Chapter Ten.
(1+ comments and I'll post Eleven tonight!)

Cassandra's POV

I turned around after the final chord and looked straight at Liam.
His brown eyes were facing the ground and he looked everywhere but me. The crowd went wild and the boys rushed onto the stage, Harry grabbing the mic from the stand and yelling "CASSANDRA ABERNATHY, EVERYONE!"
They cheered even louder. The concert continued and so did the tour, along with the silence eminating from Liam.

------------------------------------------------------

"Zayn, me love!" I yelled, plopping down next to him on the bright green couch of the tour bus. He smiled at me and pointed to the TV.
It was on MTV and he was watching Jersey Shore.
"They're still not as sexy as me.." Zayn said, eyes glued to the tellie.
I laughed and tweaked his nose.
Niall walked in and sat next to me, hugging me.
It had been two weeks since the first concert and Niall and I had become increasingly more like brother and sister. Zayn and I had grown closer, too.
But every time we got really close, he would get this look in his eyes and pull away. I wondered if I was doing something wrong, but I really couldn't tell.
Sometimes I wondered if maybe he felt something for me, but then I shook the thought. I was sure he didn't.
That night, Louis brought his new girlfriend, Eleanor, to dinner.
I smiled and shook her hand, welcoming her to our small family. She was really nice and very easy to talk to. After dinner Louis told us all the story about how he had been talking to Eleanor and she would be with us for three days, until we got to our concert in her hometown.
I didn't mind sharing my room with Eleanor.
I walked over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and just as I got there, the door swung open and Liam came out, running into me. We just stood there, our bodies pressed together. His eyes sparkled and he just stood there, looking at me.
I waited for insecurity to take over, being stared at the way that I was. But it just didn't.
I loved him, and he loved me.

No offense to Perrie and Dannielle, like I've said, they just aren't their girlfriends in my story. At least for now... o.O foreshadowing!

Chapter Nine.
(1+ comments and I'll post Ten tonight!)

Cassandra's POV

"Oh, how I wish, that was me..."
I'd imagined this moment in my head for five months.
I thought I would jump into Liam's arms and run off into the sunset with him... but I guess I had never added me having a boyfriend into the equation.
Liam's gorgeous eyes bore into mine and the oxygen in my lungs was forced out in less that a millisecond.
"Cass... I love you. I've always loved you."
Liam Payne was admitting feelings for me.
I started hyperventilating.
"I want you to be with me. You don't look at Niall the way you look at me. I'm the one for you, Cass, and you know it. I'll treat you better."
Oh. My. God.
He looked at me expectantly and I had no power over my body, no way to react.
Finally, I regained control and pushed him to an arms-length distance gently.
Pain shot through his eyes as he looked at me.
"Liam... I.. I'm w-w-with Niall.." I barely got out before running out of the room. So much for our last rehearsal.
When I got home I went up to Niall's room. I needed my boyfriend. I needed him to be the sweet, caring, considerate Niall that I had fallen for so that I wouldn't go running back to Liam.
I opened his door and saw him passed out on his bed. I walked over and could smell the stench of alcohol from 5 feet away.
I sighed and looked fondly at my boyfriend. He had drool down his chin and he was snoring. His arms and legs were spread over the entire bed and his blonde hair was a mess.
I smiled. He meant so much to me.
My smile faded quickly. Did I possibly only feel a sisterly love for Niall?
Was it Liam I was in love with?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, it was the day of our first concert and I was so nervous that I could've puked all over my brand new emerald green dress. I spun my golden bracelets around my arms trying to take deep breaths when Niall came up behind me.
"You'll do great, Cass."
Niall and I had been getting along better, but we rarely kissed. I think he was starting to feel the sibling love the same way I was. That was good, that meant that we could (hopefully) be friends after our inevitable breakup.
Things with Liam, however, weren't going as smoothly. He had gone back to refusing to even look at me. I wondered if he would look at me during our duet.
I figured that management would chew him out if he didn't, so odds were that he would. I didn't know whether or not I wanted to be feeling this way about Liam, all I knew was that I did.
Niall walked back into his place backstage and I walked on slowly as the music started. I picked up my microphone and sang the first line softly.
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air...
The nerves melted away with just one line, and the rest of the intro just floated out.
If I should die before I wake, it's 'cause you took my breath way,
losing you is like livin' in a world with no air.
I turned and saw Liam walking onto the stage, mic in hand.
His brown eyes drove holes into mine as they collided, passion and hurt consuming the color in his eyes.
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave. My heart won't move, it's incomplete.
Wish there was a way that I could make you understand.
I strode across the stage to get closer to Liam and stared straight into his eyes as I sang. His eyes showed the inner battle, as I was sure mine were showing the same. I love you, but I just can't love you.
But how do you expect me, to live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you, it's so hard for me to breathe.
I let myself get lost into the song and when it ended I realized how close Liam and I were to each other. Our bodies were pressed together and our breathe was coming in short breaths. The crowd loved it.
When the song ended, the entire stadium erupted in applause and screams and it didn't stop until the rest of the boys came out onto stage and shushed them.
Niall didn't look the slightest bit bothered by what had just happened but Zayn looked like he had just watched a puppy get shot. I made a mental note to ask him later what was upsetting him.
The boys left the stage again and a guy from backstage handed me my guitar and I walked towards the end of the stage and sat on a stool that was there.
It was time for me to release my first single.
Now that you can't have me, you suddenly want me.
Now that I'm with somebody else, you tell me you love me.
I slept on your doorstep, begging for one chance.
Now that I finally moved on, you say that you've missed me all along.
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breakin',
you only want me 'cause I"m taken.
You don't really want my heart, no you just like to know you can.
Still be the one who gets it breakin', you only want me when I'm taken.
You're messin' with my head, boy that's what you do best.
Sayin' there's nothing you won't do to get me to say yes...
You're impossible to resist
But I wouldn't bet your heart on it.
It's like I'm finally awake, and you're just a beautiful mistake.
Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breakin',
You only want me 'cause I'm taken.



