Two Mermaids and One Direction

Liam and Taylor...?

Lily's POV:


I got into my car after a long- and fun day of shopping with Cassie. We decided that we needed a 'Lassie' day because we hadn't had one since we moved to London.


As I was driving, I stopped at Starbucks. I threw open the door and dramatically yelled "I'M HERE! YOUR LIVES JUST GOT BETTER"


I got a few dirty looks, but someone started clapping. I took a bow and said "thank you, thank you very much."
I looked over in the direction of the clapper and almost screamed.


"ED!"

"LILY!"

I ran over and hugged the British ginger.

"What are you doing in Starbucks?" He asked.

I laughed. "Ed, I practically LIVE on Starbucks. The real question is why wouldn't I be at Starbucks."

He smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Care to join me?"

"I'd love to! But first I gotta order."

I walked up to the counter and I didn't see anyone, so I yelled "HEY! CAN I GET SOME SERVICE OVER HERE OR DO I NEED TO RING A BELL?"

Again, I got dirty looks

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT? IS MY AWESOMENESS TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE?"

"Excuse me miss, can I take your order?" Someone FINALLY was behind the counter.

"Oh, yes, thank you. I'll have one caramel frap with extra caramel, with one pump of hazelnut syrup, with java chips and whipped cream blended in, topped with a mocha drizzle."

"Alright, I'll have that out for you in just a minute."

"Thank you."
I walked back over to Ed's table.

"Lily... what was that?"

"That, my dear ginger, was a twix frappuchino"

He nodded. "Oh, that's cool."

"Lily, your order is ready."

I stood up and walked over.
"Ok, thanks."

"That'll be $4.57 (A/N: Sorry it's in dollars!) and you can hand me your number along with that."

I looked up to see a guy that was kinda cute-ish, but absolutely nothing compared to Liam.

"Yeah, I would do that, except"
I was cut off by my phone ringing.

"Oh sorry, I gotta take this, it's my boyfriend." I smirked and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe."

"Oh hey Lili, what's up?"

"I'm headed over to your place, I missed you too much."

"Awh thanks Liam, I'm at Starbucks, but I can go home."

"If you want I can meet you there..."

"It's fine Liam. I'll go home. See you in a few! Love you!"

"Love you too baby"

"Bye"

I ended the call and smirked. I took my drink. "Thank you."

"H-have a nice day." He muttered.

"You too!" I walked back over to Ed.

"I'm meeting Liam at my place. Wanna come with?"

"Sure, I haven't seen him in a while."

We walked out, but not before I turned my head and yelled "PEACE OUT SUCKERS"

In the car, I turned the radio on full blast and began to sing/scream along.


"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Whoa, oh, oh, oh,
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive, radioactive"


The next song came on and I heard a familiar guitar intro.

"OH MY GOSH ED THIS IS YOUR SONG! SING WITH ME!"

"give me love like her
cause lately I've been waking up alone
paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
told you I ain't letting go
and now I'll find my corner
maybe tonight I'll call ya
after my blood
turns into alcohol
and I just wanna hold ya

but give a little time to me
we'll burn this out
we'll play hide and seek
to turn this around
all I want is the taste that your lips allow
my my, my my
oh give me love
my my, my my
give me love

my my, my my,
give me lo-love oh
my my, my my
give me lo-ove oh
my my, my my

give me love like her
cause lately I've been
craving more
and it's been a while
but I still
feel the sa-ame
maybe I should let you go
and now I'll find
my corner
and now tonight
I'll call ya
after my blood
is drowning in alcohol
ooh, and I just wanna hold ya

but give a little time to me
we'll burn this out
we'll play hide and seek
to turn this around
and all I want
is the taste that your lips allow
my my, my my
oh give me love

my my, my my,
give me love
my my, my my
give me love
my my, my my
give me love
my my, my my
give me love
my my, my my
give me lo-o-ove"

We sang together. Ed looked at me with an expression that I couldn't read.

"What...? Am I that bad of a singer?"

"Lily" he looked at me. "That was... amazing."

I immediately choked on air.

"Say WHAT now? My voice is the equivalent of a dying cow's"

He laughed. "It's much better, trust me."

"Sure... anyways. We're here."
I pulled into my familiar parking lot, next to Taylor's car.

We got out and walked into the building.

"So, I live on floor 80. It's the top floor! Liam forced me to let him pay half the rent and he's not even going to live here!"

Ed looked at me sideways. "Forced?"

"Yeah, he held me to the ground and tickled me. I'm extremely ticklish."

He started laughing.

"Hey! It's not funny!" I pouted

"Lily... it actually is kinda funny."

"Whatever."

The elevator door dinged and we stepped out into the hallway. We walked to my room door and I unlocked it.

"Okay, so this is the liv-"

I froze. I don't think anything could've prepared myself for what I just watched.



Ed's POV


When I saw Taylor and Liam kissing, my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Then another thought flashed through my mind. 'Lily. She's dating Liam.' I looked over to her, and the sight nearly broke my heart.

Her mouth was slightly open, as if she was sobbing, but no sound was coming out. Her eyes were filled with tears, threatening to spill out over her lashes. Finally, she seemed to find her voice, she screamed, her voice laced with tears.

"HOW COULD YOU?! LIAM, I LOVED YOU. I FUCKING LOVED YOU. AND TAYLOR! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS. BUT I SUPPOSE IT'S ALRIGHT NOW, MY EX BOYFRIEND IS ALLOWED TO MAKE OUT WITH MY EX FRIEND, RIGHT? C'mon Ed, let's just go." Her voice broke at the end. I pulled her into a one-armed hug, and rubbed her back with my other hand. She buried her head into the crook of my neck, and sobbed. We walked out like that, together. Once we were out the door, I quietly sang

"if you're broken, I'll mend ya, and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on."

Because at that moment, another person was broken. And I had a feeling that it was going to be hard to mend her.
