Different but Destined

Chapter 7.

"We need to go..now." Mel's voice comes out quiet but panicked. "Please."

I look at her in confusion and I want to ask her does she know them, is this who she was talking about the bad people she got involved with?

I stand up and Lou's eyes travel to me then Mel and she looks shocked.

"What are you doing with her Mettisse?" She walks over to me. I look to Harry, he's laughing at something and then looks around the cafe till his eyes fix on me and they widen as he stares at me. I can't seem to look away.

"I'm going." Mel says quietly and she looks towards the boys. Harry moves his gaze from me to her and she looks back at him, then drops her head. I'm so confused, I want to run after Mel and get her to tell me everything, but I'm stuck in my place and can't move.

Is that the boy she was talking about? Harry? I wonder what happened that was so bad.

"Come over here." Lou says and I walk towards her.

"Did she say anything to you?" She says and eyes me carefully. Something has definitely gone on and I want to find out.

"What do you mean?" I decide to act dumb.

"Nothing, doesn't matter." She quickly says and changes the subject. I let it go and walk out the cafe.

I hear the door jingle again and look up to meet Harry's eyes.

"What are you doing here?" He softly says, making sure his friends aren't in sight.

"I work down there and came for lunch." I point to my work.

He looks at the big building then back to me, "Fashion designer?" He questions.

"No, media makeup and hair." I answer proudly.

"Didn't take you as the type." He says while taking his fingers and pinching his pink lips.

"I'm full of surprises." I tease and he smiles.

"Are you now?" He laughs softly and it's a lovely sound.

Before I say anything, Zayn comes out the door and Harry snaps his head towards him.

He pulls a cigarette out his pocket and lights it. "What yous talking about?" He says after he takes a drag.

"Nothing," Harry snaps then walks back inside.

So he's nice when it's just me and him but not in-front of other people?

"I would say he's nicer when you get to know him, but that's a lie." Zayn laughs and I join. I wonder why he's like that. He can be nice though, I've seen it.

"So I'm having a party tonight at mine, it's not far from here only about ten minutes, you should come." He takes another drag while looking at me.

"Oh..I don't know." No way am I going to another one of them parties, I hate them.

"Think about it anyway, you can get a ride with Lou." He smiles.

"Yeah, I'll think about it." I lie while smiling back at him.

"You coming in?" Zayn says while throwing away his cigarette.

I nod and follow him in. Harry is sat in the corner and he eyes me as I take a seat across from him.

"Hi," I smile at everyone and they return the gesture.

"We were just gonna order some food, you want some?" Niall asks me.

"No it's okay, I already ate." I politely say.

"Yeah with that freak Mel." Harry says and everyone laughs. I look at him shocked but he has his eyes glued to his phone.

"She's weird, remember when she tried saying-" Niall begins but Harry cuts him off.

"Don't," he warns and I want to ask what he was going to say but decide against it.

"She's not a freak." I defend.

Harry laughs, "You don't even know her."

"She's better company than you." I fire back and Lou looks up at him, amused.

"Wait am I missing something, when did yous hang out?" Zayn says while eating his chips.

"We didn't, she bored me to death with her life story and tried kissing me." He says and the table goes quiet. My mouth is wide open and so is Lou's. I can't believe he's just said that in front of everyone at the table.

Tears prick my eyes and I stand up and get out of there as quick as possible. Why would someone be so nasty? I've been nothing but nice to him. I tried to defend my friend and I got that thrown in my face. I can't believe I just got embarrassed like that.

"Nice one, you dickhead." I hear someone say as I head towards the door.

I run outside and call my dad as quick as possible telling him to pick me up.

I see my dads car pull up five minutes later and go to walk to it before I hear someone call my name behind me.

"Mettisse, wait!" For a second I feel like my minds playing tricks until I see Harry walking fast behind me.

"Get away from me now!" I shout at him and he continues running. "I mean it, move!"

He stops as he sees me walking towards the car. Who the hell does he think he is? Thinking he can come after me after he said that. I trusted him with the stuff I told him and he threw it back in my face. 'Bored him to death.'

"Are you okay?" My dad asks as I get in the car.

"I'm fine," I snap and he looks shocked but doesn't say another word as he drives home.

One part of me wants to never see them ever again, get my apartment sorted and move out my dads so I don't have to see Lou either.

But another part wants to turn up at that stupid party and show him he can't embarrass me and expect me to hide away from him and take the shit he gives out.

My ego overpowers and decides to go with the second one.
