Torn (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

* 1 month later *

* Liam's POV*

I was leaving with Danielle in a week and I still hadn't told anyone about it. I was so nervous on what they would think. I hope they're happy for me. I had to tell them at lunch today. I haven't even let any of them in my house because it is almost all packed up. I brushed my teeth and walked out of my bathroom and saw Danielle packing a few things in a box. "I can't believe you aren't done packing yet. It's been a month." She said. "Sorry, I guess I haven't really been in the packing mood." I said. She walked over to me and wrapped her hands around my neck. "Hey, it's okay. I understand. You'll be fine babe. I promise." She said. I kissed her. She always made me feel better. "I gotta run, I'm gonna be late." I said as I let go of her, grabbed an apple, and ran out the door. School was normal. It was weird to think that in a week I would just not go to school anymore. I brought Danielle to the lunch with me to help me tell everyone the news. I brought Damaris along so I could tell her with everyone else. We were all sitting at our usual table and I hit my knife against my glass like a fancy person. "Everyone, I have to say something really important." Everyone got quiet and all looked in my direction. "Well, uhm guys. I'm dropping out of college." I said. Everyone gasped and everyone looked so confused. "To move to Rome. With Danielle." Everyone started to freak out. I just stood there with Danielle while everyone shouted. Damaris actually got up and left. "Guys! I'm happy doing this. Please respect that." I shouted. "If you're happy, I'm happy Liam." Melissa said as she got up and hugged me. It eventually turned into a group hug. "Wow, first Aliyah now you." Kristi said. Everyone started to plan a little party for us. I smiled but my mind couldn't help but wonder where Damaris was. I hope she gets over this and we can still be friends. After lunch everyone went home except Danielle, she went to her Dance class. I wne t home and called Damaris like crazy. She wouldn't answer. I wonder where she was...

*Zayn's POV*

I was laying on the couch with Gia. She was on me. She wasn't showing much. You couldn't even tell she was pregnant. She still looked great. I'm actually glad you can't tell, I am putting this pregnancy off. I'm not ready to be a dad. I was going in for a kiss when there was a knock at the door. "Now isn't a good time!" I yelled. Gia giggled at me. I heard the door creaking and looked over. At the door was a girl with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes. A girl I had seen a million times, kissed a million times, and loved forever. It was Aliyah. She was dressed in a adorable skirt with a black top and her hair was pulled back. [x] I noticed what was happening. That was my girlfriend, and I was underneath another girl. "Aliyah.." I managed to say. "Zayn.." Tears were in her eyes but I didn't know if it was because of sadness or anger. Sadly, I think it was both. She couldn't even look at me. "Gia.." She said. Gia hopped off of me. "Oh god, you guys are still? You said that you... I can't believe this." Gia said. She looked at me in anger. "How could you Zayn?" Aliyah said. "I-I got her pregnant. I couldn't just leave her Aliyah. Please understand." I said. She still wasn't looking at me. "She doesn't even have a bump!" Aliyah screamed, now looking me in the eyes. Hers were puffy and filled with water. Just like when she left. "I'm only one month in." Gia said back at her. Wait, you have a bump at one month. It may be small but still a bump. "You still have a bump at one month Gia. Why don't you have a bump?" Aliyah yelled. Her cheeks went red. "I-I just don't show." She said while stuttering like a maniac. "You aren't even pregnant! You are both liars. Cheaters, and liars. I trusted you Zayn. I can't believe you. What happened to forever and ever?" Aliyah said before storming out. "Gia, you aren't pregnant?" I said as I grabbed my coat. "I was going to tell you but-" I stopped her in the middle of her sentence. "But you didn't. Go away. I have to get my girlfriend back. You were such a mistake. I wish we never happened." I said as I walked out of the flat. She ran after me. "Please wait! I'm sorry! Don't leave me!" She yelled. I knew in my heart she was a mistake. I always saw her as perfect because I was just imagining Aliyah in my head. Now, I'm seeing her for who she really is. She is an ugly, horrible, devious, lying, bitch. I just needed someone to fill the hole in my heart with. She was the only one who would get with me. She had such low standards at the time and so did I. "I never loved you Gia. I never will. You were just there to fill up the hole in my heart. You were a fake piece. Aliyah has the real piece of my heart and I need her or else I'm not complete." I said before running to the stairs. I heard Gia crying and when I turned around she was on the floor, snifling. She was constantly wiping her eyes, they were all puffy. I feel like she wasn't moving for a while. I didn't have time for her. I ran down the stairs and burst through the front of the building. I saw Aliyah walking down the street. I ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder. She whipped around and started to scream at me! "How could you do this to me?! I thought we would actually last. I believed in us. I trusted you. I can't believe this. You know, when I was at home I couldn't stop thinking how much happier I would be in your arms. How I wanted you to hold me when I was at my Mom's funeral. Only if I knew you were in another girls arms. While I was missing you, you were loving another girl. You're a cheater Zayn. What happened to forever and ever babe? Do you remember that? Do you remember holding me close and saying that to me? I remember it. Vividly actually. I remember thinking, wow, nothing will change in a month. I was so wrong. Do me a favor. Don't talk to me, don't call me, don't even think about me. You are a cheater. I never want to talk to you again. Forever and ever didn't last so long, did it?" She said. She threw the ring I gave her on the floor, and started to run. She turned around one more time. "Happy almost 7 months babe." She said in the most sarcastic voice ever, or at least tried to. She was crying so it was pretty contradicting. "Aliyah! I still love you! Please, let me explain!" I yelled. She didn't even turn around. I lost her. Gia was such a mistake. All of this was such a mistake.

