Chapter 12 - Lies over Lies

"Come again?" Liam asked. Niall dropped his bag on one of the chairs and sighed loudly. "I got fired today.''. Louis widened his eyes and sat up. ''They said that since I was the person who was in the staff room on the day of the break-in ... I'm the prime suspect.'', he explained.
