PROLOGUE

'You are lying!' I yelled throwing yet another porcelain plate at him. He dodge it making it smash before falling to the tiled floor, his arms were bruised and droplets of blood fell down but I didn't care any bit. For me he deserves it, He deserves this torture.

'Stop it Jade!' He warned running towards me before I could smash another plate that I continuously got from the cupboards behind me. He then held my wrists with just one hand. That was how strong it is, I knew it was hard to hit him and make him feel bad, for once I wish he wasn't too strong.

Once I did fancy his strength, I fancied everything about him and him himself if you get what I mean but now I despise myself. Right now the man I grew to love suddenly turned into a monster, The trust and respect I built fir him in years vanished within just minutes. Funny right? How faith can do that.

'I didn't sleep with Venice I swear' He held his grip on my wrists still tight.

'ohh yeah!?' I retorted finally having my own strength to yank his arms away. 'I saw it with my own eyes you cheating bastard! Don’t make me look stupid!' I yelled hitting his chest whilst small streams of tears we're cascading down my cheeks which we're now a bit rosy out of all the anger I'm pouring.

'Jade it wasn't like that! She just kissed me! You know how Venice can be!' He yelled back, annoyance already evident with his tone.

'And you kissed back?' I questioned. 'That was the problem you see! You kissed back! you could've just pushed her away and told her to fuck off but no! You fucking kissed her back!' right now I don't care if the neighbors are hearing us or even complaining.

'Okay let's say I did it but I'm sorry okay' He was yelling through his sorry which didn't make me feel like it was sincere. Hold on, it was never sincere. 'If you don't take it back then here' He sighed in defeat handing over the heart locket with our picture neatly placed in it.

He left me in his own kitchen. I pondered for a second opening the locket.

The picture and the memory was perfect. It was when he took me on our first date, when he just started to court me. Everything was perfect then but it all shattered with the blink of an eye. I should've known he wouldn't be more better than those cheating bastards you usually encounter.

It's over

I told myself after a few minutes of thinking. I won't forgive him, I'm not taking him back, I know he will only hurt me more.

I tightened my grip on the pendant after closing it then I stuffed it on the pocket of my jeans. I didn't even bother to say goodbye to him when I left. I just grabbed my purple coat and wrapped it around me before walking over to my own house. Now I couldn't even treat it as my own since all the memories just flowed by. I need to get out of here, leave, forget and make new memories in replace.

That's when I decided to leave Cheshire and head to a better place.

I called the only person who I know can help me. 'Jade?' She answered the phone and I sniffled a bit clearing the semi-dried tears in my eyes.

'Mum, I want to leave here. Can you take me somewhere else?' I asked my mother. The only person for now in the world that I know wouldn’t betray me and would accept me.

'Alright darling, I'll ask Sean to pick you up back there in Cheshire okay? pack up and tomorrow he will reach you there. You want to talk about it though?' She asked pity clear in her tone but I just sniffled again. Pity is the last thing I need right now.

'okay I will and can we please talk about it once I get there?' I asked and she sighed.

'Okay I need to go honey see you soon' She ended the call and I walked to my room right away for the sole purpose of packing up.

My mum had already went to South Shields along with other family since a year ago but I decided to stay just for him and right now that school had already ended and There is nothing much I hold on to, I figured out it's finally good to join my mum.

I reached for my plain maroon luggage on top of my cabinet and started throwing every article of clothing into it. Once I was done, I looked around my room to find every single memory in it. Too many pictures.

I started to trash my room, throwing every frame, vase, lamp and tearing every album and letter. All memories from him I decided to trash.

I reached my night stand and knocked out a frame into the floor. I got the photo inside of it and wanted to tear it but couldn't get myself to do it. It was the last picture that I haven't torn the last and the most important one for me.

I held it close to my heart and started crying. Why did this have to happen to me? Me out of all people? We had it all. The love, joy and laughter until I caught him sleeping with the school slut red handed. He was a jerk but I couldn't bring myself to just simply forget him.

That night I fell asleep sitting down against my floor wall, the picture in my hands and held against my chest, my face still streaked down with tears that began to dry.

They say that if you love a person you will have to learn to let go and if the love is true, it will keep coming back to you.

I'm the one to leave and if he returns then I'll have to decide that time. For now I'm just decided. I know I couldn't forget but I will still try. The first step is to stay away and not have any communication at all.

'Are you ready Jade?' Uncle Sean asked me as he secured my luggage at the trunk of his car. I gave him a polite smile and nodded. Once I boarded the Car, I grazed over my phone and deleted every text message we ever had. I then searched for his number in my contacts list.

Cheeky Boyfriend <3

It read. Before I'd even laugh at the goofy nickname at my phone but now I'm disgusted by it. I pondered for a moment before finally sighing and pressing delete to remove his contact.

You are doing the right thing.

I tell myself mentally before sighing and laying my bed back. I'm doing the right choice right? I need space. I need to be away from him.

I know I started to grow walls, from bricks to blocks, from walls to boulders, from a secure barrier into a tower. I just know I built towers against him. None other than Harold Edward Styles.
