Truth Or Dare

Chapter 8 Two Sides

Everyone had left.

Harry stormed out, several minutes after Jake and Katie had left, spitting blood and saliva on the wooden flooring.

Quite frankly - as ridiculous as it sounds - I was scared, not for me or Katie but for Harry. Jake didn't seem like one of those guys who 'let it slide'. Harry was going to face hell and for that I was scared for him.

Jack and I ended up going to my old

flat. Nobody had bought it yet so technically is was my property still.

"What the hell just happened?" That closed the door of silence. I didn't want it to because I was too enclosed in my own thoughts to respond but I went with the quick and the truthful reply.

"Haven't got a bloody clue!" That seemed to satisfy him but not for long.

"He loves Katie? Did I hear them correctly? Harry fucking Styles loves my cousin?!" That time I didn't have a response I was still trying to figure out what happened. Did it actually happen or was I dreaming - passed out from too many shots?

I unlocked the door to my flat and pushed the solid door open. We had college tomorrow so I needed to sober up fast which is going to be extremely difficult.

I also had a feeling. No! I knew tomorrow was going to be tense and I had a inkling of thought I might end up having to choose a side.

...

"My head is killing me!" Jack had been groaning all morning, we were both on our third cup of coffee trying to wake up and be more alert. We were going to need it.

Jack parked a block away from school, probably making sure his car didn't get damaged. I think even he was getting the negative vibes.

My thoughts were ceased to non-existant as the whole of our college grounds were a ghost town. If this was a haunted movie you would expect a rather random tumbleweed to roll across the screen.

It felt like everyone had a died even the wind was mute and still. We made our way up the front steps and when we arrived in the cafeteria it was obvious what was happening.

You would have most likely expected to see a mass murder scene before your eyes but no this was a war. Two sides with the two leaders. Jake and Harry.

Harry's 'side' were sat motionless on the left. His group consisting of Luke, Michael, Calum, Niall, Liam and half of the students here.

Jake's 'side' with the same stance were the other half of students including Louis, Zayn, Ashton, Jess and Katie.

Katie, however, looked forced upon her side she was wedged between the masculine frames of Jake and Louis.

Being the absolute twat he is, Jack deliberately coughed loudly making sure our presence was clear to everyone.

Jack's P.O.V

I, being the annoying and highly idiotic person I am, decided it was time our presence was known. I cleared my throat causing the most malicious glares to be directed at us. Well me anyway.

I decided to push it further.

"Hi!" I enthusiastically waved at the people who made eye contact at me.

Ethan's own eyes were boring into my face.  I could feel the anger.radiating off of him. He hated when I humiliated him and I tended to do it a lot.

A rough shove was thrown at me by Zayn. He had moved over to us.

"What side?" He seethed. Well isn't someone on their period.

"Their side," he spat "or ours!" he jerked his head towards Jake's side.

This has to be the harder decision I have ever made apart from which to have ordinary Oreos or Chocolate filled Oreos.

Harry was actually a really great guy but I wanted to live I causally walked over to Jake when Ethan walked over to Harry. I stared in disbelief. There was no going back Ethan and I were now... Enemies.

"Wise decision!" Jake patted me on the shoulder, "Shame I couldn't say the same about your little friend! Stupid, stupid boy!"

I knew then it all hit me like a ton of bricks.

We were all screwed.
