Maribelle's Point of View.
"Babe, your phone is ringing." I heard Zayn said.
I can clearly hear the phone ringing, I wasn't deaf. I reached for my phone. I managed to grab it. I yawned as I pressed the phone to my ear. I heard nothing or what I yawned and answered the phone. I was half asleep by managed to answer it.
"So brunch today, yeah? Get the whole gang together?" A boy said with excitement.
"Yeah whatever." I yawned then hanged up immediately.
I rolled over to turn to Zayn. I snuggled up closer to him and lightly shut my eyes. "Please don't wake me up when I'm sleeping." I yawned. I felt his strong arms wrap around me pulling closer to him.
"Sorry, but it woke me up. It's only fair babe." He said in his overly tired voice.
A smile spreads across my face once he spoke. He lightly kissed me my forehead. I opened my eyes and fluttered them. The bright sunlight from the windows made it difficult for my vision to adjust.
"Ugh! I don't want to get up!" I whined loudly.
My body ached as if I've been running a marathon. I hate getting up from sleep. I always did no matter what. I can't help it if I'm just that lazy in the morning. I stretched a bit before trying to get up.
"Wake up you two!" Harry said before jumping on the both of us.
"Harry get off." I grumbled as I tried to move.
"We are going to have brunch." He announced calmly. "Brunch with the gang."
"Says who?" Zayn mumbled.
"Louis just called." He answers with a slight grin.
This feeling inside of me knew it would be hard to hangout with the boys workout Liam. It is clearly not going to be the same. He's now a missing puzzle piece of ours.
It's just going to be the five of is now.
Not six.
Not seven.
Only five.
We all got ready fairly quickly. It shocked me because we always took forever. It was definitely a firs for us. My mind has not left the fact that he's gone. Gone to be left to decay with the Earth beneath us. I suddenly had the urge to call Liam's mother. I wanted to make sure everything was okay with her.
I zipped up my hoodie and headed to the bathroom. I sat on the edge of the tub. Reaching into my pocket, I retrieve my phone. I looked at the dimmed screen before unlocking my phone. I clicked the contact button and scrolled to her number. I pressed the call button and waited as it rang.
"Good morning is everything alright Maribelle?" She answered, she sounded extremely tired.
"Uhm, Liam, I--" I didn't exactly was prepared to have a conversation with her.
"Still in the hospital." She said.
"Oh well--I"
For some reason the line cut off. I looked at my phone and noticed I had full service. It left me confused, I called her back. It went directly to voice mail. I sighed and got up off of tub. I opened the door of the bathroom. Zayn was in front of me. I shook my head and hugged him. I lightly closed my eyes as I rested my head against his chest.
Realizing that I wouldn't be seeing Liam made me feel like a part of me was gone. He'd cheer me up when I was sad and always encourage me to be a better me. He was a great friend who didn't even deserve this.
I slowly lifted my head up from him and gave Zayn a quick kiss.
"Lets go." He whispered as he intertwined our fingers.
I nodded as he led me to the front of the house where Harry was waiting. We walked towards the car and drove to the Brunch place.
"Good day mates." Louis greeted as we sat down with them. "It's been a while."
"I guess you can say that." Zayn said as he slightly nodded.
"I'm so hungry right now." Niall said as he leaned back into his chair. "I haven't ate since last night."
"Niall we have to wait til Liam gets here." Louis replied.
"I guess your right." Niall agreed.
Harry shook his head. "Erm, Louis it's not funny. Stop making stupid jokes, yeah?"
"I have no idea what's happening with you three. Did you watch some sad movie last night?" Louis asked curiously.
Zayn and Harry remained quiet. My eyes turned to Niall as he's phone vibrated "It's Liam." Niall chimed. "He just texted."
Are they honestly going to continue on with this nonsense? This is our best friend we are talking about. I looked out the window and began to block out their nonsense conversation about it. I looked at the menu but all I could hear is Niall and Louis.
"I'm leaving." I said as I got up.
I noticed I said that a bit too loud. I didn't want to turn around to seeing the whole diner staring at me. Way to cause attention to yourself Belle.
"Excuse me will you control yourself." A lady yelled from across the room.
"Fuck you." I yelled back without thinking.
Someone tapped my shoulder. I slowly looked back and it was just the manager. She pointed at the door.
"Eat without me." I heading towards the door.
I sat outside on the bench. I brought my knees to my chest and rested my head on it. I should really watch what I say. Bad timing for everyone, nothing ever goes my way.
"Is everything alright?" A boy asked me as he grabbed his arm around me.
"Fuck off, who do you think you are."
"What's this foul language about?" He asked with his soft voice.
I froze for a minute realizing that the person sounded a lot like him. I didn't want to look at the person next to me. It seemed to good to be true. I felt the heat in my eyes. Tears beginning to form and drip down my eyes.
"Are you crying Belle?"
I turned my head slightly to see Liam with an confused expression. I began to tear even more. I wrapped my arms around him and began to cry against the material of his sweater. He didn't say a word to me. I hoped this wasn't an illusion. I took a deep breath and looked at him.
"You're alive." I said nearly breathlessly.
"I've been in the hospital." He said as he nodded. "I'm okay. The doctors said I've been overly exhausted ad told me to relax. I'm getting better though."
I shook my head in disbelief. That can't be true. This can't be true. Am I living a lie? How on earth? I wiped my tears.
"Your mom told me you were dead last night. She called me a six." I said.
He laughed a little and shook his head. "That can't be true. Belle, I'm alive."
"What if this is a dream?" I asked as I ran my hands through my bangs. "I'll wake up and you'll be gone."
"Belle, I'm alive, this is reality." He reassured me. "
I paused and look at him. "Your mother lied to me?"
