Chapter 5: Goodbye

"Wake up." I heard someone yell to me. I slowly opened my eyes and tried to figure out where I was. I was still on the mall floor. I looked up to see who was waking me up and my heart sank.

"Josh..." I whispered as I quickly got up but then everything got black and I fell back down.

"Careful." He said softly and held me as I got back up. I knew by the look on his face that he found out about the Liam scandal. I felt like crying since there was a huge chance he was about to break up with me.

"Natalie I.." Before he finished talking I hugged him as hard as I could. He hugged me back, laying his head down on my shoulder. We hugged for a few minutes and then he slowly let go of me.

"You don't love me." He whispered, keeping his head down.

"I do! You're the only person I love Josh. Liam kissed me and I pushed him away. I would never hurt you, I love you." I choked on my words since my throat ached so badly because of the tears I was holding in.

"I want to believe that more than anything. You know I care more about your feelings than mine and.." He stopped and tried looking away. I got closer to him and cupped his face in my hands and turned him slowly to me. I realized that he was trying to avoid looking at me since he also was holding back tears that were slowly making their way out. His eyes were getting red, he looked at me as if he was loosing the thing he cared about the most.

"I'm in love with you. Please believe me." I whispered as tears leaked out of my eyes.

"It looked like you were enjoying the kiss Natalie. I saw the videos. You even jumped into his arms." He looked away again about to release the streams building up in his eyes. You are still welcome to stay at my house for as long as you want. We're better off as friends." He looked at his shoes as the tears finally spilled over onto his face. I was too choked up to even speak. "Goodbye." He whispered and walked away slowly, wiping his eyes on his sleeve and putting his hands inside his hoodie.

Words couldn't possibly describe how I felt. I lost my everything. I walked to Starbucks, not knowing what to do or who to call. I missed my shift after lunch but I was in too much pain to even care. I threw myself onto one of the couches and just lost my calmness. I started crying like I've never cried before. In the summer when we had drama, it didn't feel as bad as it did now. I loved him back then as well but now I can't imagine my life without him. Scarlett immediately noticed me hurting and told our manager, Tony, that I couldn't work because I was remembering my mother.

After a while I just stared at the floor, still bawling my eyes out. As I rest my head on the wall next to the couch, Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguiera came on. That song just made me feel worse than ever.

"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you." My phone started ringing to Yellow by Coldplay which was Josh and I's song.

"Hello?" I softy choked the word out.

"Hey, what happened to Josh? He's been avoiding everyone, he won't even look at me." Spencer exclaimed.

"Don't know. Can you please come get me?" I spoke carefully, trying to hide the voice I make after I cry and sound normal.

"Fosho. Be there in 10." He giggled at his use of "fosho." And hung up.

I walked outside after 15 minutes and found his car. I quietly got in, trying to avoid him looking at my puffy eyes but then the lights inside the car turned off, I was so relived that it was dark.

"You hungry?" Spencer asked as he started the car.

"No. Can you drive me to that Best Western by Glendale please." I whispered and curled up on the seat.

"Are you and Josh having some special night at the hotel." Spencer winked with a grin.

"No...Just drive me there please." I whispered and buried my face in my hands before he saw me crying.

We got to the hotel in a few minutes.

"Woah are you crying?" Spencer stared at me before I got out. "Are you okay?"

"Nope. I'm not okay. Everything is horrible. Everything hurts, I've lost everything I love. My mom, my dad, my friends, my boyfriend who was all I had left. I just have nothing okay." I ran out in tears after breaking down in front of Spencer. He quickly ran after me.

"Natal-." He yelled.

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed crying. I sprinted inside.

"Welcome to uhh." The guy at the front desk made a "what the hell." face at me. My eyes were red and puffy, my hair was in knots, I had mascara all over my face, and my clothes were dirty from all the sitting around.

"Just give me a room." I demanded. He quickly gave me some keys and scanned my credit card. I ran up to my room, took off my shoes and jumped into bed. I hugged a pillow as I tried to fall asleep and just cried.
