I wake up feeling better. I hear voices from the kitchen. Everyone is sitting at the table, drinking tea and chit-chatting. Demi is the first one to see me.

"Jade!" I sit down at the empty seat next to her. "Are you feeling better?"

I nod. My throat hurts so much that I'm scared to talk. A bowl is put down in front of me. I should eat it. I need it, not only to cure my cold, but because I havenät eaten anything since we got here.

"She's awake now." Louis says, looking at Harry. "Tell her, Harry."

I look at Harry. He has his arm around Shelia, looking nervous. I'm confused.

"Tell me what?" I say. My voice is horribly hoarse.

Harry opens his mouth to say something, but nothing seems to come out, like he doesn't know what to say.

"Oh, she doesn't know?" Niall suddenly bursts. "Harry and Shelia are dating."

The words hit me like stones. Did he just say that...? I look at Shelia, then at harry, then back at Shelia. She smiles like she won the lottery.

"He's the best boyfriend you can ask for." She giggles, making my ears almost bleed. Then she gives a Harry a wet kiss on the cheek. Ew.

I'm not mad at him for dating her. I knew he's get a girlfriend someday. I'm mad because he lied. He fucking lied to me. 

"You promised me to eat when you woke up." Demi says, giving me a spoon.

I stand up, and start walking out of the kitchen.

"Not hungry." I say plainly on my way out.

"Jade! Come back and eat your soup."

But I'm already out the door. I can't be alone in my room because I'm sharing it with Mr and Mrs Make-Jade's-Life-Worse-Than-It-Already-Is, and I can't lock myself in the bathroom because it's not somewhere I'd like to stay all day in. I find a door I've never seen before. I quickly go in there as I hear Demi come after me, luckily there's a key in the keyhole so I can lock it. I look around. It's perfect. 4 grey walls, and in the middle there's a piano. I sit down on the piano chair and blow the dust off the keys. My mum made me take piano lesson since 4th grade. Until 7th grade when I finally had the courage to tell her I didn't want to take lessons anymore. I don't know why I was scared to tell her, I just felt like... she'd be disappointed. She always loved to hear me play. It's been a long time since the last time I played. I randomly push some of the keys. I try some chords I still know. After a while I'm playing a melody, just letting my fingers swiftly but gently go from key to key. I let myself drown in the music I'm making. I feel my anger run off me, being replaced by relaxation from the music. I stop when I hear a light knock on the door.

"Jade?" Louis' voice says. "Can I come in?"

I let him in.

"Was that you playing?" He asks as soon as he comes in.

I lock the door again, and go back to the piano.

"Yeah." I start playing the same melody again. "My mum made me take lessons when I was little."

I teach him how to play 'my melody' and he learns quickly. But i can't concentrate. Why did Harry lie to me? I hate when people lie to me. How can he like her anyway? She's hot and all, but her head is as empty as my stomach. I thought Harry wanted a girl with qualities. Apparently I was wrong, he seems to be satisfied with anyone that looks good. That is why he'd never like me like that. I don't look good. I don't look the way pretty girls look. But before I can think more about it, Louis snaps me back to reality.

"You seem to have a lot on your mind."

I frown.

"Sorry."

"Is anything bothering you?" He says as he pats my back. "You know I'm always here to listen."

Should I tell him? No, I can't say that I'm jealous. But I really want someone to talk to. I sigh.

"Louis, have you ever liked someone who doesn't like you back?" I ask carefully.

I look at him, he gives me a friendly smile.

"We all have, Jade." I smile back, he probably knows now. "I know it hurts seeing someone you like with someone else,but there is someone out there who will love you back, no matter what."

That's what they all say. There is someone 'out there', wherever that is, waiting for you. He gets up.

"Come on, we're all waiting for you." He says and nods his head towards the door.

Demi is probably gonna attack me. As soon as I leave the room someone grabs my arm.

"You. Need. To. Eat." Demi says as she points at me.

Her grip is really hard.

"Demi, you're hurting me." She let's go.

"I'm sorry." She says and gives me a long hug.

"I'm not mad at you Demi." I say as she pulls away. She smiles.

"Your soup is waiting."

My stomach growls. Maybe I should eat. He walk into the kitchen, I sit at the table as she puts the bowl with soup in front of me, still hot. She helps me getting it down, until the last bite. It feels better to finally eat. The negative thoughts start to attack me, but I push them away. I don't have time for them. Demi gives me a painkiller and tells me to get some more sleep. But I'm not tiered. I swallow the pill as she washes the bowl. I need to get out these clothes. But when I walk into the room, I see Harry and Shelia making out. I just ignore them. Especially Harry. From now on he doesn't exist to me anymore. But as I walk in, Harry sees me and pulls away from Shelia. He whispers something to her and she walks out. I take out the clothes I need and I'm just about to leave the room when Harry grabs my arm, pulls me in to the room and shut the door.

"I know you're mad at me." He says before I could even react.

"Why'd you lie to me?" I say without even thinking about what I'm doing.

"I didn't lie to y-"

"Yes you did!" I say and pull my arm back. "You said 'she's not my girlfriend' and the next thing I hear when I wake up is that you two are suddenly a couple."

He just stares at me, like he's carefully thinking about what to say.

Harry's POV

"I didn't lie when I said she wasn't my girlfriend." I almost whisper. "When you were asleep she just told everyone that she was."

"And you couldn't just say that she wasn't?" Jade says angry.

I sigh. I don't know what to tell her. I haven't even explained this for the guys. I can't say 'no I couldn't' because I know she's gonna ask me why I couldn't. Because if I could've said it, I would've. I don't even like her, I actually hate her. I would rather be the last person on earth than being Shelia's boyfriend. I honestly sometimes think she's the devils daughter. Well, I used to think, now I'm sure she is. I really want to tell Jade, I don't want her to think wrong about me. What if she thinks I'm pathetic? Being scared of Shelia's mom. It really sounds stupid, I know. I don't care what she does to me, I can sacrifice myself, but she's gonna make the people around me suffer as well. I don't want that. I hate making other people suffer for something I've done. That's why I' just standing here, like a bloody idiot, unsure if I should speak or remain silent. Jade just shakes her head, and walks out before I can stop her.

I'm such an idiot.
