THE HELP

PART 25

SKYLARS POV

December 19th

Still no one knew about the break up. Well not the public anyway. The boys, management and Ariana knew. And my family of course. I hadn't spoken to him, I would break down in tears to the sound of his name. I'm not over him, but I need to be.
Ariana had tried to cheer me up with trips to the spa and shopping but it wasn't working. I never imagined this to happen so soon.



Ariana- Sky... You have to face the world at some point. The car is getting me at 7 so I'll be at yours for half past. Everything will be ok.

It was the Modest Management Christmas party tonight. Ariana was making me go, even though I had no intention of going in the first place. But she was right. I had to face the world at some point, and this could be the right time.

Management had paid interviewers to avoid the subject of boyfriends for my own benefit. I was grateful for that but I can't have the public thinking that we are still together 1 month on. I just wanted to think of a way to announce it without hurting anyone, including him.

I went upstairs and took a long, hot shower. The warm water felt good against my skin, though it was painful over my scars. Zayn was like a bandage, healing my broken past but now the plaster had been ripped off, leaving more scars than there already was. I hadn't told anyone about this and how I'd ruined my body. I couldn't help it.

I decided on a midnight blue dress with long sleeves. I was short, and flared out like a skirt. The shoulders were cut out, and I really loved it. I curled my hair and applied red lipstick and some black eyeliner. I moved over to my windowsill where my hand sits with all my jewellery hanging from it. I froze when I saw the ring he bought me. That was one thing I hadn't thought about. It was so beautiful. Something snapped inside me and I found myself sliding it onto my finger. It went well with my dress, purely the reason why I was wearing it. Not because of anything else.. So much of a promise ring. "I'll be the most amazing boyfriend ever" he said, "this is a promise" he said.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. What I saw was a happy, fun girl, but I was definitely not like that on the outside.

All of my tweets during the past months were gloomy, so people knew that something was up with me. I had been thinking my tweets through over and over again, eventually finding something acceptable. As for Zayn, he's barely been on. When I'd spoken to Niall he said that he has rarely left his house at all. I pulled out my phone and opened a new message.

To Niall Horan- Are you going tonight?

Niall Horan- Yeah. Getting there for bout 8ish. You?

Me- yeah think so:/ gotta do it at some point.

Niall Horan- true, he's in LA but I don't know if he's coming. He says that he's not sure yet. I think he might do though! Don't let that change your decision Sky

Me- don't worry I won't, see you later Niall

Niall Horan- Cheer up babe;) Dr Niall will bring his magic potions with him ;P

Oh god. I went downstairs and chose a bag to take with me. I put my phone and purse inside then waited for Ariana.

I had enough time to turn the television and watch some of the news.
"It's over! Sources close to the couple announce that Skylar Jones and Zayn Malik have officially broken up."
I switched it off immediately. It was probably management clearing things up. In a way I was relieved, but also upset that now on the red carpet everything would be about that!

The limo pulled up and I locked my house and made my way to the car. I stepped inside, and took a seat opposite Ariana.
"Hey babe, you look amazing," she smiled.
"You too," I said quietly.
"You okay Hun?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm brilliant " I said sarcastically, "not to mention the weight I've gained eating ice cream" I smiled.
"Oh babe, you look fab!" She smiled as the car began to move.
"Are you planning on drinking tonight?" She asked. I shook my head, "no, not having any more mistakes," I said.

The limo pulled up outside the venue, and we stepped outside the car. It brought back memories from appearances like this with Zayn.
"SKY ARIANA GIVE US A SMILE,"
"SKYLAR CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU AND ZAYN BROKE UP?"
"SKYLAR IS IT TRUE ZAYN CHEATED ON YOU?"
"Just ignore them," Ari whispered in my ear. I didn't smile, just rushed inside as quickly as possible.
When we got inside, Simon Cowell greeted me with a smile. He signalled for me to go over so I gave my purse to Ariana so she could find our seats.
Simon was the big boss. Very rarely would he want to talk to me on my own.
"Skylar! Hi! How are you?" He asked.
"Ur- not too good actually, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine, think I know what's up. Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked.
"No thanks, I'll end up crying," I half laughed.
"Oh well I'm sorry for the both of you, Id better go greet some other people, see you later," he said.
"Okay see you," I said and went back to Ariana.
"Got you a coke," she said.
"Thanks," I said and sat down. We were joined by Justin, Rihanna and Taylor Swift at our table.
"Is it true?" Justin asked.
"Yeah." I said quietly, tears on the horizon. Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to last a whole evening with people asking questions.
"I'm going to the bathroom," I said, and walked quickly off.
When I got to the toilet I locked myself in one of the cubicles. I broke down. Why did I think I could handle this. I'm so stupid. I was going to leave as soon as possible.

When I was feeling a little better, I left the bathroom with a smile on my face. I waned to look strong.

