Brooklyn Lights

Chapter 22

***Dynasty's p.o.v***

"And how do you plan on doing this then Dee?"

I know what Zayn is saying right now is true; how the hell am I supposed to fix this? Well, firstly, Liam is the cutest human being that is humanly possible and I just want to have him as a little key chain. I know Zayn probably will not agree with having Liam in my pocket but how could you? But anyway, the most specific reason is because of Emily.

She is my best friend, no actually! More then that, she's like my little sister! Meaning the fact I'm older then her. She has always been there for me not matter what the problem is and it's now my turn to be her shoulder. I know that this is ripping Liam and Emily apart, no matter how much of a stubborn mare Emily is.

I understand perfectly why Emily is afraid, but I'm going to show her the light so she sees that Liam is not a bad person, Liam is not Chris.

"Zayn, what are you doing later?"

He looks at me confused as his eyebrows start to furrow together.

"Nothing that I know of, why?"

This is brilliant. "Well, your gunna have the lads come over for the night. Got it?"

Zayn smirks and pulls me closer to him. "I love it when you talk dominatingly to me Mrs Greenhalgh."

Really? Did he really have to ruin this perfect moment?

"Really Zayn? Really? That's what you come out with."

Letting out a flirtatious laugh, I slap his arm as I start to walk away.

"Keep checking your phone! I've got a plan."

***Emily's p.o.v***

(Earlier that morning)

I really do not want to face college this morning, seriously. Liam has continuously been attempting to contact me, but I've dodged every call. I can't speak to him after this, how can I even show my face to him?

I only done this to protect myself. I can't go down the same road again, plus it's too soon isn't it? What will people think of me if I had just been with... Him and then gotten with Liam? I'd seem like such a slut. I can't handle people's feelings about this, not anymore.

I can't help but feel guilty about this entire thing with Liam. I led him on didn't I? I dove in for the kiss and gave mixed signals didn't it? This is for the best, I know it is.

Picking up my bag, I jump into my car and head straight to college. No I don't want to go in, no I don't want to face Liam or anyone else, but if I don't go in then people will start to wonder.

As I reach the college, I sit in the car park, staring out into the empty field in front of me. I'm here 1 hour early and I can't help but notice how beautiful my surroundings are.

The fog has engulfed the grass into its emptiness, the cold harsh bitterness frosting up windows, the hostile breaths of people walking past, the early birds of course.

You know, I've never sat back and admired the beauty of things in life. It's surprising how much of what's happening in your day-to-day life takes up what's going on around you.

Picking up my bag, I sling it over my shoulder and head towards the entrance of college. As I said in here an hour early so I know that the best place for me to hide out would be the 'open learning centre' as the college like to call it. Basically, the library.

Nobody will ever look for me in here so I'm free from any harassment. As I walk past a few members or staff and Thomas Barrowman, the colleges biggest dorkwad of the year, I park myself down onto the beanbags set up in the fat end of the library.