Author's Note:
Yes, I realize that Taken is sung by the boys.
Not in my stories. No hate comments, thanks! :P
Also, I am aware that Zayn, Liam, and Louis have girlfriends.
No offense to Perrie and Dannielle, like I've said, they just aren't their girlfriends in my story. At least for now... o.O foreshadowing!

Chapter Eight.

Cassandra's POV

Things with Niall didn't get better. We fought constantly and I always ended up crying in my room with Zayn trying to comfort me. Rehearsals with Liam for our duet continued.
To be honest, I hated rehearsals. The way he sang to me was like he meant every word of the song. But I knew he didn't.
It was Christmas Eve and Liam and I only had a few more rehearsals before the first concert of the tour that started on January 1st.
I walked into the room and Liam was sitting there surrounded by the background girls. They were all busy trying to get his attention but he was kind of staring off into the distance. Something was on his mind.
I coughed awkwardly and the girls scooted away from Liam to take their places at the background mics.
Liam's eyes lit up when he saw me but something seemed to cross his mind, clouding the happiness in his gorgeous eyes.
After rehearsal I grabbed my jacket and went to leave but Liam grabbed my hand to stop me.
"Cass... I.. I have to get this out. I need you to know th-"
He was cut off by the sound of my phone going off.
"Hold that thought, Liam," I said, noticing that it was a call from Niall.
"Hey babe!" came the voice of my boyfriend, I could hear partying in the background. "What are you doing, Niall?"
He giggled drunkenly. "Just chillin with some girlzzz... and yooou? How was rahursal wif mah homie Liam?" he hiccupped and I hung up the phone, tears springing into my violet eyes.
I looked back at Liam and faked a smile like everything was alright.
"Liam, can you just tell me that later? I really have to go..."
----------------------
When I got home, Zayn was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. He looked so upset, it hurt me to see the pain in his expression.
"Z, babe, what's wrong?" I asked, crossing the room to pull him into my arms. My voice startled him and he attempted to wipe away the tears, thinking I wouldn't notice he had been crying.
He finally gave up, realizing that it was too late to hide. He pulled his face close to mine so that our lips were almost touching but immediately pulled away.
"I'm sorry, Cass. I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me."
For the rest of the night he refused to talk to me about it so we just laid on the couch with his head in my lap watching movies.

Zayn's POV

After falling asleep in Cassie's lap, I decided I had to vent to someone about this. Someone I could trust. Harry.
"Hey, Hazz, can I talk to you about something?" I asked as we were walking to the rehearsal studio, trying to sound casual about it.
He looked at me, a bit confused but nodded his head.
"Well... It's Cassie. I... I know it's horrible but I..."
I looked into Harry's eyes, not knowing how to finish that sentence, how to put my feelings into words to make him understand that I wanted Cass to be mine. I wanted her to kiss my lips, hold my hand, and call me her boyfriend.
Harry stopped walking and looked at me as understanding crossed his face.
"Zayn..."
"I know she's with Niall. And Niall's a great guy... I just don't think he's right for her. No, I know he's not right for her, Hazz. I am."

