Hurt flashed across all of Liam's features. His baby brown eyes squeezed shut, as to shut out the rest of the world. When he opened them again, they were red and watery. 

Suddenly, he stood up. His body shaking, he stepped passed me and started towards the door of the restaurant. Without saying a word, he left without me.

Sprinting after him, I cried,

"Liam, wait!"

Tears were springing down my face now, and all I wanted was for Liam to hold me and tell me everything was going to be okay. Just like he did on top of the ferris wheel. All I wanted was for him to make me feel safe and secure again.

His body froze by the water fountain right outside the restaurant. His back facing to me, he stood completely still.

"Liam!" I shouted, now panicking a little.

I ran around him so I could see his face now. It was bright red and there were tears all over his cheeks. Tears that were made because of me.

"Liam, please, let me explain!" I said.

"No Zoey. You don't get to explain. I poured my heart out to you and you shut me down. I thought you loved me. Obviously, you don't."

His words hit me like a ton of bricks.

I DID love him.

More than anything, I wanted to say yes. But I couldn't. Not until I told the truth.

Is a relationship a relationship at all if it's all based on lies?

"Please Liam! You HAVE to listen to me. I have a good reason. Please, just listen. I don't want to lose you. I NEED you in my life. I. Love. You." I was now gasping between sentences. 

Surely, my face was puffy and red. 

Confusion all over Liam's face he said,

"You have one minute to explain."

"Liam.... This isn't the right kind of place to tell you this. Please, just- let's go back to the room. I'll explain everything there. I promise."

He seemed to give a little nod of consensus. Then, without a word he started walking the way back to our room.

We were completely silent the whole way there.

All I wanted to do was grab his hand, and give it a reassuring squeeze. But I didn't. It seemed like it would only make him more confused.

He thinks I said no because I didn't love him. Boy, was he wrong... Just like he said to me, I loved him with every fiber of my being. Now, after I've messed everything up, all I had to do was convince him of that I love him more than myself. I don't think he'll ever believe me again though. Not after I said no.

Finally, we reached the hotel room. Sliding out my key, I unlocked the door and walked in. Taking a seat on the bed, I gestured for Liam to come sit next to me. But he just stood exactly where he was, feet firmly planted on the ground.

Liam's Pov

"I'm waiting," I said.

My patience was running thin now. Feeling completely destroyed inside, all I wanted to do was collapse on the ground. My heart had been broken.

Again.

But this time by someone who I truly loved with all my heart. By someone who made me feel like I was just an ordinary person, and not "Liam Payne international superstar" or "Liam Payne, member of the world's biggest boy band one direction".

Finally, she started to explain. 

She was getting really panicked now. I could tell that she was by the way her eyebrows furrowed at the top of her head, and by the way she began talking too fast without pausing to take a breath between words.

"Liam- I just- I don't really know how to say this. And I'm sorry I had to tell you like this, but I guess I had to tell you sometime and I hope this doesn't change any of your feelings for me because I really do love you will all my heart. I needed to tell you this though, before we- you know- get engaged."

Suddenly, as if getting up the courage to tell me something, she took a deep breath in, as to calm herself and said,

"Liam, I'm-I'm pregnant."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My heart stopped beating for a second. She was pregnant? This seemed so unreal. We were trying to take it slow. How was this possible? We only had sex that one time. O. My. Gosh. It was from that night.

I'm sure my face was covered with a slew of expressions. Zoey was now sobbing uncontrollably on the bed, obviously frightened to death about what was happening to her. The only thing I was thinking now was that I had to make her feel better.

A surge of confidence overtaking me, I rushed over to the bed and put a hand on her leg. She looked up at me, and peered into my eyes asking for forgiveness.

Of course I forgave her. She was right to say no. A relationship is based on trust, and if you start out with none, how is it supposed to work out in the long while? All that matters now, was making her know I'm there for here. Married or not, I'm there for her always to help her through with anything she needs.

Placing my hand on her belly, I spoke calmly,

"This baby is going to be the luckiest baby in the world. She's going to have two lovely parents, who will always be there for her, and love her forever. I love you so much babe." I said to her, hoping that I could still make everything right again.

"I love you so much it hurts, and I'll be damned if I leave you behind now. I'll be here for you and this baby. Forever and always. "

A smile peaked onto her face as she wiped the tears from her eyes. 

"How do you know it's a girl?" she asked through sniffles.

Grin flashing onto my face , I said,

"I just have a feeling."

Wrapping my arms around her, we lied down and fell asleep together.
