Chapter 2

"Let's not pretend that you're alone tonight ( I know he's there and) You're probably hanging out and making eyes (while across the room he stares) i'll bet he has the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dane. she'll say yes…because these words were never easier for me to say or her to second guess, but i guess that i can live without you but without you i'll be miserable at best." 

   "how's this look?" you ask your best friend, Stella. "hot mama" Tonight is the night of your job's gala fundraiser. It has been about a little over a month since Liam left for tour. You're doing okay, keeping yourself occupied, spending time with family and close friends, keeping up with your school work, life is moving onward. "here let's show liam !" you tell Stella while handing her your phone. You throw your black pumps on, adjust your hair and put your hands on your hips. " 1,2,3!" Stella counts "gorgeous" she says. "god do i miss that boy" you huff as you click send. "let's roll" Stella calls out, grabbing your clutch and leading you out the door.

  LIAM

      "gonna be a great show, lads !" niall calls out wile the boys relax in their dressing room. Liam feels a vibration and checks his phone and finds a picture message from katie.        "how did i end up so lucky? you look beautiful babe ! have a great time tonight xx" send.

      Tonight that gala night, Liam remembers, wishing he could have been there to have you around his arm. That feeling intensifies when he realizes that the cocky coworker of hers is going to be there. " UGHH" Liam sighs out loud. "what's up?" Zayn asks in a concerned tone "oh nothing, mate, just thinking about Katie." Liam responds. "hang in there bud" ZAyn nods and pats Liam's knee before getting up. "don't do this Liam" Liam whispers to himself rubbing his eyebrows. Tim. Tim has no respect when it comes to personal space. And he had a bad habit of invading Katie's. There was nothing Liam could do at this point, he was on the other side of the country. But he trusted Katie with his life, Katie, just was too nice sometimes, she liked avoiding confrontation. He just knew Tim would be there, drinking and trying ti dance with his girl.

     The party was in full swing by the time you and Stella got there. you each grabbed a glass of champagne off the passing tray and made your rounds of hellos. "This is some party" Stella leaned in to tell you."yeah tell me about it, I wish Liam were here to see it"you responded "don't do that, no, no" Stella said, snapping me out of my daze. "let's get another glass" she says, leading us to the bar. "hello sexy ladies" a guys voice says behind you guys. "Cant i buy you a drink?" he says skipping his hand around you're waist. " it's open bar, but nice try" you respond while removing his hand. "go breath down someone else's neck, creep" stella snapped and led you to the other bar to mingle. " it's a shame, he'd be such a nice guy if he wasn't so..so…yuck." you tell Stella as you make your way around. If Liam were here, he wouldn't even have the nerve to glance your way. You take a seat at an empty table as stella heads to the dance floor, and see if Liam has responded. " how'd i end up so lucky" you smile and ask yourself the same thing.

This is my first short story based on Mayday Parade’s “Miserable at Best”.  I’m going to post in by verse, just cause other wise its super long. If you like it, feedback is greatly appreciated - Katie

     “Katie, don’t cry, I know you’re trying your hardest & the hardest part is letting go of the times we shared. Ocala is calling & you know its haunting but compared to your eyes nothing shines quite as bright and when we look to the sky its not mine, but i want it, so..”