Cassandra's POV

Christmas came and went and before I knew it, it was almost the big day of our first concert.
I walked into the rehearsal building to finish my last run-through of No Air with Liam and I heard a guitar coming from our studio, not playing anything like I'd heard before.
Liam's voice reached my ears and I sighed. I love his voice more than any other.
He takes your hand, I die a little
I watch your eyes, and I'm in riddles
Why can't you look at me like that?
I stopped walking and listened to the lyrics.
When you walk by, I try to say it
But then I freeze and never do it
My tongue gets tied, the words get trapped
I hear the beat of my heart getting louder whenever I'm near you
My heart started beating like crazy. Is this about... No. It couldn't be about me. Could it? I was just dreaming. I walked into the studio, expecting him to stop when he saw me but he didn't.
His brown eyes bore into my violet orbs, burning with passion, and he kept playing, singing the song straight to me.
But I see you with him, slow dancin'
Tearin' me apart 'cause you don't see
Whenever you kiss him, I'm breaking
Oh, how I wish that was me.
He stood up, walking towards me slowly, still stumming the guitar slowly, his eyes never leaving mine for a second.
He looks at you the way that I would
Does all the things, I know that I could
If only time could just turn back
'Cause I got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you.
He sang the chorus again, the pain showing in his eyes as he looked at me. Then I knew without a doubt... this song was for me.
Oh how I wish that was me with my hands on your waist while we dance in the moonlight
I wish it was me that you're callin' around 'cause you wanna say goodnight
'Cause I see you with him, slow dancin'
Tearin' me apart 'cause you don't see...
A confusing amount of billions of different emotions pulsed through my thin frame. How was I supposed to feel about this!?
He got extremely close to my face, quit playing the guitar, and whispered the last line.
"Oh, how I wish, that was me..."

Chapter Seven.

Cassandra's POV

"Vas happenin', Cass?" my best friend said, picking me up off the ground and spinning me around.
"ZAYN MALIK PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" I screamed, laughing and playfully hitting his back.
He put me down, curtsying. "As you wish, m'lady!"
Zayn and I had been spending so much time together the past few weeks. He had quickly become my best friend. He was especially there for me when Niall and I got into a fight, which was happening more often lately.
Right after Zayn put me down, Niall walked into the room.
I walked over to him, wrapping my arms around my boyfriend's chiseled chest. "What's up, Ni?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to eat at that cafe over on Westbrook Avenue?" he said, kissing my cheek. Great, he was in a good mood. I smiled.
"Well.. I wouldn't mind going out to lunch with you, but could we go somewhere else? You know I don't like the food at that cafe..."
The happy look disappeared from his face. "I don't know why you have to be so d*mn picky, Cassandra."
I sighed. "Niall... please don't. I just wanna eat somewhere else. Is that alright?"
"No."
"Well, fine." I was losing my patience. "I guess we just won't eat lunch together then. Have fun at that cafe with your freaking curly fries."
I saw his jaw tighten and he barely managed to spit out the word "fine" before walking out of the apartment and slamming the door behind him.
Zayn just stood there, mouth a centimeter from the floor. His eyes moved slowly from the previously slammed door to my tear-rimmed violet eyes.
As soon as he saw the tears in my eyes he came over to hug me close. "Shh... it's okay, Cass. It's just one fight."
I sat on the couch, still leaning against Zayn as he sat down next to me.
"But it's not just one fight! We've been fighting so much lately. We drove over to Ellis Island the other day and the whole way there we couldn't decide on a single song we would listen to. He refused to listen to anything I liked and he played all of the songs that he knows I can't stand."
Zayn looked at the floor, not knowing what to say so I just continued talking.
"He says that I'm always out with my friends, but I'm really not. You guys are the only people I ever hang out with! Lately he's been going out to clubs and coming home around 3 a.m... I just don't know what to do!"
I burst into tears and pulled Zayn closer, soaking his shirt. He hesitated at first but then wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry, Cassiebear. I'm here."
Niall and I had been dating for 3 months. Well, technically 4 months and 12 days.
I'd arrived in NYC in August, and that same month Niall and I had started dating.
It had been almost 5 months since I'd joined the boys and Christmas was just around the corner. I'd already gotten Niall a new set of guitar strings and a bunch of special picks for his present.
---------------------------------
A few hours later I was in my room when I heard Niall's door open and shut. I walked out and was about to knock on his door to ask if we could talk when I heard his guitar strum.
He started playing something I didn't recognize. I liked the tune.
His creative side always came out when there was a problem in our relationship. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.
I sat down outside his room and listened as the guitar continued and then his voice drifted through the door.
We've got a bit of love/hate
Take me to the edge, then you hit the breaks
I say it's over one day
Then I'm crawling back begging you to stay
We make up and we break up all the time
I went along with a tune, contributing my part to the song, singing through the door.
I'll say that I hate a song
Then you'll go request it the whole night long
His voice came through the door, finishing the verse for me.
Some people say it's so wrong
But even when we fight, girl, you turn me on.
We make up and we break up all the time.
We're like na, na, na,
then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Always like na, na, na,
then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah....
He paused before adding another verse.
You wanna party too late
When I do the same all you do is complain
You know that it drives me insane,
but when I get with you, girl,
you make it okay.
I sighed and leaned my head against his door.
This relationship could work... right?

