Chapter 11: Speak

~~~~~Back stage~~~

"Hey, Liam where're we off to next?" Niall asked Liam as he took a gulp from a water bottle. The two of them were the first to arrive at the musician's room. They had just finished performing in Chicago.

"Minnesota." Liam told him without emotion, just like a robot spiting out information. Liam walked over to the couch that was up against the wall facing the entrance of the room. In the hall way you could hear Louis's voice yelling something you couldn't understand. The door was open so they saw a golf cart flashed by the entrance and Zayn and Louis were on it laughing hysterically. The laughing ended a few seconds before a crash.

"Should we be worried?" Liam lifted his eyebrow as he looked over at Niall who was on his phone.

"Huh? Oh, nah. They're security's problem now. Anyway, isn't that where Harry's girlfriend is from?" Niall asked naively. Niall continued looking at his phone as he scrolled on something.

"She's not his girlfriend..." Liam immediately corrected him then realized it sounded like he cared too much. Niall looked up at him when he got corrected.

"..well, at least it's not official yet anyways." Liam finished as he opened a water bottle and took a long drink. Niall lifted an eyebrow at his behavior.

"Well, it's official enough to make the fans hate her!" Niall quickly flashed him his Twitter. Liam snatched his phone from his grasp and started scrolling through Twitter.

Niall grew a smirk. Liam hadn't noticed, he was in his own little world.

"You like Claudia!" Niall concluded as he grew a goofy grin.

"You lied to me!"Liam told him trying to change the subject. He got off the couch and closed the door, hoping no one would hear.

"Yeah! To see if you cared! You clearly do,"Niall snatched his phone back. The two of them went back on the couch.

"You should just move on, otherwise Harry will threat you with spoons to back off!" Niall couldn't contained his laugh at the thought of Harry chasing Liam with a spoon cross, yelling "Myyyyy Claudia!" in the tone of that creepy guy from Lord of the Rings (My precious...)

"I just can't..." Liam quietly told him, he was so quiet Niall almost thought he imagined Liam speaking.

"Why not? There are plenty of fish in the sea! Besides didn't you go on a date with a Maria or somethnig?" Niall tried remembering the name of the girl.

"It's Meridith." Liam corrected Niall but he still had a sad tone in his voice.

Harry came from the restroom; he was about to turn the knob of the door when he heard:

"..why do you want to be with Claudia anyways?" Niall asked. His voice sounded a bit muffled from behind the door where Harry was listening.

"You know why, I just feel like we're meant to be." Liam told him in a serious tone. There was silence for a few seconds then Niall burst out laughing.

"Dude! That's the worst, and most cliche excuse ever!" EXACTLY! Harry thought as he continued listening.

"Well, think about it: first I "coincidentally" call her on her phone. Second, I see her at a fashion show, where if she hadn't left so early we could've met in person. Then after I get her phone number again, we end up really getting along! Like really, really, getting along!"

"Getting along doesn't mean you're meant to be Liam!" Harry burst in. The two lads were on a couch talking when both of them looked at Harry with wide eyes.

"Were you listening to our conversation?!" Liam demanded.

"Why were you talking about Claudia?!" Harry demanded. Liam got up and glared at him.
