Tiffany's POV
It was getting really dark now, and I was freezing. I wrapped myself in my towel and checked my phone.

6:22pm.

I looked around. This place was creepy at night. I had time to think back on what had been happening the past few days.

How could I have been so foolish? I bet Zayn was just waiting to get in my pants. And that whole leaving me here alone thing, what kind of asshole does that?

A small splash awakened me from my thoughts, as I peered into the growing darkness.

It wasn’t completely dark, but it was still dark. At least I could see faintly.

I scanned the lake that the waterfall dropped into.

Plop.

I jerked my head back to the other side of the lake.

Nothing…

This was really starting to freak me out.

“H-Hello?” I tried.

Plop.

I stood up, walking backwards but not taking my eyes off the water.

Plop.

Plop.

Plop.

I stumbled backwards, before running into something.

I let out a scream as I fell backwards.

I looked up to see Liam’s headlights flashing.

“Tiffany! What’s wrong?!” His eyes flooded with worry as he looked down at me.

I ran around to get in the car. Inside, it was warm and safe. I curled up in the comfy seat, my breath hitched.

Liam’s POV

“Are you ok?” I asked.

“Yeah, fine. Let’s just get out of here.” She looked at me with pleading eyes.

I turned to her, the only noise for a brief minute being the key dangling in the ignition.

“What are you doing here? You’ve been acting so strange lately, you’re not yourself anymore. We used to be so close, and now I barely get to see you. Plus, this is so unlike you, wagging school?! Where the hell did that come from? I want to know what’s going on, and I’m not starting up this car until I do.”

She took a deep breath.

The look in her eyes said it all.

Before she could speak, I cut her off. “There’s someone else, isn’t there?” I looked at her, my eyes prickled with tears, threatening to run down my face at a blink.

Tiffany’s POV

I gasped. I just realised this boy is the right one for me. He is smart, keeps me and track, caring, funny, kind, loyal to me. And I betrayed him. I’ve done nothing but backstab him. The guilt flooded through me like a disease as I looked back to see the disaster I’d created. I let the tears I had now trickle down my cheeks.

“It was a mistake. I realise that now, having you sit next to me, crying.”

“Is that what I have to do? Be heartbroken and crying next to you for you to realise?”

“Liam, no!” I cried.

“How long has this been happening?”

“Not long, I swear. I was so stupid of me; I don’t know why I did it. I wanted to see if I could, and I can’t. Liam I love you, I want to be with you.”

“How the hell am I meant to believe you when you say that?!” He slammed his hands down on the steering wheel. “You’ve been lying to me this whole time, this could just be an act!”

I’d never seen him this angry…

“Because you love me, god dammit! I made a mistake, let me fix it. We can go back to how it used to be.”

“I can’t even trust you anymore. I don’t even know who you are anymore Tiffany.” And with that, he started the ignition and drove off.

I sat back in my seat, and silently let millions of tears stream down my face.

I’d look at Liam occasionally, who had a poker face on and was looking at nothing but the road ahead of him.

The drive was long and agonising, especially with the deathly silence between me and Liam. The radio wasn’t even on, for crying out loud.

But I deserved it, I should suffer the consequences.

***

We pulled into the dorm at 7:34pm.

I climbed out and wrapped my towel around me. “Liam…?” I asked, searching for any glimmer of love in his eyes.

He’d totally blacked them out, all I could see was his brown pupils. “What?”

“Thanks for coming to get me.”

He nodded slightly, and locked his car, turned, and walked off in the other direction.

“I go this way…” I whispered as I let yet another tear fall.