*Liam's POV*

I was at home packing up a few things while Danielle was out. I was putting some dishes in a box when there was a knock on the door. Danielle was home early. I walked over and opened the door and Damaris walked into the living room enraged. "How could you!?" She yelled. "If your mad about me leaving-" I started but she cut me off. "Mad? Mad? I'm enraged! Why didn't you tell me!? I'm important too right? Because ever since she came along I seem to be left in the dust a lot! I thought we were best friends!" "We are bestfriends! And you are important! Why are you so angry? I'll come and visit?" I yelled back. "You are choosing her over me. You haven't even known her that long. You've known me since grade 6. Why am I nothing to you now." She said. "You are my bestfriend Damaris. You have always been there for me, always supported me. Why aren't you doing that now?" I said. "You seriously don't know why I've always been there. All these years, why I have dealt with all this crap." She said. I looked at her confused. "Because you're a good friend." I said. She laughed. "I've loved you Liam. For as long as I can remember. I was never good enough though, I was always just the bestfriend. I was still invisible! Now, this whore comes waltzing into your life and you fall in love with her and just leave me on my own! It's not fair! I've cared about you for so long and now, now I'm nothing." She said. She loves me? She never said anything. It's funny because I always had the biggest crush on her. That was in till I met Meagan. We met in high school. "You aren't nothing. And Danielle isn't a whore." I said. She looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you kidding me! I tell you that I'm in love with you and then all you get out of everything is that I'm nothing and Danielle is a whore. I can't believe this. You are a horrible person! I don't know why I ever loved you! And Danielle is a whore! What kind of girl just runs away with a boy, taking his whole life away! She doesn't have the right! She is inconsiderate of others!" She screamed. I felt the rage burning in me. I could burst. I hate when people talk bad about the ones I love. I could almost rip her head off right now. "SHE ISN'T A WHORE. I AM CHOOSING TO GO WITH HER." With each word I took one step closer to Damaris. You could see all her courage go down the drain and fear creep on to her face. "Get out! I hate you! You are the horrible friend! Get out! I hate you!" I screamed. "Liam, you don't mean that." She said in a whisper. "Yes I do. I hate you so much. Get out now. I hate you." I said to her one more time. She turned her face away from me and started to cry. She looked back at me and I saw this innocent girl, this poor girl who meant so much to me. A girl who'd whole world had corrupted. Her lip was quivering and her hazel puppy eyes staring at me like I was a monster. "I hate you too." She said. I noticed what I had done when she walked out the door. I just told the one who has cared about me more than anyone that I hate her. Now she hates me too. I sat down on my couch and it started to rain. The weather mirrors my mood. I sat for 5 minutes and then Danielle bursted through the door, soaked. "Oh god, it is pouring out. I hope everyone stays inside. It's supposed to get really bad." She said. I smiled at her and she sat down on the couch with me. She kicked off her heels and curled up nest to me. "You know I saw Damaris on the way up here." She said. "Really?" I said. I thought she would be gone by now. "Yeah, she was pacing in the hall and when she saw me she started to cry. It looked like she had already been crying but she bursted into tears. I tried to talk to her but she ran away. Do you know what was wrong?" Danielle asked. "I'm not sure." I lied. I hope she'll be okay.

*Damaris' POV*

I was driving in my car and everything was blurred. One because of the rain and two because I was crying like a crazy person. I was driving down an empty road and the song 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' came on by Elton John. This song reminded me of Liam. In High School I got stood up to prom and I was sitting on my front porch crying because I felt so unwanted. Then, then Liam came along. He had a date, but he told her he was sick. He had a radio with this song playing. He had a tux on and came up to me and said 'Every girl should be able to dance with someone on prom night.' So, we danced in my yard. My dad turned on the white christmas lights that we never took down and we just danced together under the stars and in the light. He was such a good friend and I was such a bad one. He was always there for me. The song kept playing and I found myself singing along and thinking of all the times we had together. Like the time we watched all of The Lion King movies at least twenty times. Everytime this song would play we would just dance together and laugh. We would sing at the top of our lungs. I started to sing so loudly in my car. I was crying even more. Then, I saw a bright light, and everything went black.
