Tell Me A Lie {A One Direction Fan Fic.}

Chapter Ten: Enemies?

Hey guys! Sorry for taking so long! I've had four exams and projects that have had to be in last week, so here it is!

What will happen to Riley? Will she die? :O Read to find out! ;)

Zayn's POV:

It's been a week already and she hasn't woken up. I'm starting to get really worried. I mean, what if she doesn't wake up? What will I tell Mum?

Mum has been more worried about Riley lately, which is a good thing. I think.

''Charity, what the hell are you doing?!'' makes me jump. I look up and see Charity hugging Liam. Jackie's glaring at her. Ooh, if only looks could kill. She would be dead by now. Which would be a relief.

''Charity, get off Jackie's boyfriend.'' I mutter. She sighs and lets go of Liam. Then she comes over to me.

''I'm going upstairs.'' I mumble, standing up. She pouts.

''Aww!''

I stare at her. What does she mean? I don't like her.

''Can we go for a walk?'' she asks me. What the hell?

''You can, I want to wait here.'' I tell her.

''Wait for what?'' she asks me. I shrug.

''The pizza... We ordered it half an hour ago.'' I lie.

''We ordered pizza?!'' Oh damn you Nialler! Way to ruin the situation!

''Yes. A cheese one.'' I tell him, with my teeth gritted.

''Oh yeah! It'll be cold by the time it gets here!'' Louis cries. Thank the Lord for Louis Tomlinson.

Phew. Charity nods, unconvincingly.

She gets up and go upstairs and I sigh.

Then my phone rings.

I pick up and stand up, going upstairs away from the noise to talk to my Mum.

''How's Riley?''

''She's better. I think. Not any worse, anyway.''

''Aw, maybe I should come back.'' she mumbles.

''Why? You have to wait for the funeral, don't you?''

''Oh it's been delayed. Because it's raining a lot here you see.''

''Oh. Right.''

''I might come back...''

''No, it's fine Mum. Riley will be fine.'' I tell her determinedly.

''Yes, she will.''

Awkward silence.

''I hope she'll be Okay.''

''She will!'' I cry, getting exasperated quickly.

''Zayn! Don't speak to me like that!'' she snaps.

''Sorry! Everyone's worrying and stuff and I'm just sure she'll be Okay.''

''I understand.'' she answers me.

I hear shouts and screams from downstairs. I panic, hoping there isn't any more fires.

''Zayn? What's that?'' Mum asks me.

''I dunno. Nothing.'' I reply, shutting the door.

''How's the decorating coming along?''

''It's good. Another week or two I think.'' I mumble, listening to the hubbub below.
