Unpredicted Revenge- Chapter 17

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1 Week Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ariel's POV:

It's been a week since I found out Taylor is dating Harry, and to be honest we get along quite well. I know it's weird because usually the ex girlfriend is supposed to hate the new girlfriend, but we get along. I think it has to do with the fact that no one knew that Harry and I dated. I won't lie, I miss my Haz. Well at least the Haz I grew to know. The Haz I believe is the real one.

Just as I promised, I have not spoken or been in the same room as Haz besides when we rehearse. Besides those times, I avoid him. Even if the lads invited me to go out with them, I would reject their offers. Why? Because of him. If I say that I finally got over him, I'd be lying to myself. I still very much love Harry. That means that whenever I see him out with Taylor, it hurts. I mean she's my friend and all, but it hurts seeing them together. Luckily no one has noticed one bit that I'm upset. Maybe it has to do with the fact that they are all busy hating Taylor. They as in Liam, Louis, Niall, and Zayn.

It's quite funny actually. As soon as she leaves to go somewhere with Harry, they start making faces and imitating her. It's quite rude, but also funny. I never join in with the teasing. Why? Because like I said she's my friend. We've gone shopping together and just pretty much got to know each other. I remember that also 4 days ago she took me to a LA Kings hockey game.

Flashback

"Taylor, are you sure about this? I mean I have a concert in 4 days. I don't think it'd be a good idea if we flew to LA to see a hockey game," I said while getting into the cab outside our hotel in New York.

"Yes I'm sure Ariel. Plus I've cleared it with management. They were surprised, but they still agreed with our outing. They said as long as we are back here in New York by tomorrow afternoon, then we are all good. Plus there's no turning back now Ariel," Taylor said with a pointed look.

"That's true, Tay. Fine. As long as you don't get me lost on this trip, we are all good." We just laughed and continued with our small talk. When we reached the airport there were no fans because no one knew we were going to LA. Well no one except the lads. We rode Tay's private jet to LA. Eventually Tay fell asleep on the flight, so I decided to just listen to music.

The first song that popped up was When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne. Wow, it's been awhile since I last listened or heard this song. Last time I did the song was during one of our very first tour rehearsals. I had recalled many things I did with Pen that day. I miss her a lot, but every success that I have I thank her. If she hadn't pushed me to get into the talent show, then I would've never even had everything I have today. I would've never reunited with Harry and Cher. I would've never met my 4 new brothers, Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn. I would've never met my real parents.

I always wonder if that's a good thing. I sometimes find myself thinking how different my life would be if I still believed that lie. I would probably live in fear of my supposedly father wanting to kill me. I wonder what my nanny would've done to me. Maybe she would've continued to be the loving mother she was, or maybe she would've eventually killed me because I was too much of a risk.

I turned towards where Tay was asleep and tears filled my eyes when I saw her. I like her a lot. She's a really great friend. I'd never do anything to hurt her. At least not intentionally. She's like that with me as well. She hasn't purposefully hurt me. It was unintentional. I mean no one really knew that Harry and I were dating so it wasn't her fault. Although she still hurts me every day. Not exactly her, but her relationship. I want that to be me in Harry's arms. I want to be seen outside in public with him on dates. I want to act like that adorable cliché couple everyone envies.

Beautiful People by my very own Brat played next, and I quietly sung along to it. Why? Because if I sang any louder I might end up crying, again, or I might wake up Tay.

Beautiful People

It's my last big breath what you want me to do?
When you act all cool like you already knew
then I’ll be stuck here cold, just waiting it through
'till your heart starts beating for that somebody new

You know that it's true
Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
and it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
and it's beautiful people like you, who make me cry
'cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you

It's a wicked game that you making me play (making me play)
Where I crawl back home as your walking away (hey, hey)
then it's all quiet clear what you want me to say? (what you want me to say)
But you'll be so long gone if I ask you to stay

You know that it's true

Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
and it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
and it's beautiful people like you, who make me cry
cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you

It's my last big breath, what you want me to do
When you act all cool, like you already knew

Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
and it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
and it's beautiful people like you, who make me cry
cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you

Nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you, as you.

It really is beautiful people like Taylor that suck the life right out of my heart. It pains me to see her so happy with Harry, but I will never do anything to separate them. That would just be selfish and inconsiderate of me, plus I might even push Harry even more away if I do anything to damage his relationship. He will think that I'm just jealous and am trying to separate them. I decided to take a nap instead of over thinking everything.

I ended up waking up 10 minutes before we arrived in LA. I noticed Taylor was already up, and she was scrolling through her phone. Probably looking for a different song to play since she had her headphones in. I saw the seatbelt light flash, and I quickly put it on. Tay noticed I was awake, and gave me a smile and waved. I smiled stupidly, made a silly face, and waved back. She laughed and said from across the aisle, "Ariel, I can see why the lads were sad when they found out I was abducting you for 2 days. You are quite silly."

I flashed a cheeky smile and said, "Yup! Psh I know they will miss me. They will especially miss my cooking." We both laughed at that and just continued to talk to each other from across the aisle.

As soon as we landed, I grabbed my bag from the seat next to me and hid my hair under my beanie and put on my sunglasses. Tay did the same, and together we made our way off the plane. Outside, I stretched before we were hustled in to a waiting car.

