Chapter 26

Guess the song for a dedication: "Your secret tattoo, the way you change moods. The songs that you sing when you're all alone."


Avalon's POV:

We both got ready for school, stealing kisses in between, which honestly made us even more late.

"Okay Niall, I'm going to distract my foster parents and then you sneak out of the front door.

"Or can I just climb out of your window and into that tree?" He pointed out. A smirk was clear on his face.

"Fine, whatever works." I waved him away, trying not to smile.

"Today's such a good day." He smiled. He stole the words from my brain.

"Yeah," I smiled back. "By the way, where's your car?"

"Oh I parked it down the block last night." He explained.

"Okay I'll see you in a few minutes." I told him.

"A few minutes is too long for me." He said.

"Clingy much?" I teased.

"I'm not being clingy." He snapped, suddenly his voice lowering. His tone indicated that he wasn't too happy with my words.

"I was just kidding." I told him, gently touching his hand.

He sighed and moved some hair away from his face. "I know, that just reminded me of Becca."

"Your ex girlfriend?" I asked.

"Yeah. She only dated me for popularity. The mistake made me more popular and Becca took advantage of that." He explained, sighing again.

"Oh. I'm sorry," I sympathized. "She was really a bitch." I finished

"Yeah. But you aren't so I'm sorry for snapping at you like that." He quickly told me.

"It's okay." I told him.

"Bye." He whispered and climbed out of the window.

Class just ended and I walked towards my locker. I put in the combination and my locker sprang open, a book falling along the way. Someone picked it up and handed it to me. I looked up and saw a cheerleader.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Why is Niall dating you?" She asked, arrogantly.

"Because he loves me?" I stated, it coming out more as a question. Who did she think she was coming over here and interrogating me?

She rolled her eyes and spat, "Save the bullshit. He just wanted to get you in bed right?"

"No he loves me!" I told her, my voice croaking.

"But why would he love a loser like you?" She asked, plainly. She adjusted her blonde hair into a ponytail.

"I don't know, but he definitely wouldn't love a slut like you." I snapped. Her face twisted into rage and the next thing I knew, I was tackled onto the floor. She threw a punch and it connected with my jaw. A feeling of pain traveled down my jaw. I wasn't going to give her any mercy. I punched her squarely on her nose, probably breaking it. She squealed and got off of me. By now, a crowd had gathered around us. Somebody had their phone out and was filming the fight. Other people chanted "fight, fight, fight!"

I stood on my feet and saw the cheerleader whimpering while holding her bloody nose. One thing I had learned from being abused was how to fight. Whether it was physically or mentally, I knew how to fight. I knew how to stay strong.

"What the heck is going on here?" A teacher demanded, coming inside the circle of kids to where I was.

"She broke my nose!" The cheerleader cried pointing to me.

"She started the fight first!" I exclaimed to the teacher.

"Yeah because you called me a slut!" She said, her voice muffled.

"Well you called me a loser!"

"Girls, girls, break it up!" The teacher shouted. I crossed my arms over my chest and stood to the side.

"To the principal's office." The teacher commanded. I followed her while the cheerleader got escorted to the hospital. I rolled my eyes and noticed everybody's eyes trained on me as I marched to the office.


Niall's POV:

I sat at the lunch table looking around for Avalon. She should be here by now.

"Hey have you seen Avalon?" I asked Chrissy.

"No, why?" She glared at me. Oh that's right, she didn't know we were back together.

"We got back together." I told her and her frown turned upside down.

"WHAT! I can't believe this! Yes! Navalon is back! My OTP ahh." She exclaimed and did a little happy dance.

"Did you just do what I think you just did?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"As a matter of fact, yes." She answered seriously.

"I can't believe you just fangirled over Avalon and I." I said and then chuckled.

Just then, Brandon took a seat at our table, announcing, "There was a fight today."

"Between who?" I asked.

"Dang I missed it!" Chrissy exclaimed.

"I don't know, I missed it too." Brandon answered.

"Ugh! Niall ask somebody." Chrissy groaned to me.

"Fine," I said and looked for somebody to ask. I spotted Scotty, one of my friends walking towards the table in front of us. "Ay Scotty, who fought today?" I asked him.

"Didn't you know? Megan and your girlfriend." Scotty answered, leaving me awestruck.
