The Little Things
~Chapter 1~
"I'm going to bed, love you!" I shout downstairs to Mom. I wait for a response before finally heading into my bathroom to brush my teeth. While I lie down, trying to fall asleep I text Liam.
Me: Hey, coffee tmrw @ 10?
Liam Is My BestFriend: Not sure if 10 wrks, maybe dinner?
I roll my eyes. Since when does Liam no have time to hang out with me? I respond with a quick yes anyway, agreeing to meet him at his house at five. I finally fall asleep after stressing over the guys acted different for hours.
When I wake up the next morning, I quickly take a shower and run down the stairs. "Morning," I say while grabbing an apple out of the bowl on the table. Mom just waves, not looking away from the Tv. "Whatcha watching?" I ask, sitting next to her, biting into my apple. "One Direction's interview, these boys are too much," She laughs to herself. I stare at her, finding it a little weird that she's watching. A question comes up about girlfriends, only Zayn and Louis answer. I stare at Liam's face. "He looks sad, doesn't he?" I whisper. Mom shrugs as if she doesn't notice. I roll my eyes, tired of everyone brushing it off.
I decide to go get coffee by myself. Oddly enough, Harry is in line right before me. "Oh, not too big to cut lines yet, I see," I joke and he turns around, laughing. "How'd I know it was you, Valarie," He pokes me in the stomach. Only Liam calls me Val. "Be a doll and buy me a coffee?" I wink, he nods, thinking nothing of it. "So, how's school been?" He asks as we wait. "How fun could school be, Harry?" I chuckle. "And being a super famous teen heartthrob?" I ask him, bumping him with my hip. "What can I say," He shrugs. This is the Harry I know, not the one from last night.
We pick a table and sit down, chit chatting. "Hey, how's Brian?" Harry winks. I blush. "You still loooove him?" He sings the word love. I smack his arm. "I dunno," I admit. "It feels kinda different," I mumble. Harry just shrugs. "Hey, how's Liam holding up?" I ask, hoping he's okay. "Uhm.." Harry seems at loss for words, his eyes flash to the door, where a man with a camera has just come in. A worried look comes over his face. "Look I gotta go, I'll text you later," He mumbles before rushing out the back exit.
Odd. Very, very odd.
I walk to Liam's, since Mom's out using our car. By the time I get there, I'm soaked and my hands are numb. Liam rushes outside, "Hurry up, don't wanna get sick!" He urges, rushing me inside. When I get inside, heavenly smells fill the air. We sit down and start eating right away, I've never tasted such good food. When we finish, we decide it's a good time to talk. For awhile, we talk about school and tours and fans and friends. Then he asks about Brian. I give him the same answer I give Harry and he frowns. "He loves you," He shrugs. I smile, "How about you? Are you okay?" I whisper. Suddenly, his phone starts to vibrate, he looks at it secretively, "I've got to take this," He says, running into a different room.
I throw my napkin on the table, ready to just walk home.