Chapter Six Part Two.

Cassandra's POV

We grabbed a football out of the front closet and went out to the back alley of the apartment building that the flat was in.
We spent hours just kicking the ball around and playing around with each other, setting up goals between old garbage cans and playing one-on-one football.
A few times, the black and white ball flew into the air and hit one of us in the face and we would just sit there and laugh for the longest time.
Afterwards we went back inside, still laughing. Liam was doing a twitcam but he shut it off when we walked in.
"Cass, we have our first rehearsal tomorrow... just so you, uh, knew.."
I nodded at Liam and sat down next to him, giving Zayn a look that said 'private time'. He understood.
"Well, I'm gonna head up to bed. Night guys."
We both said goodnight to Zayn and he left the room.
"Cass, I have to tell-" Liam was cut off by Niall walking into the room.
"Hey baby!" he said bubbily. I smiled and kissed his cheek. "I have a surprise for you. Go put something fancy on?"
I looked at the clock. 11:30 p.m.
What could Niall have planned at this hour?
I just nodded and got up, telling Liam I'd be at rehearsal the next day.
After putting on a black dress that was tight down until my hips and then flowed out, I walked down into the living room.
The living room had been completely transformed since I'd walked upstairs.
My eyes slowly roamed the room. There were candles everywhere and Niall's speakers were set up playing a slow song.
The moonlight shone through the window into the living room, too. And, last but not least, my eyes landed on Niall, standing in the center of the room in a tux.
"Lou told me that you missed your prom and ermm.. well.. I did too... so.. dance with me?" he said shyly.
I nodded and he pulled me into his arms, starting to slow dance with me. It was all so perfect. I looked up at Niall to thank him for such a special time, but the passion in his firey blue eyes stopped me.
He brushed the hair out of my face, making me blush and then leaned down to kiss my lips gently.

Liam's POV

I watched from around the corner as he kissed her. I couldn't watch anymore. I walked up to my room and grabbed my pen and paper.
I had to get this out. Somehow. Any way that I could.
I would do it the best way that I could. Through music.

Cassandra's POV

I sighed as Niall's lips moved to meet mine again.
His kisses were so sweet, so innocent and loving.
But I had to be honest with myself.
There were no fireworks.


Author's Note:
So are you guys kinda seeing how the songs are going to be written? Yes? No? Well, if you said no, you're obviously NOT a directioner. Haha just kidding(: you'll all see!

Chapter Six.

