CHAPTER 14

LIAM'S POV

What had just happened? I don't know if it was about the other night, all I know is that when she mentioned it was my heart was split in two. She had meant to ruin our moment. So that was it, she didn't have feelings for me at all. I guess I would have to forget my feelings for her. What's the point in loving someone who won't love you back?

JENNA'S POV

For the next few days it was hard. Liam was ignoring me and Louis was being the same, and it was really getting on my nerves. I decided to confront him about it.

"Louis, can I talk to you for a second?" I asked

"Can't you see I'm busy?" He said rudely and continued talking to his friend.

"But I need to talk to you." I said quietly, I could feel tears coming.

"Later." He waved me off

I turned on my heel and help my hand up to my face to hide the tears, I just couldn't take this anymore.

LIAM'S POV

I walked towards Louis when I saw him with Jenna. I was about to walk the other way when I saw Louis say something to Jenna. She turned on her heal and put her hand up to her face to cover up her tears, but they were obvious to me.

I followed after her. She started walking fast then it turned into a jog. I caught up to her, where tears were sliding down her face.

"Jenna, what's wrong?" I asked

"Just leave me alone…"

"Jenna, please, I hate seeing you like this…" I reached for her arm and stopped her.

"You were right."

"About what?" I asked, confused.

"He doesn't make me happy."

I felt so bad. She was crying and I couldn't do anything to help her, accept tell her the truth, which I knew would hurt her aswell, but I knew it was best.

"I need to tell you something." I said smoothly. I guided her to a bench and we sat side by side.

"I was angry the other day because…."

"No I understand that you don't want to tell me…"

"No I need to."

She nodded and waited for me to continue

"Louis just broke up with his long term girlfriend awhile ago. He was devastated."

"What does this have to do with me?"

I put up my hand as if to say "let me continue."

"He kept saying he wanted to move on from her. Now all of a sudden he's going out with you, don't you wonder why he treats you coldly sometimes?"

"Wait, are you saying I'm his re-bound?" She had hurt in her voice

"I'm only saying it to protect you, it may not seem like it but I am."

"Then why does he act nice to me sometimes?"

"I think he likes you, but not enough, if you get me. He does the nice stuff to get over his old girlfriend, and the mean stuff because he figures that you're not a real relationship…"

"But why me?"

"I don't know….you don't deserve this."

"How do you know all this?"

"I can see it, I'm the type of person that looks past the mask people put on."

"But I do deserve this, I mean nothing, I'm not pretty, I don't have friends, I'm not…."

"Don't you dare say that! You're not pretty, you're beautiful, anyone who isn't friends with you is a complete idiot. I don't want to hear you insult yourself again…" I hated how all girls were like this, but I hated it how Jenna did it too. She was amazing and special, and I loved her.

"Thanks Liam." She said blushing

I nodded and hugged her. Then suddenly the creature I despise came up to us.

"Hey Jenna." He said slyly

"Go away Brad." She said quietly. I knew she felt defenceless.

"Come on babe." He said, roughly grabbing her wrist.

"Get your hands off her!" I yelled

He looked at me and snickered

"I'll do what I want."

"It's because of that, that I'm angry with you." I said, getting up so I was his level.

"So the bitch told you 'eh?" He said looking at Jenna rudely

"You're lucky the police don't know…" I snapped

"Good to know, but if you don't mind, I'm just gunna…" He said reaching for Jenna

"Don't you listen? Get your hands off of her!" I screamed

"Oh, and what are you gunna do about it?"

"This!" I screamed and punched him hard in the face. Blood oozed from his mouth and nose. He deserved it.

"Stop!" Jenna yelled

I ignored her and continued throwing punches at him. Occasionally he would punch me, but they were nothing.

JENNA'S POV

I watched them fight, I couldn't do anything to stop Liam from hurting him. Brad was defenceless, and I didn't want to see anyone get hurt, even if they did deserve it.

Tears slid down my face, I didn't know what to do. Then suddenly Niall came around the corner.

"Niall!" I shouted and signalled for him to come over.

He saw that Liam was throwing punches at Brad and ran over.

"What's going on?" He asked confused, I could tell this wasn't like Liam.

"Long story, but can you stop Liam from doing this?" I panicked

By now Brad was on the ground and Liam was practically kicking him.

"Wow, calm down, Liam, stop."

Liam just continued

"Liam." He pulled his arm "He's not worth it."

"He deserves it." Liam muttered

"Is knocking him out going to satisfy you?" Niall asked "Is hurting him gunna fix it?"

Liam stopped for a second and realised what he was doing.

He looked up at me, then ran away.

"No, Liam, wait!" I yelled out. I went to go after him but Niall stopped me.

"Just leave him be."

Niall helped Brad up and he stumbled to his feet.

I helped Niall guide Brad to the front office. I went to go look for Liam but the bell went for 5th period. I would have wagged again, but last time my dad found out, and it wasn't pretty.

I made my way to geography, which was a total bludge.

"Hey Jenna." Rose said

"Hey." I said sadly

"You alright?"

"Yeah." I said then walked into the classroom. I took a seat next to Rose and her friend, I think her name was Lily.

"Yeah, I think we are in Science together, right Jenna?" Rose said, cutting me out of my gaze.

"Huh?"

"We're in Science together…" Rose said

"Oh,…yeah" I said then looked back down at my sheet.

Suddenly a piece of paper hit me on the head.

"Ow." I said and looked up. I opened up the crumpled ball and it read:

Meet me behind the art block at the end of period 6

~Lou xx

I rolled my eyes and looked back at my book, I wasn't in the mood for talking to him.

Then another paper ball hit me, it said:

Be happy!

Lou xx

I pushed it to the side and rested my head in my hands.

Yet again another piece of paper hit me:

CoMe On Be HaPpY! I LoVe YoU xxx

I got up and ripped up the pieces of paper over the bin. Bullshit you love me.
