Fate

Chapter 7

~Claire~

I woke up with the worst head ache. I moaned in pain and rolled over in my bed. I stood up and ran into the bathroom, emptying out my insides. I felt like shit. I stumbled into the kitchen and took a pill for my headache.

Suddenly my door flung open and 5 boys moaning in pain walked in and fell on the couch.

"Oh please, come in!" I said sarcastically. They simply moaned in response. I tossed them all a pill and water bottle which they gladly accepted.

"Babe. My head hurts." Niall whined. I giggled and kissed his head.

"mine too." I pouted. I got out an ice pack and put it on his head.

"Hey! None for us!" Harry complained. I shook my head.

"He gives me kisses." I said, pecking Niall on the lips.

"We can too." Zayn said puckering his lips. I giggled as I Niall shit up from his seat.

"No you cant!" he said. Zayn put his hands up.

"Lad, forgetting i have a girlfriend? I'm just playing!" he laughed. Niall sat back down and put he ice pack back on.

"Awwww. Is someone getting jealous." I said in a baby voice. He smirked but frowned at me.

"Well I feel fine! Want me to help make the boys soup?" Liam said standing up. I nodded and we walked back into the kitchen. I would have to say, through all the boys, not counting Niall of course, I was the closest to Liam. After that heart to heart at Nando's, I feel like I can tell him anything.

"did you meet anyone last night." I asked. He laughed but shook his head.

"I had my eye on one girl." he admitted. I squealed and jumped up and down.

"Who?" I asked. He laughed again and sighed.

"She's taken." he informed me. I laughed.

"Go for her! If she means a lot to you, maybe she will feel the same way." I said. He smiled weakly and stared into my eyes. Suddenly he leaned in, catching me off guard. He touched my face gently and leaned in, making contact with our lips.

He pulled away looking flustered.

"I'm sorry. That was childish of me. Your with Niall." he said scurrying out of the kitchen.

What just happened?

He liked me?

I liked Niall.

Not him.

Well I did like Niall but that didn't mean that I didn't like Liam.

Ahhh! Life is confusing. I got all the boys' soups and walked outside. Of course Liam was avoiding my eyes at all costs.

"Thanks sweetie." Nialk said pecking me on the lips. I smiled weakly and sat down.

"Let's watch a film!" Louis said. All the boys nodded in agreement and I popped in a random film.

"I'll make popcorn." I said leaving the room. I made some popcorn and put it in a bowl. I walked out to find a seat on the couch. The only open space was between Niall and... You guessed it! Liam!

I was about to sit on the floor when Niall patted the empty seat.

"Come sit by me love!" he said. I smiled weakly and nervously walked over to the couch. I slumped down, closer to Liam than comfortable. Niall put his arm around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder. I felt Liam stiffen his body.

Was he jealous.

We watched the film in silence, then the boys had to go.

"Can we talk?" Liam whispered as all the boys went through my pantry for the last time. I nodded and we both walked into my room.

"Look, I'm sorry about the kiss. Please don't let it ruin your relationship with Niall, I know you don't feel the same way-" he started but I cut him off.

"I never said I didn't like you." I said. He smiled to himself.

"I never said I did. I just need time." I sighed. He nodded and walked up to me.

"Take your time." he said kissing my on the cheek and leaving. Why? Why must he do this to me. I plopped on my bed and sighed again.

There is only one boy I can pick, and two sweet and amazing and handsome guys. How could I pick.

I decided to let my art speak for me. I picked up a brush and started painting random strokes. I finished and took a few steps back.

It was a heart.

I would have to follow my heart.