I looked around and found Niall. Just who I needed. When he saw me he smiled came over.
"Hey babe," he smiled and gave me a hug.
"I missed you Niall," I said.
"Think I missed you more," he chuckled.
"Is he here?" I asked quietly, when I let go of the hug.
He nodded, with apologetic eyes.
"Right, I'm going now anyways," I said, trying to get a way.
"Whoa, you aren't going just cause he's here," Niall instructed.
"Do you know where I've been past 20 minutes? In the bathroom crying as people keep asking me about it, I wanna go home," I said.
"Shh, don't worry, you don't have to talk to him! Plus I want you to be my dance partner as Janelle can't make it!" He smiled
"Ur- fine, but not long," I said. He linked his arm in mine and took me over to Liam and Harry.
"Sky!" Harry smiled taking me away from Niall.
"Hey!" Niall said.
"Hi Harry," I said quietly.
"You look really pretty,"
"You look dashing," I smiled.
"You are too kind, how you holding up?" He asked.
"Urm, not too well. I've gained like 10 pounds," I sighed.
"Well it doesn't look like it," he smiled.
"We need to have a heart to heart. I've missed you being my little sister, you always go to Niall nowadays." Harry said.
"I'm sowwy," I pouted giving him a hug.
"Now would you like a drink?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, can I have a coke?" I said.
"Really? No alcohol?" He asked.
"Remember what happened last time I got mega drunk at a party?" I said.
"Oh yeah!" He chuckled and we went over to the bar.
While Harry ordered the drinks I turned around and examined the room. I hadn't seen him yet.
"Here you go," Harry smiled cheekily.
I took a sip then spat it out.
"Harry Styles that does not taste like coke! What the hell is it?" I said.
"Oh maybe I asked for a little vodka! C'mon let your hair down! Have some fun," he smiled.
"Fine, just one," I smirked and downed the drink. I returned to my table with Ariana and took a seat. They had avoided the conversation thankfully and were talking about some crap now. Ariana must have said something to them. I was grateful.

"Urm Ari, have you seen him?" I stuttered.
"Yeah, he's at the bar right now talking to Simon." She pointed out. I nodded and turned around. He seemed to be in a deep discussion, and I had a feeling what that was about.
He looked breathtaking. But he wasn't mine. His hair was styled immaculately into a quiff, and he had a black suit adorning his toned body. I had to push away these feelings for him. We weren't together anymore and it wasn't right.
He wasn't the Zayn I knew. His eyes looked dull, they were missing the usual shimmer of hazel in them. It was pretty obvious what had happened.
"Are you going to talk to him?" Katy asked.
"Wha- No." I said, snapping out of my daze.
"Babe, you were the cutest couple out there, I'm sure you can work this out," She replied.
"I don't think so, I can't handle it anymore." I said.

11:30 pm

I was on the dance floor with Niall, just as he said. I felt awkward seeing as it was a slow dance and I had absolutely no feelings for him, and he had a girlfriend!
"Niall, I love you and all but don't you think this is a little weird?" I asked.
"I understand, you would be here with Zayn" he said, "it's totally fine, but I hate seeing you sad," he said.
"Well nothing you can do about that now is there, I'm so tired," I yawned.
"You look exhausted," he chuckled.
"Believe it or not I haven't slept much lately," I sighed.
"Don't you think it's time to move on yet? I'm not being rude but it's been a month. You can't go on like this," he said.
"I know and I am. I'm renting a cottage in Italy skiing over Christmas for my family so I'll have time to clear my head and think," I said.
"And maybe meet some Italian stallion," Niall winked.
"I'm not so sure about that..." I giggled. Niall was amazing.

I stayed at the party till 2am, then said my goodbyes to everyone. I was going to give my Christmas presents out after my holiday, so I only had cards.
"Bye Harry, have a good Christmas," I said, giving him a hug.
"Thanks babe, here's you present. Open it now I wanna see your face!!" He said excitedly.
"Oh god okay.." I smiled.
I unwrapped the box and found a sparkly pair of louboutins!
"HARRY! THEY ARE GORGEOUS!" I squealed.
"I knew you'd like them, and cheer you up," he smiled.
"You're the best!" I laughed. Money can't buy happiness... Psft.
I Louis and Liam said they were giving presents after Christmas and Niall got me a new phone case with a picture of me and him on it. It was really cute. Then I noticed Zayn had been at the table the whole time.
"I-ur- well see you soon Niall, love you," I said and hurried off, with my cards. Just being near him felt like a dagger through my heart. I rushed into the car waiting for me and as we drove home, I opened my card from Louis.

"Sky, this is me and you. We could be awesome best friends if you pushed Harold and Niall below me on your list of favourites because we already know I'm above Liam, the girls and he who shall not be named!

You know you want too;) oh and merry Christmas:3

Love your soon to be bbf Lou :)

Ps... Elle says her card is in the post but I doubt it will ever arrive! I may have given her the wrong address haha"

Beneath it he had drawn an awful picture of the two of us. It was hilarious and cute. I'd never been that close to Louis, but it seemed that we could've been!
Next I opened the one from Liam

To Sky,
Hope you have a fab Christmas time and forget about the past few months, you deserve a break! You're so lovely and I'm glad you met us! See you after Christmas.
Love Liam and Dani xx"

Next the one from Niall-
"Skylar,
You've become one of my best friends in barely any time. You are incredible and I love you so much. You are strong and hilarious, have a wonderful Christmas and don't forget about the Italian stallion;)

Love you, N. xx"

And finally Harry...

"BABYGIRL/LIL SIS/ SKY

YOU GIRLFRIEND ARE DA BOMB DOT COM! Have a fabbity fab fab fab Christmas and I hope you love all your present:) Love you beaut

The sexiest man alive,

A.K.A Harry Edward Styles"

I sat there giggling at the cards from the boys. How I loved them. I didn't get one from Zayn but that doesn't matter. Would you expect one?