Cassandra's POV

"Your first order of business as opening act is going to be a duet. We've taken a poll and the result was that you should sing it with Liam."
I read the text outloud in disbelief.
Niall looked over my shoulder at my phone and then into my eyes, his blue eyes filled with hurt.
"I'm so sorry baby. I would sing a duet with you if I could."
I kissed his cheek and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close protectively.
Liam walked into the room and just stood there, looking at the floor.
"Paul texted you too?" I said quietly.
"Yup."
"Did he say what song he wanted us to do?"
Liam's eyes met mine for the first time in such a long time and for a second I almost thought I saw...longing. But no. That was just my broken heart yearning for him to feel the way about me that I had been trying to not feel for him.
"It's a new song, they uh wrote it for us. It's called No Air. It's erm.. a love song."
I heard Niall suck in a breath. A love duet. Lovely.
I held my boyfriend closer.
"We can get through this. No problem, babe." I whispered into Niall's ear, trying to convince him, and myself, that this wouldn't turn into anything.
-------------------------
Niall took me out to eat and then we went to a movie.
I looked at Niall pretty much the entire time, but when he looked at me, he kept his face far from mine. I had convinced myself that kissing Niall would concrete my feelings for him and I would get over Liam, but Niall just wouldn't kiss me. I understood that, since it was his first kiss, but we had been dating for over two months now.
After the movie Niall walked me over to my room, which was just across the hall from his.
"Look.. Niall. You are amazing. You're hilarious, you make me laugh and smile and this duet with Liam isn't going to change how I feel about you. I love holding your hand and cuddling with you and just being close to you...."
I trailed off, realizing how close our faces had become. His lips were literally centimeters from mine. I slowly started to lean in but he moved to kiss my cheek and quickly went into his room.
I stood there, rejected, for a moment and then went into my room to sit on my bed.
A few hours later I heard strumming coming from Niall's room.
I smiled to myself and walked over, listening through his door.
I keep playing it inside my head, all that you said to me.
I lie awake just to convince myself, this wasn't just a dream.
His voice floated through the air as he sang softly along with the guitar.
'Cause you were right here
And I should've taken the chance
But I got so scared
And I lost the moment again
It's all that I can think about, oh
You're all that I can think about
Is your heart taken?
Is there somebody else on your mind?
I'm so sorry, I'm so confused
Just tell me, am I out of time?
Is your heart breaking? How do you feel about me now?
I can't believe I let you walk away when..
I should've, I should've, oh, I should've kissed you.
I slid down with my back against his door and listened to him sing the rest of the song.
I haven't heard it before. He must've just written it.
After a while I went back into my room and laid there, trying to write a song, but coming up with nothing.
I went over to Niall's door and was about to knock but I heard a snore from behind it and decided to let him sleep.
I walked towards the living room and passed Liam on his way to his room. 
"Cass..." he said, barely audible. I turned around, looking at him funny. He never used my nickname.
"Yeah, Liam?"
"I.. I.. I l.. l-lo... uh lost my headphones..."
I raised my eyebrows. "Uh... okay, I'll keep an eye out I guess..."
He nodded and continued into his room.
Weird.
I walked into the livign room and saw Zayn sitting on the couch watching MTV.
"Heya, Zayn, whatcha doin?"
He turned off the tellie and turned to me.
"Nothin, Cassie. I'm so unbelievably bored. Wanna go do somethin'?"
I nodded.

One Way.
Chapter Five.

Cassandra's POV

After Niall and I started dating, things with Liam took a turn for the worst. He absolutely refused to be in the same room as me.
It had been three weeks since I had joined the boys in NYC and they were about to start their tour, which meant no more time with the boys.
I sat in my room after getting in the shower and pulled on some clothes, putting in my headphones and starting to dry my hair. I started singing along with my iPod.
Close enough to start a war.
All I have is on the floor.
God only knows what we're fighting for.
All that I say, you always say more.
I can't keep up with your turning tables, under your thumb I can't breathe.
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no, I won't ask you, you to just desert me, I can't give you what you think you gave me. It's time to say goodbye, to turning tables.
"Whoa. Cassie."
I turned around and yanked my earphones out of my ears.
"Oh, Lou! You scared me!"
"I knew you could sing, but dammn. Did you take singing lessons after I left?"
"Nope.." I said shyly.
"I want Paul to hear this."
"What!? Lou, no way!"
"Get ready. We're going down there in 15 minutes." With that, he left.
SH*T!
I scrambled to put my makeup on and do my hair.
Twenty minutes later I was sitting nervously outside Paul's office with Niall holding my hand. The rest of the boys were there, too.
Zayn was pulling Louis' hair and Harry was reading a magazine upside down.
Liam sat on the end of the six of us, looking at his hands. I hadn't seen him smile in such a long time.
Before I knew it, I was in front of Paul.
I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and past
Tonight...
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Coming morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound...
All of the boys' jaws were on the floor except for Louis, who had a smirk on his face.
Paul smiled and grabbed my hand. "How would you like to be the opening act for One Direction?"
I looked at him like he had just asked me to swim to the moon.
"Wh-What?"
He just nodded. "As long as you can write some songs before the first concert. Can you do that?"
"Uh.. I don't kn-"
Louis cut me off.
"She wrote like fifteen songs when we were younger. They'll work in case she doesn't get anything else done."
If looks could kill, Lou would be on the floor after the way I looked at him when he said that.
"Great!" Paul said and ushered us out of his office.



