The Arranged Marriage (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22

AN: I'm going to be more specific with the whole 'early December' thing. The day out (which is still going on in this chapter) is the 7th of December, 2013.

Melissa's POV

"Wake up, Melissa." I hear Niall say.

"No." I whine.

"Get up before Liam leaves us behind." Niall says, shaking me.

"Is he still mad at me?" I ask, opening my eyes and getting out of the car.

Niall thinks for a moment and says, "I don't think he's mad at you, per say. He's just- well he's. I actually don't know. He's just being a moody arse."

"That's not nice to say." I laugh.

"Eh, he's basically my brother, I can say whatever I want to say about him." Niall shrugs.

Next thing I know Niall and I caught up to Liam. "Decided to finally get up?" Liam asks.

"Nah, I'm just sleep walking." I say sarcastically. Liam just snorts and keeps walking.

"I told you he's being a moody arse." Niall whispers, making me laugh.

"Where exactly are we?" I ask once we stop walking.

"We're at an amusement park." Niall answers.

"If we're at an amusement park why is it so empty here? And why would we come to an amusement park in December?" I question.

"We may or may not have rented out the entire park. Obviously, as you can see, it's an indoors." Niall answers my first question quickly. No wonder the other three had me wear something comfortable.

"Oh, I don't know how I missed the giant indoor amusement park sign. I'm an idiot some- wait what?! YOU RENTED OUT THE ENTIRE PARK??" I realize what he said mid-sentence.

Liam roll his eyes and says, "Stop being such a drama queen."

Ignoring what Liam said, I talk to Niall while we walk into the park.

In half an hour we've covered one section of this very large, five sectioned park. "Can we get a snack or all of the vendors closed?" I ask Niall.

"There's one spot in the middle of the park that's open, and it has all of the snacks that they sell." Niall doesn't even finish his sentence before I start dragging him and a reluctant Liam to the vendor.

"Slow down, Mel." Niall laughs, trying not to trip over his feet.

With my speed, we made it to the vendor in a couple of minutes. "Hi ya! Can I have a large, blue cotton candy, an elephant ear with just powdered sugar, a small grape snow cone, and a diet coke in one of those souvenir cups, please? Oh, and a medium order of chips." Niall, Liam and the cashier look like fish out of water.

"Would you like anything else?" The cashier sniggers.

"Yeah, an order of a change of attitude for you." I smirk. Niall, Liam and some of the other people working at the vendor laugh. The cashier just huffs and asks for my money.

Once I get all of my food we sit down and I start eating.

"Why did you get so much food?" Niall asks me.

"I'm not eating this all by myself. You guys can have anything you want except for the snow cone." I tell them. Niall and Liam start stuffing their faces with food.

After eating all of the food Niall leaves Liam and I to go to the restroom. "Liam, why are you being so moody today?" I ask, hoping I've done nothing wrong. I get no answer. "I get that we're still going through a rough time and that we haven't always gotten along, but this isn't you. How do expect things to get better if you don't tell me what's wrong."

"It's nothing, Melissa." Liam says, looking at his hands.

"Liam, I'm the master of lying, so I know when someone's lying." I inform him.

"It's nothing you need to worry about, Mel. You haven't done anything wrong, it's me. Okay?" Liam tells me. I let it go, but I still don't believe him.

And that's how the rest of our time at the park goes; running around and pretending like I'm not worried about Liam.

Liam's POV

She's got no clue...

AN: I know it's short, but I really wanted to update!

I apologize for the wishy washy way this story is going. I read it over and this story is literally all over the place. I had the entire story pictured in my mind and I ended up writing the exact opposite. Actually, this was supposed to be one of the cliché arranged marriage story's where they fall in love and get married anyways. Now I'm not even sure where this story is going. I'm so confused with this story! But still want to continue this story! It's just gonna need some major editing once I finish it.

Anyways, I hope that you guys like this chapter! What's Liam's problem? Ooo, ooo *raises hand* I know what his problem is! But I'm not telling you. Hehe.

Can I get one vote and one comment for the next chapter? Or maybe just one vote?

I love all of you!
