Taken // One Direction [Completed]

Chapter Twenty Four: This Is Us.

Tay.

Small, wet licks were being left on my cheek. I giggled and picked Oreo up, placing her on my stomach. My eyes slowly flickered open as I looked at the tiny dog sitting on my lap.

I could hear soft crying and sniffles coming from another part of the bus. I furrowed my eyebrows together and looked at Oreo. "What's that?" I whispered.

I then giggled, remembering Oreo couldn't answer me.

I slipped my hand under her stomach and picked her up, climbing off my bunk and walking out into the living room area. Where were the boys? I thought.

Liam was sat on the couch with his legs pulled into his chest. He was sniffling and crying. I coughed to get his attention and his head snapped in my direction. 

"What's up, Liam?" I asked.

He opened his arms, clearly needing a hug right now. I walked over and wrapped my arms around him, him doing the same to me. "D-D-Dani and I-I," he stuttered, "w-we bro-oke u-up." He broke into another round of sobs.

"Liam... Oh God, I'm so sorry. Why?" I asked.

"With our schedules it just wasn't working out. We're going to stay friends though," he said, blankly, rubbing his tear-stained cheeks.

"Well at least you're stay friends, right? It's better then never seeing her again," I stated.

"I guess you're right," he said.

Oreo squirmed out of my hands and over to Liam. He smiled and picked her up, hugging her close. "Oreo is my new girlfriend," he chuckled.

I giggled a little."Hey, where are the guys?"

"They're here now," he said.

At that moment, I could hear the door open and the boys rushing in. They ran into the living room. "Hi Liam. Feeling better?" Zayn asked.

Liam nodded with a weak smile. 

"He has a new girlfriend. Oreo." I smiled, pointing to the tiny pup.

They boys all laughed. Niall and Zayn sat on the floor, Louis sat on the coffee table and Harry sat next to me, pulling me onto his lap. He smiled at me, then lifting his finger to my face, tracing over my scar. I smiled at him. "What are you doing?" I whispered.

"Tracing your special-ness before it's gone," he whispered back.

A smile broke onto his lips. I smiled with him. His smile is perfect. I miss being able to call him mine. I miss kissing his soft, warm lips. I miss him.

"What are we doing today?" Zayn asked.

"We're filming for This Is Us. Tay, you have to come and bring Oreo," Louis said.

I nodded and skipped of to get dressed. I wore Harry's old 'HIPSTA PLEASE' tee, which was huge on me and went down to, About three inches over my knee's, so I didn't need any pants under that. I wore my black combat boots with long, cream socks, A black snapback and a load of One Direction bands going up my arms, and then fixed my hair. 

I skipped out of the bathroom and sat at the counter across from Harry. He smiled at me. "Nice outfit."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Are those One Direction bands?" he asked, laughing pointing to the wrist bands.

I giggled. "Yeah, they are."

"Nice!" he chuckled. "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot." I smiled.

"You know the way you've been chatting with Austin a lot lately?" I nodded, waiting for him to continue. "Do you like him?" Harry asked.
