Hey guys.” I waved at them. The guys were wearing beanies and sunglasses and then I saw Zayn missing.
“Where’s Zayn?” Harry then said,
“He went to go pick up Perrie.” While nodding I saw Liam with a weird facial expression. Almost as if he was mad? If I just listen to his thoughts then maybe I’ll know what’s up.
‘I can’t believe she already has another boyfriend.’ Oh my gosh, forgot that they have never met Ryan.
“Oh sorry. This is my best friend, Ryan. Ryan this is One Direction.” I made sure to emphasize on ‘best friend’. Once I had said that it looked like Liam was relieved? Ryan stuck out his hands for each of the guys to shake. All the guys greeted him and once he said greeted Liam, Liam was kind of rude. He hardly shook his hand and he just said a low Hi. This was not the Liam that I knew and saw yesterday. If he acts this way with Jordan then he is definitely going to be told off by him.
“Hey Ryan why don’t you take the guys inside. I need to talk to Liam.” He nodded and whispered in my ear,
“First impression was not good.” I frowned and then focused all my intention on Liam who was just looking everywhere but my direction. Once the guys were out of sight I flicked Liam on his forehead.
“Ow what was that for Sirena?” So I know something’s bothering him because he doesn’t usually use my name in that tone. With all my might I tried to stop myself from reading his mind but I really wanted to.
“Why are you acting this way? You were totally rude to Ryan and he hasn’t even known you for more than two minutes.”
“Oh I’m sorry if I was mean to your best friend.” He had such a sarcastic tone that I seriously felt like slapping him.
“Why don’t you fix your tone and tell me what’s going on?” He finally looked me in the yes but his eyes had no shine to them, like usual, but sadness.
“You replaced me.” Confusion was written all over me.
“I replaced you? What is that supposed to mean?”
“Sirena, you replaced me with a new best friend.”
“Is that was this about? Liam we have been over this before. We stopped being best friends; what did you expect me to do? Wait for my best friends to come back to me? I had to move on and Ryan was there for me and still is.”
“It hurt Sirena.”
“It hurt when you didn’t talk to me. But I got over it.” My voice was barely over a whisper because I was trying to stop myself from yelling. Liam then wiped my cheek making me realize I was crying. His touch calmed me and I unintentionally let out a sigh.
“I’m sorry.”
“I know you are. But it still hurt and I always thought of you and Isabel. Our friendship will last forever but now we just have to try it again…without Isabel.” By now I had stopped crying and was stepping away from him, wiping my tears with my sleeve.
“Liam we are friends so please act like one. Be the Liam I have always known you to be and we will be close like we use to be. I honestly have missed you.” With that he had a shy grin plastered on his face which made me smile. He hugged me and I instantly hugged back. When I hug him it feels a lot different than when I hug Ryan or Jordan. I pulled away, not wanting to but I had to practice.
“I think we should go inside. Are we good?”
“We’re good.” I intertwined our hands and pulled him to Jordan’s. His hands felt so soft and thy fit perfectly; like they were made for each other. Realizing what I was thinking about, I shook my head trying to avoid any more thoughts involving ‘us’.
