"Why do you keep popping up everywhere I go?" I snap at him, "are you following me or something?" "You know what sucks" he turns to me, ignoring my question. "Today's society?" I say in all seriousness but he laughs. "Yes, but also, it sucks that you can only ever see yourself twice. Seeing your reflection in the mirror and in pictures... You don't get to see how your eyes light up when you talk about something you love, especially when you talk about your books. You don't get to see how beautiful you look like when you really smile. I find it odd that, you've never actually seen yourself, or anyone has seen themselves for that matter, but that's why you have me right?" he places a cigarette between his teeth and smiles. "And why exactly do I 'have' you?" "To promise you that I will be here every day to show you."

"How long have you been in here?! How much have you heard?!" He yelled as his eyes turned black. "I-I didn't hear anything I swear! I just came to get my phone," I said as I cowered back. "Niall! Didn't I fucking tell you to check if everyone left?!" He yelled as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out towards the others. "I did-" "Well it doesn't matter now. Liam put her in the fucking car. All we need is another brat to snitch on us." #Wattys2015
