Christmas on detours [One Direction/Liam Payne]

3. Brooke

"Mum?", I try to get a grip on myself. "Brooke? Is it you?" My mum sounds a bit tired."Yes, it's me...I just...wanna say that I'm going to visit you without Liam." I know that my voice is trembling. "What'sup, my dear? Is anything wrong?" Even though I know that I cannot deceive my mother, I try to pretend I'm alright. "No, everything is alright. Their flight got cancelled so he won't catch the plane.", I explain to her. "Oh...so he won't come?" "No, Mum. He will probably stay with his family and spend Christmas at home.", I tell her a bit annoyed."Oh..good to know...so see you soon, love." "Bye,Mum." I hang up the phone and try to call Liam but he doesn'tanswer, so I decide to go through my luggage and the presents for my family once again. I see Liam's Batman hoodie, that I wear every time I'm cold, in his wardobe. I take it and actually, it still smells like him. I fold it and put it in my suitcase. Maybe I'll regret it later, but I need something to sleep in if he won't come. I know it sounds weird, but I always sleep in the T-shirts Liam that left when he went on tour because it gives me a feeling of safety... It seems like he's right next to me even though he's thousands of miles away from me. I look at my clock, take my luggage and go downstairs to call a taxi. Thirty minutes later, I queue for the check- in at the airport. A few fans notice me and I take some photos with them, but I am just doing it half-heartedly. Everytime I took a photo with a fan,I wished Liam was next to me. When the gate opens, I look around the waiting room and search for Liam, but I can't see his face anywhere.Even though I knew he won't come, I'm disappointed.
