The 'average' sleepover.

Chapter 11.

Liam's P.O.V

I drove and drove for miles with no sence of direction, no clue where I was heading. I just needed to get away, to make an escape from reality.

The turrential rain lashed onto the windscreen. The windscreen wipers were on full speed but I still couldn't see anything apart from the blur of the rain. I can't afford to pull over, I need to get a head start before Zayn realises I've don't a runner. I feel bad for my Lou but I'm sure he'd understand.

Zayn's P.O.V

"Louis, I know you can't hear me but I need to get something off my chest because no one else seems to have time to listen. I'm gay Lou, and I love Liam. Sometimes I feel like he may be gay too but I'm sure it's just my head playing tricks on me. I just can't take this heartache anymore. Knowing that the one I love just doesn't feel the same way.  I feel like no one really understands, I mean you're in love with Sophie, Niall's in love with Ellen, and Haz is in love with Sian and then there's me. Oh I'm so confused. I want to love girls, I really do, but I can only think of them as friends. Don't get me wrong - I adore Ellen, Sian and Soph, they are the most fun but I only think of them as little sisters, y'know? Oh it's no use, you can't even hear me. I'll shut up now mate, sorry."

Even though I know Lou can't hear me I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel so releaved, like I can breathe again. I leant over and gently stroked Louis' soft, delicate forehead... He felt warmer! All of the other times I had done this his head was freezing, yet today it was warmer!

I squeezed his hot hand. A moment or two later I felt a slight movement in Lou's hand, my heart missed a couple of beats! I knew Lou had put allo his efforts into moving his hand but this was a massive step! Lou was trying to awkaken!

I checked the time... 7:48pm. It had been an hour and a half since Liam left, surely he was on his way soon.

Ellen's P.O.V

This was the happiest I'd seen everyone all week. Niall and Harry both had perfect smiles across their flawless faces.

"Okay, okay! Everyone I have a joke for you all!" Sophie announced with a proud look on her face.

"Oooo, lets hear it!" Sian replied enthusiastically.

"What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor?!"

"I don't know, what did the farmer say when he lost his tractor?" Niall, Harry, Sian and I chimed in unison.

"WHERE'S MY TRACTOR?!" Sophie blurted out as her and Sian fell into fits of laughter. Niall, Harry and I all exchanged a look as if to say 'am I missing something?'

 Sophie and Sian were now crying with laughter and pretty much all of Nando's had turn around to see what the commotion was all about. Niall started to giggle, which set me off because Niall's giggle is just 'asdfghjkl'... if you get me. Soon enough we were all laughing away, this was the happiest we'd been for what seems like a long time.

 Liam's P.O.V

*D-ding* The low petrol sighn came on... Shoot! Right, I'm going to have to stop in the nearest layby. The rain was still bucketing it down and I could just make out a layby around a quarter of a mile away.

As I pulled over I saw my phone on the passenger seat light up out of the corner of my eye. In the next breath the cowbells rang out, meaning the start of What Makes You Beautiful - my ringtone. I reached over to my iPhone only to see 'Zayn calling'. I threw it back  onto the passenger seat, I wasn't ready to talk. I was now three and a half hours later than I said I'd be, it was 9.48. I had been driving at the pace of a snail for the whole time so I don't expect to have got anywhere far.

I closed my eyes and tried to think about everything...
