LIV.

Piper sat across from me, on her bed. I sat on mine. She had just gotten back from her date with Louis. "News. Now," I demanded. Piper was completely giggly and couldn't seem to talk- she was overflowing with happiness. "Louis asked me to be his girlfriend, Liv!"

I screamed in joy. "I'm so happy for you, oh my gosh! You guys are so cute. I totally ship it." Piper laughed, and her cheeks were pink with excitement.

"Hm.. Pouis?" I pondered, trying to come up with a ship name. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "No way."

"Piper and Louis... Pi- no... Lipis?" I asked. Piper shook her head. "No."

A lightbulb appeared in my brain. "I got it! Liper!" She giggled. "I like it. Liper."

Piper looked at me, a smirk on her face. "Now let's talk about you and Niall."

I blushed. "There's nothing to talk about."

"Oh please, don't give me that," she laughed. "I see how you act around him. You totally like him!"

"Nope. It's not going to happen. It can't happen." I refused.

"Why not? You know he likes you too, right?"

"Piper. I can't like him..." I trailed off. "Liv, why are you holding back?" she asked.

"I just.. I feel like I can't like him. I mean, I was just in a relationship. I can't like someone right after a break-up! That makes me a terrible person." I said quietly. These thoughts had been bugging me for the past few days.

Piper looked at me, her eyes wide in disbelief. "Are you kidding? You're holding back because of Harry? Of course you can like someone after a breakup. Besides, he was the one to hurt you, remember?"

"I don't want to get hurt again, Pipe."

"Niall wouldn't hurt you," she said gently. "I see how he looks at you. Louis told me that after Harry was with that other girl, Niall yelled at him and came straight to you. He really cares about you, Liv."

"He did?" I felt the sadness lighten from my emotions. "Maybe you're right, then."

"Of course I'm right! Now you better make sure Niall knows you feel the same way, because we leave tomorrow." Her eyes dulled at this. "We're leaving tomorrow."

I pulled her into a hug. "Get some sleep."

"You too," she smiled. "We'll just have to make sure that tomorrow is the best it can be."

I got under my covers and thought about Niall. What would I say to him? Hey, so I'm going back to America but by the way I actually have feelings for you and really like you? My mind flooded with different scenarios as I drifted off to sleep.
