Something Great || One Direction

Isabella

5 Years Ago

My one month has finally come to an end. I was broken hearted. I didn't want to leave this beautiful country yet. I just want to stay but I couldn't for three reasons. One, my Visa is for a month long only, because that's all we could do at short notice. Two, I have an interview that I need to get to before that opportunity flies out of the door. And three, my parents expect me to stay in the Philippines until I get stable or until I make our life better.

The day before my flight, Liam and Louis decided to have a little get together with the entire crew and my cousins before I live. It was a very thoughtful thing anyone could do for me. I have grown to be friends with their crew over the short 3 weeks. My cousins also made friends with the lads despite how crazy fangirls they can get.

We were all enjoying the time, I had my first taste of alcohol that night that I vowed never to taste it ever again. Liam just laughed at me and agreed. He too doesn't do alcohol as often as these lads. Sam and Scarlet were out there partying, being at their element. These two just gets along really well when you talk about One Direction and parties.

Niall, Louis and Harry were also enjoying the time of their lives, as if they don't have a show the next day. Maybe this is their pre-last show party, as tomorrow is their last show for the On The Road Again Tour. Let's just hope they don't lose their voices and get too drunk before tomorrow's show.

I was enjoying looking at all of them partying when Liam walked towards me bringing, what I tell is, iced tea.

"You're not enjoying your party." He said and handed me the iced tea.

"Thanks." I said lifting my cup a little before taking a sip. "I'm actually enjoying it. Parties are just not my scene. I usually stay in the side line. You should be there partying with them." I nudged him.

"It's not my scene too." He said with a cheeky grin.

"Yeah right. You're just saying that to fit in in my little circle of friends." I said laughing. Anyone looking at me right now would think I'm already wasted, I think I am but I'm not. 

"Of course. That has been the goal since day one." He remarked. "And I think I just achieved that today."

"Yeah right." I said laughing.

"Anyway, I came here to tell you something." He said. He stopped laughing and has put a serious face. "Let's talk somewhere quieter."

I nodded as he lead me to the other most part of the balcony where there is a couch. No one was occupying it and it is the farthest from the dance floor.

"So, what do you want to tell me?" I asked as we both got settled.

"Uhmm..." He trailed off. He was not fidgeting with his fingers. "I wasn't going to tell you this but since you're leaving, I have no choice but to tell you."

I stayed quiet. I didn't know what to say or what to ask. So out of no where I took he cup and drank from it. I knew it was not beer, but I know it contained a little bit of alcohol.  It won't hurt him and his kidneys, but it will hurt me because it was my first time having a taste of any alcoholic beverages.

"I don't know if I could get any other chance to tell you this." He said. "I really like you, Isabella." He said and I just looked at him dumbfounded. I didn't expect that to happen. I knew it. I KNEW IT! This is not happening! 

I felt my heart beating faster than it normal does, plus the added alcohol in my system made it worst. Way faster when I was at their concert seeing them perform live for the very first time. I couldn't comprehend what he just said and I just continued to stare at Liam.
