*Aracely’s POV*
Damn Liam's birthday is coming up and I still have to invite our guests. Hopefully everyone else is willing to help me with this and with not telling Liam about it. I really want to surprise my boyfriend. "What's wrong, babe?" Liam asked me. I must have looked frustrated or something. "Oh it's nothing.. it's just that Niall's being cranky." He seemed to believe that because Nialler has been very moody lately and none of us knows why. Not even Noemi. "Is he being all pissy with you, too?" Lili asked me, his brows furrowed in confusion. I half-smiled at my boyfriend, who was starting to get defensive, and said “Not directly… I’ve just noticed how he’s really moody with you, the boys, and even my best friend. And what’s worse is no one knows why.” Liam sighed and said “Let’s go out to get some ice cream” I smiled, happy that we weren’t going to talk about Niall’s sudden mood swing, and agreed. A sudden text from Noemi came in saying that Simon gave her a list of people he would take care of inviting to the party. The list of people included: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Robin Thicke, Bruno Mars, Drake, Jason Derulo, Jason Mraz, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Leroy Sanchez, Mariah Carey, Rihanna? Selena Gomez? Shakira, T.I., Usher, Will Smith, Jessie J, Leona Lewis, Ellie Goulding, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Sofia Vergara, Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Ellen, Channing Tatum, Gwen Stefani, Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Alex Pettifer, Ansel Elgort, Jennifer Lawrence, and Paul Walker. I smiled as I thanked her through text that she was able to get Simon’s help on this. Hopefully nothing goes wrong…
*Liam’s POV*
I know why Niall started acting up the way he is now. I feel the same way too. I just try not to show it so no one knows. I think Zayn, Louis, and Harry also feel the same way. I think everyone just tries to get along with each other for the paparazzi and fans. Little do they know what’s really going on… I was startled from my thoughts when my phone vibrated. It was Zayn. He demanded to know why Niall was always in a bad mood all of a sudden. I text him back ‘How the hell am I supposed to know?! Does it like I know!?’ gosh he was getting on my nerves. Aracely and I had gotten back from getting ice cream, and was in the shower. That gave me some time to let out all my anger. I hadn’t realized she took a quick shower so she saw me punching my bag that had my dirty clothes. “What’s going on, Lili?” she looked shocked and worried. I was shocked that she was out of her shower so quickly. “Uhh… I… uh… it’s nothing babe” I tried to play it cool but she didn’t believe me. “You better tell me the truth right now!!” she half yelled. I didn’t want to tell her how I really felt, but I didn’t want to lie to her anymore. I sighed and explained exactly how I was feeling. When I finished explaining, Aracely looked at me and she had a hurt look on her face and she looked like she wanted to cry. “How could you not tell me this? Why did you have to keep it a secret from ME?” my girlfriend said. Before I had the chance to explain, she yelled “I trusted you!!! How is it possible that you don’t trust me!?!!” and she told me to leave. Her parents were in their room so I didn’t want to make a scene and just left without trying to argue back. Never have I ever felt so defeated in my life. I knew it was wrong of me to not have told my own girlfriend about this. I just thought she would worry, but she always continues to surprise me.
