Liam and Amelia's suite bedroom above.

Amelia Smith

I wake up to a smell of fresh red roses. I open my eyes and see rose petals sprawled over the room and the bed.

Liam did this. He obviously is sorry because of last night.

The roses

I hear voices in the living room so I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I don't bother to fix my hair even though it looks like a mess.

When I go to the living room I see Liam and Rob talking.

"Here she is! My kit kat!" Rob exclaims and gives me a hug. Liam is by the kitchenette drinking coffee from his mug.

Our eyes meet as Rob and I break away from our hug. "Hey." He says in a soft tone.

"Hey."

Should I say thanks for the roses?

No, I'm still mad at him.

Am I?

I just don't like the fact that he doesn't like to talk with me. He keeps everything buried deep inside.

"Let's go for breakfast," Rob says cutting the tension.

I look at him. "Where?"

"The hotel restaurant. They have really good food." He says.

"Okay but I need to take a shower first."

"Sure, take your time."

****

"I'm full." I sigh patting my stomach.

Rob widens his eyes. "Liam is right. You eat very little."

"Yes, I do." I smile.

"Sooo...." He starts.

"So?" I raise my eyebrow.

"He called me at three in the morning and told me what happened. He said he couldn't sleep." He says.

"What happened?" I ask innocently and sip my water.

He rolls his eyes. "He said you were really mad at him and he made you cry."

"Yes, I was just so angry because he was acting so fucking weird. Like one minute he's sweet and loving and then he starts ignoring me the next. I don't know, is something bothering him?" I talk, frustratedly.

"Even if something was bothering him, Liam wouldn't tell you. That's just how he is. I was so God damn surprised when he called me and told me what happened. He never does that which shows how much he clearly loves you." He explains.

"But he was ignoring me throughout the car ride," I inform him. It hurt to see him like that.

"That's how he is! He's actually even better now. When we were in high school, there are times when he, the guys, and I would go out and he won't fucking say anything throughout the day. He gets moody sometimes."

I'm confused. "But why?" I ask.

"He is not as perfect as you think he is, Amelia. Nobody is. You just have to understand him more." Rob says.

"How, Rob? I really want to." I run my fingers through my hair.

"You have to figure it out on your own, Kit kat but what I know is, he has changed so much since you became active in his life. He never talked the way he does now. He is so much happier and more fun."

I look into his eyes. "Really?"

"Yes, you know Liam had to grow up in his huge house alone. Adam was here in London. His parents were too busy. He never had anyone to talk to when he was younger. That kind of affected him." Rob says sadly.

As he says that, my heartaches. I always hated being lonely it bothered me. "That's kind of sad." I wipe my tears.

"You guys have to stay strong so that your relationship can last forever. You have a very beautiful and genuine relationship. No one wants to see an end to it." He says.

"Thank you, Rob. You're an amazing friend."

He just smiles and shakes his head.

We both stand up and start walking to the elevator.

"Remember what I told you on the plane?" He presses the button and smirks.

His girlfriend that he's finally meeting.

"Oh yes! I totally forgot about that I'm sorry." I'm supposed to buy her a dress.

"No, it's fine. She is actually arriving here tonight." He says, excitedly rubbing his hands together.

I raise an eyebrow. "I thought she lives here." We enter the lift and I raise press our floor number.

"No, she doesn't." He replies simply.

"Okay."

"So here's my card." He gives me his card.

"No, Robby. It's on me." I push his hand back.

"No, you're already doing a lot by going to buy the dress, Kit kat. Just take it." He gives the card again.

"No, seriously. It's fine. I'll buy it." I insist.

"Alright fine. Thank you."  He smiles.

"Do you have a key?" He asks as we reach the suite door.

"Yeah." I press the card key to the doorknob and we go in.

Liam is sleeping in the bedroom probably because he didn't get any sleep last night so Rob and I sit in the living room and start watching a basketball match.

