Fate

Chapter 21

~Claire~

I hurried off stage trying to fight the urge to cry.

Don't let him get to you.

I took a deep breath and then I felt like I was ok. I looked around and spotted William smirking at me. I rolled my eyes and started walking outside.

"Wait!' I heard someone call out. I turned around to see William running after me.

"What?" I said annoyed.

"Maybe I could buy you a drink." he smirked.

"Ha! In your dreams." I said walking off.

"Yes you are!" he called out. I rolled my eyes and entered the boys' limo.

"I'm so proud of you." Niall said kissing my nose.

"Thank you." I smiled. I went to grab my purse but couldn't find it.

"Wait!" I said. The limo stopped and everyone looked at me.

"I forgot my purse! It has my phone in it. I will be right back." I said stepping out and jogging inside. I spotted my purse on a table, where none other than William was sitting there smirking.

"Couldn't resist?" William guessed cockily.

"Nope." I smiled grabbing my purse.

"My phone is my life, I could never resist that." I smirked pulling out my phone and walking away.

I walked inside the limo and got on my phone.

'Hey sweet cheeks;)'

What the...? It's was from an unknown number.

'Who is this?'

I texted nervously. I automatically got a reply.

'Someone you just can't resist'

I rolled my eyes. He must have gone through my phone, that jerk. I put my phone away and tested my head on Nialls shoulder.

"I had so much fun!" Brittany gushed laying her head on Harry's shoulder like I did with Niall.

"You look lovely." Louis said to a blushing Hallie.

Victoria and Liam just sat there smiling at each other like wierdos! I wonder what happened while I wasn't spending time with them...

~Liam~

We sat in the limo and I couldn't help but feel jealous of Niall and Claire. I smiled at Tori and she returned it. I admit I feel bad about doing this, but I need to make Claire jealous.

I looked at all the couples. Sharon and Daniel. Harry and Brittany. Niall and Claire. And even though it wasn't official, it was obvious Louis and Halle liked each other. And then there is me, Zayn, and Tori.

I can remember my last conversation with Tori clearly...

"Tori!" I called out placing my hand on her shoulder to stop her.

"Yea?" she asked looking at me.

"I need a favor." I said awkwardly. She raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"I don't do favors." she said about to walk away.

"Please." I begged. She sighed.

"What?" she said annoyed.

"I need you to pretend we are dating to get Claire jealous." I said nervously.

"No. I would never hurt her." she said about to walk away.

"This isn't to Hurt her! It's to see of she feels the slightest of the same was as I feel for her. She has Niall, so this couldn't possibly hurt her." I tried.

"Fine." she gave in.

So here we were. Smiling at each other while Claire flirted with Niall, ignoring my attempts to make her jealous.

This is gonna be hard.
