Liz's POV
I still can't believe I've actually been hanging out with Niall. It's all so surreal. Like this has all been just a dream. That I would eventually have to wake up and keep living my miserable life. The life that is filled with the non-stop bullying. The pain. The crying.
The worst wasn't even what they physically did to me. It was everything they said. All the hurt full things they said to me. The words that made me feel worthless. Like "a piece of worthless trash," as they often called me. Not just that, the seemingly simple and harmless combination of syllables that made me wonder, why am I even here? Are they right? Should I just go away? Forever. Never come back
I would eventually have to go back to it all. Some times I think, may be I'll eventually get used to all the pain. But, other times think the pain will always be endless. Honestly, I don't know if it even makes sense, but I'm actually afraid to get used to it. If i do, wont it mean that the hate will never end?
"HEY!" Lou yelled and snapped me out of my trance.
"I have a question," he continued and faced me. I stood still.
I don't know if it was just me, but he created an awfully huge amount of suspense. First, he yells 'hey' to grab everyone's attention. Then he admits that he has a question with an extremely serious face and turns to face me.
Me
Me out of all people.
Honestly I had no clue what he could possibly ask for.
Finally he opened his mouth to talk, "Do you happen to like carrots," he finally asked with the most serious expression he was able to make. I actually thought he was going to ask something serious, judging by his previous expression.
"Well?" He asked once he noticed I hadn't answered for quite some time.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out," I said with a smile playing on my lips. I glanced at Niall and he is laughing just like Harry.
"Well, then," Lou sarcastically says, defeated.
The room was was filled with silence.
"Well, lets play a game," Louis said. I can see how much Louis hates these moments when everyone is quiet.
"What do you want to play?" Harry and I asked simultaneously. He flashed me a smile combined with a wink. He started chuckling while I giggled.
Niall's POV
"what do you want to play?" Liz and Harry simultaneously asked. I glanced at Harry who was looking in Liz's direction. He shot her a smile and a wink.
Nothing to worry about.
"I don't know. Any suggestions?" Louis asked looking at each of us.
"Do you happen to have balloons?" Liz asked me.
"Erm.... no."I contested. "I can go buy some."
"Great! Can I come with?" She asked.
"Yeah, sure!" I contested.
I think i might have just said that with too much excitement and Louis might have noticed.
Great!
Now I have to prepare for all the teasing i'm about to receive. Why does Louis, out of all people have to notice everything?
"BYE NIALLER! BYE LIZ!" Louis exclaimed. Besides noticing everything, he sure can be loud as well. And of course, he has his many moments of being a pain in the arse.
