Get Out Of My Head & Fall Into My Arms Instead

Chapter 8

Karina's POV

Lizbeth & I anxiously made our way to Brianna's room. Her mom, Christina, Angela, and Michael were there.

"We'll leave you three alone." Mrs. Martinez gave us a smile before they all walked out.

"I've missed you so much!" I told Brianna.

"So have I! It's so good to have you back!" Lizbeth told her. Brianna smiled.

"How long have I been out?" she asked.

"Almost five months."

"What? That's not possible! It only feels like a day." Brianna responded.

"A very long day." I mumbled.

"Hey so umm where's my stepfather? I haven't seen or heard of him." Brianna said. As she spoke, her voice got quieter and quieter.

"I honestly don't know. That night he left the state. We haven't heard of him." Lizbeth said.

"Of course that bastard ran away." Brianna whispered.

"Why do you want to know? What did he do to you? He's the one that made you go into a comma, isn't he?" I asked.

"Yes. He hit me with a beer bottle." Brianna confessed.

"You've got to tell the police!" Lizbeth told Brianna.

"But I can't. He'll kill me!" Brianna said loudly.

"He can't hurt you anymore. You won't be living in the same house and we'll be looking after you." I insisted.

"Maybe... But umm where are the boys?" Brianna asked. Oh boy...

"What boys? There's a lot of boys in this world!" Lizbeth said.

"You know those five homosexuals we're crazy for!"

"Ohhh! Those!" responded Lizbeth.

"Yes! Those!" she said.

"Well they're in Dallas. That is all I can say." Lizbeth told her.

"So after the party you guys never talked?" Brianna asked disappointedly.

"Well we did for a couple weeks. Then they left on tour." I told Brianna.

"That's it? I'm disappointed in you two!" Brianna told us.

"I continued talking to Niall for a while and Karina to Zayn. But all of a sudden we just stopped. Well, they did." Lizbeth explained.

"Today we actually...." "went to the mall and got you presents. It's your birthday tomorrow!" Lizbeth interrupted me. 'Don't tell her!' she mouthed when Brianna turned around.

"Is it really October already?" Brianna asked.

"Yeah! Lizbeth & I said at the same time. We spent the rest of the afternoon catching up. She was really upset when I told her that I was with Jake. Why does nobody like him?

Lizbeth's POV

Karina & I were on our way to my house when Zayn called Karina. He told us to meet him at Crystal's house. When we got there Zayn, Niall, Liam & Paul were the only ones there. After we talks for a while, Zayn got serious.

"So remember when we were at the mall and Harry was completely clueless on who you were?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah. That's kind of hard to forget." I said.

"Well that's because management told him to forget about Brianna.

"What the fuck?! Why would they do that?" Karina asked angrily.

"Don't be mad at management!" Liam pleaded. Of course that sweetheart would say that! But seriously? That's kind of hard to do.

"They told him that because Harry wouldn't eat and hardly sleep. He would be so upset. Wouldn't pay attention and hardly talk. He was so out of focus. It's like he was t even there. Management even sent him to a therapist and that still didn't work. That's how upset he was. Then one day, management was done. We had a meeting with them. We were prohibited to talk to any of you. Or mention you in the presence of Harry. Harry eventually forgot about Brianna & you girls." Niall explained.

"Wow!" was all Karina could say, I was completely speechless. "Brianna got him good!" Liam exclaimed.

"So how are we supposed to tell Brianna that? Tomorrow's her birthday!" Karina said.

"That's for you to figure out!" Zayn told us.

"But that's so unfair!" I complained.

"Nobody ever said life was fair, let alone easy." responded Zayn.

"We'll come by the hospital tomorrow at around 12." Niall said.

"I'll talk to Brianna. I think I can brake it to her easily." Liam offered.

"Thanks Liam! You're so sweet!" Karina told him. Liam smiled.

We ordered pizza and hung out for an hour. Before we left, Niall pulled me aside.

"Sorry that I stopped answering your DMs, texts, call..."

"Yea, I get it. It's okay." I cut him off.

"You know you're a really sweet, funny, and beautiful girl." Niall told me.

"Thank you." I said & smiled.

"To make it up to you, go on a date with me?" he asked.

"Depends on when."

"Sunday."

"Alright!" I replied.

"LIZBETH! HURRY YOUR BUTT UP! I'M TIRED OF WAITING!" Karina screamed.

"I'M GOING!" I screamed back. Niall laughed. Oh how I love that laugh<3

"Well, goodnight! I'll see you tomorrow, right?!" I said.

"Goodnight. See you tomorrow, babe." Niall said, then kisses my forehead.
