CHAPTER 3
KATE’S POV
That’s not like Ali. That is definitely not like Ali. She is one of the kindest, nicest, funniest people you will ever meet. She is glaring daggers at Harry and I am shocked to see hatred but most of all pain in her eyes. Something happened between them. But they’ve never even met.
“We have to go” she growls and turns her heel, expecting me to follow her. I do, after casting Harry an apologetic look. He looks shocked at her reaction. Probably used to girls drooling and screaming over him while Alana just blew up at him. Too much fight is in that girl. She takes after her father. The one who used her like a broken toy.
“Ali what’s with you and Harry?” I ask her, touching her arm gently, she jerks it out of the way of my touch. I look into her eyes and they are threatening to spill over with tears. Now I know that the famous Harry Styles, one of my idols, one of my future husbands, has hurt my little cousin.
“Nothing” she says quietly and blinks hard a few times, not letting the salty tears spill over on to her cheeks.
“My ass” I say simply, trying to get her to spill the beans. She moves away from me and into a shop filled with dresses. There is only one other person in there browsing and I swear she looks familiar. Ali walks over the where the full length ones are. A bit of class she would say. I remember her Prom dress. She looked gorgeous
I browse through the racks next to the curly haired girl, trying to find something else for Alana to wear tonight. It’s meant to be really fancy so she will go for class, not skank.
“Indecision?” the girl asks me politely with a little smile on her face. Something clicks and it is like meeting Harry again
“Yep” I say “How are you Danielle?” I add after a while, trying to keep my inner fan girl down as I have just met one of my idols.
ALANA’S POV
My hands are shaking as I chose a full length, blue silk dress from the rack. I breathe in deeply. Forget that you ever saw him again. My hands tighten around the smooth material as I remember that day.
“You bitch!” she screams and slaps me across the face, bringing tears to my eyes as my cheek smarts. I have no words to defend because everything she said was true, everything I did was true. The boy walks down stairs, hair messed up from what happened
“Go, you are dead to me” she hisses and turns to face him, with a welcoming smile on her face. From the devil to the angel. I grab my bag, the image of him stuck in my mind. For this first time I don't see him with warmth in my heart, I see him with pain. One day, I will get revenge
I let a tear spill over my face then my sadness turns to anger. Which turns into hate. Hate for the boy who ruined my life.
“Hey Ali, I made a friend” Kate says in my ear. I wipe my face of emotion before I turn around to face her with another person. She seems really nice but a little shy if I do say so myself. I put a smile on my face
“Hey, I’m Alana Patterson, and you?” I ask her politely, something that must be pain resounds in my voice because she looks at me in a concerned way. Even my voice sounds hollow, like my heart.
“Danielle Peazer” she says, still looking at me with an increased worried expression on her face. A stranger worrying about a girl who is secretly broken.
“Pleased to meet you Danielle” I say, forcing my smile to get wider. My mouth twitches and that’s it for my smile.
“Danielle is Liam’s boyfriend” Kate whispers to me quietly, I cast her a look. ‘Stalker’ I mouth to her. She gives me a jokingly shocked expression. My mouth twitches again into a real smile. Kate is one of the only people who can make me laugh when I am down. It also helps that we are both good actors. I can always pretend that I'm something I'm not. A happy girl sheilding a broken heart from the world.
Another person walks into the shop and it looks like Kate is about to pass out. Are you kidding me? More One Direction people? Yay…
“Hey love, made some more friends?” he asks her in a thick British accent. I like those sorts of strong accents. I still have no idea of who is but they seem to be in love
“More like acquaintances” I butt in, not sure about where this conversation will lead us. I glance over at Kate and she is… oh God, not again
“Guys, don’t look now but my cousin is doing her happy dance” I say, covering their eyes with my hands. I peek through my eyelids, why isn’t my cousin normal? Why does she have to krump in the middle of a store?
“I really want to see this” the Liam guy says pushing my hand away from his eyes, I groan inwardly at the sight he must be seeing. He starts laughing causing my other hand to be removed from Danielle’s face. She starts laughing as well. I keep my eyes closed, not wanting to my cousin make a fool of herself.
“What are you lads laughing about?” a familiar voice asks, one that sends burning rage throughout my body and makes my fist automatically clench. I feel myself change, from the broken heart to hatred in heart.
“Nothing much Harry” Liam chuckles, still laughing at the sight of Kate who is still dancing. I move away, keeping my head down as I’m grabbing the dress off the rack. Past Kate who is still acting like an idiot. I need to enrol her in a mental insitution.
I slip into the red curtained change rooms before the tears fall and slip on the blue dress, fiddling with the zip. A drop of water falls on the sky blue dress, staining the silky material a darker blue. I wipe the rest from my cheeks and gaze at myself in the mirror, seeing that there is another figure.
“Get out of here Styles” I growl coldly and fling myself around to face him, tilting my head to look up at the taller boy. He leans against the wall with a smirk on his face.
“You know, I would much prefer to see that dress on the floor” he says with that same little smirk on his face. I swear I’m going to wipe it off for him and with that I feel the anger rise up in me. I push it down. Don’t go all rage at him in a public place like this. Save it for later.
“You think that you are a smooth talking ladies’ man Styles, but in reality, you’re a twat. Now piss off” I snarl at him. Harry’s eyes nearly pop out of his head and he walks off angrily. Woah. Did I just say that? I never say things like that. I’m supposed to be the nice one.
I hear the curtain open again and it’s Kate this time. She faces me with a small, sad smile on her face and worry in her eyes.
“What’s up with you and Harry?” she asks me again. This time I am going to answer her. I sigh.
“Well, this is how it started” I whispered, looking down at my hands. This is the story I have never told anyone. This is where everything went wrong
