Liam's POV

Another long day of tour rehearsals, I flop onto the couch of my empty flat and begins absentmindedly flipping through the channels on the telly. The ringing of my phone quickly brings me out of my trance and I smile when I see the name and face appear on the screen, the beautiful name and face I wait for every minute of the day so I quickly accept the call.

"Hey babe." I answer with a smile.

"Aw you call her babe that's so cute!" a strange voice squeals. I almost drop the phone in shock of hearing this strange voice, who the hell has Mari's phone?

"Uh who the hell is this?" I question nervously.

"Oops sorry for scaring you! It's Caleb and Erica, Mari's friends!" he says happily as if nothing's out of the ordinary.

"Oh...hi. What's up? Is Mari okay?" I ask. Did she get into another accident? My heart race increases tenfold with every worse case scenario.

"Yeah she's just dandy! She's helping the girls with an outfit change and she doesn't really know we're calling you but we have something important to tell you." he presses on casually. 

"Okay?" I'm growing impatient and more confused, what do they have to tell me?

"Okay so we found an article and someone on this tour practically exposed you and Mari's secret breakup and how you got back together--" he begins nonchalantly.

"What?! Who?!" I roar in shock. How could this keep happening to us? And why is she still reading these articles?

"Whoa, slow down Mr. Bossy Pants! I'm getting there." he claims with a sassy attitude. How can he be so calm about this? "Anyway...where was I? Oh yeah! So Mari, Erica and I basically went on this whole undercover search to find out who the rat is and apparently it's Ryan, one of the backup dancers."

I can feel my blood boiling, of course it would be that bastard. His sorry ass has had it out for us since the beginning and Mari being as naive and kind-hearted as she is is willing to befriend anyone before truly knowing them. I'm not only enraged but I feel bad for her, this will just be another reason for her crippling trust issues.

"You still there?" Caleb asks worriedly.

"Yeah." I state firmly. "So what should I do?"

"That's kind of up to you really. Try not to make it too violent otherwise it'll end up on the front page of The Sun and you probably don't want that to happen." he advises coolly.

"Okay. Thanks for letting me know, Caleb. I gotta go." I stated.

"No problem! Remember, this conversation never happened." he reminds me before hanging up. I throw my phone on the cushion next to me in anger, leaning my head back and letting out a frustrated sigh.

Marielle's POV

I've just finished with the girls last outfit change of the night as I start hobbling around the dressing room looking for my phone. I could've sworn I had it with me earlier...

"Hey!" Caleb says happily as he and Erica enter the room.

"Hey." I reply absentmindedly, searching through the sofa cushions for my phone. "Have you seen my phone?" I ask, turning to them.

"Oh...yeah! You left it by the snack table!" Caleb replies, returning it to me. That's odd; I don't remember leaving it there. I give him a confused look and he just gives me a big smile and shrugged shoulders.

"Anyway, are you excited to see Liam tomorrow?" Erica asks slyly.

"Yeah..." I reply with a shy smile. Tomorrow we'll be back in London for the final show of the DNA Tour and there's going to be so many of Little Mix's famous friends there, including One Direction. Honestly, I'm just looking forward to finally being back with Liam in our flat in London. Even though I've been having the absolute time of my life on this tour, I kind of have a feel for what Liam has to go through when he's on tour and it'll make it easier for me to understand when he has to leave for tour in a few months.

"Not to mention the end of tour after party! I'm sure they'll be lots of exciting things happening there." Caleb says, giving Erica a smirk. At first I'm confused at what he means by but Caleb always says weird things so I just brush it off to go collect my things. The only thing I'm excited for is to finally be in Liam's arms once again.
