The Girl In The Dirty Shirt

Chapter 100

"Y'lied t'me"

"Babe I-"

"You lied right to my fucking face" he said quietly as he stood up.

I took a step back swallowing hard; whatever he was going to do, I had coming and I definitely deserved it, but I couldn't stop my heart from pounding in my chest.

"Babe-" I tried again, my voice was shaky and uneven.

"Were you ever gonna tell me?”

"How much did you-?"

"All of it" he snapped "Every fucking word"

"I..." I started, but I couldn't think of what else to say. "I'm sorry" I whispered

"Sorry y'did it or sorry y'got caught?" He asked taking another step forward.

I instinctively took one back. "Liam..." I whispered, I was afraid to raise my voice above a whisper.

"Don't even try" he shook his head "I ain't gonna believe a word y'say anyway"

He walked around me towards the door and I turned around calling after him. "At least let me explain"

"Explain what?!" He yelled turning back around. "How y'fuckin' cheated on me with my own fuckin' brother!?"

I went to speak and he cut me off.

"I always had a fuckin' feelin'" he muttered shaking his head "But I trusted you, even after y'gave me shit about the German bird"

"Liam" I said again

"You're a fuckin' hypocrite!" He yelled "An' that's sayin' somethin'; I ain't never cheated on you; I loved you"

"Loved?" I asked quietly

"Yeah" he nodded shrugging his eyebrows "An' t'think I felt guilty" he muttered before turning on his heel and walked out.

I ran after him stopping in the hallway watching him walk away. I didn't know what to say even if he did want to talk to me; which he obviously didn't.

I went back in the room and collapsed on the bed crying my eyes out.
Everything Liam had said was true, every word, but the thing that ripped my heart in half was the fact that he had said loved, not love; loved. As in past tense; he didn't love me anymore, not that I blamed him, I wouldn't love me either.

I got myself under control and my worry immediately went to Noel; Liam was going to kill him.

I jumped up from the bed and ran down the hall to Noel's room.
I knocked on the door and he answered.
He took one look at me and frowned.

"Lyla, what's the matter?"

"Liam knows" I answered pushing around him.

"Knows what?" He frowned

"About us, Noel!" I yelled

"Y'told 'im?"

"He read my journal"

"Y'wrote about it in your fuckin' journal?!"

"He wasn't supposed to read it!" I snapped

I jumped when someone pounded on the door; I knew exactly who it was and Noel did too.

He turned around and went to open the door; this wasn't going to be pretty.

**

Words flew, fists flew, this just got worse and worse.
Liam disappeared after laying into Noel. He wouldn't even look at me.
I turned to look at Noel and he just glared back.