Nicole💕: Jas and I are coming to pick you up to see Chloe. You up?

Me: Yes, what about Emily?

Nicole💕: She's going out with Colton to meet some of his friends that live here.

Me: Alright, see you❤️

When I go into the bedroom, I see Liam lying on the bed full of roses, awake this time.

I stand in front of the mirror and start doing my makeup. When I finish, I grab my coat and my handbag.

"Are you going somewhere?" He asks in his sexy sleep voice.

"Yes, Nicole, Jasmine, and I are giving Chloe a surprise visit then I'm probably going to the mall or a Gucci store."

He gets up and sits on the bed. "So when are we going to talk?" He runs his hands through his soft hair.

I shrug. "Anytime you're ready."

"I just... fuck! Just call me when you're done. I'll come and pick you up or something." He says as he rubs his forehead, frustratedly.

"Okay, I'm leaving." I say softly."

"Bye." He mumbles.

"You look good, Kit kat," Rob says I step out of the bedroom.

"Thanks." I smile.

I say bye to him and leave.

****

When I reach the parking lot, the black SUV limo is parked. The bodyguard hastily comes out of the passenger seat and opens the door for me. I see Nicole with a huge smile on her face. "Hey!" She squeals and we hug.

When I enter the car my phone screen flashes and I see a message from Liam. Jasmine is also on a call so I allow her to finish before saying hi.

Liam❤️: Have fun, I love you.

After reading the text, I smile and mentally awed.

Me: I love you too❤️

"Amelia," Jasmine calls my attention.

"Jasmine!" I give her an awkward car hug, smiling. "You look so fucking good." I take a look at what she's wearing.

Jasmine's outfit.

Her makeup also looks really nice. Honestly, Jasmine is one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out.

"You guys are matching." Jasmine laughs at Nicole and me.

I look at Nicole's pink fur jacket and my light brown one. "Yeah, I think we bought these jackets together."

"We did," Nicole says.

"Gosh! Trevor Jackson is so hot!" Jasmine says looking into her phone.

"I have a friend that's friends with him. He can hook you guys up." Nicole says.

She widens her eyes."Really? Do you think he'll like me?"

"Bitch, have you seen yourself in a mirror. You're a fucking goddess." Nicole exclaims.

"Thanks." Jasmine chuckles.

As they keep on talking, I look out the window. It's so crazy how much Liam and I both love each other but these problems don't seem to escape us. Am I being too hard on him?

Rob is right. Nobody is perfect but since we started dating, I had it in my head that Liam is in every possible way.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Nicole asks.

"Nothing." I give her my best smile.

She rolls her eyes, obviously not believing but she doesn't push it which I'm thankful for.

We arrive at Chloe's house which looks like a castle. Amazing.

The guards stop us at the gate.

"Who are you visiting?" One of them asks the driver and the driver turns to us.

"We're here to see Chloe. We are her best friends." Jasmine chirps proudly.

"Is she expecting you?" He raises an eyebrow at her.

"No, it's actually a surprise!" She says excitedly.

"I'm sorry, I can't allow you in." The man says.

What a jerk! I know he's doing his job but whatever.

"Don't worry, I've got this." She says bringing out her phone. I can't see what she's doing but it's obvious that she is calling someone.

"Hi, Barbra." She smiles at her phone screen.

Nice. Barbra Wilson is Chloe's mum.

"Jasmine, love. How are you? I thought you and the girls are coming over today." I hear her say over the phone.

"I'm good, thank you. We are actually here but the guards won't let us in." Jasmine says.

"Give them the phone." She says with a bit of annoyance in her tone.

Take that, rude guard!

Jasmine turns her phone screen to him. No words are spoken. He just bows and speaks into his wristwatch. "Open the gates." He says and the gates open.

The guards inspect our car and we go in. The house is so beautiful.

Chloe's house

When we reach the front door of the house, Nicole presses the doorbell. The doorman opens the door and we go in.

