Troublemaker(Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

Chapter 34

Song for this chapter: Angels by Within Temptations

Ariel's POV:

It's been four days since Louis' betrayal, and I was refusing to listen to anyone.

I didn't listen to Kristi whenever she tried talking to me at school, I didn't listen to Harry at all, I ignored my mother at home. She's betrayed me as well and taken HIS side...they've all betrayed me. I don't talk to anyone and I don't listen to anyone, I just saunter down the hallways to my classroom robotically.

I've become a walking doll actually.

I had just gotten to school and I was numbly walking towards first period, when I saw Kristi come up to me. She had a hopeful smile on her face, as if she was hoping that I would be talking to her.

I just had nothing to say. I didn't have anything to say to anyone. I've created a barrier between me and them, a flimsy one at that, but one that kept myself from breaking down.

"Hey Ariel. Look, I know everyone's been on your case, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm still on your side with this. I just want the best for you." she tells me and I want to laugh. I want to laugh in her face before screaming at her that she betrayed me, but I don't.

I just stare at her blankly like she's not even there.

Before she can say anymore, I turn around and walk away from her, not even bothering to listen to what she had to say. Because what she was saying was a lie.

If she wanted what was best for me, she would be doing something, ANYTHING, to keep him away from me. But no, she seems like she's teaming up with him just to make my life more miserable than it already is.

I guess this is what I deserve though. I should've known deep down that something wasn't right about Louis and I's relationship, but I was too blinded by the fact that I thought that there was a single man out there who could possibly change my perspectives on life.

I'll never be blinded again.

Sitting down at my desk in first period, I watch numbly as people begin to fill up the room, coming in and taking their seats. Kristi comes in, looking at me guiltily before she takes her usual seat next to me.

To both my surprise and my relief, Louis doesn't show up today. Inside, I feel so relieved that I don't have to see him. Because if I don't have to see him, the tear in my heart doesn't have the chance to rip apart even more.

I don't pay attention in class, my mind being consumed with various thoughts about what's happened to me, and before I know it class is over.

I get out of the classroom wordlessly, not even looking at anyone. I walk towards my second period when a hand grabs my arm, making me gasp in shock as I'm drug away from everyone else in the hallway and into a separate room.

I'm thrown into an empty classroom that no one uses anymore and I hear the door slam behind me. My heart is beating erratically and I'm panicking, not liking the situation I'm getting in.

I turn around to see who the person was who dragged me in here, and when I do see them my heart drops. It's Louis.

I can't speak. My eyes are wide with both fear and worry, not wanting to know why he just showed up at school to drag me away. Hasn't he done enough to me already??

He glares at me, walking up towards me with long strides and I try to stumble away from him, not wanting to be near the man who destroyed me. But I find myself up against a wall, trapped as he slams his hands on either side of my head.

I wince away from him as I see the anger in his eyes, how his gaze is piercing through me. My heart feels like it's about to jump out of my chest, it's beating so hard.

We stand there in silence, him angrily towering over me while I cower in fear before him. I never liked seeing him angry, but that wasn't a sight I got to see very much. And I didn't like this side of him.

"What is wrong with you, Ariel?" he asks me, breaking the silence with his question. I really just want to laugh at him and punch him in the face, but that wouldn't get me anywhere. So I stayed silent.

"Ariel! Answer me!" he yells, coming eye level with me so that he can look directly into my eyes. "I know you have something to say, Ariel. So let me have it. I know you're keeping it all in, just like you always do. Just let it out Ariel. Tell me what's wrong." he says, his voice softer this time.

For a moment, I want to tell him what's wrong, but then I remember something: he already knows. Anger welled up in me as I thought about him and I couldn't help but think that I needed to fight back. Don't be scared of him. He can't hurt you anymore than he already has.

I narrow my eyes at him, angrily shoving him away from me while I glare at him. He should know that everything that's happening to me is his fault. How can he act like this to me when he is the cause for everything?!

I ball my hands into fists and I feel tears come into my eyes. I let myself trust this man...he betrayed me. He broke my heart...he broke all the promises he made to me. He LIED.

I go right up to Louis, still angrily looking at him. I knew what I was about to do would be unexpected to him. His eyes widen as he sees my hand come up. Good, he wasn't expecting that.

I slap him, hard, across the face. The sound echoes through the classroom as his head snaps to the side from my blow. When he looks at me, he holds his cheek with his hand while he stares at me with wide eyes.

"Screw you Louis. If I have to keep everything in I will. I'll never tell you a single thing again." I snarl, the first words I've spoken all day.

I shove past him and walk out the door, tears building in my eyes as I -once again- begin to run away from the school building.

Tears fall down my face and I let out a single sob as I leave him, my traitor friends, and my haunting memories at that damned school.

Never again...never again will I let myself love someone. Because no matter what I do, I'm always betrayed.