"Ariel, we'll be going to my place since it is 8:30 A.M. here in LA. We have 9 hours until the actual hockey game starts, so we can just relax and sleep until then."

"Sure Tay. As long as we don't miss our flight at midnight, then everything is all good."

"Ariel you're always worried about being on time."

"That's why I'm called Mummy Direction!" I gave her a cheeky smile at the end.

Until the game started we did sleep. We had 4 hours until we had to leave for the game, Tay called and spoke to Harry over the phone. 10 minutes into the call, which I was in her kitchen to avoid eavesdropping, I received a call as well. I smiled at the caller ID before answering. I heard echoes in the background so I knew I was on speaker.

(A= Ariel, Li= Liam, Lo= Louis, N= Niall, Z= Zayn)

A: Ello losers!

Lads: Hey! We aren't losers!

A: Haha. I know. *cheeky smile*

N: I can already picture her cheeky smile after what she just said.

I rolled my eyes after hearing this, but still remained smiling.

Z: And I can already imagine her rolling her eyes, but still smiling after what you just said Nialler.

All: *laughing*

A: Yeah yeah.

Li: Anyways...

Lo: How was the flight?

A: You sound eager Lou. Haha.

Lo: Well we want to know how the trip is with the she-demon.

A:*scolding voice* Louis! Don't call her that! She's actually really sweet and friendly.

Z: No she's not. She's evil and always hogging Harry from us.

N: Yeah. The looks that they give each other is sickening.

Li: I have to agree with them. We don't like the way she is. We haven't had a proper amount of time to spend time with Harry.

I thought about what they said and I realized something. I did that with Harry too. Except the only difference is that we would invite them out with us.

A: You really think that? *trying to not sound sad*

Lo: Well yeah. He's always taking her out and rarely leaves time for us.

A: Well my flight was great. We made small talk for the first hour, and spent the remaining 6 hours sleeping. Look lads I've got to go. Bye.

Li: Wait! A, is something wrong?!

A: Everything's just dandy. Goodbye.

*End of Call*

I walked out of the kitchen and made my way upstairs to the spare bedroom. As I passed the living room Tay seemed to have noticed something was wrong because she quickly told Harry she had to go. As soon as I made it to the spare room, I flopped myself on the bed. I didn't bother closing the door because I knew Tay would force me to open it anyways.

I felt the bed dip next to me, and I knew Tay was sitting there. "Hey Ariel. Anything wrong?"

"Everything is just dandy Tay. Don't worry." My voice came out muffled by the pillow.

"Ariel, that may slide by with the guys, but if you haven't noticed I'm a girl. I know something's wrong. Now come on. Spill."

I giggled at her forwardness and sat up on the bed. I couldn't tell her what the lads said, so I decided to talk to her about what else was bothering me.

"It's just that about a week and a half ago my boyfriend broke up with me. He was honestly everything that I've ever wanted. He told me while we were going out that he loved me. Just one day out of the blue, he decided we needed a break. I don't understand why. We were so happy together. Then he told me that I was useless, and other harmful things. It's just that I'm confused as to if he was lying to me this entire time, or if he was lying to me when we broke up. He got a new girlfriend last week."

"I don't see the problem in this Ariel. Well besides the fact that he lied to you."

"Tay, I still love him. That's the problem. I see him happy with his new girlfriend, and it hurts. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her or anything. She's actually really sweet and friendly. I got to meet her the other day. It's just that I wish I was the one that still made him that happy."

"I'm sorry to hear that Ariel, but I didn't know that you had a boyfriend...?"

"We kept it a secret. We didn't want our fans to make a big deal out of it."

"Ah ok. Well this is the only thing I have to offer, make him jealous. Get a new boyfriend."

"What?! I don't want to use anyone Tay."

"You won't be using them. Maybe you might even end up falling for this new guy. Then you will know whether you really did love him, or if it was just an infatuation."

"That's true. Is there another option?"

"Well..."

"Come on Tay, spill! Don't leave me hanging!"

"Well you can always get your revenge through music. I mean I always do that."

I thought about this for a moment. I do already have 3 singles made from the break up and the way Harry acts. I mean I just need to find 5 more songs so I can finish off the tour with them. I'll figure out the songs later.

"And the best apart about no one knowing who your ex boyfriend is, that it’s easier to pull off. Especially if you don't give out any names."

"Alright Tay. I'll do it."

"Perfect! What songs are you planning to do?"

I sung my 3 singles to her and she said those were perfect. She also added that they were great. Together we searched 5 other songs. By the time we were done, we had to get ready to leave for the hockey game. Tay surprised me with a LA Kings jersey. I hugged her and said thanks. Once she left I started to get ready for the game.

As soon as I had a quick shower and changed into my LA Kings jersey and black leather pants with my brown ankle boots, I brushed out my hair and styled it so the waves would be noticeable. My phone started The Hunger Games ringtone. It was my FaceTime ringtone. I placed my iPhone on a stand so it was facing me. I answered the call without looking at who it was and started to do my makeup. I brought a small bag with 2 outfits in it since I was coming with Tay. I made sure to pack my songbook, Star, and my makeup.
