Betrayal

Chapter 1

"Hey Ireland, could ya do me a favor and pick out an outfit for me?"

You little lazy bitch.

"Yeah, sure."

"Thanks bb."

One word to describe my old best friend, selfish. She had everything she could ever want, a beautiful house, loving family, and all the money in the world. She lived a perfect life until last summer when her mom got in a car accident and immediately died. Now obviously that's not what any girl dreams of to happen the summer before her senior year in high school. Hannah used to be this pure, gentle, free spirited girl until her mothers passing. I was there for her all summer, or at least tried to be. She was always gone messing around with a boy named Jessie. I felt as though I had lost someone as well, my best friend. Eventually her and Jessie ended up just being a summer fling and she came crawling back to me as a shoulder to cry on.

"Ireland! Are you gonna lay in my bed all day or are you gonna help me pick an outfit?"

"Yes my fucking queen. Just give me a minute will ya?"

"C'mon. I don't know what to wear for my date with Harry."

Yeah Harry. Harry Styles who was MY best friend until you took him from me. Did I mention that Hannah and Harry started to date after the whole crazy fiasco and that they kept it a secret from me starting from January all the way up until April. They dated behind my back for three FUCKING months! I remember not talking to the both of them when they told me. I was beyond heartbroken because I thought Harry was going to ask me out for some stupid reason. What makes it so sad is that I should've seen the signs too. Whenever I hung out with Harry, Hannah would tag along. Also whenever we'd go to "our" forest, Harry and Hannah would stay behind while I would walk ahead and be too busy taking pictures while they'd mack out behind a tree.

You could say I'm one to hold a grudge. Since I haven't really hung out with the both of them together after we graduated and I left to Europe for a month.

Her entire closet was filled with black and grey skimpy clothing. She never wore black until I did junior year. It's been my favorite color for awhile and that's all I seem to wear with an occasional color here and there. I ended up just grabbing her a black crop top that tied around the neck, and acid washed high waisted skinnies, and paired it with her floral doc martins.

"Here ya go Hannah. Look I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go meet up with Luna."

Hannah looked at me confused. "Well Harry is gonna be here in like five minutes if you wanna stay and say hi. He hasn't seen ya in a month babe."

"Yeah well you could just tell him I said hi cause I need to go, bye Hannah."

Ever since I had found out about Hannah and Harry dating, things just weren't the same. All this time I had been falling harder for Harry but in reality he was just falling in love with my best friend.

I was walking out of Hannah's house looking at my phone when I bumped into someone with a messy head of curly locks and breathtaking green eyes.

"Hi Ireland, I've missed you."

I hate you so much. I honestly can't stand you.

"That's nice, well I'm kind of in a rush Harry so I'll see ya arou-"

He grabbed me by my arm.

"Ireland what did I do to you for you not want to talk to me or even answer my calls?"

He's kidding right? Tell me he's fucking lost it.

"Let's see Harry, maybe it's the fact that you're not going to the school of your dreams just because SHE fucking couldn't stand the thought of you leaving her. Or maybe it's the fact that you were my best friend before SHE came in and took you away from me! Or maybe it's the fact that you've lost your family and everything else because of her! OR MAYBE ITS THE FUCKING FACT THAT YOU LIED TO ME BEHIND MY BACK FOR THREE MONTHS!"

"Look Ireland it's hard on me already just listen to me-"

"No Harry! I'm fucking done! I'm done with hearing about how hard it is on you and her! I know already! I get it! Your love for each other is just completely unbearable correct? That six months together is a real life changer and that I have no idea what you guys are going through right? Well fuck you and your stupid ass happi-"

He was kissing me. I couldn't believe that my best friend was kissing me outside my ex best friends house. Even though I had been waiting for the day that Harry would kiss me I knew this was absolutely wrong. Even though I hated Hannah for all that she's done, I still cared about her and knew I was betraying her. This was wrong. I pushed Harry off of me and slapped him right across his left cheek.

In the smallest voice I said," I hope it was worth it."

He looks at me with the saddest of eyes.

"The kiss?"

"No."

"Then what?"

"Loving her."

"I know, I know. Don't cry Ireland everything will be okay."

But everything wasn't ever going to be okay. I had lost both of my best friends and I was miserable.

"Please bae don't be sad. I invited Davis, Chris, Danny, and Toby."

"Luna you honestly are my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without you."

"I know, tell me something I don't know already. Anyways go take a shower and get ready bae we have some hectic company coming our way."

She was right the boys were absolutely insane. But I loved every single one of them even though we tormented each other and would occasionally fight over stupid shit.

I literally lived at Luna's house. She was in fact my best friend and she wasn't a fan of Harry and Hannah's which made me love her even more. Luna and I had become real close the end of junior year and we've been inseparable since.

I grabbed my shampoo that I keep at her house and went into the bathroom to turn on the shower. I was just done undressing when Luna walks into the bathroom.

"Well looks who's lost a shit ton of weight without me, you bitch."

"Hahaha fuck you luna. I'm only thin right now cause food was expensive in Europe and I wasn't down to spend like a hundred dollars on each plate."

"Shit maybe I should go to Europe every once in awhile."

I rolled my eyes and stepped into the shower. Everyone knew how close Luna and I were since we were naked in front of each other all the time which was normal cause we basically are sisters. Her family is extremely loving and always take care of me.

The warm water felt amazing on my entire body. I ran my fingers through my hair before putting shampoo, rinsing, and then conditioner. After my shower I went into Luna's room and tried to find something to wear. I found a loose black t shirt and paired it with black distressed high waisted shorts. I grabbed my maroon Jeffrey Campbell creepers and put my hair in a half up bun sort of thing that all these so called "soft grunge" girls are doing nowadays. My makeup was always the same, dramatic cat eye and mascara with very little powder. I heard the doorbell when Luna yelled," GET THE DOOR FOR ME WILL YA!"

I rush downstairs and open the doors.

"Hey slut, we're here."
