The Other Side of Me

Chapter 19

-ELEANOR-

Trisha was sitting at the dining table,mumbling something in welsh,talking on the phone. Doniya instructed me to sit on the chair near the divider.

"You're pretty" someone said to me and when I turn around,there stands Zayn's youngest sister. I smiled at he when I saw her. "You too" I said to her. She smiled again before she ran her way upstairs.

"She's good to go,now go there" Doniya told me,I nodded and I thanked her for helping me.She smiled and went to where Waliyha is.

I went inside the dining area, she looked at me,probably burning a hole on my face,she's tapping her fingers on the table while she's waiting for me to start talking. I don't know in what way she'll understand this.

"Go on,darling" she instructed.

"I'm Zayn's girlfriend" I blurted out. She fake laughed,and growled after that. "You've got to be kidding me!" she yelled slamming the table. Doniya and Waliyha stood behind my back. Shocked by their mother's reaction.

"Please understand me first!" I cried,I stepped back when she glared at me.

"Please let me!" she bit back, Doniya whispered at me telling me to tell her everything...I nodded at her.I heard Waliyha's talking to Doniya,asking what the hell's happening. and why is her mum yelling at me.

"Okay...I was Louis' fake girlfriend,what we had was all for the show,as well as Zayn and Perrie" I confessed.she was shocked and disappointed. She's about to cry. "Zayn and Perrie will get married,whether it's fake or not" she declared before she walked out on us.

That's when I finally brokedown. I knew what I said was very wrong. I didn't explained it thoroughly.I cried infront of Zayn's sisters. "It's gonna be okay" one of them said.

I knew going here is not a good idea.I went upstairs and told Zayn that I'm going back to London.I don't want to ruin their Christmas...

"Don't go...I'll talk to mom,she understands me" he said before he left me there. I was so pissed at him right now,he dragged me here and now he's leaving me? again?! I groaned very loud and I decided to leave their house.

I'm not welcomed here anyways.

"Hey,where are you going?" Waliyha asked me.I told her that I'm going out. She said she wanted to come with me. Of course,at first,I hesitated but then she insisted so I finally gave in.

It was snowing,but the cold didn't stopped us from going out. "You know?I really really admire you...Fizzy told me that you're really cool" Waliyha told me. I plastered a smile at her. "What else do you and Fiz talk about?" now I'm the who's asking her.

"Well you know...boy stuff.Some things that we can't tell to our brothers." we started laughing knowing that Louis and Zayn will never understand girl problems.

"I'm sorry if my mum snapped at you earlier,She really liked Perrie,sorry if I'm being blunt.But I like you!if that will make any difference" she said I wrapped my arm around her,and I thanked her.

-

After our walkathon I dropped her off,before I go the the nearest hotel. and I have to tell Zayn that,it so happened that my phone died.

"I had so much fun,thank you" she hugged me before she opened the main door. Her mom was standing there pacing back and forth. and when she spotted Waliyha with me,she points at me.She's bewildered and psyched up at the same time.

"Where have you been?We've been looking everywhere!" she shouted.Doniya held her back,Waliyha hid behind my back...Frightened and shaking. "I'm sorry mum" she uttered. Zayn looked at me from afar,shocked that I was still here.

I glared at him,he immediately went to where I'm standing. Her mother was so furious,she's looking at me again like I kidnapped her daughter. "I better go" I mumbled before I said my goodbyes to them.

"Yeah,you should go,my son's fiance will be here any minute!As well as her family..Now off you go" she plastered a fake smile,while staring at me.

"Mum!please you've got to stop! Perrie and I were never together! We're being handled by the same management! okay? And the engagement was all planned! I never loved her! EVERYTHING WAS PLANNED BY OUR MANAGEMENT. Eleanor's done nothing wrong!" Zayn voiced out. Just in time when Perrie and her mother went inside.

Zayn turned to face everyone.

"We've been in a relationship for more than a year.I had to do my job,I'm with Perrie because they needed to be exposed,they were not that popular.It's too obvious!" he added. Perrie was in state of shock.

"Zayn!What the hell are you talking about baby?" Perrie spoke loudly so the rest of the people around us can hear it. Zayn's mother smiled as she heard what Perrie said.

"Stop pretending Pez!I've had enough of this.You got what you want! You're wildly popular,you have a tour coming up.You don't need me anymore!Now I can get my life back!" he scowled.Trisha was glancing at Zayn then at Perrie.

"This is a sick joke kids" she nervously laughed.

"This isn't a joke,everything's true...Have a crappy christmas everyone!" he shouted before he dragged me outside again.

I was still in shock,it's us against his family. "Zayn,go back inside.explain everything to them,they will never understand this if your mad! Come back to me when everything's cleared up" I muttered. He held me on my wrist. But I pulled my hand out of his grip and ran away from him.

I was a little disappointed that he didn't came after me. Now I was all alone here at the bus stop.My phone is still dead so there's no way I can contact Louis now.I can't text him that I'm going there right now.

Luckily,there's a bus that came,going to Sheffield,it's near Louis' hometown.I kept on glancing back,hoping that I would see Zayn running after me.

I wanted to cry right now,but it seems like I have been all dried up. I was exhausted. I gave a fuck about him again, and see what happened. I've ruined something so important to Zayn. His mother will never like me the way she liked Perrie,

I never thought that I'd spend my Christmas Eve on a bus,I laughed at myself for thinking that he'll come after me,that he came back to make everything right.I kept on checking my phone even though I know that it'll never open unless it's charged.

I closed my eyes for awhile,maybe sleeping is the only thing that will help me forget how much trouble I got into.
