Magic (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter Eleven.

Waking up alone, with a hangover was bitter, there was no sweetness attached to the feeling of being alone in my bed.

The club the night before was fun. Jesy and Arielle were the sober ones and the rest of us got rather smashed. I mostly remember dancing, and trying to get this one guy to get away from me on the dance floor while all I was trying to do was dance with the girls.

My phone started ringing on my nightstand.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Samantha? This is Jessica, from Modest."

"Oh, hi Jessica, is everything alright?"

"Kind of. There's a guy who spoke to some paparazzi saying that you were hitting on him and trying to get him to take you home last night when you were at the club with the girls, do you know anything about this?"

I sat up in bed, fully awake now, "Wait what? There was this one guy who kept hitting on me, he was getting mad that I kept telling him to leave me alone and that I had a boyfriend and didn't want to speak to him, all of the girls were right there with me when it happened, Arielle and Jesy weren't drinking at all, they'll tell you. He's just trying to get attention."

"Alright, I just wanted to get the story from you, I'll speak with the other girls. Thank you Sam."

"Of course, thank you as well Jessica."

"You're welcome dear. Goodbye."

"Bye."

I hung up my phone and immediately called Liam.

"Hey babe," he said as he answered, "What's up?"

"Modest just called me."

"What about?"

"At the club last night, there was this guy that kept hitting on me, and I kept telling him to leave me alone and that I was taken and he kept getting angry and continued to try, and all of the girls were right around me while he was doing it and were telling him to leave me alone as well. Apparently he talked to some paps saying quite the opposite, that I was hitting on him and trying to get him to take me home."

He sighed, "Don't worry about it babe, they'll get it all sorted out."

"I know they will, I just wanted to call and tell you before you read it anywhere or anyone else told you about it."

"Well thank you baby, don't stress about this alright? Promise me?"

"I promise."

"Okay babe, we've got to go rehearse so I'll text you later."

"Alright. I love you Liam."

"I love you too Sam, very much, and I miss you. But I'll see you soon."

"I miss you too, I know, I'm excited," I said, thinking about it brought a smile across my face.

"Keep your head up babe, it'll get easier soon I promise."

"I hope so."

"It will, I know it. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay. Bye babe."

"Bye beautiful."

The phone call ended and I set my phone down, putting my hands over my face. I had an awful headache. I got up and went to my bathroom for some medicine. I took it, then decided a shower wouldn't be an awful idea.

I dried my hair afterwards and changed into some yoga pants and one of Liam's sweatshirts. I went downstairs and found something to eat before going and sitting on the couch. Arielle sat with her knees up to her chest, covered with a blanket, watching This Is Us.

"What's wrong kid?" I asked as I sat down next to her.

"I miss him," she said, fighting tears as she spoke.

I pulled her close to me, "I know love. He misses you too. They'll be home for a visit in just 2 weeks, we've just got to pull through till then."

"He's missing so much."

"But he's doing it so he can continue to provide for you both. He's still here with you, just in baby form, and it's mixed with half of you. Soon, you won't have to hide your belly and the world will know and they'll all be so happy for you both, just as the rest of us are. Their dreams can't just stop because of baby Horan. Everyone's got to keep pushing through, it's just the way life is."

"It's not fair that he's got to be away so much."

"I know it's not. But, after this tour, they'll be in London recording, and the next time you tour, you'll be able to bring baby with you and go with him, and that's how it can be from then on, just like Lou always takes Lux with her on tour, it'll be just like that."

"Do you think he'll love him?"

"Do I think that Niall will love the baby?" she nodded, "Of course he will. He's his son, his first and his only. He's already in love with him, he has full FaceTime conversations with your stomach for Christ's sake. Don't let the worry and stress get to you. No one can stop Niall from loving him and no one can stop him from loving you."

She nodded, agreeing with me before we continued to watch the movie.

I spent the majority of the day sitting around the house with Arielle, just watching movies and talking. It was an extremely unproductive day, but it was needed. Recently, we'd been busying ourselves with preparing for the baby, that we hadn't taken time to breathe. It was nice to just sit around with each other and bond and remind ourselves why we were each other's best friends.
