Two Mermaids and One Direction

Lily Baby

Taylor's POV


I was mad. No, I was furious. Here I was, sitting at home, watching TV, when pictures pop up of Zayn and Lily. ALONE. TOGETHER.

All of a sudden, my phone buzzed, and it was from Liam. It read:

'Coming over to yours in a few'

I smirked. I knew it was time for payback. Big time.



Liam's POV


We had just finished rehearsals, and I missed Lily, so I called her and said that I was going to visit her. She said that she was at Starbucks but was going home.

I hopped in my car and drove, when Ed Sheeran's "Give Me Love" came on. I smiled; Lily loved Ed and this song reminded me of her.

When I pulled up into the parking lot of the familiar building, I placed my Ray Bans and a beanie on my face and head. Thankfully, no one in the lobby recognized me. I walked into the elevator and pressed in '80'.

When I walked to the door, I knocked and then put the spare key that Lily had given me into the lock. When I took a step in, someone put a blindfold on me and said "I've got a surprise for you."

I smiled. "Okay, what is it?"

"You'll see"

She led me somewhere and told me to sit down. I think it was the couch. Then she leaned in and kissed me, but something felt wrong. There weren't any of the usual butterflies, or sparks and fireworks going off when I usually kissed Lily. Something felt... wrong.
Suddenly, a door opened and I heard two people's footsteps.

I took my blindfold off and saw Lily and Ed. I was confused. If I wasn't kissing Lily, then wh-wait. I just realised that I kissed another girl. To me, Lily was the only girl in the world. No one else matters if I'm with Lily. I turned and saw Taylor, of all people. She's dating Zayn. Why did she even trick me into kissing her? I thought she and Lily were friends... I guess not after this.

Suddenly, Lily started screaming at us.
"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."

In those few seconds, my heart shattered. I had hurt my baby, the person I love most in the entire world. I had lost Lilianna Grace Miller, the love of my life.



Lily's POV


I've felt lost, alone, worthless, miserable, but all of those were nothing compared to this feeling. The feeling was heartbreak. And I knew it was worse, because with everything else, I could contain my emotions. With heartbreak, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing from my eyes until I couldn't cry anymore. Then I just sobbed, my body shaking, without any tears. There was nothing I could do but lay in Ed's arms, and cry. When Cassie came back in with ice cream, I looked at her. Her eyes were a mixture of sorrow and pity.

"Stop, don't look at me like that. I don't want any pity." I wailed. Ed rubbed my back and Cassie's eyes filled with tears. She handed me my ice cream, and walked out.

I looked down, and almost smiled. It was turtle tracks, my favorite kind. Cassie even put some milk in it with caramel sauce, a cherry, and a tiny bit of cool whip. Exactly how I like it.
I took a bite, and sighed. Ed smiled at me.

"Do you want me to go?"

"No. Please stay, if you can."

"I'll be here as long as you need me."

"Thank you Ed."

I took another bite, and all-too-soon, it was gone.

"Hey Ed, can you take me hom-" I stopped. I lived with... Taylor. Or, I used to. I was going to need to find a new place to live.

"Oh. Never mind. All of my stuff is at... her house."

He frowned. "I can send Harry or Cassie to go get your stuff."

"Oh okay, thanks."

He half-carried me into the living room, where Cassie and Harry were. They were watching a movie. I looked at it and realized that it was Toy Story. Liam's favorite movie. I drew a sharp intake of breath, and Cassie's head spun around. She immediately switched it off, and walked over.

"What is it Lily?"

"I-I don't have any of m-my stuff. I-it's all at-"

"I see. Harry and I will go get it for you. You and Ed can stay here."

Harry stood up, and they walked out of the door. I laid down on the couch, and Ed sat down on the opposite end.

"Hey! Get your feet outta my face!" I complained!

"Get your face outta my feet!" He retorted

"I wouldn't have to if you didn't put your feet there in the first place!" I replied, sassily.

He moved his feet.

"VICTORY!" I yelled. He chuckled.

"Let's watch TV." He said

"Ok! Can we watch 'The Vampire Diaries?"

He groaned. "Do we have to?"

"Yes. You don't have a choice. Now give me that remote."

"I bet you didn't make Liam wat-" he stopped talking. I squeezed my eyes shut, not wanting to let myself cry. A tear escaped my eye, and rolled down my cheek. Ed pulled me into a hug and wiped it away with his thumb.

"Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that."

Suddenly, the door burst open.

"CASS? WE'RE HOM- oh."

It was Emily and Brittany. Britt's eyes were red and puffy. So I guess she feels somewhat the same.

"Lily?" Emily asked. I nodded.

"Oh. My. God." Britt whispered. "Lily, baby-" I burst into tears again.

"He called her that." Ed explained.

"He? Who's 'he?'" Emily asked.

"L-L-Liam." I sobbed.

"Lily? Would you like for me to explain?" Ed asked gently.

"Explain? Explain what? What's going on?" Emily asked. Brit was just standing with her mouth slightly open.

"Liam-er-he cheated on Lily. With Taylor. We walked in on them snogging on the sofa."

Now it was Emily's turn to be speechless

"Lily, come here." Brit opened her arms. And for the first time, I didn't turn down someone's hug. I ran, straight into her arms, and we cried together, the two broken girls.
