Half A Heart

Chapter 6

My eyes widen and I suddenly go stiff.

I glance at Lilly who has her jaw dropped and then to Niall and then to Lilly and then back to Niall.

"Hey Olivia." Niall says nervously.

Lilly's head snaps to me her jaw still wide open it might as well be on the ground.

"You know him!" Lilly screams at me.

"Heheh...maybe?" I reply laughing nervously.

"Wha-ho-I- How long has it been?" She asks fuming.

"Like, two days?" I say nervously.

"Two days! What the hell Olivia! Why would you keep this from me!" Her voice booms sending a chill down my spine.

"I thought I was your best friend!" Her eyes show sadness but quickly are replaced with anger.

"You are, I-" I try to tell her.

"Friends don't hide things like this from each other!" She carries on.

"Listen you don't understand I-" I'm interrupted by her.

"What don't I understand? The fact that my best friend didn't tell me she's friends with the person I've been idolizing for three years!" She shouts coming closer to me.

"No that's not how it is." I try to reason with her.

"Well then please tell me what this is! Tell me it's not just you being selfish as to keep me in the dark about this!" Her breathing is heavy and her face is red as she waits for a response.

"I-I it's -" I stutter looking for the right words.

"Exactly! If you cared even a single but you would've told me!" She screams her eyes glossy.

"No please it's not what you think-" I try to tell her.

"Yes it is." She stops shouting but instead talks in a deep tone venom coursing through every word.

"Get out." She seethes.

"But, where do I go?" I ask hoping she'll change her mind.

"I don't I'm sure you have plenty of friends you can stay with even fucking Harry Styles for all I know." She spits out glaring at me.

Yeah, I can stay at Harry's.

I look at my feet after the comment she makes and can feel the guilt creeping up at me.

"Please you don't understand." I try to reason with her.

"I understand perfectly well." She snaps.

"Just go!" She shouts holding the door open.

I sigh in defeat and trudge to the door grabbing my converse, hoodie, and bag.

I look back at her one more time with pleading eyes but she continues to glare daggers at me her free hand clenched into a tight fist.

I grab Niall's hand and slowly walk out the door.

I can feel the stinging sensation behind my eyes and I let a teat slip, that catches Nialls eye.

"Olivia, it's okay, it's not your fault." He whispers rubbing his hand up and down my back in a comforting way.

"What am I supposed to do? I can't just leave it all behind me like it was nothing." I whisper to myself once we're down and outside.
