Chapter 26

Vallory POV

"Come on, Skinny Love, just last the year.." My phone blared out. I checked the time, and groaned. It was, 12:00 pm. "Hello?" I answered, slightly annoyed. "Well, hello to you too, Mrs. Grumpy Pants." The person said. "Billy!" I shouted, waking up a sleeping Dakota next to me. "That's better." He replied, making me giggle. Billy was my best guy friend. Unfortunatly, we lost contact after junior year of high school, and I missed him deeply. "How how you been? It's been forever!" I gushed. Dakota sat up, rubbing sleep from her eyes as I put the phone on speaker. "I've been good. Listen, i'm in town and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out? I'm bored, and obviously have no friends." He proposed. "Sounds good, but i'm with Dakota and." He cut me off. "DAKOTA! Oh mer god! We can all hang out!" He squealed. "Calm your tits boy! Where do we meet you at, and when?" He told us the time and place. We were to meet at 1 o'clock at Jefferson's Park. I scrolled through my phone to see if I had any notifications. None. Sighing, I jumped into the shower. After my refreshing shower, I scrunched my hair, then got dressed. Clipping my now dry bangs into a quiff, I hairsprayed them, then walked out to a fully dressed Dakota. We walked out to the car and drove off to Jefferson's Park.

When we arrived, Billy was sat at the fountain and was constantly checking his phone. We got out of the car and walked over to him. "Billy!" I screamed. "ValPal!" He screamed back, running towards us, developing me in a hug. "You got taller!" I said, backing away from him, bending my head back to get a better look at him. "You just got shorter." He said, resting his arm on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and threw his arm off me. "Hey Dakota!" Billy squealed, again. Wrapping her in a hug, she squeezed him back. "Geez, Billy, did you turn gay or something?" Dakota asked. She had no idea. I bursted into laughter as Billy glared at me. "Billy is gay!" I said, sobering up my laughter. "Oh, yeah! I remember you telling me now!" She said. Billy glared at me and I smirked. "Let's go be adventurous!" I said, grabbing both, Billy's and Dakota's hands. I heard shutter sounds, but I brushed it off as I skipped, dragging Billy and Dakota with me. I Checked my phone again to see if I had any new messages from Niall. Disappointed, I shut off my phone and shoved it in my pocket. "I'm tired." Dakota whined. We had been running around the park for at least two hours now, and I was getting tired too. "Yeah, me too. Let's walk to Starbucks!" I suggested. "You still like Starbucks?" Billy asked, curiously. "Duh! And it's your fault! You showed it to me." I said, pointing an accusing finger in his direction. He put his up in surrender. "Alright. Let's go." He said. I grabbed his and Dakota's hand and we began walking to Starbucks. I lived for Starbucks. I don't know why, but it's like my favorite hangout spot. After much skipping, and loud singing later, we arrived at the infamous Starbucks. I ordered my drink, as Dakota and Billy grabbed seats. I told Billy about Niall and how we were close friends with One Direction. Dakota told him about Zayn as he stared at us in disbelief. "That's awesome! You're so lucky! Harry's my favorite. His dimples and his eyes. Oh his eyes." Billy gushed. We just laughed at him, and he glared at us. "Let's head home. My phone's dying and i'm tired of walking around." Dakota said, holding up her almost dead phone. "Billy, wanna come with us?" Dakota asked, getting up. He agreed and we walked back to the cars. He was going to follow us to the house, instead of meeting us there. I started the car and drove off, with Billy following. Pulling up into the driveway, I shut off the ignition and got out, turning my phone on in the process. I opened my door to my laptop making noises. Niall wanted to Skype? I ran to my computer and accepted the call. 

Niall POV

I layed on the couch and scrolled through my Twitter feed. My heart dropped at the image infront of me.

Vallory, cheating on band member Niall Horan?

The header read. Underneath was a picture of Vallory, hugging some guy at a park.She's cheating on me? No, she wouldn't. The next few pictures were of her, holding hands with the guy. There had to be some explanation. I texted her earlier today, but she never messaged back. I assumed she was busy or her phone was off, so I called her. Voicemail. It didn't even ring. Sighing, I sent her a message, telling her to get on Skype. It rang and rang, and rang. Then her face finally popped up. 

"Hey baby!" She said through the camera. Her smiled dropped when she saw my angry expression. She sat down, as the picture guy came up next to her. Anger, rose even higher than it did when she answered. The prick was in my house? I looked to her and to Prick, waiting for an explanation. When one didn't come, I started.  "Something going on here that I should know about?" Confusion filled her face as she looked at me. "What are you.." I cut her off. "Because it sure looks like something is going on." I spat. "I texted you. 10 times. I called you. You never answered. Where the hell have you been?" I raised my voice. "I was at the park, with Billy and Dakota, then we went to Starbucks. My phone was off, i'm sorry." She said. I shook my head in disbelief. She was scared. "Don't give me that shit. I know what's going on here. Check twitter. She pulled out her phone and began scrolling. Her eyes widened. She looked at me with amusemet in her eyes. I wan't finding this funny, at all. "Niall I can.." I cut her off. "Save it. I dont want to hear you excuses. I hope he makes you happier than I ever did. Have fun with him. I hate you." I spat, tears stinging my eyes as I exited out of the call. What did I just do?

Vallory POV 

Did he just break up with me? Crying? That was an understatement. I was bawling my eyes out. My knees hit the floor as I rolled up in  a ball and bawled. He hated me? Dakota came up behind me and tried holding me. I just pushed her away and ran up the steps, into my room. I ran to the bathroom and grabbed the blade that was forever lying above my cabinet. I should've listened to the fans when they told me I wasn't good enough for him. I locked the bathroom door and rolled up my sleeves. I was worthless. Weak. Ugly. Not good enough. I watched as the blood drained down the sink, making little red puddles on the way. I bawled my eyes out. Not only at the pain, but the fact that he hated me. He lied? Why would he lie to me? Another blood rush filled the sink. After a few more cuts, I soaked up the blood in a towel, and washed the remaining blood down the sink. I pulled my sleeve back down and unlcoked the bathroom door. I walked out to see Billy and Dakota sitting on my bed. Four words. Four syllabols. 10 letters. Instantly drawing me towards her and drying my tears. Leaving me intruged and impatient as they slipped off her tounge.

"I have a plan."
