Monster (Niall Horan)

Chapter 2: Get Away

Chapter 2:

At about 5:30, Carlie comes into the room, me laying on my bed. I hope she doesn't--"Hey, what was that? I thought you had no feelings for him!" She looks annoyed. 

"I don't. And I won't. He just came up to me and I didn't know what was happening. Let it alone. Nothing's between us, and nothing will ever be. Just, let it go." I say to clarify the things between us.

"Okay, okay. Fine. Whatever. You guys would look cute you know, but.. "

"SHUT UP I DON'T CARE!" I scream at her. I run into the bathroom to take a breath. "This is rediculous! I don't like him. What got into me?" I question myself. I run over the past hour and I have no idea what went on. I think I'mnuts or something, because I have just kissed the very guy I hate. Niall Horan. Now he won. He gets just about all the girls to kiss him. Just wait. He'll tell everyone, just like he does with every other girl and tomorrow everyone will be perstering me about it. I hate him so much. Why does life have to be like this to me? I'm a good student, living a good life, and then there's Niall. Ugh. I just want everyone to leave me alone. Forever. I don't want anyone to talk to me. Just. I don't know. I'm that frustrated. I scream out loud. When I say out loud, I mean, loud. Maybe too loud. Whoops. 

About an hour later, I come out. Confused, not sure what to do anymore. I think I might  be overreacting, but I let him defeat me. He kissed me! That's kind-of a big deal, since I've never kissed a guy before. I let it out on him. How disgusting. I just wanna go back to bed and forget that today had ever happened at all.

"Nice to see you out of your shell again, babes! I missed talking to ya. I was starting to worry! Catching fire starts in a half hour, and were gonna be late if you don't get ready." Oh shit! I forgot! Damn it. "So, do you think I should wear the red one or the blue one? I like the red one because it's a sparkly and has a few ruffles. But, the other is cozier and warmer. What do you think?" I kind of tone her out for a moment. "Hello? Anybody home?" She asks. 

"Umm.. the red one. It gets hot sometimes in the theater." There was a break in silence as she went and put on her cute outfit, being all matchy-matchy. She looks amazing. "Hey, Carlie, can I ask you something? Where did you go after you left after you saw him? Niall, I mean. I'm just wondering because you weren't in the hall when I kicked him out.." I ask her.

"Oh I went to the vending machine on the basement floor and took the stairs. I was getting pretty hungry and didn't want to disturb you two. You wanna talk about what happened?" She looks thoroughly concerned. "If not it's okay, I mean, I understand if--" I cut her off. 

"No, no it's cool. We can talk- on the way that is. Let's go out to the car. You can go, I'll be down in a sec. Just need to change my shirt and put on some makeup. See ya!" I run into the bathroom and put my makeup on as I hear the door shut. I go to my closet and pick out my favorite The White Stripes tee and a pair of skinny jeans. Then, I straighten my hair and grab my spring jacket and head for the door to meet Carlie. Just as I reach the door, a hand violently grabs my shoulder. 

"And where shall you be going?" A dark familiar voice says. I turn around and it's my ex, Tyler. What does he want?

"Get off of me!" I shove him and walk out the door. I hear the door open again and as I turn around, Tyler is jogging to catch up with me. I start running toward approaching Carlie in front of me. "Unlock the door! Hurry!" I shout as Tyler is getting closer. Carlie unlocks the door, I jump in, and we head off, away from the campus, Tyler watching us as we disappear into the six o'clock rush.

"What did he want?" Carlie asks. "I don't see why he just doesn't give up on you and leaves you alone. Clearly, you're not interested. I don't see his problem." She says to comfort me.
