Chapter 21

"Kiely, do you have any more of that smoothie stuff?" I yelled downstairs, I didn't get an answer. "Kiely?" I called again, still no answer. I make my way down the stairs to find the house empty. I look around the house and eventually find a note on the table in the hallway.

  Went out with Austin! Be back later

                          <3 Kiely

Is all it said with a heart on the top, thanks for the heads up Ki!! By the time 5:45 came I was to the point of totally talking myself out of meeting Liam, but I got up the strength getting into my car and heading to Times Square.

The traffic was a nightmare, by the time I got to Starbucks I was 30 minutes late. I rushed to get there and when I turned the corner there was Liam on a bench with his head in his hands.

"Hey, stranger!" I said, he looked up with a surprised look on his face. But it soon turned into a smile. "I didn't think you'd show!" He got up and walked over to me. "Well here I am!" I moved to the door, but Liam beat me to it opening it and letting me go first.

"Look Liam! I don't know why you wanted me to meet you here, but I'm glad I came" I told him after we talked for a while. "Yeah me too!" He responded with his million dollar smile that I fell in love with.

"Now, we should probably get to that party!" He said getting up from his seat, he leant his hand and we were off to the party.

The hotel it was being held at was just down the street so Liam and I walked hand in hand. "Why did you ask me to meet you?" I asked breaking the silence between us.

"I wanted to see you again and say how sorry I was for not calling you," I smiled a little bit, giving him a comforting squeeze.

The two of us walked up the concrete step to the body guard standing outside the door, "Names please?" He asked looking up from his clipboard. "Liam Payne and Lena Mahone!" Liam told him happily. "Your good, have fun!" He said removing the velvet rope for us to enter.

"Liam, mate glad you made it!" Niall approached the two of us, looking pretty drunk. "Niall you might want to lay off the drinks," Liam told him, Niall nodding in response.

"Look, I know you're not my boyfriend, but please don't get drunk," I said turning to Liam who was helping me with my coat. "I don't want you to get embarrassed!" He nodded and led me to the rest of the boys.
