Complicated

Chapter 18

When it's time, we go back into his car and drive to meet Niall. I'm honesty so excited. Here I am, moving on from Erich and with this amazing new guy who I can't even look at without smiling. He's just too damn perfect. When we get to the place, the sky is darkening at a faster pace. Even with my jacket on, the air is frigid. I try to halt my teeth from chattering as we walk from the car to the entrance. The leaves crunch under our feet with each step. As much as I love the fall leaves and Halloween, I hate the cold. As the thought is fresh in my mind, Harry's arm wraps around my and I lean close to him.

"Niall said he's by the entrance Tor."

"Okay." I smile with excitement. As we reach the entrance, we look around for Niall's blonde hair. I point when I spot the Irish boy standing in the front of a crowd that seems to be mustered into an off-shapen line. He comes off the line and turns to us with a smiles as his eyes see us. He walks towards us and a girl comes into vision as he does.

"Hey guys! This is Bethany." She waves happy. They seem like a mirror of each other; so happy and upbeat.

"Nice to meet you, Bethany. I'm Victoria." I smile and look at Harry. His face is blank. I nudge him.

"Hi Bethany." He turns and takes my hand to lead me to the gates when a separate line of people with tickets has formed.

"That was rude. What's the matter?" I kiss him on the cheek to try to soften him.

"Nothing. I just didn't know she was bringing 'her'." He emphasizes her and a shiver crawls down my spine. I try to not make it noticeable.

"What do you mean?" I stare at him with confusion.

"Nothing. I just want to enjoy this night..with you." He smiles and reminds me.

"Good." I smile. As he turns his face, he freezes. My smile disappears again. I try to look in the direction he's looking in but he turns my head to face him quick. His hand on my chin, I am looking straight at him, frustration and confusion are fighting for a spot in my head right now.

"What is wrong with you?" Are the first words to leave my mouth. I say them soft with no aggression behind them.

"Nothing." He says fast. He holds my hand again and twirls us to face Niall and Bethany. He goes behind me and wraps his arms around me as Niall describes his past experiences here. I look up at him. He's right; I should just be enjoying my time with him.

"You know what they do to you in here, right Tor?" Harry smirks.

"No..what?" He lifts me up and I cover my mouth to muffle my scream. It still drags attention. As he spins me, my eyes open wide to the sight of a familiar but unwanted face. Not here. Not now. It's a face of a traitor. That I don't want to see right now or let back into my life. A blonde moves from behind the boys shadow and his face of fear is accompanied by a girl's wicked smirk. My heart drops deeper to the pit of my stomach.

Erich and Toni. Why. Why now. Harry pauses from spinning me as I stop screaming and my expressions have completely been erased. He looks in the direction I'm looking in and immediately knows when the guy of my recent past is walking towards us.

"Vicky? Really?" He looks at me hurt but I'm not focused on him. Instead I'm focused on a girl in the distance pointing in my direction, laughing with a girl in a costume with a large enough space open for my to see her belly button piercing.

Small update bc I haven't had much time. I love how people are kind of foreshadowing though! Keep it up because it might.......anyway I love you guys! Bye!