"She was with me the whole time." He said confusedly.
I took my phone and unlocked it. I opened my call histories and showed him when she called.
"You see? She called me at this time." I said as I wiped the remaining tears on my face.
He grabbed it and looked at it. He's eye winced at he looked closer at the number. He gave the phone back to me and shrugged.
"That's not my number. I'm afraid they pranked you." He said.
My heart stopped for a minute. I let out a sigh of relief. This was all just so screwed up. I hugged Liam once more.
"I'm glad you're okay." I mumbled.
"Thank you, now please stop crying." He said then chuckled.
He got up and grabbed my hand. I got up and smiled at him. He carefully wipe the remaining tears and the smudged makeup on my face.
"Lets go eat." He said as he gestured me to enter the diner.
I shook my head and laughed. I sniffled my nose. "I got kicked out. I told her to flick off. I know, very classy of me."
"Super classy. Question, who else knows about this whole misshapen?" He asked curiously as I crossed my arms.
I looked up at him as the sun shined behind him. I took my hand and placed it over my eyes as a shade. I slightly shrugged.
"Harry and Zayn." I answered "They were with me. You see, Zayn and I were in an argument. Harry dropped me home then Zayn showed up. It's a long story."
"Everything fine now?" He asked with that sincere tone of his.
I nodded in response.
"Well I'm going to text the two. I don't want to give them a heart attack but walking in." He said taking out his phone.
The boys came out and Harry and Zayn attacked Liam with a huge hug. I ended up tearing us again.
We went to a different restaurant and ate. It was good to be reunited with them. We hanged out by the lounge they had after.
I began to feel disgusted. Disgusted to the feeling to vomit. How the fuck can someone prank a person like that. I began to tense up to the thought of it. I felt Zayn's arms wrap around me.
"You alright babe?" He whispered.
"This person isn't getting away with this." I said as I shook my head.
"Ring the person saying she won a contest or something. Maybe we can meet her." Louis suggested. "Private call her."
Louis handed me the phone. He told me the number to make my number private. I pressed the phone to my ear. The phone began to ring. I began to feel extremely nervous.
"Hello, I'd like to inform you that you've won a private shopping spree with out of your favorite One Direction members." I said as I met my lip.
I heard a loud yell on the line. I placed the phone on speaker. Looks like I'm good at thinking on my toes.
"Wait for what company? I forgot I must of signed up for like every."
"What company, that's a silly question. I thought you'd know from my voice. British..." I said trying to come up with something.
"British?" She repeated.
I looked at the boys and their movements. Car? Cruise? Plane? Mobile?
"Uhm, British Transit?" I said as I gave them a thumbs up.
"But you're not British." She said.
"I've been an Americanized. I mimic television." I said. "Excuse me but we need to wrap up. We can speak forever. Please come to the London Eye tomorrow at five o clock." I said trying to speed up the call. "What member will you be choosing my dear?"
"Zayn Malik." She said with reoccurring cheers and screams. "See you at the London Eye."
I hung up the phone and everyone burst out of laughter. I sighed as I leaned my head against Zayn. "Next time, I'm writing a script for these things." I said as I then began to laugh.
He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb is circular motions across the back of my hand.
Louis laugh just got louder and louder. "I've been Americanized by television. Wow and her scream is mad hilarious. You are the best at prank calling."
"So nice of us to be here together." Liam sighed with a smile on his face.
"You sound like a pastor." Louis laughed loudly.
"Amen, praise the lord." Liam responded in a gospel like tone.
I glanced and Niall as he looked fairly confused. It was either that or he was thinking. I grabbed a paper and crumbled it into a ball then threw it.
"What are you thinking of?" I asked.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering what this girl looks like. What if she knows you?"
"Then I guess that'd be weird or a coincidence." I said as I shrugged. "I mean you can't publicly humiliate her..."
"Niall, this girl, whatever her name is... Basically made three of them die of a heart attack. Wouldn't you Be mad?" Louis said.
Niall nodded slightly in agreement. Louis was right, but it was not like I'd publicly humiliate her. I'd just like to speak to her. I mean we will go shopping just have a lovely talk.
***
Zayn and I took an early morning train to London. I always wanted to go on their trains because it looks so interesting. They were way nicer than the ones back in Canada.
"What if this is awkward." Zayn said as he shrugged. "Well at least Liam will be there to cure it."
"I don't know, it was more of Lou's idea. I just want to know how a person like that would do such a thing. Know what I mean?" I said as I looked out of the window.
The operator announced that London was the next stop. Zayn and I stood up and exited the train. We walked towards at very British like cafe and met up with Liam.
We ended up having brunch together. I actually had my first official crumpet. It filled me with complete happiness. I sighed and sat back against my hair. Observing my surroundings, I saw a quite familiar girl.
Her long blonde hair swept to one side. Her pale like skin. I'm pretty sure I've seen her somewhere before. The tone of her voice raspy as she left with a girl.
"Hello Belle, staring problems?" Liam said as he waved at me.
I laughed at little and looked down at my latte.
"Sorry, she looked like somebody I know." I shrugged as I stirred my latte.
"You are so odd." Zayn laughed as he placed his arms around me. "You had the most English meal with the most American drink."
"If it was up to me, I'd be at Tim Hortons, no that's not a boy if you were wondering." I smiled before taking a sip of my drink.
"Mmm, double double." He said with a grin.
Liam insisted we'd get there early just incase she did. I began to felt really anxious to know who it was. Luckily, many tourists didn't cause too much attention to them. It was weird because they're were so many tourist around. Usually they would freak out if Zayn or Liam or any of them were around. An hour of waiting past and no one as of yet...
