Triangles (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 10- A Different Girl

"Who do you want to go with?" Harry asked turning around to face Sam, walking backwards.

"W-what?" She shuddered. She didn't care. She just wanted to go home.

"Who do you want to go with?" Harry asked again. They all stopped in front of their cars waiting for her answer.

"Well you can't go with me. My mom's still in there talking to your mom," Zayn had said. "Actually, I should probably head back in there." He reached out and gave Sam a hug. They watched Zayn go back in the hospital. They waited a couple seconds to hear her answer.

"Uh, it really doesn't matter guys," she said with frustration.

"Well, you're gonna have to choose one to get home," Harry mentioned. Sam looked down at the pavement then closed her eyes.

"Liam. I'll go with Liam," she opened her eyes and sighed, frowning. Liam made a little smirk thinking she picked him instead of Niall. Harry looked down at his hands as Niall looked down biting his lip. They looked up at each other as Harry changed his excretion so Niall wouldn't get any ideas. All four walked to their rides. Sam slowly got in the car as did Liam. He started the engine and slapped his hands on the steering wheel. He took in a huge breath.

"How long?" Sam blurted out. She didn't mean to, it just came out.

"How long what?" Liam asked nervously. He looked straight through the window not looking at Sam.

Well since you ask you're going to have to ask again.

She gulped. She felt a quick butterfly fly through her stomach. "How long have you liked me?"

Liam's eyes widened. His face became pail, and he couldn't breathe. He scrolled his eyes around the car thinking up an answer. "What do you mean like? I've liked you as a friend forever."

Yeah, that didn't save him.

"No! You know what I mean!" Sam couldn't help her anger. She didn't mean to shout or be mad at him. Just, her dad just died and she thought she was having her period this week so, you know, hormones.

Just what Liam was afraid of. Oh shit. I knew she'd be mad.

He turned to look at Sam in his seat. "Sam I..."

"No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. Honestly. I get why you didn't tell me. You were afraid of me getting mad because of what happened between me and Harry," she stopped there waiting for his answer. She finally looked up at him.

"You got, um, half of it right." Sam lifted an eyebrow. What other half was there? "I was afraid, and I didn't know how you would take it, but, I'm in a bit of a dilemma."

Sam made an "O" with her mouth trying to make the word "what" slip out. It never came.

Liam shook his head, laughed a little, and rolled his eyes. "Danielle," is all he said.

Sam knew Danielle from her dance class and from gym. Danielle was an amazing dancer. She had big, brown, gorgeous hair that bounced whenever she walked. A thought came to her that he had feelings for her, too.

"You, also like, Danielle?" She asked a bit shocked. She felt... Cheated on, in a way, I guess. She thought he only liked her.

He nodded. "I've liked her for a while, but, I also liked you a little before, but after I realized you started having feelings for Niall and that kiss with Harry, I started thinking about Danielle a little more." He licked his lips to go on. "Also, I realized that if you love someone but you fall for another, you chase after the second person, because if you really loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen for the second."

Sam had to let that sink in a little. Then she realized what he meant. She tried stretching her lips for a smile but her face felt like it was about to crack from all her crying. "So, that means you like Danielle and not me anymore?"

Liam took his hands off the wheel again and sat back. "Yeah. I think so. No offence," he finished.

"Hmm, none taken," she now smiled fully across her face at him.

"Let’s get you home so you can cry more," he said. Sam punched him in the shoulder making a serious face.

"That wasn't called for at the moment."

"To soon?" He asked making a puppy dog face. He kinda did look like a puppy. She chuckled then they went on fully laughing. The kind of laugh where your gut hurt after. She needed that. She got her friend back.

"Now let’s get you home." He finally drove out of the parking lot.

One down, one to go.
