Through The Dark (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 57 -- The Surprising Call

Winnie's P.O.V.

"You guys are so stupid." I laughed as I tried to slip on one of my t-shirts. Louis decided it would be pretty funny to shrink my clothes in the wash, so now everything is tight on me. "You guys make me feel like I'm really fat."

"Awww poor Winnie. No more cocoa puffs or poptarts for you." Zayn said and patted my head.

"Looks like someone needs to be on a diet." Niall laughed.

"Literally, all my shirts are crop tops now. Thanks jerk." I said to Louis.

"No problem my dear." he said and leaned down down to kiss my cheek.

"Ahhhh! I've been infected! I'm going to have cooties!" I shrieked.

"Winnie, what are you screaming about now?" Liam asked as he entered the room.

"Well, your so called friends decided to shrink my clothes and make me feel like a total fatty." I said.

"Winnie, you're not fat, but you do look pretty funny." Liam said as he kissed my forehead.

"Screw you." I said and walked to the couch to grab my ringing phone.

"Ahh oh my goodness." I said before I answered the phone. "Hey Uncle Nate!"

"Hello my darling, how are you?" he asked.

"I'm great! How are you?" I asked in excitement.

"I'm marvelous. I actually have some great news." he said.

"What's that??" I asked.

"I'm getting married!" he said.

"You are?! Congrats! When's the wedding?" I asked.

"Well see the thing is, Meredith and I have been engaged for several months, and I guess it just slipped my mind to tell you. Anyways, the wedding is this weekend, so I'm hoping you can fly out on the next flight to Michigan." he said.

"Uncle Nate, of course I will!" I said. "I can't wait to see you!"

"Good, because I already booked your flight. You leave in three hours." he said.

"Okay, can't wait to see you and Mer!" I said. "Love you. Bye."

"Bye pooh bear." he said and then hung up.

"What's up Win?" Liam asked.

"Uncle Nate is getting married this weekend, and he booked a flight for me that leaves in three hours." I said.

"You're leaving us?" Niall asked.

"Guys, don't do this to me. It only be for a few days." I said.

"But we don't want you to go." Louis said. "What about our prank war?"

"We'll just have to put it on hold." I said. "Guys, please don't make me feel guilty. This is my uncle we're talking about."

"We understand Win. Go get packed." Zayn said.

"Thanks Zayn." I said and sprinted to my room. Once in there, I literally speed packed. Within, 45 mins I was done and Harry helped me bring my suitcases out to the living room.

"Win, you know we can't go to the airport with you. We're leaving for the arena in 15 minutes." Niall said.

"That's right. Well, we'll have to say goodbye here. You've got to go." I said.

I looked at the all the guys and their heads hung low and it actually made my heart shatter a little.

"Guys, please. Stop making me feel guilty." I said as tears filled my eyes.

"We're not trying to Win. It's just that we've all been together so long, so it's weird being separated from you." Louis said.

"Come here." I said and held my arms open for him.

"Listen. I love you guys and I'll be back in three days. I promise." I said as I let go of Louis.

"Do you pinkie swear?" he asked.

"Yes, I swear on a stack of pinkies." I laughed.

One by one, each boy came up and gave me a hug and then they made their way to the van. Liam was last and I knew it was going to be super hard.

"Liam." I said as more tears filled my eyes. Before I could even say more, he grabbed my face and then crashed his lips on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held me tightly. When we broke away, he pulled me in for a hug and sighed.

"Just remember, I love you and we'll see each other in three days." he said.

"I will. I love you Liam." I said.

"I love you too. Be safe and don't do anything stupid." he laughed.

"You know I can't promise you that." I laughed.

He laughed at me as he stroked my cheek and then he kissed me lightly one last time. He then let go and I watched as he walked out of the room.

Eventually, my driver came up to my room and took my bags. Once I got to the airport, I slipped my sunglasses on, hoping no paparazzi would spot me, but of course that plan didn't work.

"Miss Scott, is it true Liam cheated on you with Selena Gomez?!" one screamed at me.

"Winnie, have you finally had enough of the fame and you dumped Liam?!" a second on screamed.

"Winnie, where is Liam?!" the third one screamed. I just ignored all their questions and their flashes and made my way inside. I quickly checked in, went through security, and boarded my plane. Uncle Nate is always generous so he booked me first class. The plane took off within fifteen minutes and I just sat back and relaxed. 

"Home sweet home, here I come." I said and shut my eyes.
