Marcel's POV

“I'm here to talk about Marcel.”

My heart stops in my chest. My breath gets stuck in my lungs. My body shuts down.

A second feels like a minute. A minute feels like an hour.

Waiting for what she'll says feels like an eternity.

The room is silent. No one is talking.

All I can hear is someone coughing hysterically. It must be Niall. He probably choked on his food.

“Sorry,” Niall croaks, “What were you saying?”

“I need to tell you something about Marcel.

“And what about him?” Louis asks.

What about me? What is she going to say? I'm sure she can hear my heart pounding. It feels like it's going to burst. My ears sound like a drum is banging inside them.

“I know you guys don't really know him. Only Louis and Niall have talked to him...” she starts.

I've talked to them all.

I want to pop out from behind the couch and say that I'm here. I don't want to know what she has to say about me.

What if it's bad?

“But I'm worried about him...” she says.

She's worried about me?

“Why?” Liam says kindly.

“A lot of stuff has happened since I moved here...”

Don't tell them, Cami. Please don't tell them.

“I'm not going to tell you, it's personal.”

Phew.

“But a lot of it was bad... And I thought he was getting better..”

I am getting better.

At least I think I am...

My foot is tingling so badly. C'mon Cam, get to the point. I don't want to be behind here forever.

“And today he was acting so weird. Like he was hiding something from me. He was acting how he acted before... Well, something bad... He didn't talk a lot today, it was like he was deep in thought. Then, he talked to Niall, which he never does. So I was wondering why he was talking to you. What'd he say?”

Oh no.

Niall better be a good liar.

“Um,” Niall mumbles.

I hold my breath.

Don't ruin this Niall.

“He, um, he wanted to go to a football game with me,” Niall says slowly.

I what?

That's the best thing he could come up with? Really? Is it not obvious that I don't like sports?

I wouldn't even be able to go to a football game since I work at the concession stand.

I slap my forehead.

“What was that?” Cami says.

Crap.

I shouldn't have done that.

“There was a spider,” Louis blurts, “I killed it though! No need to worry!”

“Oh... Why does he want to go to a football game?” Cami asks.

“He, uh, wants to get to know me more,” Niall says. He sounds nervous.

“He does?”

“Yeah...” Niall mumbles.

“That's great!! I really hope you can all meet him and become friends with him. He's a really great guy. I think you'd all like him a lot. He doesn't really have anyone but me. It'd be great for him to have some guys to hangout with!”

“Well, if that's it,” Liam says.

“Yeah, that's all. I'm so glad nothing is wrong. I had nothing to be worried about, did I?”

“Nope! Well, we'll see you later!”

“Can I watch you guys rehearse?” she asks.

Dear God.

Can't she just leave?

It's been at least 10 minutes.

I'm going to be stuck in this position forever.

“We're not rehearsing today. Zayn has to, um, go to family game night,” Louis says.

“I thought that was Fridays?” Cami asks.

They're just making things worse. None of them are good liars. I wouldn't have been able to do any better though.

“It was changed to Thursdays. I'll be late if I don't leave soon. I'll walk out with you,” Zayn says.

“Oh, okay. It was nice to talk to you guys again! Bye!”

I hear steps head upstairs and a door shut.

“You're safe, Marcel,” Louis says, taking the blanket off me.

I slowly stand up, stretching out. My back cracks loudly and I can barely stand since my leg is so numb. My whole body is numb actually.

“I can't feel my butt,” I mutter.

Louis laughs and slaps it, “Any better?”

I rub where he hit and laugh, “No, not at all!”

He shrugs, “You have a nice butt. Must've been all the wedgies we gave you.” He smiles.

Even though he's joking about bullying me, I can tell he still feels bad. He's showing a positive in a negative thing.

“Who would've guessed wedgies would make nice butts?” I say, laughing.

It's nice being able to joke around with someone.

I haven't been able to do that for awhile...

Zayn comes back downstairs shortly after.

“That was a close one!” he says.

“I know!” Niall agrees.

“I thought we were gonna get caught,” Liam adds, “And when you made a noise, Marcel, I thought she was going to find out!”

I giggle, “Louis and the spider!”

“It was the best I thing I could think of! I was under pressure!” he says, laughing.

We all start laughing to the point where we can't stop. I have tears streaming down my cheeks. Niall is red and out of breath, and Louis keeps reenacting it.

“You should've seen the look she gave me! It was priceless!” Louis shrieks.

“I'm sure it was!” I say.

Tonight's been a good night.

Cami truly cares about me, which I never doubted.

And I think I've made four new friends.

I haven't laughed like this in awhile.

It feels amazing.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

I hope you all like this!! Sorry it's short, I haven't had any time to write and I had a little writer's block! But you all kept commenting and messaging to update, so I did!

I'm not sure when I'll update again. I'm taking a break from all social networks. Instagram, Twitter, Wattpad, Youtube, everything. I need to focus on school. It may be for a week, it may be more. I'm not sure. I'm deleting all the apps from my phone so I don't go on them. Hopefully I won't be gone too long.

I might check my messages on wattpad a few times, but that's it.

Thank you so much for 4 million reads, that's amazing! Thank you so much!! :) I love you all!
