I thought everything between Liam and I was fine after we made up last week, but I haven't seen him in four days. I can't even focus on the intense Madden match between the guys and me because Liam is all I can think about.
Shawn abruptly pauses the game and glares at me.
"Zayn, you are fucking killing us, man," Shawn groans. "What's up with you?"
Harry and Niall then look at me as well.
"Nothing" I mumble, but none of the guys buy it for one second.
"I haven't seen Liam around school. Is that what you are worried about?" Harry asks.
I sigh and nod my head.
"I thought you said you made up?" Niall
questions."Yeah, we did."
"Bitch, then what are you so worried about?"
Shawn laughs. "You said he didn't have his phone, right?"
I nod.
"Then what's the problem?" Shawn says.
"Aww, Zee Bee's just worried about his boyfriend," Niall teases.
"He's not my boyfriend," I mutter with pink cheeks.
"Oh, but you definitely want him to be," Harry smirks.
l just sigh and look away. I can feel them all smirking at me without even looking.
"l didn't hear you deny it" Niall taunts.
"Speaking of Liam," Shawn says. "You need to stop fucking hogging him. He's our friend too, you know."
I didn't expect my friends and Liam to get along this well, but the thought puts a smile on my face.
They happily accepted him.
"Yeah, I wanna see little hottie too." Niall huffs.
"Why are you guys blaming it on me? Just go ask if he wants to hang out," I say.
"We just didn't know if he still wanted to see us after the whole ordeal with you two," Harry mutters.
"Are you kidding me? Liam loves being around you guys. He says it makes him feel included in something for once. You guys just need to man the fuck up and tell him," I laugh.
"Yeah, but why do we need to tell him when you can do that for us, Zee Bee?" Niall latches onto my arm and gives me puppy dog eyes. "He's your boyfriend after al."
l just roll my eyes even though I definitely want that statement to be true.
"Fine, fine...don't worry, I'll tell him since you guys are too scared to talk to him."
"Pfft... don't know what you are talking about." Shawn crosses his arms and glares at me.
"Yeah, me either" Harry huffs, crossing his arms as well.
