You wouldn't believe what I was doing right now.

George pulled me into his chest tighter, gripping me and rubbing my back as I cried.

"I have to say again that I'm really really sorry, Jana." George told me.

"I know you are and I'm sorry I never gave you a chance." I said apologetic. Tears continued to run down my face effortlessly. I should have forgave him earlier, no matter how much he hurt me. Behind the George I grown to get used to, he was a pretty decent person.

"I love you, you are a big part of my life." George said softly. "If I lost you...When I said there'd be no point in living I wasn't lying." He said that he loves me...Was I hallucinating? But I knew he meant it by his voice. Even if what George did was totally out of it, I knew he felt compunctious and I was prepared for a new start.

After a lot of yelling, I don't even know how we ended up like this. It sort of just, happened. George was guilt-ridden and I could see it clearly now.

"I...I love...I love you too...Dad."

His eyes grew a tremendous amount and his grip around me grew tighter. I felt a few tears of his slid down until they melted on me. I had just called George Dad for the first time in...Ever.

The next morning I woke up with bags under my eyes. Last night I stayed up really late due the misunderstanding yesterday and the fact I hadn't even touched my homework. I went down stairs slow and lazily. Another long and tiring day ahead of me.

"Good morning." I smiled to George who was already sat on the breakfast table. He happily replied the same in return. I again grabbed a granola bar and went to put my shoes on. I was already late, the only way i'd make it too class in time was if I ran. But just as I opened the door, like yesterday, I was stopped by George.

"Do you want a ride?" He asked me.

"Um.. but we don't have a car,I mean..." I said, still wanting to sprint to get to school. And no, it's not because I love school. But because it was first period Phys Ed and the teacher already hated me enough.

"Not to worry, yesterday I got a loan from the bank and bought that." He explained pointing out the window. I was fast at recognizing, the car in front of our house was of my mom Dana's Range Rover.

"Oh my god! How'd you..what..but." I said confused.

George shrugged. "Well I got the job yesterday."

I squealed in amazement.

"And well I sorta re-bought the car and it was dropped off here this morning." He finished, "So do you?"

George drove me to school that day. It was a miracle of how in less than twelve hours, we had put our differences aside.

Despite the rush in the halls, I made it on enough to avoid my fussy gym teacher's lectures. At lunch Ashley and I went to our regular seats, which also happened to used to be mine and Zayn's before.

"Last night I couldn't sleep." Ashley told me.

"Tell me about it," I complained. "I could barely wake up this morning! School sucks, doesn't it?"

"No seriously, I couldn't sleep." She sighed, "Thoughts after thoughts. Don't you hate that when that happens?"

"Oh what were you thinking about?" I asked curiously.

"Uh well you know...Life." She shrugged, "I was just thinking about how my life just changed...like really fast. It's a crazy thought."

"Ya, I totally get that. I wonder how Zayn and the boys feel." I considered, "I seriously didn't think me and Zayn'd ever be apart. Then I met the other boys, and they're just great. It's amazing right?" Ashley laughed.

"Mine's changed enough I don't think I could handle that!" Ashley chuckled.

"Ashley," I said carefully, "Was it a good change for you?"

She took a minute and looked at the table progressing thoughts.

"Actually, very much." She said still staring down. "Really good. I look back now and I don't even know who I used to be...We're like two different people now. To think I used to bully you and now the two of us are really close friends...Whoa I was a bitch." I beamed at her statement. "And it was all because of you I think, I.."

Ashley couldn't complete her words because the cafeteria was interrupted by a scream. All heads turned to the side in a flash. Not far from where we were sat, I saw a new student who's name I learned was Krystal, on the ground covering her face. Three guesses in who was responsible for her in tears? Mandy, the new school bully of course. Just like usual, Mandy scurried away with her entourage following.

"That's what you call a bitch." I referred. Ashley's jaw dropped.

"Was I really like that?" She gasped. I tapped her on the arm nodding. She shook her head disappointed. "Come on." She said pulling me up.

"Where?" I asked. Ashley didn't answer until she dragged me over to the girl still on the ground by herself. She looked like she was in the year or two under us, yet Mandy wasn't one to care. I watched in admiration as Ashley lent down and put her arms around her. Ashley whispered some things to the her which made Krystal smile, then helped her up.

"Don't you let Mandy get to you're head okay?" Ashley guided. Krystal smiled again then hugged Ashley before leaving.

"Wow, what'd you say?" I asked Ashley.

Ashley shrugged, "Just some stuff I bet she wanted to hear. But as I was saying earlier, I got influenced by you."

She squeezed my hand and we shared a grin.

At home as I finished up my essay the phone rang loudly on the table, making me jump.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey!" Replied Zayn on the other end of the receiver.

"How've you been?" I said accordingly.

"Great." He answered, "But I called because the date of the After Party has changed so instead of it being on Friday, it'll be on Thursday. Just a heads up, you know."

"Oh Okay, that's fine." I said, "Just skipping school, totally fine with me." I heard him laugh. "Oh and Zayn, you don't mind Ashley coming right?"

"Oh well I guess not." He said slightly clouded, "You guys are friends now I see?" I totally forgot Zayn had no idea.

"Ya! Who would've knew?"

"Haha well see you Thursday then!" Zayn ended, "Bye!"

Kay so this isn't a too good chapter because I didn't have that great of an after school,but here you go! I'm know it's a filler chapter, but hope you like it anyways :) The next chapter'll be of the after party so definatly expect the boys to be in it! And the next chapter'll probably also be the last 'chapter' before the Epilogue! Can you believe it? x
