Chapter 29
Casey’s P.O.V.
“That was fun!” Harry said happily as he opened the door for us as we exited the skating rink.
“Yeah. You almost broke your leg because you can’t skate well.” Louis shook his head, closing the door, while holding Eleanor’s hand.
After watching the movie, we decided to have our dinner. After that, we went to the skating rink because the boys wanted to have fun. It was really awkward for me and Liam, though. Both of us were silent throughout the day. Well, it was just me actually. He was acting like nothing happened. I noticed that he was looking at me secretly but I just brushed the thought off. He was pretending that nothing’s off and that was actually killing me. How can he be so naïve? I thought we had this something.
“So, shall we go home now?” Niall asked, looking at us. He was itching to go home because Raika is waiting for him in their flat and he doesn’t want her to wait. Louis said yes and all of us immediately went to the van.
The trip was actually fun. Louis and Harry were arguing about the TV Show they watched last night which I forgot the title because I wasn’t even barely paying attention to them. Eleanor and Kim were talking about this sale on I don’t even know what shop was it. Niall kept on checking his phone for Raika’s new texts. Me? I’m in the back seat, looking outside even though I can’t see anything because I don’t want to see Liam.
“This is me.” Kim suddenly said. The car stopped in front of their house and she stepped outside. “Thanks, guys. It was really fun. See you tomorrow!”
“I’ll text you.” Harry smiled at her and she just nodded.
“Will you text me to?” Louis pouted, his eyes were twinkling with cheekiness. Harry put a finger on his lips and grinned.
“Shhhh, Boobear. Not now. Not infront of my girlfriend.” He said, chuckling while Kim laughed out loud. Eleanor just shook her head like she always does but a little smile on her face. That’s why Louis loves Eleanor so much. She knows how to take a joke and have fun. She’s like Louis. Harry faced Kim again and waved. “Take care. I love you!”
“I love you too!” She replied, waving back at us. She started to walk away from the car and Harry closed the door. I looked outside the window again, mesmerizing the view outside even though I can’t really see anything. The car stopped again and I saw Eleanor stepped out of the vehicle.
“It’s nice to hang out with you guys! Take care everyone. Especially you.” She smiled at me and I just nodded. She’s really caring. This is why she doesn’t deserve the hate she’s getting from other people. If only they know how amazing El is.
“Hey, how about your boyfie?” Louis frowned, scratching his head.
“He has a boyfriend. He’s gay.” Eleanor smirked, rolling her eyes. Louis did the same and stared at her, an evil grin was plastered on his face.
“You’ll see who’s gay tomorrow.”
“Can’t wait.” El wiggled her eyebrows.
It’s like we’re watching a video where the characters are eye, excuse me for my word, fucking each other. Even Niall who was busy checking his phone, looked up with wide eyes.
“Goodness gracious, Lou. Just wait for tomorrow.” He said sharply.
“Bye, everyone. Bye, Lou. Good night. Love you.” El blew him a kiss and he caught it with his hand. He placed it on his heart and smiled.
“Awwww, that’s sweet.” Harry interfered sarcastically, resting his head on his hands.
“Shut up, Haz. You had your time with your girlfriend and I’m having my time now.”
“Ok.”
“So, see you tomorrow?” Louis asked, staring at her like she’s the only person who is around.
“Of course, babe. Night.”
“Night!” He said cheerfully, closing the door of the car.
“Where is Zayn, by the way?” I asked, breaking the ice because the silence was seriously hurting my ear. I saw Niall looked at Liam. Harry and Louis exchanged glances while I saw Liam stiffened. No one answered me for a minute then, Niall cleared his throat.
“Uhm.. You see..”
The car suddenly stopped and I realized I’m already back at my apartment. Louis gave way for me and I went out of the car, inhaling the cold air. I thanked everyone and they did the same, telling me it was nothing because I was their friend and everything. That made me curious. They were talking at the same time but I know they were keeping a secret from me. I don’t know what it is, though.
“I have to go. See you around.” Before I turned my back, I saw Liam looking at me. I didn’t care though so I started walking towards the apartment. I opened the door and saw Ella yawning, stretching her arms to the air. She was still doing her report on Biology. I don’t even know why we have that subject.
“Hi there.” I said, sitting down on the chair beside her. I just realized that all of the things drained my energy. “Have you seen Zayn today?“
“Nope but he texted me he wants to take a rest. Why?”
“He didn’t go with the boys to the mall.”
“Oh. Maybe he’s just tired. He slept here, right?” She shrugged, facing her laptop again. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes. I still can’t accept Liam’s behavior towards me. He won’t talk to me but he’ll just look at me as if I’m a delirious person asking for an autograph. I really want to cry right now but what’s the point of doing that? It’s just like a way of saying that I’m obsessed with him. I never had him. We never had a relationship so my tears will just be useless and worthless. “So, Liam…”
“Yeah?” I almost jumped when Ella said that. I opened my eyes and saw her smiling a little.
“Zayn told me. That actually sucks you know.” She stood up and sat down beside me. “Don’t worry. I’m still here.”
“Do you what it feels like, El?” I tried to smile but luckily for me, I failed. “Even though we never had a relationship, it still hurts. I thought he likes me, too. The signals I’ve been receiving. The texts and his gestures.”
“Well, he does like you.”
“If he does, why would he leave me last night? Don’t tell me he was just nervous because that would be really pathetic.”
“I wasn’t going to say that.” She rolled her eyes and grinned. “You know what you need?”
“A life?” I said, shaking my head.
“Yeah, you need that too.” She laughed softly, patting my back. “But you need this more.”
She pulled me closer to her and hugged me tight. This is why I love my friend so much. She knows what to do whenever I’m upset. She knows that words can’t comfort me whenever I’m sad. I hugged her back, letting the tears I’ve been holding back since the start of the day. Maybe it’s not bad letting this pain go. Maybe it’s just okay for me to be weak even just this time.
“Don’t worry, Case. I’m still here. Zayn is here. Harry, El, Lou, Kim, Niall and Raika.. We still love you.”
“I know. That’s why I love you guys.” I let go of her, wiping my tears as I bit my lower lip.
She smiled, stood up and faced the device again. “You should get some sleep first.”
“Okay. Night. And don’t pressure yourself.”
“Aye, aye, captain!” She chuckled. I lifted a finger and turned my back. Upon reaching our room, I changed my clothes to my jammies. I don’t have any strength anymore so I let myself fall to the bed. My body hit the smooth mattress and I just closed my eyes. Liam always texts me Good Night every 9pm and it’s almost 10pm. Maybe it’s for the best. I breathed heavily and closed my eyes. Maybe we’re really not meant for each other.
[A/N: I’m sorry for the late update. I had a writer’s block. Thanks to those who waited, though. I laff you all! :D xxx]
