That Magical Summer

Chapter 24

a note: no hate in any possible way towards liam. i love him with all my heart and he would probably be the last person in the world to say the harsh things he said last chapter

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I got uh carrots! Or waffles! Oh oh peas!” Niall spoke briskly from the fridge.

“Just bring whatever!” you yelled back holding Liam’s swelling face in your hand. The impact of your hand was hard enough to make his eye go black, and for him to go out. “Liam,” you muttered, “Are you okay?”

“Here I brought the peas,” he said holding them. You snatched them from his hand pressing it a little too harshly to Liam’s eye.

“Ow!” he shot out in pain.

“Oh oh. I’m so sorry,” you said easing up the tension, “are you okay?” That collected a groan or two from him.

“What does it look like?”

“It looks like I’m a terrible person that should go to hell,” you whispered under your breath. Niall placed his hand on your shoulder sympathetically.

“Don’t say that Y/N,” he whispered throwing his head back in discomfort.

“I am so so so sorry Liam. I don’t know why I did it. I was just angry. And it was over the line-“

“I shouldn’t have said the things I said…” he said before his eyes steadily drifted off again into sleep. You sighed.

“We should let him rest,” Niall suggested helping you to get him on his feet. His head bobbed around in a confused fashion, his eyes squeezed shut. The black eye was becoming purple, and rumpled up his whole face. You led him into one of the empty rooms, resting him softly on the bed. You followed Niall back outside and sat down on the couch.

“God I feel horrible,” you said burying your face in your hands. Niall linked an arm around your shoulder, bringing you in close to him. He breathed lightly on your hair before giving your forehead a sweet kiss.

“He’ll be fine. What he said was stupid. He shouldn’t have said those things-”

“You know they’re not true right?” you said barely in a whisper looking up to face him. You positioned yourself so you could talk straight to his face.

“What?”

“That I’m just using you to get over him. Because I am long over him. And I really like you,” you said causing a smile to appear on his face.

“And I really like you,” he said pressing his soft lips to yours. The feeling his lips gave you is one that you’ll never forget. It made you feel on top of the world, invincible. His hand came up to your face, grasping onto your cheek affectionately. You leaned over him, so that you were straddled on top of him. You giggled against the chaste kiss, as he deepened it a bit more. You could feel his tongue tickling your lips, wanting more. You gladly accepted letting his tongue roam freely around your mouth. You laced your fingers into his beachy hair, as he moaned slightly against your lips.

“We’re ho-“ Louis stopped short as you struggled to get off of Niall, and pull your shirt down over your belly button. Harry covered his eyes and you heard Ellie giggle.

“Where’s Liam?” Zayn asked in a lame attempt to change the subject.

“He’s er in there,” you replied standing up.

“Y/N punched him. He has a black eye,” Niall explained almost a bit proud.

“Why-“

“He said some things that he shouldn’t have-“

“-And I just couldn’t contain myself,” you said putting your head down still a bit frazzled.

“He must’ve been really over the line,” Louis said walking past you with the rest to go check on Liam.

“Are you okay?” Ellie asked quietly as she passed you. You nodded falling back onto the couch with Niall. He held you even closer to him than before.

“We should really be more careful,” he snickered gruffly into your hair.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            You watched his every move. From the climax of his breath, to its downfall. You had to make sure he was okay.  His nose shuddered ever few minutes, before his eyes finally decided to open. His right eye a bit slower than his left, he got them both to process where he was.

“Y/N?” he asked brusquely.

“Liam,” you whispered, “I am so so sorry.”

“You have to stop apologizing,” he said with the best warm smile he could give at a time like this.

“Are you okay?” you asked pressing your pinky finger carefully around his right eye.

“Yeh. I think I’ll be fine,” he said. You stayed in silence for awhile until he spoke again grappling to lift his head inches from the bed. “You can go. I mean you don’t have to be here you know.”

“I know. I just feel really bad,” you paused, “and just because we’re broken up. And I-I have a boyfriend, you have Danielle, it doesn’t mean that I don’t care. About you I mean.” You saw his eyes close again. “Just because of everything that’s happened to us doesn’t mean that I don’t remember all the things we did together. All the fun we had. It was really the best time of my life. And I’m sorry that it’s over, but I still care Liam.” His breathing fell back into the same pattern, signaling that he had fallen asleep again. You sighed, let go of his senseless hand, and walked out of the room.

“What do you say to a girl’s night tonight?” you asked Ellie.

“Hell yeah!” Ellie exclaimed. You laughed.

“Is it okay if you and the boys stay here at your place tonight? Ellie and I wanna do some girl stuff,” you asked walking over to Niall and placing a fond kiss on his cheek.

“Course babe. Whatever you want,” he placed another kiss on your lips, bringing his hands to the back of your waist.

“Get a room!” Harry called from the couch. You laughed pulling away quickly.

“See you tomorrow?”

“See you tomorrow.”

“Come on El. Let’s get out of this pig pen,” you joked seeing Niall scoff. You flashed him a devious grin before walking out the door, to your place.

“What do you wanna do first?” you asked.

“Nails?” she beamed holding up her “Ellie Extreme Nail Kit”. You laughed.

“Lets do it!” You chose a deep burgundy red, that matched perfectly with your skin tone. Ellie on the other hand chose a bright, hot pink that pretty much summed up her whole personality in one color. You turned on your favorite movie, Titanic. You guys loved watching until the end where you would bawl your eyes out. It was kind of one of your traditions. You looked over to her as you finished off your nails with a top coat.

“Soooo you and Louis?” you asked wiggling your eyebrows.

“We’re just uh good friends,” she blushed sticking her tongue out as she carefully painted her left pinky toe, “You and Niall seem to be going strong eh?”

"Yeah I guess,” you stopped, “You know I miss doing this El. I miss hanging out with you. And it’s my fault. I’m sorry I haven’t been doing things with you much…”

“No it’s fine! I get it. You and me have forever. You and Niall just have this summer.”

Just this summer.
