I wake from my coma like sleep at 11:30 am. I still have my trainers on and my muscles hurt which means I did run last night. ANd ran to Niall's house where I made one of the most important descions in my life as of this moment. I need to help Niall and his brother so that they know I heard their pleas for help. I don't know how to help but I will figure it out whether I turn their parents in or make Niall run off with Eddie.  I will have  to tell Niall later and ask what he thinks becasue its all up to him really. I just hope he agrees with me and we can work out some sort of plan.

I stretch and walk downstairs to the kitchen and am immediately greeted by the warm scent of pancakes and bacon. My favourite! I go sit down at the island and watch my mum finish making breakfast.

"Morning Lizzie. How did you sleep?" My mum asks sweetly.

"Mornin' mum. Alright I guess. It took me awhile to fall asleep though." I yawn.

"I could tell. I heard you leave the house at like 3."  "You did?" "Of course Lizzie. YOu were a bit loud. ANd where did you go?" "Sorry. and I went for a run." "At 3 Am?" "3AM si the perfect time to run when you have to clear your thoughts. Just you and the air. No one else. No distractions. just you and your thoughts." My mum stares at me for a minute. She must think Im mental or something.  "Oh. What did you have to clear your mind about?" I can't tell her why I really went. SHe would call teh police and think I really am mental. Quick think of something. "Things like school, track. What if I screw up as captain and let the team down. Or get hurt and can't run again. I would be devesated mum. WHat if that happens? What would I do?" Oh man this is really getting to me. I never meant it too, it was supposed to be a cover up. But its casuing me to be emotional."Oh Lizzie. Honey." She croones as she walks over to me and starts to hug me." Don't think that way. YOu won't let the teamdown. You are one of the best leaders that team has, I watch you at the meets helping others on their handoffs and takeoffs or congraulating them and comforting them when they don't qualify. YOu will be the best capitain. ANd If you think you will get hurt  you just might so don't think about it. YOu will psych yourself out. Okay?"

She's right. She's always right. "THanks mum. But um.. you fogot the pancakes are on the stove still." A burning smell fills the air. SHe shrieks and runs back over to the stove to flip the charred pancakes. I laugh so hard I almost fell of the stool. TOny joins us in the kitchen and asks, "WHat the hell is burning?"

"Mum burned the food like always." I reply nonchlantly. My mum is a God awful cook. Pancakes are one of the only things she can make besides food that is already made and just neds to be heated up.

Tony shrugs and sits next to me. WE wait eagerly for the pancakes because they are only made for special occasions. "So Lizie where do you want to go for dinner tonight?" TOny asks as a plate of the heavenly fluffy discs of goodness is placed in front of us. "Um.. How bout The Rose Garden?" I ask with my mouth full of food. "SOunds good to us." 

We finish eating and clean up the plates and counters and what ever else got messy during breakfast. I thank my mum and walk upstairs to my room. I check my phone. Its 1:58 pm and I have a few notifications. instagram comment, Michael CLifford tweeted, and a couple of texts. One from Coach Greg about upcoming practices, One from GEmma bout shopping today and if we could hang out, and one from Niall. I reply to GEmma and then read Niall's text. 

To:Me From Niall Horan :P

"Hey Elizabeth. Can we talk?"

My heart races. My mind fills with thoughts like last night. Has something gone wrong?  Is he okay? Is Ed? Is it good or bad? I need to know if I have to pick him up or call someone? Breathe Lizzie. Just see what it is. 

"To: Niall Horan :P From: Me

"Hiya Niall. Yea sure wht's up?"

Now I wait.
