Mistake or Fate? (Book 1) *BEING EDITED*

Chapter 20 - That's What Best Friends Are For

(Darrian P.O.V.) 

"Awww babe he called didn't he?" I said looking at her. She just nodded, and kept crying.

"Where's your phone?" I asked looking around. She pointed to the top of the piano. I saw it, grabbed, and walked out of the booth. I redialed David's number. It rang three times before he answered. 

"Sydney?" I heard

"Guess again." I said.

"Darrian? Why are you using Syd's phone if you have your own?" he said.

"1. You do not have the right to call her Syd. Only her friends can. and 2. I don't have your number." I said. I was getting angry at this point.

"Ohh............." He said.

"HOW COULD YOU?! You need to stop messing with her. Haven't you done enough already?" I yelled.

"I guess she told you then...." he said acting all innocent.

"SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO! SHE'S BEEN SITTING HERE CRYING FOR THE PAST 10 MINUTES! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" I screamed. 

"I'M SORRY OK! I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE HER CRY! I JUST NEEDED HER TO KNOW!" He yelled back. Oh he did not just yell at me. Shit is about to go down!

"No, not ok. You know, she was just getting over you. She finally started letting people back in, and trusting people. But then you had to go and mess with her head and more importantly her heart. You cannot expect her to just be ok with it." I said starting to calm down a bit. "She still loved you. And up until now, she was perfectly happy moving on. She's almost found someone new." 

"Wait what?" he said. Sounding almost a bit hurt at what I had just said.

"She's met someone new David. She's was just about to let go. Now that you've screwed with her feelings, I don't know that she'll be able to let him in." I said referring to Niall. 

"Who is he? Do I know him?" He said.

"No, you don't, and you never will." I said. A bit proud of myself.

"Can I just see her? Please. I just want to see how happy she is with this guy." I cannot believe him. To have the nerve to ask. UGGGG! I just want to kick his ass!

"NO! OF COURSE NOT! AFTER THE WAY SHE REACTED OVER THE PHONE, HOW DO YOU THINK SHE'LL REACT IN PERSON?! and besides, we're going to L.A. for the next few weeks." I said. 

"When are you leaving?" he questioned. I debated for a moment on whether or not I should tell him. I looked up and Syd had calmed down a bit, but there were still tears streaming down her face. 

"Tomorrow at eleven." I said. I regretted saying the words the minute they left my mouth. 

"I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow." he said. Oh no he didn't!

"David, if you show up at that airport, I will make sure you never have children ever!" I said. 

"Why?Just tell me why I can't see her at least once." He said almost begging.

"Because, if she sees you, I know she will fall again hard. And I know, that she will not be able to handle another heartbreak. So you better not show up at that airport." I said almost yelling again.

"I will be at that airport whether you like it or not! You cannot stop me from showing up at that airport." he said. That was the last straw. At that point, my anger got the best of me, and I flipped a lid. 

"IF YOU SHOW UP AT THAT AIRPORT, SHE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU." I said and with that I hung up the phone stormed back into the booth and gave Syd her phone back. 

"Thank you." she said and I smiled. 

"Don't mention it. It's my job." I said and winked at her. We all just sat there and laughed. 

"GUYS YOU'RE GONNA WANNA COME SEE THIS!" Zayn yelled from the top of the stairs. 

"WHAT?" we all yelled at the same time.

"YOU GUYS ARE ON THE NEWS!" he yelled back and with that we were up the stairs. 

"Wait, I don't want them to see me like this. You guys go, I'll be right there." Syd said.

"Okay. We'll tell you what happens." and with that she went into the bathroom to fix up her make-up. 

Meanwhile, we went into the living room to find a news cast about the boys.

"The five boys from the popular british/irish boy band One Direction, were spotted with three mystery girls today in Maine. Rumors have been said that they are there to give tickets to the contest winners  of a ticket giveaway. Liam Payne tweeted "Hanging at the breakwater with the boys and some new friends. So much fun!" At that point we all glared at Liam for a second and he shrunk down. Then we turned our heads back to the T.V.  Who are these girls and will the become future lovers of the famous boys? Who knows. We'll keep you posted."

We all sat there with our jaws dropped. Just then Syd walked in looking quite gorgeous considering she had just bawled her eyes out. She does a nice clean up. I taught her well. 

"What did I miss?" She said. 

"Umm...........well apperently we were caught at the breakwater after someone," I paused to glare at Liam. "tweeted that we were there." I explained. She nodded.

"Wait, why were you guys watching the news?" Paige asked. Come to think of it I was wondering that to.

"Well we were flipping and we heard One Direction so we stopped to watch." Louis explained. 

"I see..........so, what do we do now?" Paige asked.

"S'MORES!!!!!" Louis yelled. 

"Ok ok, let me get the stuff and then we'll go start the fire." Syd said laughing a bit. I was glad that she was remotely happy again.

"Hey do want some help?" Niall asked Syd. Was that an excuse to flirt? I think so!

"Yeah sure" she answered smiling. They walked into the kitchen, and the rest of us head outside with chairs and set them up around the firepit. This was going to be interesting.
