Part 24 - Panic for Liam

So I walk over to Elena’s room. I get close my ear to the door to hear if there’s a sound in there. Nothing. Then I roll the door knob and push the door slowly. I step into the room and it’s really silent. There I see Elena on her bed. I walk over to it and immediately, her adorable face catches my eyes. I stare at her face for a moment, enjoying the real peaceful of sleeping face. I can’t resist my hand. I stroke her cheek gently, I can feel the warmness of her body immediately.

“NO!!”

I get surprised instantly as Elena is suddenly awake with her fear face. Her peaceful face has turned to fear face. Her breath is heard so heavy. She sits up and moves away immediately.

“Harry? What-.. what are you doing here?” She said under her breath, a bit afraid. It’s like she’s seeing me as a murderer.

“It’s okay, Elena! Everything… is fine.” I said, I tried as best as I could to calm her down.

[Let’s go to… no one’s POV!]

Second by second, Elena can breathe normally again. Harry’s still looking at her, waiting for her to calm.

“You’re not alone. I’m here for you, don’t be scared anymore, okay?”

Elena looks at him, he smiles at her. She can’t say anything but nods. “Thank you, Harry.”

“You’re welcome. Come on! You get to sleep again.”

Harry said as he tries to convince Elena. Then she lies down again and makes herself comfortable on the bed. He pulls up the cover over her.

“Harry… I can’t let you awake all night.”

It’s just Harry and Elena in the room, they both really don’t know that actually Zayn is at the door, peeking behind the door.

[Let’s go to Zayn’s POV, okay?]

I’m standing here. I was about to get in but suddenly something that I didn’t expect happens.

There’s something that punching my chest. My body’s weak. I clearly can feel that feeling. Why I don’t like it when Harry gets close to Elena. I thought that she was all mine every night. I actually always looked forward to that moment, where the only thing that matters is we both need each other even though only at night. Now that moment I guess is already stolen by my one of my bestfriends.

I can’t do anything at the time like this. I’m holding down my fist while I look down. My happiness with Elena is already over. No more spending time together. I should’ve told you, Elena. That should be me.

“Harry, Elena wake up!!”

Liam pulls away the curtains, let the sunlight shines Elena’s whole room. Harry tries to opens his eyes, as the light is really annoying him and forces him to wake up. He sits up and looks at Elena on his left side. She tries to wake up as well.

“Harry, I guess you need to prepare yourself…” Liam said.

“Alright.” He answers, immediately stands up and about to go to Elena’s bathroom.

“No Harry! In your own room.” Liam commands.

Harry sighs. “Yes, dad.”

He walks up to the door and closes the door on his way out.

“Good boy.” Liam muttered. Then his eyes are on Elena.

Elena feels like she knows her mistake. “I’m sorry. I’m late for breakfast again.” She looks down.

“It’s alright. I understand.” He smiles at her sweetly. He walks over to Elena and sits beside her. He sighs. “I’ve ordered your breakfast.”

Elena looks at Liam feeling guilty.

“It’s okay, Elena. Just try it next time, okay?” Liam smiles at her even sweeter.

“Oh. Liam. I will! I promise!” Elena said, cheerfully.

Bits of silence there.

“Liam..”

“Yes?” He turns to her.

“Why did it turn out that it was Harry who came to my room last night?”

Liam freezes, looking for a proper reason in his head. “Uhm…” She would know that he lied about the promise.

Elena keeps looking at him, waiting.

“Okay, you got me. I told him.” Liam finally admits.

Elena sighs. “I should’ve known.”

“But I did it because the other lads are your big brothers too. They need to know-.. wait!”

She turns to him immediately.

“Our scores are balanced! I broke my promise, you broke your promise too to wake up early today!” Liam looks at her cheerfully.

Elena’s thinking, he’s right. He’s always too right. “So I guess we can say that it’s no one’s fault.”

“Yes.” He said, being dramatic.

“But Liam…”

“What else?”

“I… honestly… expected that it was Zayn.” Elena looks at him, with her sad puppy face.

Liam looks at Elena, he instantly understands just by looking at her eyes.

“I didn’t know what I was feeling but I’m sure, I can say that I feel more comfortable with Zayn.” She said. “Even though he’s cocky, he’s arrogant to me at day, but he really cares about me at night. He’s there for me because he wants to protect me. Even I’ve had think that he’s hating me, but he still cares about me.”

Elena said those words like she just finds something that just lost. Liam can’t say anything but just listens to her at this time.

“I’m wondering, did he really come last night?”

Liam stutters, “uhh…” he shrugs his shoulders. “Nobody knows.”

[Bell rings]

“That must be your breakfast.” He said simply as he stands up and walks up to the door.

Then a breakfast man is coming and serves Elena’s foods on the night table beside her.

“Thank you.” Elena said nicely.

“You’re welcome.” He answered.

Then the guy left. Liam comes over.

So Elena eats her foods.

“Finish your foods quickly.” Liam commands.

Elena smiles at him. “Yes, dad.”

Suddenly Liam feels something in his chest. No no. In his tummy. Around his tummy. It hurts a little at first but it turns out getting worse. He turns around to avoid Elena noticing. He holds his chest as he feels the disease. He moans a bit, that makes Elena eventually notices.

“Liam?”

He doesn’t answer. He concentrates on his disease keeps getting worse.

“Aaarrgghh!!”

“Liam!”

Elena puts her foods back immediately on the night table and rushes to Liam.

“Liam what happens!?” She gets very panic as she holds Liam’s hand.
