I wake the next morning feeling uneasy, not wanting to talk to Liam. We pack our things in silence, he doesn't try to speak to me and I surely don't try to him. Your dreams grow out of fear and pain. I have no clue what that means, but I have to.

"Is there anything you regret? Anything in the world?" I ask

"What?" my question catches him off guard.

I repeat it.

"No, everything happens for a reason." He answers.

"Even if someone cheats?" I question.

"Sadly, but yes." He nods. "What's with all the questions this morning, babe?"

I shake my head. "Have you seen my journal?" He points to it and gives me a look I haven't seen in a while.

A look of mixed emotions. Pity, for my lack of communication of my feelings. Sorrow, because I'm upset and he doesn't know why. Anger, for the lies I'm telling. I look at my engagement ring and second guess this wedding, second guess our entire relationship. We grab our bags and head downstairs to cars waiting for us. Before I can completely reach for the handle of the hotel door Liam grabs my arm and pulls me back.

"What's wrong Eva? Do you really expect me to believe these lies you're telling?" He questions his face full of anger and concern.

"Yeah, I was hoping you did." He glares at me. "I don't wanna talk about this now, maybe later. When we get home, but not right now." I pull away, giving him my best smile, but it comes out fake and full of hurt. I walk out the door my eyes on the ground, I get in the car and look straight out the window.

*******

When we get home I put my bags in the room, my journal in hand. I walk right pass Liam to the music room locking the door behind me. Toni is in america already studying, so she's no help and I got so much to talk about. I'm getting married, I still have a writing scholar ship for a college in America, my dreams are getting crazy and I have no clue what's going on between Niall and I. Mackenzie! I think to myself, I can call Mackenzie.

I dial her number, placing my phone to my ear and wait for her to answer. I sit in the window, staring at the view it shows. I place the phone between my shoulder and ear, as I write in my journal.

"Hey." Someone chirps.

"Niall, where's Mac?" I ask.

"Right here, but before I give her the phone, we need to meet up somewhere tomorrow and talk." He says.

"Alright. Nandos, tomorrow. Now give her the phone." I say.

"Oops she's not here. Liam already called, he needed her help so she's on her way but she forgot her phone."

"Goodbye Niall." I hang up.

I run my hands through my hair , getting up to sit at the piano. I run my fingers over the smooth surface and start to play. Writing and music have always been my get away from the world. I play a few songs before I hear someone messing with the doorknob Mackenzie.

"Should I even ask?" Niall. I thought he was home.

"My best friend, Eva did this so many times when we were kids, it would be strange if I didn't know how to." Mackenzie says and the door opens.

She smiles at me as she walks towards me. I shake my head at her, my eyes find Liam and her smile breaks. I explain everything to the both of them and Liam looks hurt that I'd think that, then he goes on and on about he loves me and would never cheat.
