I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.

I picked it up without looking at the caller i.d.

"Hello?" My morning voice spoke.

"Oh. Sorry. I didn't mean to call you." I heard Harry say before hanging up.

I looked at the time to see it was already 1 PM.

I overslept big time.

I got and walked to my bathroom and turned on the water for the shower.

I removed my clothes from my body and waited for the water to get warm.

I stepped inside and washed my hair and body.

When I finished, I dried my body with a towel and put on a pair of jean shorts and a hoodie.

I dried my hair with my towel and braided it.

I then walked downstairs to eat some breakfast.

I prepared myself a bowl of cereal and went to the theatre room to watch a movie.

I put on "The Haunting in Conneticut".

Normally, I don't watch scary movies alone, but I didn't know what other movie to watch.

*****

It was now 4 PM and Aliyah still hadn't called me.

I grabbed my phone and dialed her number.

"Vanessa! Hi!" Her voice sounded a little off.

"Hey, um, so can we hangout?" I asked her.

"Uhh.. I don't know."

I heard a bunch of voices in the background.

"Where are you?" I asked curiously.

"Uhhh..." I could tell she didn't want to tell me.

"Aliyah? Tell me."

"Aliyah, come join us!" I heard Liam say in the background.

"C'mon. It's our hangout today." Louis said shortly after.

"Yeah!" Bridget chimed in.

"Aliyah." I said sternly.

"I'm sorry. I have to go." She said before hanging up.

They're hanging out without me?

I sighed and walked back to my room.

Where are they?

What are they doing?

Do they not want me there?

I don't want to intrude, but I won't be able to go to sleep without those questions answered.

I put some skinny jeans on along with a Mickey Mouse sweater and black VANS.

I grabbed my phone and walked outside.

I got in my car and began driving to Aliyah's house.

When I arrived, I stepped out of my car and knocked on the door.

I could hear a bunch of laughs through the door.

A few seconds later, Niall appeared at the door.

"Oh. Umm.. Hi, Nessi. Long time no see." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Hi, Niall. What's going on in there?" I asked.

"Oh. Nothing really." He smiled.

"Can I come in?"

He looked back before looking at me.

"I guess.." He stepped aside, letting me walk in.

As soon as everyone noticed me, their smiles disappeared.

"What's going on?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Oh! Vanessa! Didn't know you were back in London." Liam said, but I could see right through his lie.

I saw Aliyah's eyes go wide in shock.

I walked towards her.

"Kitchen. Now." I said.

I walked into her kitchen waiting for her to join me.

She walked in a few seconds later.

"I thought you had a doctor's appointment."

"I did. I already went." She said.

"You said you couldn't hang out, yet you're hanging out with them?" My voice began rising slightly.

"Vanessa, chill. Okay?"

I rolled my eyes.

"You just lied to me and you want me to chill?" I glared at her.

"Look, I'm sorry. It's just.."

"It's just what?" I asked when she didn't say anything else.

"I-I don't know. Honest." She looked down.

"How do you not know?!" I yelled.

She didn't answer me.

"If you didn't want to hangout you could've have just said no instead of lying to me." I said.

She didn't answer me again.

"Why are you guys avoiding me?" My voice softened.

"We're not avoiding you." She finally said.

"Well, that's what it seems like to me."

She sighed.

"Do you want to join us?" She asked.

"There's no point if no one wants me here."

"No one said that."

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, but I won't stay for long."
