“It’s Devin.”

Liam, at first, looks at me confused. Then, he begins to understand.

“Are you sure?” He asks, quieter. I just nod.

“It’s him and his brother. That’s the guy on the phone calls.” I answer. Now it was his turn to nod.

“Should we tell Danielle?” He asks, worriedly. I nod frantically. Oh hell no we aren’t telling her!

“No no no no no no no! Not to sound selfish or anything but if he finds out she knows, he’ll come after me… or worse… you.” I look at the ground, then up and Liam. His eyes fully of happiness, but worry. He pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead. He whispers in my ear, “Thank you.”

Danielle’s POV:

I look back just in time. Ugh! That bitch. She has my boyfriend wrapped around her finger. And little does she know is that I heard everything they were just talking about. About Devin. About the calls. Wow. I didn’t know a guy could be capable of doing all that. Is it weird that it turns me on? ‘Cause it does! What she, let alone everyone, doesn’t know is that I’m the jealous type. And the revenge seeking type. So this should be fun!

Liam’s POV:

I honestly can’t believe this. This fucker is ruining everything. I now have to protect Kati and Danielle!

But now that Danielle is on the topic, what about us? Is it weird that I haven’t really thought about here that much in the past couple of months? Hmmmmmm. Oh well. I think I still love her.

We arrive at the mall, fans surrounding the car every which way. We step out and take a few photos and sign a few autographs. We make our way inside and begin shopping.

“I want fooodddddddd” Niall whines. We all laugh.

“I’ll take him to the food court, you all go ahead and shop.” Kati says with a smile on her face, making her 10 times more beautiful. I think Danielle notices me staring with a goofy smile and clings onto my arm, laying her head on my shoulder.

Kati and Niall walk away laughing, making me so jealous. I feel Danielle tighten and whisper in my ear.

“I’m going to use the restroom.” She lets go and walks away towards the bathroom by the food court, catching up with Kati and Niall. I smile at the mention of Kati’s name.

“Mate, you ok?” Zayn asks.

“Yeah, just fine.” I say still smiling. I hear him mumble an ‘ok’ and he pats me on the back. I walk backwards until I can’t see them and turn around to catch up with the boys.

Kati’s POV:

Danielle catches up to us and goes on the right side of Niall while I’m on his left.

“Hey guys, I’m heading to the restroom and thought I could walk with you guys.” Niall nods and so do I.

We walk and talk and then, Danielle begins to become all clingy to Niall, making him completely ignore me. She did this earlier with Liam and Harry, now Niall? What’s going on?

We continue to walk then she kissed Niall on the cheek and headed towards the bathroom. I keep my head straight once Niall looks down at the ground, blushing like a dork.

“What’s wrong?” He asks.

“Oh, so now you’re going to talk to me?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

“What? What are you talking about?” he asks, slightly worried and confused.

“Don’t pretend I didn’t see anything right there! Acting like a cute couple, making me sick!” I spit at him. “I-I’m sorry Niall. She just did this with Harry earlier when I was with him, and I understand with Liam, but now you. What does she want?”

“Kati, don’t sweat it. I’m too hungry to even know what just happened.” I laugh as he laughs and we continue to walk to McDonald’s.

We finally find an open seat as we set our tray’s down.

“I’m going to use the restroom.” I say as Niall already dives into his burger.

I open the restroom door and to my surprise, Danielle is still in here.

“Uh-hi” I say. Odd, she’s most likely been in here for 20 minutes.

“Oh… hello.” She glares at me before snapping her powder shut and shoving it in her bag, now bringing out the lip-gloss.

“So, isn’t Niall the sweetest?” She says, obviously trying to get on my very last nerve.

“What the hell do you want Danielle?” I ask, facing her.

“I want back what was rightfully mine…” She trails off, hands on her hips.

“And what might that be?”

“My boyfriend, and the rest of the guys.”

“What on earth are you talking about?” I ask, now irritated.

“I’ve been gone for several months, and you’ve just taken my place, in friendship, and in their hearts. They were mine first.” She states.

“What the hell? They are their own people. They can like whomever the hell they want. And by the looks of it, they’ve chosen a skanky one so…” I say back. And before I know it, her fist full of rings come flaying at me, then I’m on the floor. I sit up, light headed.

“Bitch please. Little ass mouth.” I hear her mumble. She comes towards me and kneels down by my side.

“Tell the boys I did that to you, you’ll be sorry” I huff and look at her with watery eyes. I hear the clinking of her boots walk away.

“Oh, and, I’ll keep this on hand.” I see her flash Devin’s number on the piece of paper then walk away.

I come to a stance and look in the mirror. Great. Just fucking fantastic. I’m bleeding from my lip, now swollen, and she hit me where Devin had. I quickly go through my purse and find some concealer and powder. I apply it quickly and make my way back out to Niall.

“Back,” I say, with a fake smile.

“Love, what happened to your lip?” Dammit Niall. How was I supposed to cover up my lip?

“Oh, this? I was leaving and someone opened the door in my face. No big deal,” with one last shaking breath out, I say, “Really.”

He just shrugged it off and began to eat, once again. I laugh and sit down next to him.

We meet up with the boys when Niall and I have finish. I catch a glimpse of Danielle, then when I see her give me an evil glare, I look at the ground. I just want to leave.

“Hey, guys? I think I’m just going to go home, I’m not feeling so hot.”

“Well you look it.” I see Niall smirk. I punch him in the for arm and smile at myself in satisfaction.

“Alright love. I’ll drive you.” Liam offers, detaching himself from Danielle’s grasp. She looked pissed off. Before he can get to close, I stop him and take a step back.

“No really. It’s fine. I’ll take a bus. Thanks though.” I awkwardly say and turn to walk away. I hear no one say anything as I leave. And luckily, no one follows me.

I step up onto the bus and take a seat in the back. I breathe a sigh of relief and slump down, looking at my black phone screen.

The bus is pretty empty except for an older man, a, what looks like, a teen mom with laundry, and a 20 something year old looking man with his hood up. I swear he looks familiar. I just shrug it off and actually unlock my phone.

Billy’s POV:

She makes her way to the back, hopefully not recognizing me. I have my hood up with sunglasses on.  Quickly pull out my phone and dial Devin’s number.

“What’s up man?” I hear him say on the other side.

“Hey, she’s on the bus.”

“Good. I got a text from that Liam boy’s girlfriend, Danielle. We are going to ‘hang out’ soon.” I hear him laugh quietly to himself. His definition of ‘hanging out’ with girls is different than the average humans.

“Alright. See ya.” Then I hang up. The plan is in go.
