I didn't know what to do. What was I supposed to do?

"Lucas!" I shouted, rushing into his room.

"What? What is it?" He asked, standing up and meeting me at the door.

"Sam and Liam...I can't stop them." I answered, grabbing his hand and pulling him behind me.

"Hey!" Lucas yelled, grabbing Sam and pulling him away from Liam. I rushed to Liam's side and handed him a tissue for his nose.

Sam struggled against Lucas but it was no use: Lucas was stronger.

"What the hell was that?" I asked Sam, about to hit him myself.

"You said you weren't seeing him." Sam replied.

"Well, I wasn't, but that was a week ago." I told him. "Just get out."

"Diana please, I came here to talk." He begged me.

"I don't care you ruined that chance. Leave." I said, pointing at the door.

"Please." Sam whispered.

"Get out!" I shouted. Lucas let Sam go and he gave me one last look before disappearing through the door.

"I'm sorry, Di." Lucas said, giving me a hug and going back to his room.

"Thank God my parents left." I sighed, grabbing a wash cloth and getting it damp.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked, taking the cloth from me and wiping at his nose.

"I'm fine. Are you okay?" I replied, sitting down on my bed.

"Yeah I think so, but if that bastard broke my nose and I can't sing anymore..." Liam smiled, trailing off.

"Thank you." I whispered, giving him a hug.

"For what?" He asked.

"Being here."

~~~

"Look who it is."

"I'm really not in the mood for you right now and I swear to God I won't hesitate to punch you." I said, closing my locker door and shoving past her.

"I just wanted you to see what somebody has been hanging up all over school." She replied.

"What is it, Caroline?" I demanded, turning around. She smirked as she passed me a piece of paper with a picture on it. The picture was of me when I was little, butt naked in the bath tub.

"I'm sorry for all this but I think a certain someone did say she would ruin your life if you didn't make-up with another certain someone, but I don't remember the details."

"I'm going to kill you." I growled, and in a matter of seconds I was pulling her hair.

"Get off me!" Caroline squealed, blindly swinging her arms.

I shoved her against the lockers and then punched her near her eye. I pushed her on the floor and punched her again, this time near her nose.

Caroline hit me back on my lip and I felt it split open.

"Girls!" Mrs. Walker shouted, trying to rip me away from Caroline.

"Help, please." Caroline cried.

Oh come on, you brought this upon yourself, I thought, trying to hit her again.

"Diana Richardson!"

"Fine!" I yelled, standing up and leaning against the lockers.

Mrs. Walker helped Caroline up and allowed her to lean on her shoulder.

"You've got to be kidding me." I scoffed. I broke her nose not her leg.

"Come with me." Mrs. Walker hissed, helping Caroline down the hallway.

I looked through the sea of people and spotted Sam: a worried look on his face as his eyes met mine.

~~~

"What were you even thinking?" My mom demanded, throwing her purse on the kitchen counter.

"Mom, you have no idea what this girl is like." I said, defending myself.

"Then tell me Diana. What makes this girl so horrible?"

"First of all, she's been a bitch to me for no reason since kindergarten. Second of all, she posted baby pictures of me, naked, all over the damn school, but you want to know what the worst thing she did was? She managed to turn Sam against me." I told her.

"What do you mean she 'turned Sam against you'?" She asked.

"That's his girlfriend, mom. She somehow made him hate me just as much as she does. I didn't even do anything." I said, tears finally falling from my eyes.

It was suddenly clear that the person who I trusted most, the person who I could tell anything, the person I thought would always be there for me, was now turned against me like the rest of the world. I thought I had gotten soft, crying openly and for practically no reason at all, but the reality of it was that I hadn't fully accepted that I couldn't just go over to his house anymore. I couldn't get a ride with him to school. Hell, I couldn't call him to ask him about the math homework.

I had chosen Liam over Sam. I chose a popstar over my best-friend.

~~~

"Liam, I really need to talk to you." I said into the receiver.

"Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Yes. Please just come over." I begged.

I hung up and got out my sketch pad in what seemed like forever. I looked around my room for some kind of inspiration and rolled my eyes when I couldn't think of anything. I stood up and grabbed my head-phones. I plugged them into my phone and listened to music. I finally started drawing a picture of how I pictured Hazel Grace Lancaster from The Fault in Our Stars.

After about ten minutes I felt someone tap on my shoulder and I turned around to find Liam. I slipped off my head-phones and turned off my music.

"Hey, I tried to knock but I don't think you heard me." Liam smiled.

"Yeah I like my music loud." I replied, gesturing for him to sit down beside me.

"Are you sure everything's okay?" He asked, a worried look present on his features.

"No actually." I sighed.

"What is it?" He replied, taking my hand in his. This was going to be so much harder than I wanted it to be. 

 "I was thinking today, and I realized that I'm going to have to choose between you and Sam. Right now, I've chosen you but what about in the long run? You can't stay here forever." I told him.

 "Wait, are you...are you breaking up with me?" Liam whispered, his face falling.

 "I think I have to. Sam will always be here and you'll always be famous. It's just how this was supposed to work." I said, as tears fell silently down my face.

 "Diana please." 

 "It was amazing while it lasted. This is one of those relationships I'll tell my kids about, and maybe we can make it work someday, but for now...it's just how it has to be." 

 "I just don't understand why you would pick him. He's given you nothing but hell." Liam sighed, tears of his own escaping.

 "How much longer are you even here?" I asked him.

 "Three days." He mumbled.

 "See? It would only last a painful three more days. At least we can say goodbye as friends." I answered.

 "I think I should go." He choked. 

 "I love you." I whispered, just before he exited.

 "I love you too." Liam replied and with that he walked out of my door for the last time.

 I'm sorry for the sad chapter :(

 One of my close friends that reads this knows I've been in a sad mood lately.

 I don't want to go to school tomorrow...I'm kind of scared :(
