field the other side of town, I finally collapsed, sobbing, just hoping the ground would swallow me up. Why didn't I listen to my mind and chose Harry. Then maybe I wouldn't be in this mess.
