The Girl In The Dirty Shirt Liam Version

Chapter 124

I blinked looking at Liam in shock before an unwanted tear slid down my cheek.

Liam looked back at me just as horrified.

"Ly, I-"

"Get the fuck out" I glared at him

"Let me-" he started and I raised my hand pointing at him "Don't fucking touch me and get the fuck out of my house."

He sighed and turned walking towards the door.

"And leave your keys" I added

He didn't argue, just grabbed his coat and left.

I locked the door behind him and let out a shaky breath as more tears slid down my cheeks; Liam had never hit me before, not on purpose; I didn't know what to do.

After a few minutes I thought about putting on my coat and going to find Liam, it was my fault he was mad anyway; and then I saw my red cheek in our bedroom mirror.

I changed my mind and picked up the phone dialling a number.

Half way through dialling I frowned shaking my head.

"What the fuck am I doing?" I muttered "Noel's not going to give a shit"

I dialled another number and waited.

"Lo?"

"Hi" I said quietly

"Lyla?" He asked

"Yeah, I'm sorry, are you busy?"

"No, is everything alright?"

"Umm" I swallowed hard "Not really no"

"Where's Liam?"

"I uhh...I kicked him out; I'm sorry, I didn't know who else to call, I know it's Christmas; I'll....I'll just let you go"

"Lyla, just wait, I ain't doin' nothin', I'll be there in a few minutes"

"Are you sure?"

"Ten minutes"

He hung up and I sighed putting the phone back.

I went downstairs and put the kettle on the stove and the doorbell rang.

I went to the phone and buzzed him in the gate before I met him at the door.

I giggled seeing him all bundled up as he came in the house.

"Hiya babe" he smiled shrugging off his coat as I closed the door locking it again.

"Hi" I smiled weakly before giving him a kiss. "Merry Christmas, Guigs"

"Happy Christmas, love, you're in England now"

I laughed hugging him tightly "You didn't have to come"

"Course I did, y'kicked Liam out, had t'hear why"

"I just did"

I wasn't about to tell him it was because Liam slapped me.

"It's Christmas Ly"

"I know"

"What'd he do t'get kicked out on Christmas?"

I sighed; he wasn't going to give up.

"He slapped me after I slapped him"

"Lyla..." he looked at me concerned "That's not okay"

"I know that" I nodded moving the whistling kettle off the heat "Which is why he's not here"
