My eyes are no longer stinging. I just feel...angry. I don't feel bad for what I said to Camryn, she deserved it. It's 11:00, "Great". I have school tomorrow, and I have to walk home. I'm not sure how, considering my sister drove on the highway. I can't even call Kendall, she's probably sleeping. I stop walking and take a look around. "Always be aware of your surroundings." my moms voice echos in my head. I haven't talked to her since I left for school this morning. She probably had to work late or something. 

I've barely made it out of the mall parking lot and I'm exhausted, and cold. I remember how Niall's teeth chatter when he gets cold...and I always make fun of him. Niall. The fight replays through my head a hundred times. "I have my secrets too." I don't even know what he meant by that. I tell Niall everything, I have nothing to hide. Whatever, there's nothing I can do about it now. As I'm walking I see a bright set of lights behind me. I secretly hope it's Camryn. The car starts to slow down, and I start to walk faster. Please do not let my night end like this.

The car catches up to me, and the window rolls down. "Slow down Brie!" a familiar voice calls. I turn to see the gray eyes meet mine. "Micah, thank god." I think outloud. "What the hell are you doing out here?" I'm trying to find an excuse, but my mind is blank. "It's a long story." I finally say. "Just get in before you get kidnapped or something." he says. I get in the car in silence, not sure what to say. "You're lucky I work up here, otherwise you would have been screwed." he adds. "Thanks, I appreciate it." I say sincerely. I really am lucky he showed up. If not...I don't want to even think what could have happened. "Drop you off at home?" he asks. "Yeah, thanks." I reply. He smiles and nods in reply. 

The drive home was quicker then I expected. I didn't even notice that I fell asleep on the way here. "Brie? Wake up, we're here." he says softly. "Thanks again Micah, drive home safely." I reply. Camryn's car isn't in the driveway as I walk to the front door. I guess that visit was cut short. But mom's car is here. I unlock the door and go straight to my bedroom. I don't care about changing, I just want to sleep. It's almost 1 A.M. and I have to get up in less than 6 hours. 

The alarm goes off, scaring me, causing me to fall off the bed. "Seriously?!" I scream, sitting up. My mom opens the door, see's me on the floor and laughs. "You're up early, it's only 6:30. Go ahead and take your shower. Breakfast will be ready soon." she says closing the door. I never get up this early. I look around for my Forever 21 bag and realize I left it in Micah's car.  I would have never worn half of that stuff anyways. I can just get it from Kendall today. I take off the clothes from last night and head into the shower. I'll pick out something when I come out. After what feels like an hour, I finally step out of the shower to see that it's only 6:55. 1 new message pops up on my screen. "Good morning, beautiful." it reads. It's from that damn number again. Enough is enough. "Meet me in the gym, during lunch." I reply. 

I apply a light shade of pink eyeshadow, mascara and eye liner, with a hint of "Cotton Candy Crush" lipgloss and head to my closet. It's a sunny day outside, which puts me in the mood to wear my chevron blue and white strapless dress with blue sandals. I put my hair up in a bun and add a simple pair of pearl earrings. I check my phone and I have plenty of time to eat breakfast.As I walk downstairs, my heart drops when Niall isn't there. A part of me wished he was. A huge part...

"Have you seen Cam?" my mom asks. I haven't seen Camryn since last night. I'm sure she's fine. "Uh, nope. Not since yesterday." I say smoothly as I eat my breakfast. Mom is such a great cook, the day is looking better already. My mom and I head out around 7:30 leaving me plenty of time to get to school. I walk in the building feeling...good. Despite all the drama that went down in the past 24 hours, I feel as if I look nice, which boosts my confidence as I walk through the halls. I turn the corner to see Aspen and Kendall talking at the end of the hall. She looks upset, and he looks amused...as always. I'll see what that's about later. I look down to check the time on my phone and bump into someone. "Sorry about that." I say looking up and stare into the face of Niall. Not my Niall, but one that looks like he's seen a ghost. I guess he was trying to avoid me today, and if so, I've ruined that plan. "It's cool" he murmurs, looking down and walking away. 

That feeling of confidence I had 5 minutes ago has disappeared. I just want Niall to talk to me, acknowledge my existence...something. It's 8:10 now, and I have to head to class. I'll try to talk to him later. I have to fix this.
