Bad Influence

82

The day I had dreaded for so long was here. Today was the day Liam and the rest of One Direction would be going on their Up All Night Tour. I really wanted Liam to do what made him happy, it made me happy to see that they got so successful and that he was living his dream with my brother and his best friends, but his dream also took him what felt like a billion miles away from me. Me, Liam, Louis, Eleanor and Nicole were eating breakfast in silence. Me and Liam had spent every single minute we could together. He was with me when I hung out with Nikki, or Eleanor, or Matt. We had double dates with Louis and El and with Matt and Niall. I tried to spend time with the other boys as well, but my first priority were Liam. His hand were intertwined with mine under the table as we were eating. The other boys and Matt came over as soon as we were done eating. The boys, minus Matt, had bags with them, packed for months on the road. «The bus is outside.» Zayn announced. «I guess this is it then.» Louis said. Eleanor had started to cry and I felt myself starting to tear up as well. I wanted to say goodbye to Liam last, so I started with Harry. I gave him a hug and a little smile, before I moved on to Niall. Niall had to let go of Matt's hand to give me a proper hug. «Take care of my Matt, alright?» Niall whispered in my ear before I let him go. I nodded. Niall wrapped his arms around Matt as soon as he could. Matt, being taller then Niall, gave him a kiss on the head. I turned to give Zayn a hug. His arms held me tight. «I'll really miss you Little One.» He mumbled into my hair. «I'll miss you too Zap.» I whispered before I let him go. Louis quickly pulled me into a hug. «Take care of yourself, alright? And don't do anything stupid just because I'm not here.» He told me. I nodded and kissed his cheek. «I love you Boo.» I said. He smiled. «I love you too Angie.» He told me. He then turned to hold, and kiss Eleanor for as long as he could. I could feel a strong pair of arms wrap around me. I turned and buried my face in his neck, taking in as much of his sent as I could. Liam still had clothes, and he had left a cologne bottle at home, but I still needed to take in as much of him as I could. I was really crying now while Liam was gently stroking my back. I looked up and met his gaze. His brown eyes looked really sad. I knew he was excited for this, but I also knew this was breaking his heart. His eyes gave that away. «I love you.» He told me, his voice shaking, he barely got the words out. I gave him a weak smile. «I love you.» I told him before he connected his lips with mine. My hands snuck around his neck as he pulled me closer. I never wanted to let go, but I knew I had to. Liam had to go. We broke the kiss and Liam just stood there, holding me. «I love you, so much! And I'll miss you so much.» He whispered. I nodded. «I love you. And I'll miss you too.» I said as Liam let go of me. «It's not that long until we see each other again, but you know that.» Liam said. I nodded. «I'm counting the days.» I mumbled. Liam hugged me once more. Matt walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me when the boys left. My arms wrapped around his waist and my head rested on his shoulder. «It'll be alright.» Matt said as Niall gave us one last wave before they walked out of the apartment. I could swear I heard Matt sob, but I didn't look to make sure.

The apartment felt so small after the boys had left. Matt had offered to stay, Eleanor had as well. Me and Nikki cold use the company. So we made everything ready for a huge sleepover in the living room. «So, Nikki, hands down, you and Harry, anything there?» Matt asked as soon as we had found snacks, something to drink and we had some good music in the background. «It's nothing there. Yes he is handsome, very sexy, but he cheated on Angel, and who's to say he can't do that to me? Besides, I just got out of a relationship with someone, so I don't need this right now.» Nicole said. «Well, Niall tells me that Harry talks about you non-stop. You could at least give the poor lad a chance. Maybe he's changed, you never know.» Matt said. Nicole laughed. «A cheater never changes. Besides, I'm done with boys, you know, after Chad, I just don't think I'll ever be ready for a new relationship, ever.» Nicole said. I gently put my arm around her. «It's alright.» I told her. «Take your time, but I still think that you'll give the lad a chance when the right guy comes along.» Eleanor said. Nicole smiled. «Maybe.» She told us. «Should we watch a movie? That way I won't be thinking about how all I want right now is to cuddle my boyfriend.» Matt suggested. We nodded. «But nothing romantic, or sad, I refuse to cry.» I said. Matt and Eleanor nodded. We settled on watching some comedy that Eleanor thought were good. None of us were really paying attention, Matt were half asleep, Eleanor were braiding her hair while Nikki were eating popcorn and scrolling through her phone. I picked up my own and texted Liam.

I smiled at the text. He was so sweet, worrying about my nightmares. To be fair, this was the first night I would have without Liam for about three months, so I might get a nightmare.

Liam responded with a heart. I turned my phone off and looked at the screen, it was no way I would get the plot of the movie now. I sighed and got more comfortable. I closed my eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
