The Letter (Zayn Malik Fanfiction) [2013 Watty Awards]

Chapter 26

Beverly's POV

It's been a week since I've become Zayn's girlfriend. But there was a problem. Not with Zayn or me but Liam. He seems.. off? Liam isn't himself. I can see it through his eyes and smiles. Right now Liam is looking out of the tour bus window, deep in thought. 

"Zayn?" I asked looking up at Zayn since I was lying on his stomach. 

"Yeah babe?" Zayn asked looking down with his concerned eyes,

"Don't you think that Liam have been acting a little off these few days...?"

"You mean his fake smiles and his eyes?" 

"Yeah.."

"Should we go talk to him?" 

"In private, Zayn. Can't let the lads and Ella know what is going on.."

I got off Zayn and I helped Zayn off the couch before we walked towards Liam. I sat in front of Liam. "Liam?" I said quietly and he snapped out of his daze.

"Huh? Yeah? What's wrong Bev?" Liam asked worried.

"Nothing is wrong Liam," I said and he heaved a sigh of relief," It's you Liam. There is something wrong with you.." 

His eyes widen. A flicker of sadness appeared on his face but it then disappeared as quickly as it came. I looked at Zayn and Zayn was frowning at Liam. 

"Liam. The both of us know there is something wrong. You can lie to the others but to the two of us, it's impossible," I said and Liam shook his head.

"You can't fool me Liam. No one can fool me. I'm a freaking Scorpio. No one fools Scorpios," I said staring at Liam.

"How is it related?" Liam asked confused.

"I read them on Twitter. Scorpio can sense fakeness a mile away and it's been proven," I said crossing my arms.

I looked at Liam and he looked away, avoiding my gaze. "Spill." I said and he looked up sighing.

"I contacted Danielle," Liam said and I smiled, unfolding my arms.

"Isn't that a good thing?" I asked raising an eyebrown.

"She doesn't want to give a second chance.." Liam said trailing off.

"Liam..." 

Zayn put a hand on Liam's back and comforted him. "Liam, listen to me," I said and Liam looked up with watery eyes.

"Some people are meant to fall in love with each other but not meant to be together.." I said.

"What do you mean?" Liam asked sniffing. I could see that it took everything he had not to break down.

"Liam, Danielle and you were together and then the both of you fell in love with each other right?"

"Yeah..."

"It looked like the both of you will get married and grow old together right?" 

"Yeah.. So why are you telling me this?! I know all of this!"

"But then the both of you broke up. Why? I have no idea but all I can say is that if the both of you are meant to be together then the both of you will be together. Don't you get it? Maybe Danielle and you aren't meant to be.."

Liam looked at the floor. His eyes showed that he was far away. He is physically here but mentally, he's far away. He suddenly looked up. "You're right Bev.. If we're meant to be together then we'll be together..." Liam said.

"Great that you understand," I said smiling at Liam before smiling at Zayn and Zayn returned the smile.

"Hey a question Liam, when are we stopping?" I asked and Liam shrugged back to old self.

I picked up my phone and called. "Mum?" I said when she picked up the phone.

"Yes honey?" Mum replied.

"When are we stopping over..? I've got the urge..." 

"We're stopping in about an hour. After settling down and everything, it should have been evening time. Then you are free."

"At where?" 

"Blackpool."

"Yeah! I love you Mum."

"I was guessing you might have the urge so I made that our first stop. The money will be in your bank account. Be careful dear. This is the money your grandma gave you. You know what to do. Be back at the hotel before morning."

"Yes Mum! Mind if I bring the five lads and Ella?"

"Keep them safe."

"Will do Mum! See you later!"

I hung up my phone smiling which made Zayn and Liam look at me weirdly. "What's going on babe?" Zayn asked cautiously.

"Nothing. By the way we're reaching Blackpool in about an hour. Oh and I'm bringing you all out somewhere," I said before I winked at the both of them and walked into the 'bedroom'. 

My phone vibrated.

From: Afro

Heard you'll be in town soon. Are you in?

To: Afro

I'm in. Text me the address. Once I'm done with everything, I'll be there. I'll be bringing some of my friends too ;) 6 of them to be exact. So I need your help. You'll be rewarded.

I slipped my phone into my pocket smiling. Oh boy. The boys won't know what've hit em.
