A Forgotten Memory (Liam Payne Fan Fiction) Under Editing

Chapter 27

{Liam's POV}

"Who the hell did this?" Zayn yelled then pushed past me stomping towards the others. Everyone's heads turned towards Zayn, whose head (including hair) is covered in baby powder. If we were in a cartoon smoke would be coming out of Zayn's ears.

Hale immediately stopped laughing once she saw how furious he is, but Louis continued to laugh. Niall and Harry joined in with Louis' laughter while I kept my eyes on Hale. She looks petrified, as if Zayn would kill her. Her eyes are wide, cheeks red from laughing so hard, and lips slightly parted as she takes deep heavy breaths.

There's no way he would ever kill her though, but by the look on his face it seems like he might. "Who the fuck had the idea to do this?" Zayn started to scream. Hale flinched at his voice while the rest of the boys continued to laugh. I walked up behind Zayn and softly placed my hands on his shoulders. "Go to the loo and wash your hair in the sink, then come back." I instructed, then turned him around and gently pushed him towards the loo.

Once he slammed the door shut I walked over to Hale. Everyone was still laughing except Hale. She looks just as scared as she did before. I sat down beside her in the seat next to hers and put my arm over her shoulders. "He'll be fine. It's just that his hair is his true love." She relaxed a little and her eyes became a normal size, but her breathing is still heavy. "Hale. Don't worry. Everything is fine." She simply nodded then rested her head on my chest.

I rubbed her arm until I noticed her eyes were closed and that she's sleeping. "Hale." I whispered. "Hale, wake up." But she didn't answer. I don't want to wake her up but I need to talk to Lou. So I the only thing that will wake her up. I shifted a little and she fully woke up. "Sorry." She mumbled as she rested her head against the window. A small chuckle slipped out of my lips before I pressed my lips on her temple.

"Explain." I stated flatly as I sat down in the seat next to Louis'. He started laughing at just the thought of what he did to Zayn. But once he looked me in the eyes and notice how serious I am he stopped. "It was-" He tried but I cut him off saying "Don't try and blame Hale. She would of thought of something much more clever." Louis put his hand to his chest but on his left side. "Louis your heart is on the other side." I explained to him causing his cheeks to burn a bright red.

"Even I would've gotten that right!" Niall yelled from his seat. I had to bite my lower lip to not laugh at how red Louis' face is.

"But now tell me what you guys did." I told him once his face became its normal tan colour. "While Zayn was sleeping I put whip cream in his hair. And as I did that Haley put Zayn's blow drier in the loo then put baby powder in it. When he woke up he did exactly what I thought and go to the loo to check his hair. He came out grumbling first to figure out who did it but everyone said they didn't. So he went back in and washed his hair then used his blow drier and it went all over his face and hair." Louis explains to me while laughing the entire time.

"Really Louis?" I asked. This was a very childish prank. I'm surprised Hale didn't think of something else. She told me the last time she pulled a prank was in grade 10 but that was three years ago. She might of pulled a few while I was gone. "It was a good prank!" He exclaimed but all I did was shake my head and walk back to the loo to check on Zayn.

Being daddy direction is hard. You have to check on everyone all the time. Make sure they're okay when they're upset. And solve everyone's problems. As long as everyone is safe and loves each other then I'm fine with being daddy direction.

I rapped my knuckles against the door and a moment later Zayn opened the door. This time his hair was back to normal, in a quiff not covered in baby powder. "You good?" I asked hoping he would say yes so I could go back to sleep. "Yeah, but I'm ready to get payback." He said with a mischievous smile. Really? Does he really need to get revenge? "You can get Lou back, but if you touch Hale I will hurt you." I told him completely serious. He looked taken aback at first, then nodded. I'm not the violent type, but if he does anything to her he won't know what's coming at him.

Once Zayn reached his seat he put his headphones on then soft dazed off to sleep. I sat back down next to Hale, but she wasn't sleeping like she was when I left her. She's sitting with her legs criss crossed while working on her book. "How's it coming?" I asked while leaning over to read it. Hale picked up her MacBook, then placed it on her lap and turned towards me. "You can't read it yet. I need to keep writing, I'm so close." She told me with a playful smile.

I leaned in towards her and rested my forehead on hers. "If you read it before it's done then it will be jinxed and it won't sell." She said to me. I chuckled a little saying "You're so paranoid." I quickly pecked her lips before she could pull away. "Please." I whispered against her lips with a smile tugging on my corners of mine. "N-no." She stuttered making my smile break through and stretch from ear to ear. "Be courageous and let me read it." She shook her head. I'm not giving up. Her writing is amazing, and I want to be the first one to read the entire book, or at least most of it. "Courage causes change and change causes courage." I stated sounding like Zayn. Hale's eyes went wide which caused confused to take over my smile.

She tore we eyes away from mine then went to her MacBook. Her fingers moved quickly across the keys making the clicking noise as she pressed each one down. I watched in the noise of the keys for a few minutes until she said "It's done." She was wearing a proud smile as she handed me the MacBook. Across the top it read "Courage Causes A Change."
