Michelle's Pov: I'm lying on the floor screaming since Veronica was kicking me. The next thing I know Niall picks her up and shoves her against the wall. "What the hell is this all about?" He screams at her. "That little bitch over there is trying to ruin me!" She spits at me. "I doubt that, Michelle would never hurt anyone. You're just a sick person and you need to stay the hell away from us. I swear, if I ever see you again you won't be as lucky." He picks her up again and throws her out the front door. She lands on the concrete in a painful looking position. Niall picks me up off the floor and sits me on the couch. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah, I think I'll be fine.

Veronica's Pov: That little bitch. I hate her so much. I get up off the concrete, I realize how much I hurt. I hope Michelle hurts more. I look beat up, though. I might as well take advantage of my injuries. I have the perfect plan for that, too. I go over to Harry's house and knock on the door and he answers. "Veronica? What happened to you?" He asks in shock. "It-It was Niall. I went over to his house to hang out with Michelle, I-I guess he got jealous and he beat me up pretty badly." I said in an injured, helpless voice."Oh my God, how bad are you hurt?" "I'm not sure." "Should you go to the hospital?" "No, can I just stay here and relax?" "Oh, of course. Wow, I can't believe Niall would do that, and for no reason too? That's just not like him." "Well, that's what happened. You know how people change." "Your nose is bleeding, Veronica." "It is?" I wipe my face with my arm and see a bunch of blood on it, oh this could not of been more perfect. "So he got jealous and just beat you up? I don't know, that is not like him at all. Niall wouldn't hurt anybody." "Well he beat me!" I cried. Harry sat there in shock for a while. "Did he hurt Michelle at all?" "What? I don't know." I said. Why is he thinking of Michelle? He should be concerned about me. I'm his girlfriend! "Maybe I should call Niall and see what happened." "No! I already told you and how could you even want to talk to that abuser. He's no good. I don't want you hanging out with him anymore." "What? But he's my friend." "Still? Look at what he did to me! You find this normal? And shouldn't you be a little bit more worried about me? Get me some ice." He goes in the kitchen and grabs some ice. Some boyfriend he is. "Why don't you get some rest. That might be good for you." "Fine."

Harry's Pov: Veronica lays down on the couch. "I can't sleep with you staring at me." She says. "Okay, well, I'll go upstairs." "Whatever." I sneak out the door and walk to Michelle's house. I knock on the door and her mom answers. "Can I help you?" "Is Michelle here?" "I don't think she should have any visitors." "Please, I really need to talk to her." "I guess, come in." I walk in and her mom leads me up to Michelle's room. "Michelle?" I see her, she's all bloody and bruised as well. Niall must have attacked her too." Michelle looks up. "Harry?" "Yeah." "What are you doing here?" "I came to check on you. You got beat up, too?" "Yeah. Kicked, punched, even spat at. Can you believe it? Just out of no where, pow!" "Why?" "I'm not sure. I must have uncovered something, I don't know. Just a random attack." "Are you okay?" "Besides my wounds, I still have good spirits. Guess I'll be missing some school, which is quiet okay with me. With Kelsey and Laura friends now, I won't have anyone to hang out with, so might as well be home." "That's terrible." "Yeah, I know." "So what are you gonna do?" "Lie in my bed and wait to heal." "Wait, so are you and Laura still friends?" "I don't know. She hasn't tried contacting me and when I go over there Laura acts all strange and makes me leave." My phone rings. Veronica, who else. "Hey." "Where the hell are you? I tried looking for you all over and you're not around." "I'm in Michelle's room with Michelle." "What? You're in her bedroom? Get over here now, I'm injured, care for me!" She screamed and hangs up. "Guess you got to go?" Michelle asks. "Yeah, guess it's a crisis when I leave my own house, how dare I?" I joke. Michelle laughs and I leave. I drive by Laura's house and think of how great she is. And how awful Veronica is. I walk in my house and Veronica is waiting for me. "Michelle's house? Really? You're going to the girl's who boyfriend beats me ups house?" "She was beat too, I just wanted to make sure she was okay." "Well was she?" "Yeah." "Well there you go, now you know."

Laura's Pov: I walk into school the next day and, since we're in public Kelsey won't talk to me, I look for Michelle but I can't spot her anywhere. I text her a few times but she never responded. I hope she's not that mad at me. I have been ignoring her for like three days and hanging out with our enemy. I also notice Veronica isn't here either. Also, I noticed Harry wasn't around much either. Where is everybody? Guess this day I'm gonna be alone. Then I get a text from Michelle, finally. 'Sorry I'm not at school but there has been an incident and I might not come in for a while.' What is that suppost to mean? What happened? Now I'm all worried. Why couldn't she tell me what happened? She still sees me as her friend, right? Now all these scenarios of what might of happened keep flashing through my mind. It's not like her to stay home because someone's mad at her or because she thinks I don't want to be her friend anymore, that's not it. I wish I could talk to her. You know, I also miss talking to Harry. Even if he likes Veronica more, we could still talk some. Where is everybody? Why are they all disappearing? First Harry, then Veronica, now Michelle? Well, I don't mind Veronica being gone, but Harry and Michelle? It's just not like them.
