Euphonious Memories {H.S}

11.

As I walked out of my apartment, I pulled my phone out of my back pocket so that I could text Niall and tell him to meet me.

I went to my contacts and looked for his name. When I didn't see it in my contact list, I realized that I had never actually texted him before.

I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion. How would I be able to meet him? The only chance that I had was to go to the coffee shop that we always ran into each other in.

As I was walking, my phone buzzed.

Unknown: Pick me up a coffee if you go to the coffee shop.
-H

I texted the number backed knowing that it was Harry, and added his name to my contact list.

When I walked into the coffee shop, as I expected I saw Niall.

"Hey Skyler!" He said in a perky voice when he saw me. This pissed me off a little, but I kept my cool.

"Hey I was actually just trying to text you." I said glaring at him.

"Oh were you?" He asked looking nervous.

"Yeah. You know I wanted to have a little chat with you about something, but when I looked through my contacts you I couldn't find your name." His blue eye were wide with....fear?

"I put my number in I promise." He said looking at me in an innocent manner.

"Really?" I said crossing my arms over my chest. "Okay then text me right now."

"Why?" He asked with a nervous chuckle.. "You are right in front of me."

"If it's not that big of a deal then just do it." He just stood there, so I snatched his phone from his hands. I went to his contacts and found my name. I clicked on it and sent a text to myself. I waited a few seconds for it to come through. Finally, my phone buzzed.

Liam: hi

It took me a second to realize that the message was from me and not my brother.

"Why did it come through as Liam?!" I yelled. He snatched his phone from my hands.

"I can explain." He said back to me.

" Wait....this wasn't an accident?" I asked.

"No" he answered looking at his feet. I just glared at him as I tried to gather my thoughts.

"Wait..." I said putting the pieces together. "It was you wasn't it? You sent the text about the emergency?"

He nodded.

"Why?" Why would you do that? I went all the way back to South Carolina just to find out that there was not emergency!" I was yelling again. " Do you know that I traveled for 11 hours?! You better have a good reason." He hesitated before talking.

"Fine" He said. "It was me alright? I was the one who trashed your apartment." My jaw dropped. My heart fell to my feet.

"That was you?" I asked my voice was soft and I felt tears coming. "Why?" I sobbed.

"Follow me and I'll tell explain." He said and I followed him outside and we sat on a park bench that wasn't far from the coffee house.

"So are you gonna tell me or what?" I asked.

"When I found out that Harry was staying at your apartment, I immediately knew I had a chance for revenge. I knew he was staying there before I met you. I overheard a conversation he had on the phone. Then I met you by coincidence. I knew your brother and Harry in high school. I recognized Liam's name in your contacts when we switched numbers, so I put my number under his name. I texted you the message about the emergency to get you out of the apartment. Then after you left and the other two left, I went in and trashed the place."

"Why though? Why would you want revenge on Harry? What did he ever do to you?" I asked.

"In high school, he was always Mr. perfect. He and Liam were always the ones with the perfect grades and at the same time, they were good at literally every sport. Harry beat me at everything. He beat me at getting a spot on the soccer team, he always had better grades, and he was always getting the solos in choir."

"So you get back at him by ruining his and my things?" I ask him totally confused. "Didn't you hurt him enough with the whole Gemma thing?" His eyes went wide at this.

"He told you about that?"

"Yes and it all sounds fishy to me."

"Well I know way more details on that story than he does." He says grinning in an evil way.

"What?"

"Come with me."

We get in his car and he drives to his house. The drive wasn't long, but it was silent as I gathered my thoughts. We get to a big house and get out of the car.

"Come in" He tells me opening the door to his house. We sat on his couch and he starts telling the story.

"I never liked the Styles family. None of them. That includes Gemma. I only dated her to make Harry mad, I thought he hated me, but he seemed fine with me dating her. He had everything. Nothing ever went wrong in his life, so I took her out one night. That whole story about someone taking her away, yeah that never happened."

"Then what happened to her?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know.

"After we ate, I took her to a place where I had dug a grave for her. I pushed her in, and buried her alive." I sat there scared and shocked.

He was mental, Niall was crazy. And there I sat, not five feet away from him on his couch, in his house.
