Be The One

I grabbed my backpack out of the closet and put some jeans, a t-shirt and some shorts in it. I grabbed my phone and shoved it in my pocket, I wasn't going to deal with my dad drunk again.

I put my sweatshirt on and carefully climbed out my window apparently not careful enough cause I feel in a rose bush. Thorns were all over the palms of my hands but I didn't care, I got up and continued to walk down the empty street. I couldn't go to Laura's house because if my dad found out I left, my best friends house would be the first place he would look. I decided to go to Liam's house he would never look there.

Liam's house was a few blocks away but since it was dark and cold outside I guess it would seemed longer. I put my hands in my pocket, trying to ignore the fact that I couldn't feel them anymore.

It took me a good 15 minutes to get to his house. All the lights were on which made sense considering it was only 8:30 on a weekend. I climbed over the fence trying not to make noise. I knocked on Liam's window not know that the rest of the boys where there.

"Hey Leila what brings you here."

"Shut up and let me in." I climbed through his window only to see Niall, Zayn, Louis and Harry looking at me awkwardly.

"Leila you're bleeding!" Niall yelled pointing at my hands.

I sat down On Liam's bed, looking down at my hands "Ohh yeah I feel on a Rose bush on my way here"

Liam stood up and opened his drawer pulling out a first aid kit. "Let me see your hands" I extended my hands letting him rub alcohol wipes and putting bandages on my cuts.

"Thanks Liam"

"No prob" He sat back down on his bed grabbing a Notebook and pen and setting it on his lap.

"So what were you guys doing?" I asked trying to get the attention of myself.

Niall cheerfully answered my question while chewing on a candy bar "We were working on a new song."

"Yeah I think its our best one yet!" added Louis.

I looked at Louis jeans, I have always loved his sense of style.."What's the song called?"

"Live while we're young.." Harry said slowly with his raspy voice.

Niall looked out the window while

Zayn stood up and grabbed his backpack putting his notebook in and zipping it up "Guys I think we should get going its getting late and I have to drive you all home"

Harry, Niall and Louis all stood up and grabbed their stuff "Bye Liam see yah tomorrow at practice" and then shut the door behind them..

Liam looked at me with his beautiful brown eyes and I knew exactly what he was going to say.."So Leila what happened this time?"

"Alcohol...Dad" Those were the only words I had to say because he knew what I was taking about. Everytime my dad comes home drunk with a bunch of friends I come to Liam's house, I feel safe here.

"Okay what do you want to do now?" He asked me pulling a mattress out from under his bed.

I pulled some shorts out off my backpack "Sleep, Liam turn off the lights and Don't look I need to change" I knew he would try to look that's why I made him turn of the lights. I unbuckled my belt and took my jeans off slipping on my shorts and crawling under the blankets on the mattress Liam pulled out from under the bed.

"Goodnight Leila"

"Goodnight Liam."
