What. The. Hell.

"But I love Louis." Andrea's last four words hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't believe this. She played me. She led me on and I fell for it. I can't believe I was so stupid to fall for her bullshit. I bet they were lies she told me. I bet she said them to make me feel bad for her and kiss her. God, I'm so stupid.

I walked away. I couldn't stand to be near her right now. I was gonna lose my shit on her. I stormed back into the waiting room, sitting back down on the seat. I rubbed my hands over my face, crossing my arms over my chest.

I thought she was different. I thought she was special. I thought she was better than all the other girls but I guess I was wrong. She's just like all the others, playing with my feelings and then letting me down. She's a liar. She's a fake. And I don't want anything to do with her anymore.

"Is everything okay?" I heard Zayn ask. Andrea came back in the room and sat on the floor next to Harry. She didn't look at me once and I really didn't want to look at her right now either.

"Everything's fucking fantastic." I barked, clear sarcasm and frustration in my voice. Maybe she'll get the hint that I'm angry with her from it. I glanced down at her, she just looked the other way.

"What happened?" Harry questioned, looking at me with a confused look, then down at Andrea next to him. Andrea didn't jump up to reply so out of pure anger, I beat her to it.

"What happened?" I shouted, rising to my feet, my eyes narrowed on her. "I fell for a dirty scumbag is what happened. I fell for a brat that was abused and tortured her entire life. I fell for a prissy princess that ran away and went to London to be put in a foster home. Or were they lies? Maybe I fell for a liar who decided to tell me lies for my sympathy. I fell for a dumb little bitch who likes to lead people on and make them feel like shit after."

Andrea turned to me. Her eyes turned bloodshot and tears were already streaming down her cheeks. I could see a heart, broken, like it was glass and someone just dropped it on the floor from five feet above the ground. Her chin wobbled. She wanted to speak, I could see it, but it was too late. What's done is done. And to be completely honest, I don't feel any sympathy or apology.

"That is what happened."

She didn't say a word but instead sat there, speechless of what to say. I don't know if this was a real feeling she felt or if she was doing this for attention but it sure as hell wasn't working on me anymore.

I didn't look at the others but I could tell they were blown away. I could feel from the presence that they were puzzled with confusion. I don't know if they were mad at me or just as frustrated with Andrea as I was. Harry was staring down at poor little Andrea. Zayn leaned his elbows on his knees and rubbed his face. Liam just looked at me, at first stunned, then realization dawned on him and he just shook his head in disappointment.

A doctor came out, older and sleep deprived. Not the same doctor from yesterday night. "Andrea?" He called out amongst, all of our attention turning to her. "Louis wants to see you."

She didn't move. Instead kept her focus on me. The tears still rolling. She didn't sob, but she didn't stop them either. I couldn't look at this. I shook my head, scoffing, then storming out of the room. There was no way I was gonna watch her walk off to her Louis. There was no way I was going to let her get to me.

Especially not if I have feelings for her.
