(Nora's pov)
I watch as April chats away to me. Fangirling over Liam as she knows i know she very obviously likes him. I mean, look at the way she looks at him. Intrigued by every word spoken, I stare and observe her every move. I admire her choice of outfit, blue denim shorts placed right up her thighs, black sunglasses and a jacket wrapping round her curves, Liams jacket. Her clothes sat on her perfectly, why can't i have her body? I take a quick glance down at my stomach, even with the baggy jumper over top, i take my arms and wrap them around myself. Her outfit was so simple, but gorgeous. The only thing throwing me off was Liams jacket. I don't know why. She's happy, and that's all that matters right now. I admire her facial features, her glowing skin and glistening eyes. I watch the way she moves her hands a lot when she speaks, something she's picked up off Liam. And now it suddenly hits me, I wish i were Liam.

We cross the street and walk onto a beach.
The soft sand trails behind us, leaving footprints with our every step. Finding a row of sun loungers, we all get comfortable. I'm situated between Liam and Nora, suddenly my phone vibrates.

Nora; "Can i talk to you ?"

i'm confused as to why she texted me instead of just asking me, but i assume it's a private matter.

April; "Of course," I look around me, checking out my surroundings, when i see an empty section of sun loungers, "see the empty sun loungers over on your left? Meet there."

Nora reacts a simple "👍" to the message, a bit more...dry than usuals. I rise out of my sun lounger and make my way over to our meeting spot. Nora follows behind me and takes a seat beside me. She looks..nervous? "Is everything okay?" I speak up in concern. "I need to tell you something." She doesn't look at me, instead the floor. "Nora are you okay what's happened? You seem like somethings wrong? You can always talk to me you know." I reassure.

(Noras pov)
Just tell her. Get it over with. "I like you," Suddenly spits out of my mouth. As if that wasn't enough said, i continued, "..like a lot, since the start of last tour my eyes have only ever fell for you, April. Your the best thing that's ever walked into my life and i know there's something between you and Liam, I can't quite put my finger on what it is but i can just tell there's something there, but can we try this, at least?" I look at April sympathetically, her flustered look and taken back expression says it all. She looks to the floor trying to make up words. Eventually she speaks up, "Nora, i'm sorry but-" before she got to explain i cut her off, "No, you don't have to say anything, it was a dumb idea anyways." I stood, feeling a wave of dizziness hit me as i stand. I walked off the beach and onto the main street, crossing the road and disappearing into the crowd.

(Aprils pov)
I knew there was no reason to go look for her. She could be anywhere, we're in Atlanta Georgia for gods sake. I tried her phone multiple times, no answer. After a while, I gave up. I put my phone down and begin to really think about what she told me. She likes me. Me? Out of all people. The one person that can't love her the way she deserves to be loved. My head a blur, I pick myself up and also head across the road. Not making an attempt to find Nora, but instead find the right consciousness for myself. Thoughts of what Nora's state could be, fill my head. What if she's really not okay? What've i done? This is all my fault. To my surprise, I look up to meet eyes with an empty alley. Ditching the crowd, I walk into the alley, leaning my back on the wall and taking the palms of my hands to my temples, i slowly slide down the wall until i hit the cold, rubble floor. It's not long until a voice speaks up.

"April?"

Dylan.