Three maids rush to us, each collecting our coat/jacket. "Good evening, ma'am." They all say.

Chloe's mum suddenly appears with a big smile on her face. "Hello, darlings." She says, coming over to give us hugs.

"Hi, Barbra." We all say as she hugs Nicole then she hugs me.

"Welcome to our home." She kisses both of my cheeks.

"Thank you." I smile.

She hugs Jas then we sit in the living room and briefly chat with her. Tea and biscuits were brought by the maids and now Nicole is munching on her biscuit. "This is so good." She moans.

"Eat all you want, dear." Barbra smiles at her.

After Nicole finished eating, a maid leads us to the sitting room upstairs where Chloe is.

"Hey." I casually say as we go in.

She turns to us with shock plastered on her face. Her body freezes as she blinks in disbelief. Then finally, she pinches me herself.

"Oh. My. God. You guys are real!!" She squeals and jumps on me. "I fucking missed you, Smith." She says.

"I missed you too, Chloe."

She hugs Nicole then Jasmine.

"When did you guys get here?" She jumps on her bed.

"Yesterday morning," Nicole says.

"Yeah, around five am," I speak.

"So why didn't you guys come yesterday?"

"Amelia had to go to this charity event with Liam. That's actually the main reason this trip was planned." Jasmine says.

"Guys you won't believe it. I had the craziest day yesterday." I inform them as I rub my forehead.

"What happened?" Chloe asks.

"Jamie came to my hotel to apologize for cutting off our relationship and stuff," I tell them.

"Yeah, he also came to my room when he went to pick up Camilla. They are now staying at Four Seasons." Nicole informs us.

"Where are you guys staying?" Chloe asks curiously.

"Marriott but Amelia and Liam are staying in the Corinthia Hotel," Jasmine says.

Chloe nods her heads and they all turn their attention back to me.

"And guess who I saw at the charity event?" I ask them.

Nicole widens her eyes. "Who?"

"Jason King."

"No way." Chloe.

"Whaaaaaaat?" Jasmine.

"You're kidding!" Nicole.

"I swear to God! I couldn't believe it but it was really nice speaking to him. He's still the same person." I tell them.

"Exactly the same?" Chloe raises her eyebrow.

"He obviously has to get a little bit hotter." Jasmine sings.

"He has." I chuckle.

"What did Liam think?" Nicole asks.

"I don't know. He was acting so weird throughout yesterday. We ended up having a pretty heated fight at the party." I stroke the ends of my hair.

"What? Really?"

"Do you guys know what annoys me? Every time we're fighting or I'm yelling, he has this annoying calm vibe. He never raises his voice. He's just so fucking calm all the time" I say, leaning my back against the couch.

"Awwww. Isn't he the sweetest?" Jasmine puts her hands together and lays her head on Nicole's shoulder.

I roll my eyes. "Fuck you, Jas."

"No, she's right, Amelia. Liam is the sweetest guy when it comes to you." Nicole says.

"Yes, have you guys seen him the day he fought with Caleb Cooper? He was a completely different person. I was so shocked." Chloe says in disbelief.

I turn to her. "You were there?"

"Yes. He, Brian, Jacob, and I were walking to class together then it happened." She says.

"What happened?"

She looks down, nervously "I think it's best if you hear it from him."

"That's the problem! He never tells me anything. That is why I even got angrier last night." I exclaim.

"You guys haven't talked since then?" Chloe asks.

"Yes, well this morning when I woke up to red rose petals on the bed and all around the bedroom floor," I say.

"Awww." They all say.

"Then he also asked if I was going out and I told him so he was like when are we going to talk and I was like anytime you're ready. I left and when I got into the car, I received this." I show them the 'I love you' text.

"Awwwwww!" They all exclaim again.

I shake my head. "You guys are not helping the situation."

My phone starts ringing and I see Jacob's name on the caller id.

