Chapter 1 - I wish

                                                                            Chapter 1: I WISH

Liam  checked his email carefully to make sure he didn’t miss any important news. As usual, all the mails was about Zayn since the boy had broken up with his girlfriend. When Liam first heard about it, he had been very happy, though he did’t know why. He claimed it was because he was so overprotective and Zayn was like his little brother, actually every other guys in One Direction were his little brothers, including the oldest Louis – who wasn’t at all mature. However, Liam always thought that that the girl didn’t deserve Zayn’s love, for example, she had dumped Zayn and vanished, left him with a broken heart and that wasn’t what Liam called ‘love’. In the past few days, Zayn’s twitter and facebook account was full of consolations and it was not like the boy would get over it soon.

Liam hated it when he figured he wanted Zayn to be hurt by that girl more, so that Zayn wouldn’t think about finding a new one for the rest of his life, or at least for the time being. However, Liam hadn’t said a word to Zayn since the incident and he knew that he must, sooner or later, tell Zayn something, maybe, that there was plenty fish in the sea, which he didn’t nearly wanted to say at all.

Liam found it hard to pick up his phone and texted Zayn:

"U’r free 2nite babe? Let’s meet? I got sth to say."

 "When? Where?" Zayn replied after a couple of minites.

"7 P.M. My house."

"C ya then." Zayn’s text flew back right away, which made Liam smiled goofily. And soon after that, he frowned as he didn’t know what to say to Zayn. He sighed and threw the phone the bed. It was a stupid action of his when he said he wanted to talk about something with Zayn but actually didn’t have a glue what to say.

At 6:45

"Did Zayn get ready yet?" The thought flew through Liam’s mind as he shook his head to chase it away. What was with him about Zayn’s getting ready already or not?!

No sooner had he just thought about it did the doorbell rang. It was so unlike Zayn, he had always been late for rehearsal and now he was on time? Not to mention early!!

"Coming!" Liam jumped to the door. "Vas happenin, man? You’re earl…"

At the doorway stood Alisa – his girlfriend. She was stunning and there was a little shocking experience in her face.

"You look surprised, Liam! Did you forget that you had promised me to see my pals? We’ll hang out, have small conversation and ended up at my house. What do you think?" Alisa smiled gracefully while Liam’s eyes wide opened.

"OMG it’s totally slipped my mind. I got a really serious meeting tonight… Can you cancel it for me Alisa?..." Liam was unaware of Alisa’s facial expression. The girl slowly frowned and Liam finally stopped when he found Alisa totally unpleasant

"Have you finished Liam Payne? Because I think it’s my turn to speak." Alisa stopped to see Liam’s reaction. Then she continued "Is this some kind of meeting involved your bandmates? If so, I want you to know that I’m your girlfriend, not those boys."

She bursted out and Liam knew that she had reached her limit. "I have had it enough. I don’t want to say this, but since the X Factor  was over, you didn’t care about me at all. I really don’t understand you now Liam. You’re acting as if you wanted to push me away. Or is it you think that you got plenty of options now? – To her word, Liam could see water in the corner of her eyes. The girl was trying not to cry and Liam could hear her word getting weaker – If that’s the case,… I’m done."

Alisa stomped out of the house in anger with a broken heart, Liam could tell. She left Liam with a big question mark.

"Didn't I care about what she feels? Am I pushing her away? Or am I just so oblivious and forgot that I have a girlfriend?"

He just couldn’t believe it. All these years of love, she just said “I’m done” and left. He remembered those days… They could have been the best couple…

"I MUST NOT LET HER GO!"

There was something flashed through his mind, something called memories. He knew he must keep her to his side. He didn’t want to change, she was his priority now.

Liam came after Alisa to her car. He saw her standing lonely, some guilty feeling appeared. As he walked towards her, he just simply hugged her

"I love you Ali. Don’t you ever say such thing to me again, ok? I love you!" He restated it to make sure that she heard everything he said.

He went out with Alisa without forgeting to text Zayn:

"U ready? Sr I forgot that I’d arranged sth b4. Later, kay?"

