~ Chapter 22: Slowly Tearing Apart ~

♣ Liam's POV: ♣

It's been about an hour since Gabby called, informing me that I would be the one to help out, not Harry. I would sing a duet with her, not Harry. I would win her a huge A+, not Harry. I will be the one spending time with her for this, not Harry.

And I would have to break the news to Harry. But I didn't know how. I don't think I have the heart to.

But after a while of thinking, I've come to a conclusion that perhaps I should break it to all the boys and not Harry individually. That way, he can't make a scene unless he wants to declare his love for Gabby to all the lads. I'm not sure if Louis already knows since he was the one to comfort him when he stomped out during dinner yesterday. And who knows? I mean Harry tells Lou everything and vice versa. They probably know each other's deepest, darkest secrets. Maybe even more than I know about them, and I'm Daddy Direction.

"Hey, Liam?" someone knocked on my door.

I snapped out of my thoughts and opened the door. "What's up?" I greeted Zayn.

"Well, Louis got us lunch, you should come downstairs and eat with all of us," he informed me. Ah perfect, I'll break the news then.

"Wait... Louis cooked?" I asked for clarification, getting a bit frightened. If Lou had anything to do with it, the kitchen would be a mess by now if not destroyed and/or on fire. Okay, now I should start panicking.

"He tried to but he gave up and ordered room service. We're having tacos," he laughed at my expression when I thought Louis had provided us with food. Thank the Lord for room service.

"Alright mate, let's go," I say, gesturing him to walk out first. I followed behind him and closed my door shut, suddenly nervous. I can't expect Harry to necessarily be happy, or take it calmly or not offensive in any way. I really hope he doesn't hate me, I don't want to lose our friendship. If we do, what would happen to the band?

When Zayn and I arrived to the kitchen, Niall was digging in the bag and pulling out 5 tacos.

"These are just my first ones, I'll want seconds," he winked, unwrapping one and stuffing it in his mouth. I smiled and rolled my eyes at the Irish cutie.

"Please your stomach if you need to, I made sure I ordered enough to feed 5 Nialls," Louis smirked and everyone's mouth dropped open in shock.

"LOUIS, WHAT THE HELL?" Zayn yelled. "HOW MANY TACOS DID YOU ORDER!?!?"

Louis burst out laughing. "Calm down, we only have enough to feed one Niall, a Louis, Zayn, Harry and Liam and one Eleanor," he smiled wide. Good, if he ordered enough to feed that many Nialls, the world would be lacking food in an entire population.

"Oh yeah, Eleanor said she'd be back at around 6, right?" I asked with a mouthful.

"That's right, Liam," he replied, snatching one of Niall's tacos. Nialler glared at him and stole another taco from the bag. There was a pause of silence and I got into a quick mental argument with myself as to whether or not to announce Gabby's news now or later.

I decided it should be time.

"Lads?" I call out, clearing my throat. Four heads turned to look at me. Too bad Harry didn't make breakfast this morning for us. That means he's not in a good mood and it'll make this job harder. "I have something to tell all of you."

"What is it?" Niall asked, revealing his taco ingredients when he spoke.

"Gabby called me recently," I began and instantly earned Harry's full attention, "She talked to her activities director at school about us singing with her."
