Tearing Me Apart *On Hold*

Elaina’s POV

She just was freaking out. She busted out crying and freaking out, saying,”I don’t want to be like them. I don’t want to be a slut.” What is she talking about? Okay, she kissed Zayn. That doesn’t automatically make you a slut. It just means that they are having difficulty knowing where they stand in their heart. She finally stopped and looked at herself in the mirror. I guess she forgot that I was in there. Marissa and the others had came in the middle of her meltdown. They gave me a questioning look. I just shrugged my shoulders.

“Care to explain.” Marissa asked.

Kaitlynn turned around and gave a weak smile. “What is there to explain?”

“Don’t play stupid with me, Kaitlynn. We walk in seeing you freak out, saying I don’t want to be a slut. Please tell us what’s going on.” Marissa asked. Marissa’s eyebrows narrowed and she stepped forward to Kaitlynn.

Kaitlynn glanced over at me, then gave her undivided attention to Marissa. “I would love to tell you, but it’s nothing I can tell people right now. It’s not my secret really.”

“What about that slut comment you made?” Marissa continued.

Kaitlynn’s lip quivered and I knew she couldn't take it anymore. She was broken, both on the inside and the outside. I ran up to her and gave her a hug. She cried into my shoulders. I glared at Marissa. She glared back.

“What’s your fucking problem? Can’t you see she’s hurting? You wouldn't like it if somebody attacked you. Just leave her alone for the moment.” I said, smoothing out Kaitlynn’s hair.

“Whatever.” Marissa said, walking out of the bathroom, following behind her was Perrie and Eleanor.

“They are such jerks. I wonder if anybody at her university told her that she’s walking with a boot up her ass.” I said. Kaitlynn laughed. Her laugh got louder and louder.

“My gosh! I think somebody did, but she chose not to change her act or her attitude.” Kaitlynn said. It felt good to hear her cheering up a bit. “Elaina, can I tell you something?”

“Sure, go ahead.” I said. I’m glad I’m that friend she can go to and tell her secrets. We’ve always been like that ever since we met.

“Zayn was my first.” She whispered. Tears started to pour down her face, uncontrollably.

“What do you mean?” I asked. Could it be what I think it could be? Did they ever date in the past?

“He was my first kiss, my first time, and my first best friend.” Kaitlynn said. She moved across the bathroom and faced me.

“Did you guys ever date?” I asked. She shook her head.

“No. It just hurts me so much that he’s with Perrie now. She doesn't even like me and I don’t know why.” She put her head in her knees and just sat there. “I’m thinking about going to my mom’s house for a week or two.”

“When are you planning on leaving?” I asked.

“Tonight. I’m going to tell Justin I’m ready to go home and tell him where I’m going. Please don’t tell the others. I’m just going to get some fresh air and to get out of London for a couple of weeks.” She said.

“I won’t.” I said. “Now let’s get cleaned up before we go back out there.”

Zayn’s POV

Perrie, Eleanor, and Marissa came back from the bathroom. Marissa looked extremely pissed as she sat down and put her head on Harry’s shoulder. Perrie grabbed my arms and kissed my cheek.

“What’s wrong with Kaitlynn?” I asked.

Perrie shrugged her shoulders and sat back. “I really don’t know. We walked in and she was freaking out. She was saying,’I don’t want to be like them. I don’t want to be a slut.’ Do you know anything about that?”

I thought back to high school. All of those sluts that I talked to, but never really paid attention to them. I don’t see why Kaitlynn would be bothered by that.

“I don’t know what she’s talking about. Did anything else happen?” I asked, putting my hand on Perrie’s shoulder.

“Marissa said some things to her until she couldn't respond. It was pretty funny to me, you know. Seeing her on the floor crying her eyes out because of the questions.” Perrie said, laughing a little. What ever happened to the girl I fell in love with? Where was she? Because this isn't the Perrie Edwards I fell in love with.

I got up and stormed out of the restaurant. Why can’t my fiancee accept my best friend? I never got jealous when she hung out with her friend David. I let her hang out with him whenever she wanted.

“Zayn, wait up!” Somebody yelled. I looked back and saw Perrie.

“I don’t want to deal with you right now. Just leave me alone.” I said. I got in the car and drove off. She’s just going to have to find somebody else to drive her home because I really don’t feel like dealing with her crap right now.