"Kay coz I dun wanna hear another word about that little problem of mine, in case that’s what you wanna talk bout." Zayn’s message came right after.

Liam read the text. He was frozen as if his heart was stabbed with hundreds knives. But he would never knew that there was someone watching him and his girlfriend hugging, snogging just minutes ago. That “someone” by no doubts was Zayn. Zayn was holding his phone, wanting to send to Liam: “Nice date w Ali” but he just couldn’t press the button.

Late that night, Zayn posted on twitter: “U never knew how much u needed that ‘somebody’ until that ‘somebody’ leave you.” Everyone thought it was to his ex-girlfriend. But was it?

...

Liam helped Alisa entered his house. The girl was drunk, or half-drunk. He just got back from the meeting with Alisa’s friends. It should have been a normal meeting, well it used to be, but now he found it annoying to answer their questions.

"How are you guys doing? Do you think you could get me Harry’s phone number? Does Louis really have a girlfriend yet? Would all that be called 'typical friends meeting'? Not to mention the worst part. Is it true that Zayn broke up with his girlfriend? Do you think you could tell me his phone number? Hello? What else?"

That was what Liam thought. But he couldn’t show that out because he was afraid that he would hurt his girlfriend’s feeling. If there was nothing wrong with his health, Liam would definitely try to drink as much as he could to avoid answering. However, that didn’t mean he had answered everything they asked with pleasure. Contrarily, he didn’t say anything clearly at all. And that really pissed Alisa off. She hated it when Liam avoid having conversation with her friends. So she drank as much as she could, it was kind of hilarious when she did that instead of him.

"You didn’t act as a gentle man Liam." She moved in closer to the boy. "I was disappointed. Make it up for me."

She then hugged him, and kissed him. Yeah right, that’s what the girl wanted to say. Liam tried his best to “make it up” to her, however.

They made love. It was not like the first time or anything. Liam used to love touching her body and see how she trembled, but this time, things weren’t that good. Maybe it was because he didn’t actually… prepare for that. Or was it his mind was thinking about Zayn. However, Liam couldn’t force himself to like it.

"What’s wrong with you?" Alisa asked, smelling alcohol.

"Nothing actually, it was just that I felt tired…. Maybe your friends had actually worn me out." He was lying. "Maybe I’ll make it up to you some other time, ok?" 

Alisa knew there was no point persuading Liam into continuing something against his will in the first place. Actually, Alisa didn’t feel the tension in Liam's touch and she didn’t like it. It really bored her stiff. Maybe a sleep, in this case, could do her good.

"Ok…." Alisa pulled herself out of Liam and slept. She was so drunk.

Liam knew that he had upset his girlfriend in many ways today, but he couldn’t do anything to help it. He was terribly obsessed with Zayn right now. Guilt took over him and he couldn't do anything about it.

"How was Zayn? What was he doing? What did he feel when I suddenly cancel my plan? I wish he had shown some reaction when he texted me back. Perhaps it could reduce my guilt"

Liam found himself being weird when he thought so much about it. He shouldn’t be because it was not the first time they missed a plan because of a girl.

Liam pulled out his phone and checked twitter when he saw what Zayn had written. That text should be dedicated to his ex. Liam texted Zayn right after. "r u ok, man? Sr 4 today!" 

"Nah I’m fine. Just about to sleep. Btw, r u supposed to be in bed with Lisa right now?" Zayn texted him back without any hesitation.

Liam was surprised. He didn't know how Zayn found out about Alisa. Why didn’t he say it earlier? Liam was actually scared that Zayn saw him and his girlfriend. It could remind him of the his ex, about depression he was having.

All Liam could do was reply to Zayn: “I’m sorry, Z! Truly!”

"Oh com'on LiLi. Stop being such a girl. I forgive you LOL. Btw, remind me of the appointment tomorrow with Simon again, will you?"

Liam sighed with relief as he received the message. He almost forgot about tomorrow appointment. And thanks to Zayn. Liam quickly replied. "2morrow. 8A.M. Gotta sleep now. Gnite sexy beast."

"C u then beauty!" Came the reply
