Smile for me

Chapter 3

I'm Jacob, call me Jake. I'm writing this for Ri Ri. She asked me to do it. And if you have any questions. Just comment. And I will answer any of them

Liam's P.O.V

"That's my mum" I whispered in a low tone

"Oh my gosh Li" Peyton whispered

"Are you okay" Harry put his hand on my shoulder

I was surrounded by questions, asking if I was okay. It was annoying at first, but I realized that they were just looking after me

"I'm fine. It just came as a shock I guess" I tried to chuckle, but I was faced with tears instead

"Don't cry Li Li" Peyton tried to comfort me

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine, just upset I guess" I put on a fake smile, but it wasn't good enough. I was still crying, and I'm not even sure why. I mean sure I'm really sad about this, but I might be more mad at the fact that my dad didn't tell me

"Liam, don't worry. We get it, just cry" Louis reasoned

I couldn't hold it back any longer. I buried my face in my hands. I sobbed hard. I don't care if China heard me. I just needed to cry. I haven't had a break down since I was 14, and I'm 17. I felt myself being cuddled into someone's chest. I didn't care who it was, I just needed comfort

Zayn's P.O.V

I pulled Liam into my chest. He cried for what seemed like an hour. I hope he's alright. If I would've known it was his mum that was killed, I would've said I didn't know her name. I just feel so bad for him

He finally fell asleep. But after all that crying I would be tired too. I tried to put him on one of the air mattresses  that Louis set up for us, but he clung to me. Eventually, I realized that he wasn't gonna let go. So I laid down with him. Everyone was looking at me with a knowing look on their face. So yeah, I might have a tiny crush on him, but I don't think I could date him

Why you may ask, that's because I know we won't end up together on the future. I wouldn't want to ruin the friendship that we already have, and I'm sure her feels the same

"We have to take him to the basement" Peyton sighed

We all looked at her like she was crazy

"Are you nuts. We can't take him down there stupid. That place is fucking haunted, it might bring back memories of his mom, and I'm not afraid to admit that I'm scared. Oh and did I mention that place if fucking haunted" Joey whisper yelled

"Yeah, and there's no way Principal Cottle will let us do that" Louis tried reasoning with her

"No, we sneak in. At night. Tonight" Peyton whispered

"I'm telling mom" Joey complained

"I think it's a good idea" Harry smiled that smile that always made Louis agree to anything

"Then again, it might be good for him" Louis said. Joey just rolled his eyes

"How about you Zayn. You in" Peyton asked crossing her arms over her chest. Peyton is nice, when she wants to be. I mean, I beat her at a game of chess. She came back with one of those wooden baseball bats and beat me senseless
