The Little
Things
~Chapter
9~
I pick at my food quietly, sitting on the
couch, watching the guys goof off. Well, except for Liam.
He's too busy oogling at Danielle to notice the rest of the
world. Then it hits me, I know what I have to do to get Liam
really jealous! "Harry, wanna take a walk, I really need to
talk to you," I use my most flirty face, knowing Harry
really can't resist a little batting of the eyelashes.
"Sure, Valarie, of course," He stands up quickly,
leaving the guys and following me outside. "So, what's
up?" He asks when we're outside. "I've missed
you," I say, staring at the ground, walking slowly.
"Yeah, well, try being in the same room with Liam the past
five months," He rolls his eyes. "What do you
mean?" I try not to sound too eager. "The only thing he
can talk about it you, he misses you," Harry mumbles,
looking the other way. "Really?" I ask. "Well he
can find a new best friend anyway," I shrug. Harry grabs my
arm to stop me, "No, Valarie, he can't." He lets go
and we start to walk again, I keep silent. "Besides,
that's not what I meant anyway," Harry laughs. I stare
at his face in amazement before we decide to head back.
When we get back, I keep to myself, but all the time, I'm
watching Liam and Danielle. I watch the way he stares at her, the
way she laughs when he tickles her. I watch as her eyes light up
when she looks at him.. And I wonder if that's how we were
those two days when we were a possible couple. No, I shake my
head, thinking to myself. We were different. How? Liam's eyes
werern't dead when he looked at me. He was alive. We were
alive. I ask my mom to leave early, I can't stand watching
Liam pretend to love someone just to hurt me anymore.
Two days later, a picture of Harry and I is on the cover of a
magazine, just as I had planned. He calls me and we laugh it off,
but I secretly hope Liam sees it. What Harry said last night,
though, it makes me wonder if this is all worth it. Then I
remember the way he stared at Danielle, my heart crumbles and I
know my answer. I walk into the kitchen right as I hear my name
on the Tv. I walk over and turn the volume up. "What the
hell," This wasn't scheduled. "So, after seeing
these pictures," Two photos of me in a club a few weeks ago,
dancing with guys flash on the screen, "What do you
think?" The reporter comes back on. I start to breathe
heavy. "Is Valarie the idol everyone thinks she is? Or is
she just another trashy teenage girl blown way out of
proportion?" I recognize the woman as someone I used to
watch. Her show's all about trashing celebrities, I'd
always found it funny. The pounding in my head reminds me of how
cruel she is, and how it's really not funny at all. I sink to
the ground and start to rock, crying. Mr.Manson will be mad,
it's too early for some party girl scandal to come out. Mom
will be mad that I'm ruining my reputation. I start to sob
and I don't stop.
It's late, but I haven't moved from my spot on the floor.
Mom hasn't come home. Suddenly the door opens, and I'm
too nervous about the trouble I'll get in to be scared.
"Val?" It's too dark to know who it is, but the
familiar nickname makes me look up anyway. He sits down next to
me and pulls me in his arms, cooing soothing words in my ear.
"Did you hear what she said?" I ask, my voice breaking.
I feel him nod against the top of my head. "I didn't do
anything wrong," I shake my head. "I'm not a bad
girl," I whisper, my lips quivering.
"I know, Val, I know," He whispers, kissing the top of
my head.

does he mean when he says he knows she's not a bad girl? Does
he forgive her? Lemme know what you think! Omg you guys,
