I Won't Give Up On Us [BOOK 2]

Chapter 3

"Bella?" Liam asks surprised. I awkwardly wave to him. "Hey Liam." All of a sudden he pulls me into a big crushing hug.

"Choking, not breathing." I said. "Sorry." he said and let's me go. "I'm just surprised that you're here and that you've changed so much." he said. "I even you were dead for crying out loud! You didn't even answer any of our calls, texts, everything!" he added.

"Well I'm here now." I said. "And I'm not dead. Really you thought I was dead?" I questioned him.

I hear footsteps coming over and then I got picked up. "Bella!" Louis yelled as he pulled me to even bigger hug from him. "Really choking, really not breathing." I said.

"Sorry." he said. He puts me down and gives me another hug, this time a softer hug. I hug Harry and then Niall. Then it came to Zayn. Let's just say that it was getting a little bit more awkward . "Hey Bella." he said. "Sup Malik." I said.

When we hugged, it was more and more awkward, but then I still feel sparks but it wasn't like it was when I first met him. It was less now. I still like him but why do I feel less sparks?

I pull away and hug Eleanor then start to talk. "I'm assuming you guys want to know where I've been for the last year and a half?" I say more as a question. "Yeah pretty much." said Liam. Well, here goes nothing.

Zayn's POV

Bella takes a deep breath then she starts the story. I can't believe that she's here. I really missed her so, so much. Yeah I know I didn't go looking for her but I couldn't because you guys already know why.

"When I left the house, Miguel and Preeti were moving here. They offered me to stay with them, to get things out of my head. It took me a while to get over what's happened. I cried in my sleep, I couldn't eat anything for about a few weeks or so until Jared was there for me. When I had any problems, I would always go to Jared. He helped me eat again and he was always by my side. Then when I was better I've been working on my music, I did a movie which I don't want you guys to watch because I know Liam would be mad at me. So yeah that's it." she said.

"But still you thought I was dead Liam?" she asks. All I'm thinking was "Who's Jared?" I said that out loud did I?

"Miguel's brother." she said. "He's actually a cool guy and he is really fun to be with." she added. "Bella, can I talk to you. Private." said Liam.

He gets up and Bella follows him. I made her feel that way. She couldn't sleep or eat until Jared came along. This made me think, what if she falls for him?

My POV

We walked to Liam's room and when I was in he shut the door. "Who's Jared?" He asks. Oh here we go again.

"Miguel's brother." I answered.

"How old is he?"

"My age, 19 going to be 20 in June."

"How old are you?"

"Dude I'm 19. I just said that he's my age." Didn't he listen?

"Do you like him?"

"After what happened no he just like a brother to me. To be honest, he's a better brother than you." I said.

I was about to walk out of the door but he blocks it. "Liam move." I said. "Bells I found out." he said. "Found out what?" I ask. "About how you and Zayn broke up." he said.

What? He found out before me? "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" I ask. "Because you never text us back!" he said. "Oh yeah, Well how did you find out?" I ask.

"It wasn't that hard, when she was here last week she was on her phone talking to someone and I overheard it. That's right I overheard everything. So looks like someone is going to pay." he said. "Damn it." I muttered and take 5 bucks and hand it to him.

"So what do we do? Do we tell them or do we have to wait until they find out?" I ask.

Wow I ask a lot of questions. "We have to wait until Perrie admits that she lied to you and Zayn." he said. "Now how are me going to do that?" I ask. "Yeah I don't know. We'll figure it out." he said. "So what's the movie you don't want me to see?" he asks, crossing his arms around his chest.

"Uh," I started off but someone opened the door. "Li, you're going to have to see this." Harry said.

We head downstairs and saw that they were watching, oh god they had to show the trailer now. "Bella." said Liam.

"Gotta go. Jared and I have to head over to a friend's house bye!" I lied and went out the door. See I told you he would be mad. Oh shut up brain.
