Happily Ever After?- Diza

Chapter 16: You Are Nothing

Kaitlyn's P.O.V

Liam parks the car in a parking spot by the school. Kayden gets out of the car then opens my door. Liam sits in the driver's seat with the car off looking at me. I was frozen in my spot, not able to even move an inch.

KD-"KT, you ready?"

I look at the two of them and close my eyes tightly, trying to push back some tears that were starting to form. I open them back up and slowly nodded my head.

KT-"A-Always."

I took Kayden's hand he had out and stepped out of the car. Liam shortly got out after I grabbed my bag. He locked the car as I walked with Kayden to the front of the school. Both boys were now next to me by the time people started to give me weird stares.  The only thing I could think of why they were staring at me, was because I haven't been on YouTube or social medias. Also including the fact I haven't been to school in a few days. We continued our way to the front doors when I stopped dead in my tracks an tensed up at the sight of her.

She was happy.

She didn't have a care in the world.

Avery never was my friend.

Kayden and Liam stopped as well once they realized I was no longer moving. They gave me confused looks before looking ahead at was I was staring at.

Avery was with a bunch of girls laughing and smiling. She was wearing very short shorts with a white crop top that matched her white high heels. She changed. Avery never dressed like this. She was always the shy girl at the back of the class wearing jeans and converses. With shirts that covered her whole torso. It hurt seeing her like this. She just transformed into someone she isn't.

After a minute, she turned towards. Once she saw me, her smile turned into a scowl. I was honestly terrified of what she would do. Avery started walking towards us with her heels clicking away. My breathing started to become unsteady as she got closer. I could hear my heartbeat ringing in my ears. I felt like I was going to melt in my shoes, like I was nothing compared to her.

She looked me up and down as she was standing with us. I felt uncomfortable and shifted in my spot. I looked down at my hands for a minute then back up at her. Avery turned to Liam and started flirting. It broke my heart at what she was doing.

AY-"Hey Liam, I'm throwing a party Friday. Your invited."

She kept putting her hands all over him and if my heart was glass, I would be in pain from all the shards falling from the glass.

LM-"Yeah, um, maybe."

She leaned in closer to Liam, whispering into his ear.

AY-"My parents are out of town all week, we can have a little fun in my room. All. Night. Long."

I felt the tears build up again as he still did nothing. Before I could hear or see anything else, I ran off. I went straight through the front doors and into one of the bathrooms. I heard Kayden calling after me, but I ignored him. I went into a stall and locked the door behind me. I sat on the toilet, not using it, and cried. Tears ran down my cheeks as I thought about what happened. He did nothing. Even though he knew what happened between us. And she knew I liked him.

I lost my crush and best friend in the same week. I sound like an overdramatic girl, but it hurts when you have known them your whole life.

I got out my phone as it started to buzz rapidly. I look at all the messages coming from Liam and Kayden trying to find me. I ignored them and stepped out of the stall. I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling disgusted with myself. I look terrible with my mascara all down my face and tears constantly falling.

The bathroom door opened revealing Avery. I looked at her with fear as she walked over to me.

AY-"I never liked you. Like at all. I always had a thing for Liam. He's hot, muscular, and a total bad boy."

More tears I didn't know existed silently streamed down my face. She smirked and looked at her nails before looking at me.

AY-"You are nothing Kaitlyn. You might be all famous and shit, but that means nothing. You are a nothing. You always were a nothing. And you always will be a nothing."

With that, she flipped her hair and left. If my heart wasn't fully broken before, it was now. More tears fell as the first bell rang. I wiped off all my makeup with some paper towels and water. I stared at my blank face. I always had makeup on for school. No one has really ever seen me without it.

I turned on my heal and walked out the door. I decided to go to the library and skip class because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. I opened the library door to see Kayden leaning against a wall. He gave me a half smile and pushed away from it. He started to make his way to me as I was walking to him as well. In little to no time, my head was rested on his shoulder as we hugged.

KD-"I knew you would be in here since your anxiety probably is building up."

I nodded my head in response and pulled away. We walked through the empty library to a small corner with beanbag chairs. We went to the biggest one and Kayden sat in it. I cuddled up with him after taking a seat myself.

KD-"Kaitlyn, I know you. You wouldn't just run off, even if you and Avery had a fight. Is it because Liam didn't do anything when she was all over him? Were you scared you would lose him too?"

I snuggled more into his chest as I played with his letterman jacket. Of course my brother and Liam were on the football team.

KD-"Wait, don't tell me you... you like Liam?"

I bit my bottom lip nervously and nodded my head slowly. I look up at Kayden to see his reaction. His mouth was slightly parted with a small smile lighting up all of his features.

KT-"Am I never allowed to see him again since you know now?"

He let out a soft chuckle that made his chest vibrate. I gave a tiny smile back as he looked me in the eyes.

KD-"KT, I'm happy you like him. I rather you like someone who will treat you good like Liam than someone that would treat you like shit."

I smiled at his response and looked away. The smile fell as I remember what Avery said.

'You are nothing.'

Tears started to build, but I pushed them away.

Maybe she's right. Maybe I am nothing. Maybe I shouldn't be here in this world. I am just a nothing. Always was and always will be.

I'm already broken and I am barely hanging on to the will of living.

'Cause Kaitlyn Harmony Dobrik, you are nothing.
