Between Boys (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 15: Good news, Bad news

Harry opens the door to their hotel room before I even get the chance to knock. 

"What's going on?" I ask as I enter the room.

"Zayn's freaking out..." he says glancing over over at his seemingly irritated friend, sitting on his bed with the other boys around him. "He's been getting stalker text messages from some girl, we don't know who she is but she knows where he is and what he's doing all the time..."

"Is she dangerous?" I become worried.

"We don't think so, but who knows who she is! I wonder what she wants..." 

"Anything!" Zayn bursts. "Anything, as long as she stops following me around!" 

I notice that Louis is the only one who hasn't made any eye contact with me yet. He knows that I'm aware of what he told Eleanor last night, I'm sure he hasn't told the boys yet, otherwise Liam and/or Niall would have called me. I observe his face a little bit and can't help noticing that his eyes are a little swollen and red, similar to Eleanor's eyes this morning. Could he have possibly cried last night as well? I'm really going to have to figure things out with these boys, but for now, we need to find Zayn's stalker.

"Can I see your phone?" I ask holding my hand out to Zayn. Liam takes his phone and gives it to me and I start to read some of the texts...

From 310-***-****

Mango blast smoothie huh? My favorite - C. x 

Tell the barber not to cut too much off the top love! - C. x

I can see you! hahaha! - C. x

Who's that girl you're talking to Zayn? She's very pretty... - C. x

I love those Vans you're wearing... Where'd you get them, babe? - C. x

And there were many more where that came from... 

"What does the 'C' stand for?" I asking handing the phone back over to Liam. "We don't know," answers Niall. "We do know that this girl has some real problems. Do you know anybody around here who's name starts with a 'C'?"

I think back for a moment...

"Well, I do know this one girl, she extremely nice. Her name is Christina... Now that I think of it," I turn to Liam, "Christina was the girl who wanted to take a picture with you and I while we were out on a date." Liam slightly blushes when I mention the word date. "It can't be her though..."

Suddenly, I get an idea.

"Wait, what if I were to call the number on my phone? If it's Christina, she'd definitely recognize my voice..."

"Brilliant!" exclaims Liam as he smiles at me widely. I notice a sudden wave of jealousy on Niall's face as Liam spoke to me. He quickly changes his expression, probably hoping that nobody saw, but I did.

It makes me sad to see him hide his feelings for me because he knows that Liam likes me too... He's trying to be the best friend he can possibly be and I admire that in him. It's very hard for me  as well because I love them both so much, I don't know what to do...

I take out my BlackBerry and dial the number from which Zayn is receiving texts.

ring.... ring.... ring.... 

I hang up. "There's no response..."

We called several other times and it was no use, I guess I'll just have to confront Christina somehow... not that I believe she's stalking Zayn.
