(9) What Lies Beneath.

HEY EVERYONE! Get ready for one emotional roller coaster (at least I hope it’s a roller coaster..)  

My song for this chapter is Underneath by Adam Lambert :) 

 Also, read the A/N at the end of the chapter. It’s REALLY important.

Enjoy ;)

“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.” Caroline urged. “I think you’ve been through enough today.” I don’t even know if I want to do this. Everything inside of me is urging me to go and find him, make him feel better. He’s never been so drunk before. He never let himself lose control. Liam found him completely wasted and hammered. I just hate when he’s stubborn like that. He doesn’t let anyone in. If only he gave me a chance, I know I would’ve helped him. 

But how would I help him if I’m already completely messed up? And how would I fix myself if he’s one of the reasons I’m completely messed up? Does that even make sense? I know I have the choice to just wait here and someone will tell us what happened, but I don’t have the guts to sit here, and he’s there. I have a gut feeling that he’s in a lot of pain, and my gut feeling is never wrong. 

I looked at Caroline and Rose, who were patiently waiting for me to decide whether to go or not. In a parallel universe, I would’ve jumped into my shoes and ran to the bar they were in. Now? I’m thinking for the umpteenth time if I should see what’s up with my ‘best friend’. 

 I’m such a hypocrite. I claim that he’s sending me mixed signals and acting weirdly around me when I know very well that I’m not sure how I feel about him too. I know that I like James, probably, but then I look at him, and I don’t know what happens. Everything and everyone is ripped out of my mind and I can only see him. Hear him. Get annoyed by him. Get mixed signals from him. My gosh, what the hell am I thinking?!

 “Mia, I don’t understand why are you having such a hard time deciding, it’s either a yes or a no” Rose spoke up. She was right, it’s not that hard to decide. Push all your thoughts away, Mia. This is not the time to think about unspoken feelings. Get your ass to your best friend now. He needs you.

 I looked at Caroline and Rose, finally deciding. “Grab your car keys. We’re going.”

 “Where did Sophie go?” Rose asked once she was completely settled in the driver seat. I flinched, thinking about Sophie. I don’t know what happened between us. I was just trying to understand what’s up with her and we blew up in each other’s faces, and after that news that Liam delivered, I didn’t think about where she might’ve went.

 Caroline looked at me from the backseat, trying to see if I was going to answer that or not. When she found no signal that I was actually going to answer, she spoke up for me. “She, uh” She fixed her voice “She left, she felt tired all of a sudden and she left to lie down a bit.” 

 "Something looks off, what happened?” Rose questioned.

 Caroline looked at me and was about to answer when I cut her off. “We had a..” I tried searching for the right word. “an argument, she got angry and she stormed off. It’s a long story.” I continued, a little uncomfortable by the conversation. “You know how Sophie is.” I chuckled nervously.
