Getting Better (Sequel To Mute)

Chapter 10

Brooke

I started at Niall with a blush rising up on my cheeks. My heart was pounding and the blood rang in my ears. Niall's blue eyes analyzed my face and he instantly blushed. "I-I'm sorry I didn't-" I cut him off by putting mu finger in his lips. "I like you too Niall," I said. His eyes sparkled and a small smile appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry about accusing you early," he said. I chuckled. "It's fine," I said softly. Niall smiled and took my hand. "Shall we?" he asked. I laughed. "We shall," I said before we walked back over to the others.

Amber

"Go! They're coming back!" Harry hissed. Yes we are eavesdropping on Brooke and Niall but what do you expect us to do? We all jumped back onto the couches and looked at our phones like we had no idea what happened. Niall and Brooke didn't seem to notice. They were too caught up in their own world. Niall was blushing alike an idiot while staring at the floor and Brooke was staring at him with a lovestruck look on her face. Their hands were intertwined.

"Awww!" Keke said. Brooke and Niall looked up with huge smiles on their faces. I smiled and then I remembered Melissa's number. "Keke!" I hissed. "What?" she look over at me. "Melissa's number," I muttered to him. "Oh yeah!" Keke jumped up. "Zayn, I have a present for you," she walked over and handed Zayn Melissa's number. His face lit up. "How did you get this?" he asked. "We kind of ran into Melissa and Sarah at the mall yesterday," I said.

Zayn jumped up and gave me and Keke a hug. "She's he only thing that has been on my mind lately," he said softly. "Aww, love at first sight!" Keke said. Zayn blushed and sat down. "Should I text her?" he asked. "Yes!" Keke and I said. Brooke and Niall were still in their own little paradise. They were sitting on the couch just staring at each other.

Zayn took a deep breath, but then he texted her. "She didn't respond, what if she thinks I'm a creep," he said nervously. "Ok there are two things wrong in that sentence," Keke said. "For the first thing...you texted her five second ago she's not going to answer right away, and for the second thing... you're freaking ZAYN MALIK she's not going to think you're a creep," Keke said. I just chuckled and looked back at Zayn. "She's right you know," I said.

Zayn sighed. then his phone went off. "It's her!" he said. "Text her!" I said. Zayn smiled at us then stood up to go to his bunk to continue texting Melissa...

"We're good match makers," Keke said turning towards me. "Except for that little mishap with Natalie and Niall," I said softly. Keke waved her hand. "That didn't count," she said. I laughed and walked back over to sit next to Louis on the couch to catch up on some sleep.

When I woke up I felt extremely sick. I groaned holding my stomach. "Amber?" Are you alright love?" Louis asked sitting next to me. "Lou...what time is it?" I asked. "Around five thirty why?" he asked. I groaned. I always get car sick if I'm in a vehicle for more than an hour.

"Car sick," I muttered. Louis rubbed my back. "You'll be fine," he whispered to me. I took deep breath, but I had a massive headache and my stomach was churning. Everyone walked over. "Are you alright Amber?" Liam asked. I shocked my head.

"She gets car sick," Louis said. "Uh oh," Niall said. "I'll be fine," I muttered. "Drink some water," Liam said. He stood up and walked over to the mini fridge before pulling out a water bottle and handling it to me." Thanks Li," I said taking a sip.

"I'll be fine, I just need to look out the window," I muttered. Everyone nodded and left me to rest while I stared out the window at the blue sky and passing cars.

Louis sat next to me and ran his fingers soothingly up and down my arm. Slowly I started to lean against him and I started to drift off to sleep.
