Memories

C5: Oops, wrong room

I froze. My mind froze and so did my heart.

I completely forgot I was on the phone when a familiar guy showed up in front of me. I was so shocked that I couldn't think about anything. I couldn't even utter a word nor could I open my mouth.

"Who?? Who was James?? Hellrrrrrr!" the phone spoke but I didn't mind it.

The guy smiled at me and said, "Hi Georgia. It's been so long."

I couldn't open my mouth and if I could, it would just probably hang open.

I put the phone down, forgetting the fact that I was on FaceTime with Katie. I was finally able to speak.

"H.. Hi." I said and even managed to give a teeny tiny smile.

"James, I can't believe you got me this watch!!" Allie said to guy.

My mind started to function a little. So apparently, the guy I was talking to is James. I still couldn't see 'James', my childhood best friend, in the person in front of me.

All I could see is.. "Liam Payne?" I whispered.

It was not that much of a whisper, I think, because Allie looked at me with a puzzled face while James had a shocked yet disturbed face on.

"Your milkshake's ready, Al!" Aunt Karen screamed from downstairs and Allie immediately ran down.

I felt so weird, still confused and awkward that I ended my FaceTime with Katie. I didn't even notice if she was still there but I ended the call.

"I'm confused." I told James.

"I'm still same old James to you guys. I may seem to be different. I am to be Liam Payne to the rest of the world but not to you guys. Please don't tell Allie yet. Georgia, all I want is for you guys to treat me the same." James said and he sounded really serious.

"Hmm. This is so hard. It's something really major." I sighed.

He looked down and I could say he got really upset with what I said.

"...but yeah, I guess you're still that kid who would give a lollipop if you upset me. I'll try my best, James." I added.

His face lit up, looked at me then hugged me. We then walked down the stairs together for dinner. After that, I went up to the guest room, wore my pajamas, lay on my bed then stared at the ceiling. Different thoughts kept my mind busy...

James, my cousin, is Liam Payne of One Direction. I can't believe it. Omg. Katie. Katie, my die hard, hard core directioner bestfriend. How would she react about this? Should I tell her? It's funny to think that while my best friend was fangirling about this British-Irish band, my sister was just on the phone with one of them. Katie would get crazy if she'd find out.

Same thoughts kept buzzing my head 'til I slowly fell asleep. It was definitely an exhausting day for me not just physically but also emotionally.

The next day, I woke up at about 6 AM and went with Aunt Karen to the local market. The whole time, I still have been thinking about James. I guess I can deal with it. I mean, I'm not that much of a directioner. I won't even get affected. I hope.

We were all ready for breakfast when James came down. He sat in front of me. Okay, I was kind of freaking out on the inside. I wasn't sure I have fully accepted the fact but I had to act cool and normal. I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THIS.

The day passed by so fast. I did nothing but watch movies.

At about 8 pm, I decided to go on twitter and realized it was already Katie's birthday in the U.S. I tried reaching her on FaceTime and Skype but she won't pick-up. I decided, then, to just send her a video greeting.
