Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 9

"So, you still dating that Liam dude? I was so sure you'd have fallen for Niall by now. Don't worry, you'll fall for him soon," Jake said over skype.

"UGH, NO, EWWW!" I exclaimed.

"Jake? Who is that?" I heard a female voice asked. The girl I told him to ask out came in. "Who's that?" she asked pointing to me, well the computer screen.

"That's my best friend. She's the one who told me I should ask you out," he told her.

"Aren't I just the best matchmaker ever?" I said.

"I would deny it, but the proof of that is right next to me," he smiled at te girl.

"Awww! Isn't that just the cutest thing ever," I cooed.

"Kyna, we should go down for breakfast now," Liam said.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later Jake," I ended the call.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wanna go on a date today? We don't have a concert until tonight," Liam said, downstairs in the hotel where we ate breakfast.

"I'd lo-" I started. "Of course Liam boo!" Kara exclaimed.

"Kara, I was asking Kyna," Liam said. The anger and disbelief on Kara's face made all the boys burst into laughter.

"So where are we going on our date?" Louis asked Liam.

"Louis, I wasn't talking to you either," Liam sighed.

"I thought I told you to back off my man!" I told Louis.

"You wanna go?" he asked

"Bring it," I smirked.

"Guys, stop," Liam said.

"You're no fun," i pouted.

"Don't worry babe, he's just jealous at how madly in love we are!" Louis said, pulling me into him.

"Hey! You have your own girlfriend!" Liam exclaimed, pulling me into him. Louis pouted.

I laughed, "Don't fret Lou, you'll always be the one I really yearn for."

"Alright," Liam cut in, "So where do you wanna go for our date? There are a lot of things in NYC."

"Let's go to Central Park," I said.

"Alright! Let's go!" Louis exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, Louis, I'm dumping you," I told him, linking my arm into Liam's. Louis' mouth dropped open, and we all burst out laughing. "It's not me, it's Liam," I told him. I turned to Liam, "So are we just walking there?" I asked. Liam nodded, "Let's go then!" I exclaimed.

"Fine! i don't need you anyways!" Louis yelled after us. I threw my head back in laughter, "I love you Lou!" I called after me.

"Yeah, whatever!" he huffed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We sat in the park eating McDonalds. "Kyna? What did Niall do that made you hate him so much?" he asked.

I pursed my lips, "We were best friends, until we hit year 6 that is. He became friends with some of the popular kids. They picked on me because I was overweight at that time. They peer pressured Niall into doing it too. Soon enough, he became the ring leader, and the lead of all the insults. I kinda cracked one day, and threw a coke at him, I got suspended. We moved a few years later because of my dad's job. And, that was the end of that," I finished the story of me and Niall.

"Wow, no wonder you hated him," Liam said.

I got a call on my cell phone, wait when did I have an American phone? I raised an eyebrow at Liam. He gave an innocent shrug. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Alright! I secretly bought you a phone! Stop glaring at me like that, it's scary! I think you should answer your phone," he said.

"Hello?" I said.

"Kyna, it's Niall. You have to come back. It's important."

"If you think getting a coffee is im-"

"Kyna, it's completely irrelevant to the slave, please it's really important!" Niall pleaded.

"Niall nothing is so important that I have to come back," I sighed.

"Fine, I hate to tell you like this, I really do, but you need to know as soon as possible-"

"Cut to the chase Niall!" I exclaimed.

"Your mum's cancer is back," his voice cracked at the end. I froze, it can't be. I didn't even think, and started running back to the hotel, the tears streaming down my face.

"Kyna! What's wrong?!" Liam started running after me. I didn't respond. Please, let this be a joke. But, even I knew Niall wouldn't joke about something so serious. My mum's cancer was really back. I bit my lip to hold back even more tears, and started sprinting even faster. No, no, no! Why was life so cruel?!
