I'd Like to be Somebody Else

Chapter 80

Noel wouldn't say anything more about what happened in America and something told me there was more to it than he was saying. So I went straight to Liam and if he wasn't talking either I was going to Alan and then Guigsy and Bonehead, I'd go to management if I had to.

"Tell us what happened Liam." I demanded.

"What did Noel tell you?" he asked absentmindedly.

"That you all need a rest."

"There you go, he's not lying." he shrugged.

He really, really didn't seem to care. I didn't get what was up with him. He'd always fought for Oasis and suddenly he couldn't care less.

"Come on, he's too much of a professional to start a tour then cancelled it a few days later..."

"Did September the other year." he interrupted.

I rolled my eyes, why was he being so difficult? "Cos you hit him with a tambourine and was insulting the fans all the time! So what was it this time?"

"Nothing. Noel says we're tired, we're fucking tired." He insisted

"I'll go ask Alan and every fucker else." I threatened. "I'm not dropping it until I know so just fucking tell me!"

"Alright last night we were in America we had a fight but it's fuck all to do with the tour getting cancelled." he admitted.

I didn't know how serious to take that, I never knew with them. "A fight like..." I mimicked punching.

"Yeah, but it wasn't that bad."

He insisted the cricket bat incident wasn't bad, they had a warped sense of what counted as a serious fight.

"No blood, no fight, right?" I quoted what Noel told me when they fought in Sheffield Arena.

"Suppose." he shrugged again. "There would have been if we weren't pulled apart."

"So that's why you're not touring no more?"

"No! It's cos we need some time off." he insisted as adamant as Noel.

"What did you fight about?"

He looked dead serious. "You... everything just slipped out, sorry."

That was very obviously bullshit.

"Noel came home wanting to expand our family, the truth please." I revealed getting sick of being lied to.

He stood and blinked at me. "What?"

"I know you didn't tell him about us cos we're trying for a baby." I explained even though I knew that wasn't the problem he had with what I said.

He continued to stare. "Why?"

"Cos that's what we want to do." I told him not being able to answer why we want another baby in our family.

"He says fucking jump, you say how high too now?"

"Noel isn't ordering me to have his child, you idiot." I was offended he thought Noel could treat me like that. "If he tried I'd be gone before he could say pregnant, you know I would."

"Sounds like it." he commented.

"Don't tell anyone we're trying, I shouldn't have said anything." I couldn't see him shouting his mouth off about this but I still felt I had to say it.

I didn't need him holding on to any more of my secrets, especially now I was losing him but he agreed to keep quiet.

"Course, you sure this was his idea, he actually wants this?" he asked skeptically. "He was shit scared last time."
