***Carly's POV***
When I wake up this morning I was thinking I would have a hurt back from sleeping on the floor, but I didn't and I wasn't on the floor. I wake up on my bed. I look all around the room and the blanket I used last night was folded on the bed. It didn't even look like Liam slept here last night. I stretch out my arms when I hear the doorknob turning. The door swings open and my mom burst through the door. She smiles at me. "Sweetie hurry up get ready." My mom places some clothes on the bed for me to wear. Since when did my mom pick out my clothes? "Mom I can pick out my own clothes." "I want you to look nice for once." I gasp at my mom and she just gives me a warming smile. I totally got offended by that. "Honey I'm not going to ask you again to hurry. Liam is waiting downstairs." So that's where Liam is. I thought last night was just all a nightmare, but it wasn't. I'm just living through hell. I get out of bed and get ready really fast. I make my way downstairs and I hear talking coming from the kitchen. I walk in there and I see my mom and Liam sitting at the table. I clear my throat so they would turn to me. My mom smiles at me, but Liam just looks at me with no emotion in his eyes. I just make my way to the counter to get an apple for breakfast. I take a bite and right away it is snatched out of my hand. "Hey!" I look up and I see Liam looking down at me. He just holds the apple in his hands looking at me. I want to grab it out of his hand, but something is telling me not to. All of a sudden Liam takes a bite of the apple. I just stare at him eating my apple. I don't even try to get it back. Once he is done he motions for me to follow him. So that's exactly what I do. Liam is standing at the door waiting for me. When I get to him he grabs my hand in his and opens the door. What does he think he's doing? I pull my hand away. "We have to look like we love each other." Liam grabs my hand again and this time I don't pull away. We walk to a limo that is waiting out front and we get in. I'm not used to this so I am fascinated by everything. Liam just rolls his eyes. "You were never in a limo before?" "No. I'm not rich like you." I spit back at Liam and he just looks away from me. I didn't even recognize that he is still holding my hand. I just shake my head and look out the window. We are just driving through town and then we are getting to the rich side of town. Why are we here? The limo stops and the door opens. The driver is holding the door open. Liam pulls me out the limo and we just keep walking to a building. I stop and I pull my hand out of Liam's hold. Liam turns around and faces me. "What's wrong?" Liam is annoyed. "Why are we here? I thought we were looking at apartments?" "We are." Liam grabs my hand again and we walk inside. His parents are waiting for us. Mrs. Payne smiles at us and I can't help but give her a smile. "You two look so cute together." Liam rolls his eyes and I just keep smiling. Mrs. Payne grabs my hand and I follow her to a door. "Carly do you know what's behind this door?" "No." "Your apartment." My apartment? Weren't Liam and I supposed to pick out our own apartment? Mrs. Payne opens the door and walks through. Somebody pushes me from behind so I would walk through. I look back and Liam is standing there. I glare at him before walking inside. "Do you like it?" I look around and it is everything I dreamed of, but it is way too expensive. I know that for sure. It is a two bedroom apartment, has a big family room and a big kitchen. I can't help but smile. "I think she loves it." Mrs. Payne says to everyone. I look over at Liam and he again shows no emotion. "You two will start moving in tomorrow." Mrs. Payne is just so happy that I like it. I look over at her and she is talking to the apartment building complex owner. I can't believe this is actually happening to me. I'm moving into this apartment tomorrow with Liam. I have to spend three whole months in this apartment with him. "Princess you ready to go?" I turn around and I didn't notice that everyone is walking to the door. I just nod and walk out the door. I walk outside and I can feel the tears starting to appear in my eyes. "Carly is so happy she's crying." Mrs. Payne says to Liam. Liam looks at me and he is just staring at me. I walk to the limo and get in. I just want to be alone so they won't see me cry for real. The door swings open and Liam hops in. I want him to get out. I wipe my eyes. "You're not crying because you're happy. You hate every minute of this." Liam is just staring at me. "I did love the apartment, but it's too expensive." "My parents bought it. So don't worry." Liam slides closer to me and I slid away. The limo driver starts driving away from the apartment complex and I just stare out the window. I just want to get home and crawl underneath a rock. I just don't want to go through with this. When I am looking out the window I see my band mates walking out of Joan's Pizza. Yes I'm in a band. I've been in the band for three years. My friends and I started it when Abby found out I can sing. We haven't had any big gigs, but we just love to play in my garage. I sing lead vocals and play acoustic guitar. Abby plays lead guitar and background vocals. Lucas plays guitar also. Dylan plays bass guitar and background vocals. Ryder plays the drums. Nicole plays keys and Christy plays strings. I am full out crying now. "Now what are you crying about?" I turn back to Liam and I just want to slap him. I wipe my tears away and look back out the window. I just watch my friends walk down the street heading towards...my house? Now I am starting to panic. I have to get home before they get there. Once the limo stops in front of my house I open the door and run towards my house. I don't wait for Liam. I walk through the door and my parents are waiting for me in the living room. I hear foot steps behind me. "Carly what was that about?" Liam grabs my wrist and spins me around so I am facing him. "Just leave me alone." I pull my arm away and run up the stairs. When I get to my room I slam the door. I can't just leave my friends behind. I jump on my bed and bury my face into my pillow. I hear a knock on the door, but there's no way in hell I'm opening that fucking door. I know its Liam, but he doesn't deserve an explanation to why I'm acting like this. Now there is a loud knock. "Carly open this fucking door now!" Liam is getting angry. I just stay laying on my bed with my face buried in my pillow. He must have given up because I don't see a shadow underneath the door anymore. I let out a sigh of relief. Then my phone starts buzzing. I pull it out and Abby sent me a text. I open it up.
