Tell Me A Lie
Chapter 4
~ Harry's POV ~
Friends. that sounds alright. OF COURSE i wanted to date her and i wanted to make her mine, but i understood her. It was sweet how she was looking out for herself, and a little bit refreshing. Most girls just want to "get with me" but i felt safe with her. No funny business. As we walked back into the room i felt all eyes on us. I looked over to Capri and she was blushing a mad shade a red. She was adorable.We walked over to the circle and i gave a reassuring look to Louis telling him, it was okay.
After what felt like hours of talking, Capri's phone rang, she saw the ID and smiled.
"It's Mason!!" she squeaked. She got up and left the room pressing the phone to her ear.
"Who?" Louis asked.
" Her best friend, besides me. They have known each other since preschool. And today is her birthday so that must be a birthday call." replied Jade. Jealousy rushed through me. And then I realized what she had said.
"Her birthday? Today?" I asked and I started to feel bad that she was spending it here with us and not with her closest family and friends.
"Yeah, and she is turning 18" Jade responded. Oh.
~ Capri's POV ~
I walked out of the room and pressed the phone to my ear.
"MASON!" I screamed.
"BOO! Happy Birthday! Hows it going?" he asked.
"Really good actually. and thank you I am finally 18!!"
" I am so happy for you! Jade told me you guys are in LA is that right?'
"Yeah it is! She took me to a One Direction concert, and I am backstage with the band right now! Harry Styles asked me out, but I told him we could only be friends and all, so yeah. I wish you were here though!!"
"Well you'll see me soon enough! don't worry Boo. I promise!! Well I don't want to keep you waiting so I am gonna go okay?"
"Okay. I love you Masy"
"I love you too Boo. Happy Birthday" and with that he hangs up. I locked my phone and i walked back into the room with the band. It was quiet at first until Niall screamed.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Hahaha thanks Niall." i giggled. They all jumped in and started singing Happy Birthday to me. I felt tears sting my eyes, and i noticed i was crying because I didn't deserve this. My life sucked, and these people I don't even know that well were singing Happy Birthday to me, because my dad was too drunk to care. At this point i was full on crying, i felt warm arms wrap around me and another body joined in. Another, then another, three others came and it turned into a group hug. I felt for the first time that I was loved.
~ Back At The Hotel ~
The boys went back to their room, and me, and Jade were in sweats and, tank tops ordering pizza, because we are starving. I set down the phone after ordering and heard a knock on the door. I got up and expected it to be one of the boys, but when i opened the door i saw a face that I had been wanting to see for a long time now. Mason.
"Hey, Boo!! Happy Birthday!!" He yelled.
"Mason! What are you doing Here!?" I responded throwing myself in his arms. He picked me up and swung me around giving me a kiss on my forehead.
"Jade called me, and booked a flight to come and surprise you. Which I did, very successfully." he answered. My emotions are all over the place, but only one is really showing through. Happiness.
"EEHHH" I screeched, really loudly. I covered my mouth with a loud clamp and started cracking up. Mason did too. I loved his laugh. Then Harry ,Niall, Zayn, Liam, and Louis come out of their rooms with worried looks on their faces. I just laughed harder. They walked over and smiled. They clearly were enjoying my weirdness.
"Whats going on over here?" Harry asked.
"Oh, umm sorry, this is Mason. He came from New york to surprise me for my birthday!" I said with a big smile on my face.
"Hi, so you guys must be One Direction... Right?" Mason asked.
"That's us..." Harry responded. He seemed annoyed. He glanced at our hands. I was still holding Mason's. That's probably why.
"Let me guess. Your Harry? Zayn, Niall, Louis, And Liam right?" Mason guessed. And he was correct.
"Yeah. Good Job mate." Liam responded.
"JADE!! PIZZA IS HERE!" I yelled to Jade from inside. She came out and saw Mason, winked at him, and payed the pizza guy.
"Glad you could make it Mason. Would you like to come inside and enjoy some pizza?" Jade asked in a subtle tone.
"I would love to" he responded pulling me into the room. I waved bye to the boys and walked inside, shut the door, and locked it.
~ Mason's POV ~
The look on Capri's face was one to remember. I loved making her happy, and as her best friend she should always be happy. With no other exceptions. She was absolutely glowing. It was just radiating off her skin. She was wearing a pink tank top, with gray sweat pant, her long blonde hair was up n a sloppy bun, and her bracelets were on her wrists just as usual. Then i saw it. A big purple bruise was left on the back of her shoulder. I was now furious.
"What the hell is this?!" I ask. She pauses and looks at me with embarrassment.
"Ma-Mason do-" I cut her off.
"Who did this to you?! Are there more?" I said yelling this time.
"Yes." She pulled up her shirt and her bruises were exposed. This was no mistake these were man-made. And whoever did this was going to pay. Jade then walked into the room and dropped the plates and cups.
"What are these bruises doing on your body!?" She exclaimed. Tears were flooding Capri's face.
"I'll tell you just sit down." she said. We did what she asked and sat on the couch she followed and sat with us.
"6 years ago on my brothers 19th birthday he was beaten to death by a group of people. Well a month or so after that my mom left me and my dad for a 25 year old yoga instructor. My dad got super depressed, and he turned to alcohol, which you guys know. But what you don't know is that he would beat me. Really badly. And when i was 12 he did something much worse. He broke my pelvis by raping me. And since then he would come home, beat me, pass out, and get up at 12 in the morning to drink with his buddies. So know you know."
Now she was crying into my chest, and all i could do was hold her, and promise her that he would never hurt her again, and i am known for keeping my promises.
