chapter thirty-seven

real life

"you ready?" bella asks me, as a smirk is plastered against her face.

"a little nervous, but here we go!" i say, as i grab her hand & hop out of the car. lights we're flashing, forcing me to keep my head down, and focus on my shoes.

"amara! amara! is jack johnson really coming to your birthday party after everything that happened?" one of the press asks, as they hold a microphone up to my face.

"jack & i are not fighting. we have many multiple friends, we are both adults. it's something we dealt with maturely" i say, as she smiles as me, as i kept walking attempting to avoid the paparazzi.

as soon as bella & i got inside, the music drummed though my ears, giving me a sense of relief.

"jesus! that was crazy!" bella says, as i nod.

"i know" i yell, over the music.

"and now welcoming, the birthday girl!" the dj screams, as everyone stares at me, clapping or running over.

"happy birthday babe" madison runs over, and squeezes me into a tight hug.

"thankyou hunny!" i smile.

after attempting to talk to everyone individually, i finally made my way over towards madison, kylie, bella & gigi.

"jesus, have a drink!" bella laughs, as she hands me a drink.

"don't look now, but your ex is coming" bella says, as madison walks over & kisses jack g passionately.

"happy birthday sweet" someone says, as i turn around to harry & zayn.

"thanks guys!" i say, hugging zayn & hugging harry who kissed me on the cheek.

"how's your night so far?" harry says, as i groan.

"at the moment-" i was about to say, before i heard a glass smash. i whip my head around towards madison, to see her & jack j arguing.

"oh god" i say, as zayn & harry walked over. the girls followed us, but stayed behind.

"shut the fuck up you fucking whore!" jack j screams, as madison slapped him across the face.

"how dare you? don't come here & start a argument for no reason!" madison screams, as bella runs over & quickly grabs madison.

"are you serious jack?" i say, almost at the sound of a whisper, but he seemed to hear me.

"amara, i-i'm sorry" he says, as i felt my chest cave in. i never fully got over him, but he cheated on me.

"leave" i spat, as his face turned into regretfulness.

"amara-" he said, before zayn walked towards him.

"zayn, don't!" i say, as gigi held me back.

"zayn cares about you, when he's like this, don't get in the middle of it" she warns, but i didn't care. i ran over towards him, but before i knew it, the two boys were smashed on the floor.

"dude stop!" jack g said, throwing zayn towards the other side.

"are you really gonna stick up for him again?" madison screams as jack g rolled his eyes.

"stay out of it!" he screamed, as i saw the security run over.

"stay the fuck out of my life" i spat towards my ex, as i walked away, as the tears started streaming down my face.

i loved him, well i still do. but how can i want someone so badly, that doesn't want me?

"hey, hey, amara!" i heard someone scream, but i ignored it. i ran towards the bathroom & slid against the wall. i covered my mouth from trying to make any noise, but the bathroom door was slammed open by zayn.

"i'm so sorry" he says, as i shake my head.

"it's not your fault" i say, as i wipe the tears from my face.

"it is. i just get over protective of you, i love you as a little sister & i don't want anyone hurting you, especially some dick who can't realise your worth" he says, as he embraces me in a hug.

"this is a horrible birthday, but i might as well enjoy the rest" i sniffle, as he smiles.

"alright, lets go" he says, as we walk about. i saw jack & jack being removed from the club.

"hey, you alright?" madison runs up to me, as i nod.

"yeah, thankyou so much! are you okay?" i say, as she puts her head down.

"jack & i broke up, but it's not your fault. it was going downhill for a while" she smiles, as i frown.

this was a horrible night.