*Noemi’s POV*
I was trying to figure out a way to entertain myself because the house was empty, when I heard a knock on my door. I checked through the window and was surprised to see Aracely who looked like she was crying. I immediately opened the door and let her in. Once the door was closed, I gave her a hug. When I hugged her, she started sobbing again. I didn’t question her and let her cry until she stopped. When she finally managed to stop crying, she was drying her eyes with her hand and said “Ohmigosh I’m so sorry. I probably ruined your shirt.” I half-smiled and said “it’s okay love. This is an old workout shirt anyways.” We were sitting on the couch when she told me what had happened earlier that day with Liam. Just like her, I was surprised that Liam didn’t tell her that from the beginning. I said “Maybe that’s why Niall has disappeared for a while now too.” My best friend looked at me with a confused look and I said “It’s been a week since Niall left. I don’t know where he went. Then a couple days ago, Harry and Arpi left too. But Harry and Arpi went separately. It seems like they were in an argument too. Have you heard from El or Perrie?” my best friend shook her head no and said “Why don’t you text El and I’ll text Perrie.” and right away we text the ladies the same text ‘How are you and _____?’ A minute later, I got a reply from Eleanor saying ‘I’m not sure but I think Louis and I broke up :’(’ I gasped at what I saw and showed Aracely the text. Then Aracely’s phone vibrated and she said “Perrie said ‘Zayn and I aren’t talking… I’ve tried talking to him, calling him, and texting him but he just ignores me. L why do you think that is?’” I looked at Aracely and I said “it’s up to you whether you want to tell her what Liam said” Aracely shook her head and said “no, that’s not my business. At least not why they’re all acting up.” and she started replying to Perrie, reading out loud what she was writing: ‘I’m sorry to hear that, love. Honestly I don’t know because Liam got mad today for no reason, and Noemi says Niall, Harry and Arpi all left separately. And Eleanor just text us saying that she thinks she and Louis broke up.’ Then I sent a group message to Arpi, Perrie and Eleanor saying ‘are you ladies busy or can you come over to my house right now?’ and Perrie replied right away saying ‘I’ll be there in 5’ A minute later El said ‘Ditto that’ and then Arpi said ‘I was just about to call you to see if I can come over. I’m on my way.” and we waited for the ladies to come. Ten minutes later, all us ladies were at my house, sitting on my couch and I had already offered them the lemonade I made earlier. When we were all comfortable, Aracely stands up and says “You know how I’m planning a surprise party for Liam?” and we all looked at her with confused faces and said “Yeah…..?” simultaneously “Well I think it should be not only Liam’s birthday celebration but also a way for the boys to see that they shouldn’t feel as though they don’t want to be part of One Direction” “They don’t WHAT?!!” Arpi yelled. Perrie said “What?” and Eleanor was too shocked to say anything. I looked at Aracely and nodded. She said “That’s what Liam told me today. Well I had to get it out of him because he wouldn’t tell me. I got him to tell me what he knew about why Niall was acting up. That was when he confessed that it was getting to be too much to handle and that he and the boys were getting tired of being in a band and that they wanted to split up.” “But they haven’t because of Simon. He would get pissed to the max if they do split up, and they know it” I added. Aracely just nodded. After that sunk in, Eleanor said “So how can we remind them of how well they are together?” “I was thinking of doing a slideshow video with pictures of them in the X-Factor days to make them see what they will miss out on if they split?” I suggested. Aracely looked thoughtful for a second, but then said “That is a great idea!!!” and Perrie said “But how are we going to get the pictures?” Arpi, Aracely, me, and even Eleanor looked at her while Arpi said “Directioners have their ways of finding things out! Trust, love” with a wink and we all laughed, except Perrie, who was a little confused. Arpi said “If you’re really dedicated to a celebrity, the way Directioners are, you’d know that they are capable of anything and everything. Trust me when I say Directioners would do anything to find “fetus” pictures of the boys. All we need to do is ask.” Perrie smiled and said “I don’t mean to sound conceited, but being in Little Mix, you mean to say that there are Mixers that would do anything to find anything about me?” as if she couldn’t believe it. We all smiled and Eleanor said “That’s right!” Now Perrie was smiling and said “Let’s do this!” and Perrie composed a tweet simply challenging Directioners to send us pictures of Fetus One Direction and in return we would follow them within a limited time. She suggested we use our private accounts to get people to send the pictures to our public accounts, and to NOT tag the boys because we didn’t want the boys to suspect anything. Five minutes later, our phones were vibrating from the many Directioners wanting to get our follows. We decided to have a girls’ night out since we still had to finish up the details of the party and we were all here. We decided to go to Massage Envy Spa. It was a perfect day, and surprisingly there were no paparazzi stalking us. After the spa, we went to Aracely’s house for a well-needed sleepover.
