Maybe, Just Maybe.

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Ed swore. Quite a lot.

“Soph? Are you ok?” He scurried over to my bed and helped me down. Everything was spinning. He helped me sit down onto the floor, and crossed his legs next to me. After a few minutes my vision went back to normal.

“What happened?” he asked, looking like he was a little scared.

“I just jumped up and thumped my head on the ceiling when I saw you. I thought you were Mel.”

“I’m so sorry Soph. I really didn’t mean to frighten you,” he sighed, looking down at his shoes.

“Don’t worry...honestly.” I smiled, trying not to puke. He got up and went into the bathroom. Why had it happened again? We were with each other, only this time in my room. I really didn’t want to seem like I was shooing him away, but I just felt like for every second I spent with him, I was betraying Al. He returned with a glass of water. “Thanks,” I said as he sat down next to me with the glass.

“Oh this isn’t for you.” He said, looking at the glass of water.

“Oh,” I could feel my cheeks turning bright red.

“Aw don’t blush I was only kidding,” he smiled, passing the water to me.

“Oh,” I smiled, knowing I still looked like a tomato. “Thanks. Why were you here anyway?”

“I came to see if you wanted to talk about what made you upset earlier. Y’know in the corridor.” he nodded.

“Oh.” I sipped the water.

“I really am going now. Sorry again.” he smiled, jumping up and walking over to the door. “I promise I won’t come in and surprise you again. Well, not in the meantime anyways.” he chuckled, waving a little and shutting the door behind him.

My emotions were so, so mixed up.

Shortly after, Mel called me.

“Hello?” I said.

“Hun what happened?” she screeched. How on Earth did she know something had gone wrong?

“What?”

“You and Al.” she said quietly.

“We’re not together anymore Mel.” I sighed.

“I will be there in like a minute hun. Don’t move.” she hung up. I thought I’d check my Facebook feed while I was waiting.

I wasn’t friends with Nicki on Facebook, but I was with Al, who was friends with her. He had shared her status that had been posted earlier that morning. It read; “Waking up with my boy beside me this morning was amazing. Thanks for last night baby <3” She had tagged Al in the status. I thought it couldn’t get any worse. Then I saw her profile picture. It was her and Al. She had her legs wrapped around his waist and he was holding her up by her butt. Her hands were gripping onto his face and they were kissing.

I actually felt my stomach tie into a million knots. I felt so sick. I threw my phone onto the floor and just stared at the screen.

A few moments later, someone banged hysterically on the door. I knew it would be Mel.

“It’s open” I whispered. The door flung open and Mel ran in. She closed the door, throwing her bag on the floor and ran over to me.

“What happened?” she hugged me, but I didn’t move a muscle. “What’s wrong Soph?” she called to me as if I was miles away. I pointed to my phone. The shared status was still open. She picked it up and read it. After a few seconds she looked up at me. I was literally about to start crying again.

“Don’t waste another precious tear on that asshole Soph. Seriously.” she embraced me in a hug again. As she looked back down at the phone, she looked confused. “Wait a minute, is that her profile picture?” she asked, clicking on the icon. I nodded, a tear falling down my cheek as I blinked. “The little…” she spat. She may have sworn a little more, calling Nicki various things for having that on her page. “That’s it. I am so fed up of this.” she stated. (Once again she swore during that sentence but I’m just going to filter those bits out for you)

She stood up, my phone still in her hand and stormed out of the room, leaving the door open. I stood up and tried to run after her, but my legs actually wouldn’t move. I tried so hard, staring at them, but I just froze to the spot. I heard a massive banging on a door. The motivation enabled me to crawl to the door at snail speed. The door opened and I heard Liam’s voice,

“Hey babe what’s up?” he sang.

“Don’t touch me,” Mel frowned, shoving past him.

“What did I do?” he asked, turning around after she had budged him out of the way. I wanted to stop her, but at the same time I didn’t want to be anywhere near Al and I wasn’t fond on being too involved with Ed either. Suddenly, Mel shouted like I’ve never heard her shout before.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” she screamed. I didn’t know who at because I was still stood in the doorway of mine and Mel’s room. I could only peak around the door, but I had to see what was going on.

I walked down the hall. Liam was still stood in the doorway - the door was open.

“Do you have any idea what’s going on?” he asked me. I stared at him blankly. I looked into the room. Mel was stood on the floor looking up at Al and Nicki who were both sat up, under the covers of Al’s bed.
