Emily’s P.O.V
Shielding my eyes as the sun shines in from the windows, looking over my shoulder the bed is empty but me. I hear Zayn in the shower singing some song I’ve never heard before but it’s a nice song and his voice is wonderful. Getting out of bed, I shrug on my robe and tug the belt tight around my waist. Everyone except Mackenzie, Liam, Zayn, and Niall sit in the living room either with a cup of coffee or a bowl of cereal. Mackenzie never sleeps this late, like ever, she’s an early bird like myself which also surprises me since this is the latest I’ve slept in a long time. I feel all of my worries shift to Mackenzie as I quickly run to her room. I open her door as quietly as possible hoping not to wait her up though she’s awake or at least I think she is. She sits upright in bed, eyes glued to the wall and her hands are clutching something. I’ve never seen her like this, her skin so pale, almost sick looking and he eyes don’t move from the wall even though she knows I’m in her room.
“Where’s Liam?” I ask though I almost know she won’t answer. After a few moments of silence, I walk into the living room.
“Does anyone know where Liam is?” I ask though everyone looks bewildered by my question.
“He’s with Kenz, isn’t he?” Eleanor responds without even thinking for a minute.
“Nope, I think she might be sick.” Though before I even finish the sentence Louis is up from the couch and out of the room.
Mackenzie’s P.O.V
He’s gone, left more like it though I shouldn’t be surprised. This always happens. I get attached, share my feelings and then it’s all pulled away from me like a rug from under my feet. I can’t get up, but I don’t want to either because getting up and going out only makes it more real, that Liam’s left me all alone and for reasons that he hasn’t shared with me. I hear someone come into my room, they ask me something that I almost can’t hear but I do and I wish I knew the answer of where Liam was. They leave suddenly and a few minutes later another person has decided to enter my room. Their next to me in an instant and then I know that it’s Louis and his arms cradle me like a child just like they did the summer I stayed with him.
“Kenz, where’s Liam?” he whispers as he tries to sooth me though when I don’t answer I see his eyes drift to the note as his fingers urgently reach for them. His brown eyes quickly scan the note before looking at the doorway, standing there is Harry who I hadn’t expected at all.
“Haz Call Liam Now!” He almost yells as I see Harry run from the door.
“It’s okay to cry Kenz, don’t bottle it all up babe.” He mumbles knowing that he’s right as I feel the tears fall down my cheeks.
My cheeks are drenched, my eyes red, puffy and hurting from all the crying. Louis, who still cradles me like an infant has talked to a few people since the beginning of my persistent crying; Harry couldn’t get a hold of Liam after ringing him several times and neither could Niall, Emily and Amy have both asked if they could be alone with me but Louis turned them down, and Eleanor brought both me and Louis tea that I have neglected to drink since I haven’t stopped sobbing until now. I sniffle a few times, making sure that the tears are gone for at least now and I can finally rest. Louis tucks me into the bed before stroking my hair and singing I few lines of Little Things though before he’s far from done I feel my swollen eye lids begin to shut and the darkness of sleep enclosing me once more.
