Trapped! (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter - 8

Liam and I were sitting alone in the living room. Both of us were quiet for some reason. The sun was just rising up. Today later on I would have to go look for a job with Zayn. After all, he was my best friend. I was better off with him. Not that I wouldn't say no to Harry. Or Louis. Or Liam. Or Niall. They're all like my brothers. But I thought I'd be better off with Danielle or Eleanor or Ari or Taylor. 

The room was so quiet, you could've heard a tap in the apartment above leak drops of water. Everyone was still in bed. Liam had his arms holding his chin and his legs were crossed.

"Why are you so quiet?" I asked, trying to break the silence. 

"I dunno," Liam said, softly. "Its the perfect time for quiet, isn't it?"

"Yeah," I said, softly. I kinda wanted to ask him something but I was scared if it was  bit of sensitive question. 

"You want me to ask me something?" Liam whispered. He had the perfect reason for whispering. I dunno what but the solemn, sober atmosphere around us sort os encouraged us to whisper.

"How did you know?" I asked, puzzled. It happened all the time. People used to look at me and ask if I wanted to tell something to them, or ask, or any such.

"It's in your eyes," Liam pointed out. "You have green eyes. You may not know it, but green sort of symbols for drama. When your happy, your eyes are shining and jumping with joy and reflecting sunlight off. It makes you look beautiful. When you're thoughtful like this," Liam paused and indicated to my eyes. "Your eyes are calm. There is a distant twinkling in it. It makes you look unique. When your well crying, I noticed day before yesterday, your eyes were flooding, and it looked like glass. It shone to the world to show that you cared. It made you look caring. You are special."

My mouth slid into a small smile. "Thanks, Liam. That sort of brightened my day."

"Your green eyes brighten up my day," Liam said, smiling. "I sort of wish Danielle's eyes did too. Hers is nice. I mean, its brown! But its pretty common and not as rare as green. I'm just talking about her eyes, okay? I mean she's an amazing girlfriend, we were together from the start. But sometimes..."

"Sometimes," I said, without a questioning in my voice. "Her brown eyes twinkle unusally when she's with someone else. Mainly, a boy."

"Yes," Liam said, hanging his head. "I'm stupid. Why am I so jealous of every guy that Danielle speaks to? And I can't hating help hating them too."

"I don't blame you," I said, patting Liam on the back. "Happens all the time. Happened when-when she was alive." My voice cracked a bit but I didn't feel scared or controlling. I wanted it to let it go and I wasn't scared anymore. 

"Oh," Liam said. "What happened?" I knew that he'd noticed the strength and determination my voice so I guess he decided to give me a push.

"Well, my darling Mae always had a best friend," I said, carefully. "It was always temporary, because the friend would soon move away. Mae always found it easy to make friends with people and everyone liked and wanted to be her friend. Well, Mae soon had this best friend called Freesia. She was perfectly fine. But she was fond of bossing people around except for Mae. she looked up to Mae, and Mae looked up to her. Soon, Mae wasn't so keen in looking up to ME! I mean, I'm her older sister. Younger siblings must always look up to their older siblings. Right? Well, the way Mae's beautiful blue eyes shone whenever she talked to Freesia was so great that people for a while ignored me and always asked them if they were sisters or twins! They did look a lot alike, mind you. This got me so very jealous, that I once accidentally, injured Freesia with...with words."

Liam was paying attention. "Would you mind telling me in flashback?"

I smiled. "No problem."
