Blood sweat and tears! (a one direction story)

chapter 7- Lillie-Rose and Jacob: Part 1

~~~Zayn's POV~~~

we had been waiting about 20 minutes for Liam and Brooke to get out the bathroom when the door unbolted.

Brooke and Liam walked out hand in hand laughing about something. my mouth fell open to match Harry's when we saw Liam's hair. it was all shaved! management was going to have something to say about that.

"close your mouths boys, you'll catch flies" Liam said, closing our mouths for us. He sat down on the floor next to Brooke and just looked at us.

The look on Harry's face was priceless and he looked like he was about to cry.

"we were the curl buddies!" he said to Liam, his bottom lip quivering. I laughed silently. Harry was such a dope sometimes.

"not anymore curly, he's my bald buddy now" Brooke said poking her tongue out at Harry. that girl is so immature sometimes.

my thoughts were interrupted because of a phone ringing, it was Brooke's. she jumped up from the floor running out of the room to answer the ringing phone.

~~~Brooke's POV~~~

When my phone rang I sprang up and skipped out of the room to answer my phone. I don't like answering phone calls in front of people so I always leave the room. I looked at the called ID, it was unknown surprisingly. I answered the phone.

~The Phone Call~

Me: hello?

Caller: hi is this Brooke?

Me: yes this is her, who is this?

Caller: hey Brooke it's Lillie-Rose

Me: Lillie?

Lillie-Rose: how are you?

Me: where have you been?

Lillie: listen, me and Jake are in a bit of trouble and we need somewhere to stay for a while.

Me: Jacob's with you?

Lillie: yeah can we stay with you?

Me: hang on let me call you back.

I ended the call and added her number to my contacts. my old best friend Lillie-Rose was contacting me. I hadn't seen her since before I had cancer. she doesn't even know I have it. it should be fun telling her, and my big brother come to think of it. note the sarcasm there.

I walked back into the living room where Harry, Zayn and Liam were sitting drinking tea. "hey guys how long am I staying?" I asked. I'm not sure if I'm staying the night at all. it's 3:30pm, I hope they let me stay.

"I dunno, you'll have to ask Niall since this is his flat." Liam said. He was throwing cheese puffs at Harry at the time. Harry hadn't even noticed yet and he had 3 cheese puffs in his chocolate brown locks.

"Liam, quit throwing cheese puffs at Harry" I sighed, picking the cheese puffs from Harry's hair.

"Dude!" Harry exclaimed, whoops I just landed Liam right in it. Zayn and I laughed when Harry playfully slapped Liam on the arm.

"hey Brooke, I thought you were going to go talk to Niall" Liam said. oh yeah I almost forgot about that.

"oh yeah thanks for reminding me Li Li Bear" I said without thinking. oh my god I just realised that I just gave Liam a nickname.

"yay you gave me a nickname first, I thought it would be me but Harry and Zayn though it would be Niall, so you both owe me £20" Liam said engulfing me in a hug.

I quickly returned the hug before jumping up to go to Niall's room. I stood anxiously by his door, debating whether to actually knock or not.
