The Broken Ones

Chapter 16

Reagan's p.o.v.

I was chatting with Zayn while waiting for Neveah to come back when she suddenly raced through the room and headed straight to the bathroom.

As I stood up, someone else came into the room and I looked over at Liam. I narrowed my eyes at him before turning and walking over to the bathroom door.

"Neveah?" I called as I tapped the door with my knuckles. "What happened?" I asked. There was a long moment of silence as I stood there waiting for her answer. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned my head to look at Zayn with Liam behind him.

"What happened Liam? You were out there with her," I asked him as nicely as I could. I have another gut feeling that he was the reason Neveah locked herself in the bathroom.

"Nothing really, we talked a little, she almost fell and I made sure she didn't fall and she ended up kis-"

Before he could finish there was a loud bang on the door. I quickly turned to it.

"Neveah?! Are you alright?" I pressed my ear up against the door.

"Ask the boys to leave please." she told me quietly. I slowly tuned around and faced the boys.

"Leave." I told them bluntly.

"What?" Zayn asked, not clear if he heard me right.

"Please, leave," I started to push them toward the door.

"Please text me or something when we can come back, okay?" Liam practically begged me, his face was shadowed with worry yet a gleam of happiness seemed to shine in his eyes.

"Sure," I said. We said our goodbyes and I turned to Zayn. We embraced in a quick hug as I whispered, "Talk to you later," in his ear and pushed him out the door then locked it.

I then strode over to the bathroom door, pulled a bobby pin out from the messy bun on my head and unlocked the door.

Neveah looked at me, a few tears shimmering in her eyes. I instantly pulled her into a hug. We stood there in silence for a few minutes as she calmed down.

I led her over to the couch and demanded her to explain why she was upset.

She sighed before answering me.

"Well, when I was outside, Liam came out. We chatted and then decided to go back inside, but I tripped and he caught me. I was in his arms and then I looked up into his eyes. Then I kissed him." she then paused for my reaction. My eyes had widened and my hands shot up to cover my mouth as I gasped.

Neveah kissed Liam? Neveah Stuart kissed Liam Payne.

My best friend kissed Liam.

What.

"I don't know what came over me, Rea!" she cried out suddenly. "I didn't know what my feelings were for him until after that accidental kiss..." she trailed off. I looked at her, waiting for her to say it. I could tell she had developed feelings for him over the few days, I could just tell, even though I didn't want to believe it.

"So you think you like him more then a friend now, huh?" I asked. She sheepishly nodded.

"But what should I do? He probably never liked me in the first place and I could have just ruined it all!" she told me, sorrow thick in her voice.

I highly doubted that. First of all, how could he NOT like V? She amazing, pretty, talented, the full package! Plus the day when he first kissed her cheek and all the events that followed, it just adds up.

"I have a feeling he won't be mad or anything about the kiss, just explain to him you were in the moment, and you're sorry. Just talk to him and work it out," I told her calmly. She nodded.
