ONE TEMPTATION || [L.P]

Answer me

(Liams pov)

the next day

It's been a day since i last spoke to April. We didn't even speak at the show last night, like she was avoiding me or something. Tonight is the third and final show in Miami. I'm currently on the bus, on the way to soundcheck. The five of us are all sat at the lounge area in the back, Louis and Niall lost in a game of uno and Harry and Zayn playing Mario kart like their life depended on it. Yet, i'm sat here trying to text April...again. I've been texting her since she left the beach, but still no response. I don't even know why it matters, we only started talking properly the other day, but, there's something in me that wants to keep ahold of her. Louis' voice speaks up, "Want to play this round? Niall's awful at it." He laughs as Niall sits, offended by knows it's true. "You guys can play, i'm good." "Cmon you've been staring at your phone for ages!" He pleads. I know i've been waiting and waiting, probably for no response, but just as i go to respond, a grey bubble appears on Aprils' chat.

*9:42am* new chat; Liam

*11:26am* my phone buzzes. Liam. This time, i decide to answer. I tap the screen of my phone, causing the screen to light up, detecting my face id. "Is everything okay?" Is the most recent message i've recieved from Liam. I text back, "Yeah of course, just been busy lately." Almost immediately, i get a response back, "Oh okay, i'll see you at soundcheck soon?" "Yeah, see you then!"

As both tour buses pull into the stadium, I step off the bus and make my way inside. On the way in i find Liam. He instantly starts apologising, "I'm sorry about yesterday, i understand the scar was a touchy subject i probably shouldn't of brought it up but-" "It's okay, trust me, you didn't know." Before he got the chance to talk, Jake was already announcing, "Starting in five!" Liam and I both head towards stage as i take my place up the back and he steps on the platform, beginning to rise.

It's around halfway through soundcheck and i can't get April off my mind. I never knew if the scar was a touchy subject, i just assumed it could've been, but, she basically confirmed it was. The words "you didn't know." Replay in my head. I didn't know. What did i not know? Just goes to show something or someone caused that scar, a memory she didn't want brought up, and i brought it up. I shouldn't have said anything, why did i say anything, should i talk to her about it or- "Liam!" My thoughts are cut off. "We're thinking of putting does he know on the set list tonight." Zayn exclaims. I murmur a couple okays in agreement but i'm too busy thinking about April to really think about the set list right now.
