The Lovers
Talk To Me
Kay's P.O.V:
I laid in the bed, staring up at the stucco ceiling. He's mad at me...
Correction: He's pissed at me. He slept on the couch! So, I was stuck with my thoughts, remembering last night's events.
Flashback:
"Why the fuck didn't you tell me?" Liam screamed, clearly angry with me. I sat up fast, unable to say anything. I was like a deer in headlights, caught in the half truths I had told him. Yes, I loved him... but a month isn't enough time to spill a life story.
"I..." Guess it's time I opened Pandora's Box.
And open Pandora's Box, I did. I just had to figure out how to word what I wanted to say.
"Val, I think it's time for you to leave." Val looked from him to me and back to him before she disappeared from the room. No one wants to mess with Li when he's pissed. "Now, Kay, I think you need to explain to me why it is my ex knows you... and your family outside of me."
I flinched at the mention of my family... he knew I didn't talk to them. I even went back through my phone after we had sex earlier, seeing a call from my mom and didn't return it. Maybe she was trying to say Danielle would be here.
"I..." I started to say, but it was as if someone had cut my throat off because the words wouldn't come out.
"No more fucking stuttering and shit. Tell me what the fuck is going on!" He yelled, striding over and pulling me up so I was standing. I looked into his eyes and started crying... again. "Fuck, Kay, don't cry... I'm sorry I yelled. I'm just really frustrated." He sat with me and even though I was still crying, I dried my eyes and looked at him.
"I'm really sorry I didn't tell you... but I didn't want you thinking I dated you only because of her." He bunched his eyebrows together, understanding a little of what I was saying. "Danielle used to be one of my best friends... and then we both auditioned for the dancing spot she got..." I looked at me, as if urging me to go on.
"Danielle knows that I'm allergic to peanuts... so, she slipped some in my food so I couldn't go to the audition because I was in the hospital. She got the spot, obviously. But that only started my suspicions about her. I didn't even call her on it." He was intent on not interrupting. He had his thinking face on.
"But then, we didn't talk for a long time... all while she was dancing for you guys and dating you. Then after you broke up, she miraculously appeared on my doorstep. She was the reason people didn't know if Payzer was over or not. She was saying that you were still together and I was supposed to flirt with you and make it seem like you were cheating. The only reason I agreed was because she told me you knocked her up." His mouth formed an O shape but he still never said anything.
"But when I actually started to like you and I started to feel bad, she got pissed. She told my mom I was messing around with you and that you had gotten her pregnant and I was making you choose between us. That pissed off my parents and they iced me out because of it. Even Kasey wanted nothing to do with me." I said, referring to why my older brother and I don't talk.
"They never found out that Danielle lied about being pregnant... she told them she lost the baby. And my family still wants nothing to do with me. So, I stopped dancing, concentrated on my singing and then... decided I didn't need my family. Val, Sami, Rachel, and the other girls became my family. When you asked me out... I couldn't help but say yes... because I was already falling for you. But I didn't think you'd need to know everything that went down with me and Dani." I finished, breathing hard. I expected him to say something but he just got up and walked away.
"Where are you going?" I asked, feeling a bit uneasy.
"To take a shower." By the time he'd finished and I had taken my shower to wash off the chlorine, he was sound asleep on the couch. Fuck.
"Are you just gonna stare at me all day?" I wasn't used to hostile Liam.I quickly looked away, making sure not to say anything else. I got changed first and left the room without him. I typed a quick message to the girls in our group message.
Kay: Breakfast, ladieees?
In a second, my phone was buzzing with replies.
Rach: Of course
Hannnnaaaaahhh: Yeeahh :) Be right down
Samiiboo: Suuureee
Val: Sure. We needa talk anyways.
I closed my phone and went down to the lobby to wait on the girls. I ordered a few stacks of pancakes, some muffins, orange and apple juice, and some pop tarts, knowing the boys would be down soon too.
"What happened, Kay? With Liam, I mean." It was Rachel who finally spoke up.
"I don't wanna talk about it." I laid my head on the desk, hoping they wouldn't ask anymore.
"It helps to not keep stuff bottled up." Hannah smiled and somehow, that pissed me off. I bet all is just fucking peachy in the land of Hannah and Zayn.
"Fuck off, Hannah. I said I don't wanna fucking talk about it! Or else I'll cry and then my make up will smudge and then I'll look a mess as well as be a mess." They all stared at me like I was crazy. "Shit went down, okay? Sorry, Hannah." I said, my face still on the table. They all started eating and I just sat there. But then the boys came around the corner and Liam was right behind them. He didn't even look at me. I pushed my belly ring in circles, easily since my stomach was showing. It was something I did when I was nervous.
"What's going on here?" Harry smiled, kissing Val's cheek.
"Breakfast and girl talk." Val smiled back at him. Damn their happy relationship.
"Hey, is that Paul?" Zayn asked, sitting down and eating a pop tart off the tray. The big guard was making his way over.
"Yep." Niall murmured, smiling at Sami. Hmm...
But Paul never talked. He just stationed himself right next to our table, looking out over us.
"Hey, mate, you okay?" Liam asked. I just wanted to kiss him right then and there. I did notice Lou and Rachel were being a bit awkward though.
"Yeah. You guys are on full watch again." Paul said, looking through his black Ray Bans.
"Why?" So, it was only me he wasn't talking to then.
"Because Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dumber went out and got caught by paps." He said, pointing at Niall and Sami but never looking at them.
"Wow. Thanks, guys." Lou said, cutting his gaze at them but they only laughed.
"Can someone tell me what happened at the Modest! meeting yesterday?" I asked, looking around. i was extra curious.
"Um... Danielle cut a deal with management. They want her to dance for us again." Zayn said, looking away. "Didn't Liam tell you?" All eyes turned on him and I breathed out, counting to ten to control myself from crying.
"We... aren't exactly talking right now." I looked down, playing with my belly ring again.
That was the last we talked on the subject. No one else said anything. But they all started other conversations. I excused myself to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were red and my skin was unusually pale. I choked on the cry I was holding back. I finally let them go, streaming down my face.
Tonight was the guy's first performance. Maybe... maybe I should go home on our way to Florida, the next spot on the tour.
