Chapter 14

Sadness into Happiness; Happiness into Shock

---------------------------------------------

Maddie's POV

I trudged upstairs to get changed. Niall and the 3 other lads(Not including Louis) already drove me home and left, but Niall said he would pick me up at six.

"Hey, Lac-" I cut myself off. I had temporarily forgotten that Lacey wasn't here. I had to say, Lacey was right. She definitely had a better fashion sense than I do. Now I had absolutely no idea what to wear, and my BFF, well, ex-BFF that I still consider MY BFF, is in the hospital, and may never come back out.

I searched through my wardrobe and drawers, searching for a good outfit. I finally settled with a white sweater, a pair of skinny jeans, and my gray TOMS. I walked over to the living room and slumped down on the couch. I grabbed the tv remote and started watching 'Grey's Anatomy'. I really needed to free my mind of the whole Lacey-in-the-hospital thing. Then my mind started to wander around all that happened in the first few days, and the reason we went to the amusement park. 'What is Lacey hiding...?' I thought. Then I remembered something.

Flashback

*************************

Me and Lacey were driving home from the first concert where we met the members of One Direction. Well, more like bumped into them. Literally.

"I. CAN'T. BELIEVE. THIS. IMETTHELOUISTOMLINSON!!!!! WELL, KINDA!!!" She yelled out the window. "IN YO FACES!!!" I saw a couple with a baby look at us weirdly and hurry off.

"What the heck Lacey?! You are scaring everyone away! They think you're mental! Oh, and HANDS ON THE WHEEL!!!" I snapped.

"Oh admit it, you're just as happy as I am after seeing Mister Horan." She was right. I was actually glad that Lacey lost our shirts, because we ended up meeting 1D!

"Next time, though," Lacey glanced over at me. "try not to run Niall over." She smirked, and I playfully hit her. Suddenly, I heard 'What Makes You Beautiful' playing from Lacey's phone. That was her parents' ringtone.

"Hi Mum! Hi Dad!" Lacey's parents always felt neutral about me, even since I met Lacey in middle school! I would've thought they'd have decided if they liked me by now...

"Oh, okay Mum. Yeah, I will when I get back." Lacey sighed, shoving her phone back into her Gucci purse.

"Hey, what did they say?" I asked, waiting for a reply.

"Um, Maddie, there IS something..." She said, reluctant to speak. "Oh, Lacey, you know you can trust me!" I said, hoping for an answer.

"Maddie, I'm mo-" but she never finished. I heard a huge "CRACK" and the car tumbled over. I opened my eyes and looked around. We had been hit by one of those 18-wheeler trucks. I cursed, and looked over at Lacey. Luckily she was ok, she just twisted her ankle. I heard sirens, and Lacey's parents. Wait, Lacey's parents?!?

End of Flashback

*********************

Lacey's parents hated me ever since. After the incident, they never trusted me. I guess the Lacey-on-the-roller-coaster incident was the last string for them, even though I didn't mean to hurt her. I was always the cause of anything that happened to Lacey in their eyes. Anyways, Lacey never told what she meant. I asked her about it a few times, but it always put her in depression. I get the feeling that all of these events go together... Suddenly I heard a knock at the door. Ah, it must be Niall. I walked over to the door, grabbed my purse, and walked out.
