Take A Chance

Chapter thirteen

Chapter 13:

Eliza's POV:

Niall and I chat up a storm as we sit in the booth. Miya chimes in every now and then but remains quiet. Maybe she's lost in space? Thoughts? Then I look at her expression. She's over thinking. Or perhaps considering something. I have to know what it is.

"Would you excuse us for a moment Niall?" He nods and Miya snaps out and follows me to the girls bathroom in the sub shop.

"What the flabberjack is going on?!" I say the moment we get into the small 3-stalled bathroom. "First you barely say anything then you don't speak at all?" My voice is a bit intense and I see her eyes widen. "I'm sorry... Please just tell me what's the matter!"

Miya is silent for a moment then takes a deep breath and begins an explanation. "Well.... I feel like the third-wheel here.... You two flirting up a storm while I sit there all alone. Like always...." Her eyes are a bit damp. I pull out a bit of tissue and wipe her tears.

"I'm....I'm so sorry Miya.... I didn't know you felt that way.... I'm so sorry!" I wrap my arms around her and give her a hug. One our tears dry I ask her something about what she said. "I was flirting?"

"Yeah..... Did you not tell he was with you? His eyes twinkled when he looked at you.... That's a rare thing Liza. (Its pronounced: "Lie-za") Not something that happens everyday with someone you've known a week..... That's definitely a flirt... Anyways.... Have you thought about what Liam asked you?" Her voice is definitely curious.

"Yeah... No... Well kind of... I'm just not sure.... You see I like Liam but I like Niall.... If I say yes to one then the other will hate the boy..." I say in a, 'matter of fact' kind of way.

"Wait wait wait wait wait! Niall asked you out?!" She squeaks very loud into my ears.... By the time we are thirty we'll both be death if we keep doing this.....

"Um.... Well sort of.... When you weren't in the room... Harry told Niall he had to ask who he liked out.... Niall turned to me about to say it when he came in and jumped onto the couch.... He kind of mouthed but I came up to you and then Liam pulled me away..... So I don't know what to do...." Sighing I sit down on the cruddy chairs in the bathroom. "Now I know how Katniss felt with Gale and Peeta... It's just I don't know who my Peeta will be..... And I doubt my sister will get blown up.... That'd be terrible....." Now I'm just dragging on. "Anyways.... What would you do?"

Miya just bites her lip.
