The Girl They Met Online [Editing]

Chapter 4- The Accident

Liam's POV

My jaw drops to the ground, Zayn steps closer, “Um, did you guys hear me or not? So—who does Liam like?”

I scratch the back of my head, and look at the ground trying to dodge the question. I try to not answer the question, but Zayn is looking at me, so I just shrug, “Uh…”

Niall and Harry look at each other nervously, and don't say a single word. Zayn puts his hand up, and raises his eyebrow, “I heard—”

I cut Zayn off before he could finish his sentence, “Nobody, okay? I don’t like anybody, I mean how can I? I just got out of a long term relationship, how could I like anyone?

“Then why did Harry just say you like Riley?” Zayn says with a confused yet suspicious look on his face.

I hurry, and think of a quick excuse, “Um—Harry is just crazy! He saw that I was on the phone with Riley, like you asked me to, and he just thought that I had feelings for her. Beside even if I was talking to her, like I said before, I just got out of a relationship…”

I mentally cross my fingers, hoping that he would buy that lame excuse I just made. Zayn shakes his head and smiles, “Oh Harry, you are crazy!”

Harry runs his hands through his hair, and he forces a laugh, “Haha, yeah—uh Niall, I think Louis is cooking something in the kitchen—let’s go!”

Harry grabs Niall’s hand, and runs out of the room with him. As the run out, Zayn laughs and turns back to me, I look at him and force out a little smile—that was close…

Meeting Riley has made me get over Danielle. I don’t cry or cut over her anymore, because I have a new reason to. I am falling head over heels in love with a girl that I can never be with. Zayn and Riley have now been together for almost a month, so I know there is no way I can reveal my feelings for her, even though a part of me wants them to break up. But Zayn is happy, so that’s all that matters.

The lads think when I cry or cut, it’s about Danielle, which is clearly not the case anymore. Today, they are dragging me out of the house, and to the club to meet girls, but there is already on girl who has my heart, and doesn’t even know it.

We've been in the club for a while, and I'm already over it. Everyone is drinking, and getting drunk which is not my thing. So I just chill in the lounge with a Pepsi in my hand, the whole time I can't get Riley out of my mind. Everything about her is stuck in my head—her smile, her laugh, her eyes, her hair—everything.  I tell the lads that I'm going home, but they're too drunk to notice. When I get home, I flop on the bed, and sigh deeply, I have so many feelings, I need to release it.

So, I take a pen and paper and write my feelings down

 

I am in love, with such a beautiful girl; she’s my world, my everything. The way she smiles, she laughs, I love everything about her, she’s so smart, and beautiful, even her flaws, except one, She doesnt love me back. My life isn’t normal, I don’t think it ever truly will be anymore, I travel a lot, and work almost every day, I’m not perfect, I’m far from, I have so many flaws, I’m insecure, I have low self-esteem, I find it hard to like myself, and appreciate myself, so it’s hard to trust that someone else does, that someone likes me for the person I am inside, I’m not interested in the fame hungry, the kind of people who want to get themselves further, love me for me. I have weird habits and ways, as most people do; sometimes I eat candy for breakfast, that’s just me.
