Read Between The Lines

Part 3

Looking at their 'famous' faces I glanced over at them as they stared back at me in shock.

'What?!' I yelled at them 'never seen a girl in an alley crying before? Not that you would even care. For fucks sake just go and leave me alone.' I panted from all the yelling 'Everyone else does'... I mumbled as an afterthought.

They continued to just stare at me and slowly I could feel myself getting angrier as I got to my feet. 'Wait stupid me! Of course you've all never seen a girl in an alley crying your ONE DI.. Fucking… RECTION. Your lives are perfect; you only surround yourselves with the best, the prettiest girls and the most amazing clothes. Why would you ever even stop to look at a girl in an alley way, now if you excuse me I have to get back to my shitty life'.

Suddenly a combination of everything I had been through that day hit me all at once, and I did something that I had never done before. I cried in front of people as; without warning I slumped down on the floor and felt the wet tears streaming down my face. Even with 5 boys watching me, 5 famous boys I felt even more alone than ever.

I didn't even give a thought to the fact that I probably looked like shit the little make-up I had on  running everywhere, it’s not like I didn't know I was ugly. I had been told it every day by the ones I hate. They used to taunt me when I made an effort and wore make-up: calling me a slut, and when I didn't they would call me ugly. No matter what I could never win.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a movement and looked up to see a hand held out to me and a sad smile on the brown haired boys face. 'What was that song you were singing?' He asked softly; choosing to ignore my massive rant at them all about a minute before.

I looked at his hand in disbelief ignoring it and his comment; I slowly pulled myself to my feet. Still feeling the anger ebbing in my veins I started to put on a fake excited voice, ' OMG its one direction eeekkkkkk, OMG I love you sooo much'

'OMG get over yourselves' I stated returning to my normal voice.

I really couldn't believe that I was saying all this to them and I half expected them to punch me or fight back like the other people in my life. But no they just stood there. I didn't want them to just take it all I wanted them to fight for themselves, like I had to fight for myself. I wanted them to experience some of my life.   

For the second time that night, the brown haired boy pulled me out of my thoughts. 'What was that song you were singing?' He repeated. They all just continued to stare at me, but I suddenly noticed that their stares had changed. Now they were looking at me in wonder and... Amazement? No that couldn’t be right. One direction wouldn’t look at me in amazement. I was just a girl crying in an alley, why are they even still here I questioned myself? Sighing, I rolled my eyes before replying ‘A song that is 100 times better than any music you will ever write or record in your entire lives'

'Wow… Vicious' Harry chuckled from the back. I gave him a deathly stare, 'Harry...'

 But he cut me off 'Wait you know my name?' He sounded shocked.

I rolled my eyes again, 'Of course I fucking do! Have naïve can you get? Everyone knows your names; everyone wants to be you guys, all the girls drooling all over you. You can get anything you want at the drop of a hat and let's be honest you didn't exactly work hard to get where you are did you? No you went in for a talent show got put together and sang a song each week! Wow I'm sweating just thinking about all the effort you put in' my voice was laced with sarcasm.

'You’re not like good bands they got where they are through hard work and dedication, they write their own songs and don't expect to be pampered, it’s just a bonus. They really love their fans, and there music... Their music stops me from… being stupid’ I changed my words at the last minute and Looked up at their faces suddenly I saw something I didn’t expect. Concern? Sweeping my gaze across them all it landed on Niall and I gasped as the realisation hit me of what I had just almost told them. Before anyone could even say anything I was gone. At least I consoled myself I was never going to see them again.

Louis POV

'Their music stops me from… being stupid’. She changed her words at the last moment and with that sentence left in the air she ran and didn't look back.

I let out a sigh as the boys started talking

'Never has anyone been so honest...' Liam started

'So harsh...' Zayn continued  

'But so truthful to us' I finished.

'We have to help her guys' Niall choked out 'even if she hates us, she needs us, let's show her she is worth something'

We all nodded and Zayn wiped out his phone tapping away.

He looked up at us all, 'Guys I just found the song that she was singing'

'What?' We all turned to look at him. 'Yeah I typed a line from the song into Google.'

'So who's it by? Anyone we know?' Harry asked impatiently.

'Some band called- All Time Low' Zayn said. I wondered who they were as we headed back to the van without any food, but even Niall was too lost in his own thoughts to be complaining.

Climbing back in I looked at the others as Zayn played the song on YouTube my draw dropped and I saw the others expressions mirroring my own. Wow.

After the first chorus I came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be easy but we had to do something. As if our thoughts mirrored each other's Liam stated 'Commence operation save alley way girl'.
