The Sickly Sweet Mistake (A One Direction FanFic) [On Hold]

Chapter 16- Fangirl Dinner

Hey guys!

I noticed I never actually put the girls' ages on here...

Bethany is 15, turning 16 in the winter (that's why it's her soon-to-be-hers car XD).

Sumi is 14.

Arlene is 13, turning 14 in the summer.

Skylar is 12, turning 13 in the fall.

Josie turned 12 earlier this winter, and will be 13 next year.

Sound familiar? I know it's cheesy XP but I said they were doubles so... Yeah.

Thanks!

Sumi

I liked Zayn. He is so cool. He seemed like such a bad boy but he was really sweet. I wished I was older so we could date. Sigh, I sounded like such a FanGirl. It was sad. Usually Skylar's the fan girl. Kind of like Niall with Justin Beiber... Hmm, maybe they were more similar than I thought...

Anyways, Zayn was so kind, and I didn't treat me like a little kid, but as just another person. I wished I could always talk to him. Like a big brother. I realized I sort of had a "big sister". Arlene. Even if I was older, she was level headed and did her best not to over react. I tried to be like that, but Arlene just naturally was. I had to work at it. Oh well, I guess that kind of reflects Liam and Zayn's relationship. Actually Liam and Zayn's, Liam and Louis', Liam and Niall's, and Liam and Harry's relationships. Huh, I had never really thought of it like that. Liam was like everyone's big brother, or as the fans say he's "Daddy Direction" and I guessed,in a way so was Arlene.

My mind flashed back to the girl in the hospital bed.

"She's my sister." Liam had told us.

But he didn't have a sister like that girl. Sure, they looked similar, but maybe they were cousins? Or I'm just imagining it and they were "siblings" in the same way Liam was "daddy".

"Hey Zayn, can I ask you something personal... In a way?" I asked. He looked up from his phone and nodded.

"But that doesn't necessarily mean I'll answer." He added.

"That's fine. It's just. Is the girl in there really Liam's sister?" I asked quietly.

"Yup." He replied slowly. "If you want anymore info, you'll have to ask Liam. I don't know what I can and cannot say." I nodded and turned to go talk to Liam, but was stopped with a hand on my shoulder. "Be careful what you say. This all happened today. I think it's still sinking in for him." Zayn whispered in my ear. I nodded again and started walking over to Liam and Arlene, who were laughing over some joke.

"Hey, Liam?" I started, tapping him on the shoulder. He turned to look at me.

"Yeah, what's up?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Umm... I can speak to you in private?" I asked motioning to Arlene.

"I know when I'm not wanted!" She laughed, putting her hands up jokingly as she walked over to talk to Zayn.

"Ok then. That was subtle. What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

"Well, umm...could I ask about your sister?" I asked quietly, looking into his eyes. I could see the brightness in his eyes vanish.

"What would you like to know?" He replied hesitantly.

"What's her name?" Thinking it was something simple to start with.

"Her name is Olivia... Actually, it was my idea when she was born." I saw a smile flicker on his face. I smiled back.

"How old is she?" I asked, trying to stay smiling in hopes that he would too.