"Sup?" I speak as I answer.

"Why the hell is Nicole not picking up her phone?" He asks.

"Hello to you too, Jake-ass." I roll my eyes.

"Where are you? Brian booked a London Bus Tour at five pm." He says.

I look at the girls who now have their attention on the tv."We'll be there."

"Good, make sure to bring Chloe along." He says.

"And if I don't?" I ask, sassily.

"Why are you so annoying? If you don't I'll make sure I post that picture of you when you were six and had your front teeth missing. I have it on my phone." He threatens.

"You wouldn't dare!" I laugh, remembering the picture.

"Try me, Milly." He hangs up.

"That was Jacob. The guys want to hang out later." I inform the girls.

****

"Hi, girls!" Brian exclaims as he sees us. Chloe, Jasmine, Nicole, and I are at Westfield London. We just finished shopping and the guys are here to pick us up for the London Bus Tour.

I bought Rob's girlfriend a beautiful red dress which I know he's going to love.

I climb on the bus and hug Brian, Ian, and Jacob. "Where's Liam?" I ask Rob as I sit beside him.

I glance at Chloe and Jacob as he speaks. Jacob has his hand on her waist, whispering something in her ear while she blushes deeply.

"He's with Tyler. They are meeting us at our first stop." Rob answers my question.

"Where is that?" Jasmine asks.

"The London Eye." Brian sings.

"I can't believe that I'm on a tour bus in my own city." Chloe laughs.

We're at the top of the bus, it's convertible which means we can really see the streets, the places, and the people walking by. The fresh cold air is hitting us and blowing my hair.

****

The London Eye

"We're here!" Nicole says.

As I jump down the bus, I see Colton, Tyler, Emily, and Liam.

"Tyler!" I run over and jump on him.

"I miss you too, Amelia." He laughs and hugs me back.

"Brian, can you please snap us with your phone?" I sweetly ask Brian because he has really good photography skills.

"Sure." He pulls out his iPhone X and snaps Tyler and me.

And just then everyone starts taking pictures.

"Smile, idiot," Nicole says to Liam holds her phone to their faces. He smiles and she takes the selfie. "Man, Amelia is one lucky bitch." She says as she looks at the picture.

Obviously, my boyfriend is handsome.

"Liam do you want to snap a picture together?" The question pops out of my mouth.

He looks at me. "Sure."

"Where's your phone?" He pulls it out of his pocket and I collect it and give it to Nicole.

"Okay say 'cheese'." She says.

I laugh and Liam pulls me closer to him. Nicole takes the picture and he goes behind me, wrapping his arms around me from behind. He looks at me lovingly while I smile.

Click, I hear a camera sound and flashlight in our direction.

"Paparazzi." Emily gasps.

"He's not paparazzi. He's just a photographer." Tyler says.

"Oh well, please sir, can you snap a photo of all us?" Ian asks the man, faking a British accent.

We all laugh and come together for the photo. "In 3, 2, 1." I smile and I guess everyone else does except maybe Colton who barely smiles.

"Babe, you need to smile." I hear Emily complain.

I knew it!

"Fine."

"Another one," Tyler says.

The photographer snaps a couple of shots again.

"How much for a printed copy?" Ian asks.

"Five pounds each." The man says.

"Alright, I'll have twelve copies." Ian lets go of the accent, finally!

"That will be sixty pounds."

Ian brings out his wallet and lets out a couple of fifty-pound notes without counting. "Keep the change." He smiles at the man.

That's so generous of him.

We choose our favorite picture and the photographer goes to print the copies.

"Guys let's go," Brian calls. It's our turn to go on the Ferris wheel (London Eye).

"Where's Ian?" Jasmine asks.

"Over here. I'm not getting on that!" He says from a distance.

I frown. "Why?" It will be nice to have all of us together.

"He's afraid of heights," Colton mutters.

"Oh."

