Chapter 10
--Yasmine's P.O.V--
It's what I needed I knew it. A few days away from Tyler and everything that has happened. We were currently driving to Devon. Just me, the boys, El and Layla. Nearly everyone was asleep now, just Liam and me awake. We talked for a while, but then I just needed some space. I looked out of the window to see the spur of blueness that is the sky. My hair flapping against the wind. I stared motionlessly at the beautiful scenery and just fell into deep thought. Suddenly my eyes felt heavy and before I knew it I fell into a long nap...
"Cause I've found someone to carry me home tonight" the boy finished the last line we all cheered and compliments were given to the 5 most talented boys I've ever known. It was around 11 and since everyone had got their sleep on the way to Devon, we decided to have a campfire. The boys sang songs in harmony whilst Niall played his guitar. It was beautiful here, completely different from London and New York. It was more calm and relaxing. I instantly felt better from yesterday, all was forgotten. Of course Tyler had called me a few times and also sent a few 'sorry' texts. But I didn't care now,it was 'me' time. No need to worry about boys, feelings, anything. I was just sitting near a fire roasting marshmallows and listening to the boys sing. Chilling with those who I loved. I can't deny, I felt great.
***incoming call***
Dad
Why is he calling me now? We try to avoid talking to each other as much as possible. Our relationship has been rocky ever since he got re-married. Things just changed, he just changed. And not only him, but his opinions, seems like he always disapproves everything I do. He's not my 'dad' he's my 'father'. Knowing that I couldn't reject his call i excused myself from the fire and clicked 'accept'
I cleared my throat and put the phone to my ear "Hello?"
"Yasmine! How are you?" he asked eagerly
"I'm good"
"Good, I just wanted to let you know that Maggie and I are going to France on the 18th,and we'd thought we'd stop by London just to see how you are."
"18th of this month?"
"Of course silly!"
"Oh, don't you have anything else that day?"
"No, Maggie thought we needed some time together, especially since we've both been so busy at work! But it's okay, we'll spend the week at France." He said in a cheery tone.
Of course, Maggie was up to this, who else? Who else would want Dad to herself on that day? And dad? Acting like the 18th of June means nothing to him? Well, I guess he really does care (!)
"Yasmine, are you there?"
"Hmm"
"So Lunch sounds fine?"
All of a sudden anger raged all over me. How can i happily have Lunch with Maggie and Dad on that day? How? He completely forgot. The day our lives changed forever. The day that i will never forget. The day i lost my beautiful mother.
"NO LUNCH DOES NOT SOUND FINE! HOW CAN IT? YOU COMPLETELY FORGOT! HOW? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED MUM! AND THEN ON HER DEATH ANNIVERSARY YOU WANT ME TO GO OUT TO LUNCH WITH YOU AND YOUR NEW WIFE! HOW DAD? HOW?" And with that i threw my phone onto the floor not caring what damage it did. How could dad be so careless? I know he loves her, or did. But why? Since the day she died, he acted like she never existed. I never would've known my mother if it weren't for her family. I just wished that dad would care, for anyone who's not Maggie.
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stood out looking at the moonlight. I was standing on the porch of the beach house. The others were at the backyard. I gripped on to the wood digging my nails into it, taking my anger out on the wood. Why? I just don't understand. How can you love someone so much and then one day just let it all go?
I just let all the anger. Why does he always do this? I just hate him, why? All he cares about is his new wife. What about Mum? What about me? He forgot Mum, in a blink of a second, but, I can never forget her. I didn’t know her, and i was only 2 but my mum's family never made me feel like she was gone. They talked about her, showed pictures and never acted like she never existed. Quit contrary to my dad, who threw away all her stuff, never talked about her and just acted like she was no-one.
"Yasmine, are you okay?"
I turn around to see Liam standing there furrowing his eyebrows and his lips are turned into a frown. I say nothing and just stand there, not knowing what to say. Suddenly i come to realise what's happening. I attempt to wipe away the stray of tears before he sees them
"Um, nothing"
"Yaz, I saw you, Is something wrong..you can tell me"
"Nothing, everything’s fine!" I attempt to lighten up the mood with a fake smile. That's what you do, pretend everything's fine. Some people think my life's perfect, but they don't know. My life's far from perfect. Like everyone I do have problems, but I don't broadcast them. I keep them to myself. Never trust anyone; that’s my motto. You give someone your all, and then your left with nothing. I know..keeping your feelings bottled up doesn't hurt, but at least you can pretend everything's fine. With a fake smile and a few lies, you seem happy, but all you’re doing is lying to yourself. I guess I don't know how to feel. All my life, my dad's been like this, then why am I surprised now? I don't think i can do this..i burst into tears cursing myself for showing my emotions; weakness in front of Liam. I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm tired of feeling like this. Sometimes you gotta’ be weak to be strong.
He steps forward and wipes my tears away. His warm hand touching my cold face. A spark went through my body in a bolt. What? Spark? No..must've been the warmth of his fingers. Spark..what am I a 13 year old on her first date?
"Shh, It's okay" And with those three words I clinged onto his neck and told him everything. He listened intently, carefully rubbing his hand on my back soothingly. I stopped crying eventually but Liam was still holding me. I don't know why, but it felt good. The way our bodies touched. It felt so right to be togeth- Er, what the heck? Why am I thinking like this? Liam's just a good friend, who comforted me. Yaz ,pull yourself together.
I pulled back from the hug reluctantly. As I looked down i saw Liam still had his hands entwined in mine...I looked at him to see him staring at me. His brown eyes mesmerized my gaze. Why was he so beautiful, his eyes, his hair, his lips... Yasmine! Okay this is really weird, you're friends! Why are you being like this? You need to stop feeli-
"Yasmine, even when you cry, you still manage to look beautiful." And without another pause he leaned in and kissed me. It was slow and gentle but felt so right. His hands rested on my small waist, and my hands were holding his arms, awkwardly. I don't know how I felt, it was a shock, but I liked it. Not only the kiss, but I think him..I like Liam James Payne. He has a girlfriend, I have a boyfriend. He's my cousin band mate. And most of all, he's Liam James Payne. Something told me that kissing him was wrong I ignored the voice in my head and put my arms around his neck. Making the Kiss deeper, who cares? It's just a kiss.
A/N : Okayyy, so the kissing bit was kinda awkward..not really good with these err,physical effection bit,but hope that can paint a picture for you, lool :P Anyways,byeeeeee!
