*Sam’s POV*
I try to keep quiet all together, because I know it’s only a matter of time before the phone call would slip. I try to do as much as I can with Niall, while I still can. He didn’t seem to mind, taking me ice skating (even though he was terrible at it), going out for ice cream with me, taking me to the Carnival and circus. But one night, Niall was at Josh’s birthday party. He invited me to go but I said no because, as sad as it might sound, I’m complete garbage after midnight. I was on Twitter and Instagram, liking a particularly funny picture. I got a message on Twitter to go on my email. I followed and found an email from Monica. Taking a few deep breaths, I opened the email and read “Dear Sam. As promised, I sent you more details. I attached a file with 10 ways to break Niall’s heart but feel free to use your own ideas. I’m giving you 3 weeks before I post the pictures. Monica.” I open the list and read it “1: Reject him 2: Shut yourself off from him 3: break up with him” I close my laptop, not wanting to see anymore.
I only read three of the suggestions and knew they would keep getting worse. I grabbed my pillow and began sobbing into it. The first two would be hard to do but the third would be impossible. What would Niall do if I broke up with him? He has spent so much time with me, for me. As much as I hate to admit it, I got attached. Too attached. This only brought on another wave of sobs as I thought of what might happen to Niall. One word came to me. Probably the worst word to think of. Suicide. I cry even harder. I feel a hand touch my shoulder. I try my best to stop crying and look up from my now tear stained pillow to find Liam.
“L-Liam?” I sniffle. “Why didn’t you go to the party?”
“Drinking isn’t my thing,” he smiles “What’s wrong?”
“M-Monica. S-She’s,” I try to speak between sobs.
“Calm down. Just try to calm down,” Liam pulls me into his chest for a hug. After what seems like hours of crying I calm down. “Now what about Monica?” He asks.
“I can’t tell you,” I say.
“If you tell me, I’ll tell you a secret,” Liam says. D*mn him.
“She wants me to break up with Niall,” I say before crying again. It seems like a lot of crying but I can’t let my prince get away from me. You only get one soul mate. Liam shuffles over to my laptop and opens it. He frowns before closing it.
“I never even finished reading it,” I whimper.
“It’s best you don’t,” He carries me downstairs and gets me some tea.
“Is this why you’re so quiet?” Liam asks. I nod, trying not to cry again. “Why didn’t you tell anyone?”
“Because if I did, she would ruin Niall and I.” I sniffle.
“You know Niall is a pretty good actor…” Liam starts.
“What are you suggesting?” I ask.
“Well what if we pull a prank on Monica?” He asks.
“That sounds better than breaking up with him,” I sniffle.
“We’ll talk about it more in the morning,” He says leading me upstairs. Liam lets me change and helps me brush my teeth before helping me into bed.
“Wait, Leeyum,” I grab his arm. He sits down at the edge of my bed. “What were you going to tell me?”
“Well don’t tell Niall I said this but he was thinking about getting a tattoo of your name,” Liam says.
“No,” I smile “You’re lying.”
“No I’m serious. But I convinced him out of it because I told him it wasn’t worth it and I don’t think I could imagine Niall with a tattoo,” He smiles. “He’s the baby of the group.” As I think about it, I couldn’t imagine Niall with a tattoo either.
