Chapter 2:
Liam's POV-
I woke up in a haze. Niall was still asleep on my lap. I checked my phone for the time. It was 8:30. And I had at least 10 missed calls from Erin. It took me a minute to realize what had happened. I slept through our date. And I couldn't call and explain anything to Erin because I would wake up Nialler. So I just had to sit and wait. It was pure torture because I knew how upset she was, but 30 minutes later, Niall finally woke up. "What did I miss?" he said with a big yawn. "Not much, sleeping beauty, but I missed my date," I replied. "What?? Did I keep you? I'm so sorry. Oh you must hate me right now. Oh I'm just a terrible person. Why would this wor-" "Hush," I interrupted him. "You didn't keep me, I fell asleep. But I do need you to get up so I can call Erin." He slowly got up, still groggy from his nap, and wandered into the kitchen. Getting food. Of course. I picked up the phone and took a deep breath before dialing Erin's number. "Hello?" she picked up on the second ring. "Hey babe, it's Liam." "I know who it is, I have caller ID." She was upset. I could tell. "I know, I know." "Where were you? I've been sitting outside my house for 2 hours." "Wait a second, you're still waiting? I thought for sure that you would have given up on me..." "I could never give up on you. I knew you probably just got hung up with something. So I waited." She was beyond words. I loved her so much. "Thank you," I said. "For not giving up on me. I was just watching a movie with Niall and we both fell asleep. I forgot to set an alarm. I'm so sorry." "Toy Story?" she asked. I could tell she was smiling now. "Of course," I replied. "How's about I make it up to you? Tomorrow night?" She hesitated. "Okay. I'll give you a second chance, I suppose." "Okay, same time. I'll pick you up, okay?" "Okay." "I won't let you down. And Erin? I love you. Don't forget that." "I love you too," she replied and hung up. I did mean it. I loved her. And I would make it up to her. Tomorrow night would be the best night of her life.
