Chapter Twenty Two - What are you doing here?

*The next day*

I woke up feeling like utter crap. I had hair in my mouth, mascara down my face and the same clothes I had on yesterday. I got some shower stuff and began walking to the showers. 

After my shower I felt better, rejuvenated even. My skin had some sort of glow to it, compared to the dullness from my lack of personal hygiene,  my face looked thinner; as did my body. 

I hated how thin and fragile my body has been since that night. I haven't been eating properly and if I did it would come back up soon after. I hate how he has ruined me. I was happy, and now I'm nothing. I have no friends, Zayn doesn't want anything to do with me, Harry has Niall. They don't want anything to do with me. 

I get back to my dorm and see that Sarah isn't there. Where could she be? It's not like she could go to Louis. Weird.

I walk in and remove my towel and put on some underwear. I look for some skinny jeans and a crop top that doesn't show much of my belly. Time for some rejuvenation. I grab some ankle boots and sunglasses to cover up the bags under my eyes. Since it's quite sunny today there's no need for a jacket. 

I quickly blow dry my hair and tie it in a messy bun.  walk out of my dorm and make my way to the exit. I sign myself out and look for a coffee shop. I find a little diner close to campus and walk in. I look around the shop to see if anyone I know is in here. There is a few people from school doing work and sitting with friends but none who I know. I grab a coffee and sit towards the back out of sight. 

I drink the coffee while texting Milli on snapchat. I haven't spoke to her in ages. We have a little 5 minute conversation before someone walks in. Actually not someone, a group of people. I look up and see Zayn, Harry, Niall, Liam and Louis walk in. They order something and get a table next to the window. I put my phone in my back pocket and pick my bag up. They can't see me. I grab my coffee and walk out the door, making sure to stay hidden from them. I walk along the path and walk to find any hairdressers that do walk-ins. 

I hear quick footsteps behind me. I turn around to see Zayn running towards me. 

"Kelly? What are you doing? You haven't been out in ages." He says trying to catch his breath. 

"I felt like some me time. I need it." I say before sipping my coffee. 

"Oh, mind if I tag along?" 

"I do, sorry. I just want some time to myself and I need to think about things. Maybe we can go out later? I hear Mitchell has a party on." 

He looks surprised. "Yeah, sure! Should I pick you up?" 

"Yeah, it's in a warehouse downtown." 

"Oh okay." He says.

He reaches out for a hug and I engulf myself in his warmth. I've missed this. Soon after the hug he runs back to the diner. 

I walk along the high street looking for hairdressers that have some free time. I look in shop after shop and no one has any spare times. 

I walk to the one called 'Shawn's Unisex Hairdressers'. This looks nice. I walk in and ask the woman at the counter if there is any free spaces for today, preferably in the next hour. She tells me there is an opening for in half hour. She books me in and I walk out. 

What do I do for half hour? 

I walk up the street looking for a Boots to get some new makeup since most of mine is either gone or out of date. 

Once I walk in, I look straight for the 'Collection' counter since it's the cheapest and best makeup in my opinion. I pick up some foundation and powder along with a eyebrow kit. I pick up an eyeliner and a mascara from 'Maybeline'.
