Fate

Chapter 18

We pulled into the studio and Allison parked the car.
"Please, no!" I begged, "I'll talk to Liam myself."
"I know you won't," Allison replied.
"Allison I swear I will! Can we please leave?" I begged.
"Fine," she gave in, "but I'm going to talk to Zayn and figure this all out."
"I'll wait here," I said.
"I'll tell Liam you said hi," she joked.
"Great," I said rolling my eyes.

After about 15 minutes of waiting, Allison came back out to the car.
"You'll feel bad when you hear this..." she said.
"Oh god... what?" I asked.
"Zayn said that Keith suggested that they use his "scheme" but the boys refused. They tried to fire him, but he kept coming back. Turns out he just wanted the fame and money of being One Direction's manager. Security finally got him to leave. So it looks like Liam's not guilty," she explained.
I sat there speechless and thought about how horrible I was. I mean I didn't overreact... right? Who am I kidding, I was a total jerk.
"You okay?" Allison asked slowly.
"Yeah... I gotta fix this," I said as I got out of the car.
"Ya' think?" Allison said sarcastically.
I glared at her angrily and turned towards the studio. I took a deep breath and walked into the building. The first person I saw when I walked in was Niall.
"Knew you'd come back," he smirked.
"Not for you," I shot back.
He grabbed his chest and fell backwards, pretending he was shot in the heart.
He immediately perked back up, laughing and asked, "is Kennedy here with you?"
"No. She's at the cabin and were going out to lunch," Harry said, butting in.
"Oh um, well Liam should be out any minute. He's just finishing up an interview," Niall said, looking defeated by Harry's comment.
"Okay thanks," I said, "oh and have fun today with Kennedy, Harry."
Right then, Liam walked out and saw me standing in the hallway and said, "You know, I can try to explain but you won't even listen! God, if you would let m-"
"I forgive you."
"You do?!" He exclaimed.
"I should have known you wouldn't do that to me," I said, "I'm sorry I was rude about it and I just really don't want whatever this is to end. I know I'm just a stupid 19 year old fan and you probably don't care about me and..."
"I do care Colette," he said in his adorable accent, "and I also heard it's your 20th birthday next week."
"How did you know?" I asked.
"Gabi," Louis chimed in as he walked by.
"Speaking of Gabi, what's going on between you two?" I asked him.
"I don't really know. Some "Will" guy broke her heart and I'm hoping I can help, but she's kinda stubborn."
"Colette?" Liam asked.
"Yeah," I responded.
"Umm...Were going to New York for an event for the rest of the week, and we leave tomorrow morning. But I promise we'll be back for your birthday."
"You don't have to come back. You guys are so busy, don't worry about me."
"No," he pleaded, "I want to be there."
"Thanks," I said, pulling him in for a hug.
"Oh gotta go," Liam said, "the van's here. See you later, love."
"Bye," I said waving.
"Hey, we gotta go! Emma's waiting," Allison called.
"Okay," I said climbing into the passenger seat of her car.
I couldn't believe what just happened. Liam Payne gave me a second chance. He cared. I didn't care if he was leaving tomorrow. This happiness I was feeling would last me the whole week.
