All because of YouTube

Next day the lads were going to be in the studio all day, no girls allowed so CJ, Eleanor and I decided to go shopping, not bringing Sophia because she would only make my day bad. “Ooo can we go to Primark?” I asked as we made our way through Oxford Street, the other girls nodding in agreement. Walking along with them I felt needed, I also felt a bit overwhelmed because every so often fans of either me or Eleanor would come over and ask for pictures and autographs, and every time I would pull CJ in with us for the picture, just to annoy her. “Can you not involve me in your little fame?” she finally snapped at me, making me feel a bit bad. “Sorry, I just didn’t want you to feel left out, I’ll stop doing it I promise”, I blurted out, blinking away the tears in my eyes.
Liam’s Point of View:
I felt bad for Karen, Sophia really shouldn’t treat her like that, but then again I was in a bit of a twisty situation, Sophia is my girlfriend and I love her, but Karen is falling for me, I can see that, and I don’t know how to let her down easily. I didn’t want to hurt her, yet I didn’t want to hurt Sophia, meaning I would never win. “What’s wrong mate?” Niall asked pulling me out of the thoughts. “I don’t want to hurt Sophia, but I don’t want to hurt Karen either”, I said sitting down across from him, “What should I do?” he sat there thinking for a bit before looking at me, “Tell Karen the truth, yes it will hurt her, but then she will be able to move on, she won’t if you never speak to her”, he was right, she needed to know we couldn’t be together. “Thanks mate”, I said and got up, finding my phone, dialing her number. “Hello?” she said, “Hello its Liam, can we talk?” I replied biting my lip nervously “Sure, we’re almost back at the studio, see ya there”, she said then hung up. Now all I had to do was wait, and think of what to say and how to say it.
“Hey you wanted to talk”, Karen said as they walked into the studio, several shopping bags at hand. “Yeah, let’s chat out here”, I replied motioning to the hallway, she nodded and sat her bags down before walking out in the hallway and sitting down in the stairway. “Okay so I know you have some sort of feelings for me, and that’s okay but I love Sophia, and as much as I hate seeing how she treats you, she’s been in my life the longest and as I said I love her. I don’t want to hurt you Karen, I just think its best you know how I feel, and I would love to be your friend”, I blurted out, and looking at her face she had no expression other than relief. “Thank you Liam, for confessing this to me, I think it’s exactly what I need, something to help me move on from the major crush I’ve had on you, and I would love to be your friend, just please make Sophia understand that I mean no harm, I can’t stand her bitching towards me”, she said throwing her hands up in the air at the last sentence. I nodded, “I’ll do my best”, and she nodded too, then got up and went back to the studio.
Karen’s point of View
A wave of relief hit me as Liam spoke. Finally I could live on without a feel of jealousy and want every time I saw Liam and Sophia. It honestly used to hurt me because I couldn’t have him, but even more so when Liam ignored the potential friendship between us. “Hello love”, a familiar Irish accent hit my ear as I was sitting on the couch reading ‘Hamlet’ what can I say I’m a sucker for Shakespeare, “Hey Nialler”, I said putting the book away, “How are you?” he asked sitting himself down next to me, “I’m great”, I said and smiled, and it was true. I was great, because I was finally free, and there had been no drama today, as a matter of fact I was fantastic. “I’m hungry, let’s get some Nandos”, I said rubbing my tummy, Niall’s face seemed to light up at the word Nandos, making me laugh, him and his food. “I’m in, Paul; we want to go to Nandos “, Niall said looking at the tall, dark haired Irishman, “Alright, how about we all go? Steven and Mark you guys are coming too”, he said and we all piled into the van, me, Niall and Zayn in the back, Eleanor, Louis and Liam in front of us, CJ, Harry and Steven in front of them and Paul and Mark in the front seats. Getting to Nandos we found the biggest table available and sat down looking at the menu. Constantly feeling Niall’s gaze on mine. Looking over at him swiftly I whispered into his ear so only he could hear, asking if he was okay, he just nodded so I went back to looking at the menu.
Niall’s point of view:
She’s gorgeous, funny and talented, and probably too good for me. I couldn’t help but to look at her, she was an angel, sure she had her rough past with the bullying, depression and panic attacks, but to me she was an angel, Gods creation. As you may all tell I have a major crush on Karen, and I have been ever since I saw her first video, which was a vlog, I think it was right after her friend died in the terror attacks in Norway. I saw how vulnerable she was, and it just made me feel like I needed to protect her, to love her, and to never let her go.
As we got back to the studio, we could see Sophia standing in the room… Oh great, I swear I’m gonna give her an earful if she as much as opens her mouth towards Karen. “Ugh where have you been Liam, I’ve been waiting for you for ages, I hope you haven’t been with that foreign girl”, Sophia said, just as Karen walked in, poor girl looked up at Sophia as she tried to defend herself, “first of I’m Norwegian and proud of it, and secondly I’ve moved on from Liam, he and I will be just friends, nothing more, so I suggest you leave me alone or so help me G…” the first slap came, leaving Karen and everyone else in shock, a few seconds of silence before Karen burst out crying running out of the studio.
Karen’s point of View:
Feeling the stinging in my cheek as her hand hit my cheek, it’s painful, and it sure will leave a mark, but right now I didn’t care, I’d gotten another one of the panic attacks and now I needed to get out of the building and away from everyone upstairs. Hearing Niall shout after me to stop I made my way out in the street, crossing the road, making my way to Hyde park before leaning on a light pole to get my breath to even out, but even that seemed like the hardest task ever. It took a good 10 minutes before my breath was even, and before Niall had managed to catch up with me, “Karen, look at me, look at me, its okay, just breath out”, he said placing his hands on each of my cheek’s letting me rest my hands on his arms, as I breathed out slowly, after a good few seconds I finally managed to steady my breath, “Thank you Niall”, I said and smiled, our faces was inches away from each other, and before I knew it, butterflies, birds, the whole lot, as his lips crashed into mine. At first it took me by surprise, but it didn’t take many seconds before our lips moved in sync. “I’m so sorry I didn’t m…” kissing him again, I pulled him closer to me, not caring if we were in public, feeling him lift me up of the ground I wrapped my legs around his waist, still kissing him, and him kissing me. After a few minutes of hot making out in public, we pulled away and he sat me back on the ground, taking my hand in his, entwining our fingers as we made our way back to the studio.
As we entered the studio hand in hand we got a lot of looks from the lads, Eleanor, Sophia and CJ, and Perrie who must have arrived after I left. “Hello gorgeous”, she said and came over to hug me. Oh she is such a sweet girl. “Now Sophia its time you apologize for your rude behavior towards Karen”, Perrie said wrapping an arm around my waist. “I’m sorry”, Sophia mumbled then went to sit down on the couch with Liam.