We go on the Ferris wheel and as the wheel starts moving, I start a live video on Instagram. Comments suddenly start growing and those heart things.

London is a beautiful city. I admire the wonderful view as we go up.

"Guys, I just wanna say. I'm thankful to have you guys as my friends and I feel like this year is going to be our year. All of us!" Tylers says.

"Awww, we love you Tyler." We all have a group hug.

The ride ends and we go back on the bus to Ian who has our photos.

"Where's our next stop?"

"The London Zoo!" Jacob says excitedly.

"Awww, are you excited to see your family, Jacob?" I ask him and everyone burst into laughter.

He rolls his eyes. "Penguin." He insults.

"That was the worst insult ever, cous." Tyler laughs.

"Wait, stop the bus!" Nicole grabs everyone's attention. "I want a teddy bear." She points at a stuffed toy stall.

Rob speaks to the bus driver and the bus stops.

She goes down and we all follow her.

"I want this one." She grabs one.

Nicole's outfit

"That's not even a teddy bear. It's a gingerbread man." I say, grabbing one to check out.

Everyone starts going around to check out the place. Emily is wrapped in Colton's arm, Chloe and Nicole are laughing at something, Liam and Brian are also laughing.

Everyone is just doing their thing.

"I like your boots," Tyler says.

"Than you." I smile.

Amelia's outfit

"I'm buying this." Ian grabs a cute white teddy and shows it to us.

"I'll get one also for my little sister," Brian says, emphasizing that it's for his sister, not him.

"It's okay if you get yourself a teddy bear, Brian. Nobody's gonna judge." Jas teases him.

"Yeah, man." Colton agrees.

"Shut up, both of you." Brian glares at them.

"Here." Liam hands me a big teddy.

It is so cute. It has a creamy color with a cute red bow tie around its neck.

"I love it, thank you." I hug the teddy with a big smile.

"Something is off between the two of you." Emily blurts.

Tyler instantly raises his palm at her for a high five which she quickly gives. "I didn't want to be the first person to say something," Tyler says.

I clear my throat and start playing with my hair. "Let's go, guys!" Rob calls and I quickly walk away.

"Guys apparently, London zoo is closed," Rob informs after we all got on the bus.

"Let's take a walk on Oxford Street then," Jasmine says.

Emily💘: Is everything good between you and Liam?

Emily texts me so I look at her and quickly type back a reply.

Me: Yeah, yesterday didn't end quite well. It's a long story. We are having a talk later.

Emily💘: Okay, that's good to know.

Me: Yeah.

Emily💘: Good luck, make sure you tell him how you feel about everything. You guys have a beautiful relationship. It needs to be locked forever.

Me: I love him so much.

Emily💘: I know. It's going to be okay.

Me: What if he breaks up with me?

She gives me a look.

Emily💘: That is not going to happen. I assure you.

I hope so.

****

The walk-on Oxford Street ended pretty well. We met a lot of fans and took pictures with them. A lot of girls couldn't keep their hands of Liam.

It was actually pretty fun though. It's nice to have people out there that love me and my friends.

We are now at Sushi Tetsu. It's a five-star Japanese restaurant and I'm having my favorite food in the world which is Sushi. I love Sushi.

"Today was pretty fun," Liam says.

"Yeah, it was." We all agree.

He raises his glass. "To friendship."

"To friendship." We all cheers.

"And to love." He points his glass at me.

"Awwwww." All the girls cooed while blushing like a tomato.

When we finish eating, Liam and I left everyone at the restaurant. They are going to a Casino from there but Lulu and I have to talk.

We are now in the car. "Where are we going?" I ask.

"You'll see." He says simply.

When the car stops, I quickly get out.

"Hyde Park!" I squeal excitedly.

Hyde Park

I remember telling him that it is one of my favorite places in the world. "You remember," I say.

"Yes." He smiles at me.

I push a strand of hair behind my ear. "So?" I awkwardly ask.

"Let's talk." He says.