Author's Note:
Okay so further into the story (like the next chapter XD) Cassandra is going to write some songs. I'm not actually going to write any freaking songs :P so just so you know, they've already been written! All copyright to the people who actually wrote them, but in this story, Cassie's the songwriter. Sweet deal? Sweet deal.

One Way.
Chapter Four.

Niall's POV

Okay, Nialler, now or never. Just do it. You can do it.
"Hey Cass!" I yelled just as she was about to walk into her room.
"Yeah?" she said, spinning around, smiling brightly, her violet eyes sparkling as she looked at me.
I sucked in a breath.
"Do you... uh... want to.... ermmm... food?"
She laughed. "Of course! Let me get changed really quick."
She went to go into her room but I grabbed her hand softly and she turned back around giving me a questioning look.
"Well, Cass, I don't mean like normal.. I mean like.. a... d-d-date." I stuttered, looking at the floor.
I didn't hear anything for a minute so I looked up at her, ready for a look of disgust to be on her face. Instead, I saw that gorgeous smile.
"Sounds great, Nialler!" I hadn't ever seen her smile that big before.
Maybe she felt the same way..?
She kissed my cheek and went into her room to change. I went into the kitchen, a huge cheeky smile plastered on my face and sat by the boys at the kitchen table.
Harry looked at me and then smiled. "She said yes?"
I nodded and jumped up, whooping.
Liam, Zayn, and Louis all looked at Harry questioningly, seeing as I was running in circles around the table.
Harry laughed. "Ni here finally got up the nerve to ask Cassie to go out with him."
Zayn gave me a high five and Louis just kinda laughed awkwardly. Liam forced a smile, which I didn't get, but at that moment, I just couldn't care less.
Cassie walked into the kitchen in a sundress that I hadn't seen before. It hugged her beautiful curves and was strapless. She pulled on a small jacket and grabbed my hand. "Ready to go?"
I was so excited, the best I could do was nod.

One Way.
Chapter Three.

Cassandra's POV

We sat around the dinner table eating some takeout and Harry was sitting next to me, trying to sneakily take some of my food every time I looked away.
I always smacked his hand away and glared at him playfully.
Suddenly, Liam slammed his fork down on his plate and got up.
"I'm done," he said through his teeth, walking away.
I gritted my teeth and got up, following him.
He didn't notice that I was following him until we were in his room.
"Liam!"
He spun around, stunned that I was there.
"Why won't you talk to me!? Why won't you even look at me!?" I practically screamed in his face.
His nose scrunched up and his eyes filled with some emotion that I didn't recognize. "You're right, Cassadee, we don't talk. Would you like to, uh, go hang out with me?"
I just looked at him, shocked.
"Uh. Sure.. When?"
"Now?"
I looked into his eyes. Those eyes that made me melt and I knew there was no way in the world that I could say no.
"Sure."
-----------------------
Liam and I walked down Central Park in the dark in silence.
I looked around at the scenery but I could tell that he was looking at me whenever I wasn't looking at him.
I shivered. I hadn't though to bring a jacket and I was just in a sundress. Liam smiled at me and handed me his jacket. I pulled it around me and smiled to myself.
-----------------------
Liam and I got back to the flat around 9:00 p.m. and all of the boys were playing video games in the den.
We said hi to them and then walked upstairs side by side.
"I guess the least I could do is walk you to your door," Liam said, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. I smiled again, like I had been all night.
"I really am sorry that I didn't really talk to you, Cassie. I don't really know what was going on in my head... you're a really amazing friend."
My breath caught in my throat. Friend?
Friendzoned. Awesome...
With that, he left me to go to his own room and I walked into my room, sitting on my bed, pondering the night's happenings. I guess Liam and I just weren't going to happen.


Author's Note:
Sorry, kinda short chapter. But I had to get a little background with Liam. One vote for Harry, one for Niall. Who's it going to be?
