The Plan

Lili's POV
Me and Haley woke up around the same but she woke up a little bit before me because when I opened my eyes she was staring intently at her phone with a big smile on her lips. "What are you smiling about?" I ask. "Nothing I was just talking to Isabella, she said that last night when the dance was over Liam took her to his house, and they cuddled with a smirking emoji." Despite the fact that Isabella and Liam did more than just cuddle last night, when I heard Haley say last night at the dance, all of the memories started flooding back. And I could practically feel the water about to come out of my eyes... until they finally did.

Haley quickly got up and came over and sat beside me debating whether or not to hug me scared if she did I would shatter like glass China. But she did anyway. And a wave of relief came over me because I knew no matter what happened in my life I would always have a support system through my friends. And I couldn't be anymore grateful for that. "Why did he do it-" I paused. "Things were going great, until last night." I let out. She took a deep breath in and said "I know Lili, I know you love him. And I know that it was hard watching what happened last night. But no matter how hard it gets you will always and forever have my shoulder to cry on. I will always be here for you."

I've known Haley ever since Kindergarten and she has always been one of my best friends. Haley was the type of person you can always depend on no matter what the circumstances are. She will always be there to make you laugh, to make you smile. And to just lift your spirits. And whenever I had a problem she would always listen to me, and give me the best advice.

"I love you Haley."

"I love you too Lili."

After we hugged one more time, we pulled apart and I wiped away the tear streaks that were on my face. As I stood up when Haley said something "When me and Isabella were talking, we came up with an idea, we want to take you to this new little coffee shop, tomorrow at around 7:00pm."

I didn't really know how to respond to that because I didn't really want to go anywhere, I mean I looked like I've been crying my eyes out all week. But then I really thought about it... maybe if I went out I could take my mind off of certain things. I respond "Sure." She looks at me surprised "Really?" I nod my head "Yeah now tell Isabella before I change my mind." She turned around like she was hiding something and started typing rapidly.

Niall's POV

Liam came back to my house at around 12:00 with his hair looking like he just went through at twister, obvious about what happened last night with him and Isabella. "You look a wreck." I say laughing and winking at him. "Pipe down Horan." We both laugh.

I texted him early this morning about my idea to get Lili back.

"I told Isabella, she was so excited, she really thinks you and Lili look really cute together, but she said that if you even look at Lili wrong one more time she would end you." He said. I respond "I expected that, I can't believe all of Lili's friends are being so nice to me. If I were them I would have already beat the shit out of me." He smirks "I wouldn't test them."

Louis and Harry came downstairs soon after me and Liam were almost finished talking. I still couldn't believe they were together, I was extremely happy for them, and I felt really good that they felt comfortable telling me and Liam. All four of us have always been best friends. Thanks to all of our parents being friends when they were younger and still being friends. And frankly I wouldn't know what to do without them, even though we can be a pain in each other's arse, we still loved each other and would always be there for one another. We have always went to the same school, but none of us really liked the school we were going to. So when our parents got the call that four students could transfer to North America for completely free, they were all over it.

So I go over the plan one more time for tomorrow. "So Isabella and I think a few of her friends are taking her to the new coffee shop, and since tomorrow is karaoke night I'm gonna sing the song I wrote for her in hopes that she will like it enough to give me another chance and for me to explain what happened at the dance." They all nod. "And all of you guys are going to be there in case this entire plan goes the other way and I start crying my eyes out again okay?" They all nod again. "She told me that I should really write a song-" I pause. "I told her I would only write a song for her. And this is the only way I could think of to apologize."

Louis says "It's going to work lad." Harry says in addition "believe it or not, I thought you were going to suck at singing-" I cut him off "geez thanks mate." He scoffs "Let me finish. But your voice is actually amazing. I know she's gonna like it." I smile "Thank you." Liam pipes in "I texted Isabella the plan, she said that Lili agreed to go."

*Later that night*

I think I practiced singing that song about a billion times. I need it to be perfect. I lay in my bed thinking about Lili. Even though I've only known her for a around 2 months I am in love with her. And I was going to tell her that I love her at the dance but then the music got really loud again and I knew if I said it she wouldn't hear me. And then later that girl had to screw everything up by planting her lips on mine. I didn't even know her name, but I knew she was drunk off her arse. I just wish that it never happened because then me and Lili would still be together and I wouldn't have to worry about if still loved me- wait- I don't even know if she loves me. I mean how? How could she possibly love me? I mean yeah we have had some really nice moments together and we've made so many memories together. And I have loved all of them. I love all of her.

I know that she likes me, I mean if she didn't she wouldn't have been with me in the first place but I don't know if she loves me. Was the feeling mutual or not? My palms started getting really sweaty. And my breathing started picking up speed. I picked up my phone and made a call.

Lili's POV

It was 11:00pm when I was laying in my bed thinking about everything that was going through my mind at 100 miles per hour. And then it all stopped when I heard my phone ding.

Joury: Hey! If you could when we all go to the coffee shop, can you wear something black and white?
Me: I mean sure, but why?
Joury: It's theme they have going on tmr.
Me: Oh okay, I'll see you guys there!

As soon as I sat my phone my mind started going on again. I'm pretty sure I've always been an overthinker. Which sucks because I never get a break. But when I started thinking about him my mind slowed down. Every single time I started thinking about him my mind stopped, when I saw him my heart stopped. And it made me so mad because I was supposed to be mad at him. What he did to me hurt. I don't even know why he did it. I don't know why it hurt so much. Maybe it was because this was my first relationship. Or maybe it was because I like Niall, like really like him- wait do I love Niall? Does he love me? Oh my gosh why am I talking in the present tense. I'm supposed to be mad at him. I have to be mad at him. But it was so hard. After awhile I fell asleep probably because I was thinking so much it made me exhausted.
