Haim Fan Fiction- Never Look Back, Never Give Up

Chapter 10~ I Never Wanna See You Again

"John?!"

"Yeah, thats his name! What's up with you guys, you look horrified!"

"Alana, you can't talk to that guy, you can't be with that guy, you can't go anywhere near that guy do you hear me?" Este said.

"Yeah sure whatever, I don't know why you hate him so much when you haven't even met him yet!" Alana said. She starts to walk away but Danielle grabs her by her arm and turns her around.

"Alana, John is the guy who kidnapped us. He made our life hell. And you expect us to not be concerned about you? Do you promise not to even go near or even think about him?"

"Oh my god, I am so sorry! I didn't know! Oh I feel so bad I'm so sorry!" Alana said, with a shocked expression on her face.

"You have to tell Alice and your friends to do the same ok? We don't want them getting hurt either" Este said.

The atmosphere in the room was tense. We never knew that this would happen, John using Alana and her friends. As a target. No this can't be happening.

"Guys I promise! I'll tell them tomorrow and we will all move on from this. I feel so bad right now, it's all my fault!" Alana said, her face flustered and tears rolling down her cheeks.

"No, no. You didn't know," Danielle said, hugging Alana. "Now go and get changed, we're taking you to the beach!"

"But guys, isn't it best if you stay inside? You're only gonna make yourselves be in danger again!" Alana persists

Este laughs softly. "Don't worry Lanz, we'll be fine. It will take our minds off of it more than anything. Now go!" She points to the stairs and Alana runs up to her room.

Donna and Moti had already gone out somewhere so Danielle, Este and Alana were alone for the afternoon and maybe overnight.

Danielle's POV

"Hey Danielle, what's the difference between a you and a troll?" Alana slurred.

"What?" I say, slightly tipsy myself but not as drunk as Alana.

"A troll has a boyfriend and you will never have one! Or should I say, girlfriend"

"Lanz that makes no sense, now hurry up with your drink" I say, trying to sound serious.

"What's the rush?" Alana says, smirking.

"Never mind, I'm off to find Este" I say, giving myself an excuse to not be Alanas only chat buddie for the night.

I get off of my chair and wander around the club, bumping into people here and there but not seeing any sign of Este. The music is loud and the bass fills my body with every beat. The atmosphere is amazing. Lights of different colours flash before my eyes, momentarily blurring my vision. Right now I'm letting go. Letting go of the past. I'm moving on. John is the last person I want to encounter and it will stay like that.

"Excuse me, can I buy you a drink?" A low, almost reassuring voice said.

I turn around to find a tall man with chocolate brown eyes and short spikey hair. He's wearing a black buttoned shirt with a charcoal black leather jacket that suits him so well, it makes me think if he's actually real.

"Um hey, you okay there?" I hear him say with a smile.

I snap out of my thoughts and reply "oh yeah, sure"

He laughs at my awkwardness and we walk over to the bar. The leather mixed with a Hugo Boss cologne lingers as we reach the bar. Mixed with the alcohol in my system, he entices me. He interests me.

"So, what's your name beautiful?" He asks, leaning on the counter looking at me intently.

"Danielle" I say shyly, brushing a strand of hair from my face.

"I love that name," he takes a drink from the bartender and pushes it towards me. "Try that." He exclaims.

I take a sip of the drink.

"Strawberry?" I ask, subtly licking my lips.

"And?" He persists.

I take another sip.

"Mmm, vodka?"

"There we go!" He says, smirking.

I laugh, liking this guy already. You can tell that he is experienced with 'getting to know' girls. I don't know why but, he seems confident.

"So, Danielle, do you have any interesting hobbies? Please don't tell me 'I love knitting and feeding my cat'" He says, his charm going straight through me and into my bloodstream.

"I'm a singer and a guitarist in a band, we are known in Cali but not anywhere else."

"Oh wow, I'm impressed. I should drop by sometime. Put flyers out and I'll be sure to see your shows" he says, sounding interested.

"Thank you, I'll keep that in mind,"

Wow I'm so bland.

A few minutes go by as we take in our surroundings, almost finishing both of our drinks. We exchange looks, hints. I actually think he's the one. The silence isn't awkward at all, it's like I've known him all of this time. His face is defined. The creases around his mouth when he smiles. The small, faded whiskers around his eyes. His warm eyes.

He looks familiar. I'm too tipsy and on top of the world to realise. And then I realise.

"So, I never asked, what's your name?" I ask.

"Haha, my names Liam. Pretty lame but I can't change it I suppose" he says, shrugging.

"Do you have any siblings?" I ask. At this point, I can tell he's surprised by how many questions I'm asking but he goes with it.

"Yeah, I have a brother. His names John."
