Best Friend's Brother- a liam payne fanfic

Chapter Six

LIAM POV

After I dropped Kaitlyn off in her room, I walked down the hall to my room. I shuit the door behind me and switched the light on. I jumped when I found Zayn sitting on my bed. "What the hell, bro?" I asked.

"I wanted to talk to you."

"About?"

"About you. You seem different lately. And I think I know why."

"All right? And what would be the reason exactly?"

"Kaitlyn."

I didn't think he'd figure it out so soon. I decided to try and play it off. "Kaitlyn?"

"Yes. You act different around her. You don't treat her like a little sister."

"That's because she isn't." I stated the obvious.

"But being Anna'z best friend, it should feel as if she was a little sister figure, am I right?"

"What are you getting at, Zayn?"

"Liam, I may have been in my room all evening, but I do have a window," he said. Shit. "I saw you and Kaitlyn having a moonlight picnic or something. And then I saw you lead her into the forest, so I assume you lead her to her death. Or you fucked her."

"Zayn!" I scolded quietly. "I didn't fuck her, you bastard. Do you remember that tree house I told you about?"

"The one you and your dad built?"

"Yeah," I paused. I showed it to her." 

"Really? You never even showed me. You must really like her."

"I think I might."

"Its about damn time. You need someone like her in your life. She strong, for the most part, but with what she is going through with her parents, she may need a bit more support. She's Smart. Athletic. And how she looks in that volleyball uniform-"

"Hey, stop." I warned.

"Sorry. So what did you two do?"

"That is a story that will be saved for another time. Its late and I'm tired."

"Fine," Zayn sighed. He got up and walked out of my room, not pressing further about my night. After he shut the door, I stripped down into my boxers and got into bed. I thought about Kaitlyn. I thought about how good it felt to hold her while we gazed up at the stars. I was in love with this feeling. That feeling I've never felt before. Possibly in love with her. "No." I whispered out loud before I drifted off to sleep.

KAITLYN POV

I woke up the next morning feeling happy and joyful. I slipped out of bed and showered. After I dried off, I got dressed and put on my Brandy Melville high waisted denim shorts, a stripped crop top (I have a thing for crop tops), and my amethyst crystal necklace. After I put on my white vans, I checked my phone. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I dialled my moms number, and with my luck, she answered, "Hello?"

"Hi, mom. Whats going on?"

"Hi, sweetie! Nothing really. Just gathering some papers before I leave for work."

"So you are at home? What about Dad? Is he there? Can I talk to him?"

"He was here, but he left, so if you want to talk to him, you will have to contact him yourself. He left maybe an hour ago. The man can't even make his coffee without saying some smart ass remark to me."

"Have you ever thought that maybe it isn't all him? That its both of you? Maybe if you two just sit down and try to talk to each other. You know, work it out-"
