Shadowed (z.m)

8.

And I was right. The party was a complete disaster. Zayn would not keep his eyes off me, snuggling up to Perrie every time we'd make eye contact. Liam was by my side though Zayn had ruined the mood between us. Zayn had this way of just getting to me generally and he ruined my chances of getting laid last night. Which was a damn shame because I really liked Liam. But I would get back at Zayn. He would not get away that easily and I would make sure to put up a fight.

"Wait, you were about to what, with his best mate?" Chris asked as we were walking down the high street looking for the pharmacy. This hangover was killing me. I drank more and more and forgot about water.

"You're too young to know about those things so I'm not giving you details." I snorted at my younger sister who huffed and bumped her shoulder into mine.

"Oh please, I know you and Zayn have done it more times than there are languages in Europe and you've done every kind of, yeah, that." She grinned and I felt my face turn slightly red. She certainly wasn't a shy girl.

"But still, you're only fifteen. So even though you do know about..... that, I shouldn't continue to be such a bad role model." I sighed, stepping into the pharmacy which was filled with people from yesterday all looking for the same thing.

"Almost sixteen with a boyfriend actually. I'm not stupid or as inexperienced as you may think." She explained, leading the way and grabbing some pain killers off the shelf and handing them to me.

"I really didn't need that information." I cringed, rubbing my temples. Sometimes I felt like I was the younger one in our sister relationship.

"No, but I need the information from yesterday now spill the milk." Chris ordered, gathering her unruly hair to one side.

"It's spill the beans and no not here, people from the party are here and I don't need everyone to know."

"Know what?" A voice behind me said. I started to fear for my life but was instantly relieved once I met his eyes.

"Liam," I smiled and he returned it. I felt Chris grinning at me and Liam. She knew something had happened between us and she wasn't one to keep her mouth shut. "How are you?"

"Same as you..." He chuckled also holding some pain killers. He looked a bit rough but even though he was hung over he still looked hot. "Hey, uhm, a couple friends of mine are throwing a party tonight. Do you, ehm, would you, eh, like to go? With me? Only if you want to of course I understand if you don't because you're hung over and-" He nervously ranted, his gaze not quite reaching my eyes but I interrupted him, easing his nerves.

"I'd love too. I just need to get some rest." I smiled though I was now certain that Zayn would make an appearance. But I'd be okay if I just stuck with Liam.

"Awesome! It's Niall and Louis from the party yesterday, I don't know if you know them but they're great. I'll text you the details or should I pick you up?" He asked excitedly.

"You can pick me up if you want." I laughed and we exchanged numbers before a quick bye and I turned around to see an overly pleased Chris.

"That was so cute! Oh my god, he is so hot!" She jumped up and down squealing earning several dirty looks from young, hung over adults with raging head aches.

"Yeah, he is." I gave a sly smile and she dragged me to pay for the pills before exiting the store and back on the street which was filled with too many people.

"Now can you tell me what happened? Now that I've seen that hunk I might have a clue." She tugged at my arm with another cheesy grin plastered on her face.
