Step A little closer to me

Chapter 2

"Sorry Liza, we only have five controllers. You can be our referee!" Liam said trying to cheer me up. It's not like this was a big surprise to me, it's been this way since Zayn and I started going out four months ago. I mean, it's not like they can't afford another controller, I just don't care to play. 

"No it's fine. I'll just sit here and watch" I said forcing a smile. Liam could tell I wasn't into reffing, and he gave me a reasuring smile before heading back to his beanbag beside Louis. 

"ARE YOU READY TO GET YOUR ASSES KICKED" Louis yelled, scaring Harry, causing him to fall of of his bar stool and into Niall's lap. He quickly stood back up, his curls disheveled around his head. "Come on man" He shook out his hair and gave Louis an "evil" look, but being Harry, he looked about as evil as a cupcake. "Whatever lets just start already! I'm gonna be drunk before we get past the main menu!" Niall said gulping down his second beer, reaching for a third. 

I pulled out my phone to pull up my tumblr when I saw that I had text from an unknown number. 

Looks like a great time you're having sweetheart, but I could give you a better time ;)

"The hell?" I whispered, but apparently too loud because Zayn looked up at me. "What's wrong babe?" He asked. "Oh, um, nothing" I said "Just, tumblr stuff" I said throwing my phone to the side. He smiled and turned back around. I reached for my phone and read the message over and over. I clicked reply: 

Um, Who is this? I have a boyfriend. 

I waited for the send bar to fully load, but it never did. Then a box popped up saying that the message couldn't be sent due to an unknown number. It was probably some stupid prank by some immature kid from twitter who found my number. Yeah, that's what it was. I hope.

5 hours later

"Liza. Liza. LIZA" Louis yelled into my ear startling me. "Jesus Lou!" I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes. I must have fallen asleep after the text incident. "What?"  I asked him a bit agitated. "We're leaving" Zayn walked over and helped me off the couch and held me in his arms for a while. "You smell like smoke hun" I said looking up at him. "I know. I just had a cigarette." He said. I looked down and hugged him a little longer before letting go. "What Do I Smell Like Liza!" Niall jumped into my arms. "Oomf!" i grunted and laughed. He was clearly drunk. "You smell like beer and shamrocks Niall" I laughed and pulled away. "HELL YEAH I SMELL LIKE BEER AND SHAMROCKS!" he shouted and ran out back into the darkness. "I'll go get him" Liam said "Goodnight guys!" he shouted back to us from outside. 

We walked out to the taxi that Liam called for us and slid into the back. It was warm and dark in the taxi and I could have fallen asleep right then and there, but the feeling of my phone vibrate in my sweatshirt startled me. Who could be texting me at this hour?

Don't like smokers? I could help you get rid of him ;) xx

I stared at the screen for a while. What was going on? Who is this? The only person that heard the conversation that Zayn and I just had was Liam, and Liam wouldn't text me something like this. "Who is it?" Zayn asked looking at me. "Um, it was uh, just Harry. He said he forgot to say bye. So Bye" I lied. I hated lying to Zayn, we told each other everything, I just didn't want to worry him with some stupid prank. He smiled and layed his head on my shoulder until we arrived back to his flat. I turned my phone off and tried to push the texts out of my head, but something just wasn't right.
