Chapter Twelve

After that, we all decided to watch an action film although I zoned out most of the time. I just couldn’t get my head around Liam asking my sister out. She’s never shown interest in him before that moment and she knew I was into him back when I used to spend hours watching video’s of them. She always takes something away from me even without realising. Everyone did always like her better. And by the looks of it Emma and Liam weren’t concentrating on the movie either. They were chatting amongst themselves a lot which distracted me. I glanced at the clock, waiting for an appropriate time to leave their house. I didn’t want to be there.

I stood up. “Oh Freya, look at the time. It’s almost Seven O’clock. Didn’t your Mum say she wanted us home?”

“Oh yeah, you’re right. We better go before she shouts at us.” She followed my pursuit and stood up. She turned to Emma, “C’mon, you can see him another time.”

Louis had fallen asleep during the movie and he looked at peace in his sleep so neither of us disturbed him. We could take the bus home.

“Iggy… you do realise its freezing outside?” She pointed to the sleeveless top I was wearing and my denim shorts. I hadn’t thought to bring a jacket because it was boiling earlier on in the day even though Freya had warned me. Emma was more sensible and brought a jacket with her and she wore jeans.

“I can handle the cold, I’ll be fine,” I smiled at her although I was cursing myself in my head. There’s really no point to in complaining since it was my own fault.

“Do you want to borrow my coat?” Liam offered causing my stomach to flutter once again.

“No!” I almost shouted, still angry for asking my sister out. They gave me questioning looks so I spoke a little calmer. “Oh, I mean, really! I’ll be okay.” He shrugged it off with a slight frown.

“Look after yourselves,” Harry commented as he gave me a hug, then Emma and Freya.

“Take care,” Niall added.

“It’s dark outside, I’ll walk you girls’ home,” Liam suggested, grabbing his coat even though neither of us had agreed yet.

“But you’d be walking back alone,” Emma pointed out with a slight frown. 

Liam turned around to look behind him and Harry was stood there. “I’m sure Harry wouldn’t mind tagging along. That way I’m not alone,” he smiled at her.

“Damn! Really? I was hoping to go out and get some Flack action soon,” Harry moaned with a frown.

“What if I get raped on the way home?” Although Liam was joking, he sounded too serious which cracked me up.

As we made our way to the bus stop I kept zoning out. I walked ahead of the others for a bit and when I glanced back Liam had his arm around Emma’s shoulder and pulled her in to protect her from the wind. Her arm was wrapped around his waist. Harry caught up to me after a little while.  

“What’s up?” He asked, nudging me with his shoulders as he did earlier that day.

“Just thinking,” I answered. I should really be happy for her but all I could feel was jealousy and upset. Seriously, why did she get everything?

I shivered vigorously just as a gust of wind blew, my hair flying everywhere. “Gosh girl, here, you can wear this. You really should wear more clothes next time,” he joked, shrugging off his coat, which went down to my knees. I took it without complaining because he had a hoodie on underneath anyway. I whispered a thanks just as we approached the bus stop.

Emma walked into the bus first, followed by Harry before I walked into the bus, Liam and Freya behind me. Emma and Harry walked over to the stairs leading to the upper deck. I sighed since I hated being upstairs and Emma knew this.

“I think I’ll just stay downstairs. I’ll see you guys in a bit.”

“I’ll keep you company down here if you want,” Liam offered, smiling at me, although his gaze followed the movement of Emma up the stairs. He wanted to go there with her but was nice enough to offer.

“Me too,” Freya added. I knew she loved it on the upper deck so I refused both their offers.

“You guys go upstairs, I’ll be fine. Just as long as you don’t forget me when you get off the bus,” I joked. I made my way to the back of the bus where there were three empty seats; one by the window, one opposite that seat and the other next to the seat by the window. I sat on the one next to the window and I hadn’t noticed Liam followed until he took the seat next to me.

“The reason I came is to make sure you girls are alright. I’m not going to leave you alone when that’s the reason we came. Besides, who’d I watch Family Guy with if something happen to you?” Liam said. My stomach fluttered. I really like him but it was so wrong. He’s got my sister now, shouldn’t he be with her?

“Thanks, you really don’t have to. You can go with them still.”

“Nahh, I’m fine here,” he replied. We were in silence for a little while, listening to the conversations around us and watching the scenery go by, until I had the urge to ask Liam something that had been bothering me.

“So, you like my sister?” I lowered my face so he couldn’t see the upset it held.

“Yeah, I guess so.” I felt him shrug, although I continued to look down. Hearing him say that was really messing with my mind.

“Oh, how long?” I struggled to say this.

“Not too long. She’s really nice and fun to be around. I like her eyes; they’re…different.” I risked it and looked at him but he was smiling into the air ahead of him, probably in the memory of Emma’s eyes. “I just don’t get why the two of you argue all the time.”

“Well, we have our differences. Like…like our eyes and our hair are different.” I turned it into a joke as the both of us laughed.

“I’m not going to force you to tell me, it’s cool,” Liam said when he stopped laughing.  

We got home and the boys greeted our parents before taking their leave. I went straight to bed and I didn’t care that I hadn’t eaten. I wasn’t hungry anyway.
