One Little Chance

Chapter 5

A/N So I'm at school writing this. The things I do for you lovely people. ❤ Yes, I still feel worthless and shiz. But it doesn't mean that it's going to stop me from writing. I promised Liam I wouldn't harm myself. And I want to keep it, but I don't know anymore. I might break my promise. Sorry if you guys think it's sucky. My funk is just getting worse and worse everyday. Sorry. xx

I laid there, everything still a blur. The tears were so close strolling down my cheeks, but I blinked them away. 

Niall helped me up as he brought me into a hug. 

"Sh…it's fine." He whispers as I pulled away. 

I looked back at the smirking girl. 

"Why did…what did I ever do to you!?" I screamed as the tears slowly strolled down my cheeks. 

Abby pulled on my hair as Brooke pushed Niall away from me. 

"Don't you ever, ever, talk to Liam again." She growls lowly into my ear. She pushed me back onto the pavement, and smirked. 

I just got up and tried to walk away with Niall. But two strong arms pulled me into a hug.

"If you guys ever say anything again to Crystal, be prepared for the worst." I hear Liam growl.

I looked up to see him smiling at me. Niall smiled weakly at me too, but Liam pulled me close and whispered, "It's alright love. I'm here for you." 

I smiled at him as we slowly walked away from the two dumbfounded girls. 

****

Louis pulled me into a warm embrace as I cried softly to myself. "Sh…" I hear him whisper. 

I can feel his heartbeat accelerate, and his shivering body cover me with warmth. 

"B-but, t-they-" I stuttered, but got cut of by Louis. 

"But nothing. If they said it was coming….screw it." 

"But they're right!" I protested. 

"No. Don't think that." He argued. I looked up at him to see his blue eyes covered with tears. His lips began to shiver as he slowly masked his hurt feelings into a fake smile. 

I putted on a fake smile too, also to mask my feelings. 

The patter of footsteps neared us as I looked over at the small girls. Their eyes were filled with tears, but their smile told otherwise. 

"Crissy!" They all scream as they gave me a hug. 

I laughed as we stayed like this for minutes. 

*****

I sat here alone, rethinking every word that can come play into my mind. 

These four walls covered my thoughts. Everything inside it, stayed inside. 

'I was sick' would've been the most used answer. Maybe I should just tell everyone about me. Or I shouldn't. 

What about telling my teachers, 'I'm going on vacation for a couple of days?' 

No. That'll never work. If my brother is at school, they would at least expect me to go with him. What should I do? Everyone thought of me as the nerd 'dating' the jock. 

Liam. 

He was more of a nerd himself. I love him with all my heart, but with his looks, I know I can't stand a chance. Besides, when I leave and we do get together, which is impossible, what would he even say or think!?

Those words replayed in my mind.

"It's on it's 4th stage" 

4. Near to 5. 

My phone beeped and I saw Liam's name on my screen. A smile peeped on the surface of my face as I thought about him. 

"Hi." I said. 

All I heard was panting on the other end of the line. "We have a biology quiz tomorrow." 

Then, the line went dead. 

A damn quiz again!? After all the drama and shit I'm going through right now, a quiz has to be on of the worst things! 

Other than the news. 

I got up from the bed and took out my biology book. 

Hours and hours, I sat here, studying about biology. 

When the clock struck 12, I passed out, out into my dream world and out of stressful reality. 

*****

My head laid peacefully on the mountain of grass as I watched the clouds come and go. 

"What did you get on your pop quiz?" I hear Liam asked. I turned my head to face him as tears started to stroll down. 

"What?" Liam asked, a tone of panic in his voice. 

"I got a C." I answered softly. 

His eyes turned from panic to sorrow in just a couple of seconds. 

"At least you passed." Was all he could respond to me.

"At least?! I barely failed! Nonetheless, I actually did!" I panicked. 

"No you didn't."

"My mum was expecting me to get an A at least! What, what if she finds out that I failed?" The panicky emotions coming out. 

"It was unexpected. I know she'll understand." He says as he caressed my arm softly. 

"But I failed." I argued. 

"Failed or passed, your mum is always going to love you. No matter what. Ok love?" He says. 

I passed him a fake smile as I nodded silently. 

"Don't give me a fake smile. I want to see a real one." He says. I rolled my eyes as he leaned in….

Cliffhanger! So, has anyone guess Crystal's illness yet? Ohh!! And I got some exciting news for you guys!!! :D
