DO YOU REMEMBER ME (CHAELISA) COMPLETED

Chapter 9

Liam's POV

He had her against the wall. That sick, disgusting, evil man had my girl against the wall… with a knife to her throat! He was leaning in to kiss her but she had her head turned away. That’s when I stepped into the light and shouted, “Let her the fuck go.”

He glared at me, “Wha-w go away, boy. Thissss is not yooour concern.”

I headed over to them, “I said. Let. Her. Go. Or we’re gonna have trouble.”

He laughed and I punched him. He released his grip on Chaeyoung and she stumbled backward. I caught her arm before she hit the cement and I pulled her back to her feet.

“You okay, Chaeyoung?” I asked. She nodded and smiled.

The man laughed and I turned to glare at him, intertwining my hand with Chaeyoung's and leading her away from that wretched bastard.

I lead her back to the park and checked her arms and neck out for any scratches or bruises.

“L! I’m fine.” She laughed.

“I’m just making sure.” I wrapped my arms around her small waist and kissed her tenderly. Once I pulled away, I rested my forehead against hers, “Don’t you dare leave me again. No matter how pissed off you are.”

“I’m sorry…”

I laughed a little, running my fingers through her hair. I lead her to our tree and lie beside her, my arms around her protectively. She smelled like vanilla and heaven.

(FLASHBACK)

“Hey! You’re the guy from the library from last year! With the awesome hair!”

“And you’re the girl with the gorgeous eyes. Can I sit with you? I don’t know anybody else here.” Well, actually I did, but… I needed an excuse to sit next to Chaeyoung.

She blushed a little, “Y-yeah, of course!”

I smiled warmly and took the empty seat next to her. Our language arts class was set up with 5 rows, 4 desks in each, with the two kidney-shaped tables in the back. At one of those tables in the back was where Chaeyoung and I now sat. Everyone else took the regular desks, other than a skinny boy with long brown hair who took a seat at the other kidney table, as far away from us as possible.

“Chaeyoung, right?”

She smiled, her eyes lit up, “Yeah. And you’re… Liam, right?”

I nodded and she grinned triumphantly.

“What have you been up to all summer?” I said, after a few moments passed.

“Um... just listening to music. Long walks. Sneaking out to the beach at midnight. You?”

“That actually sounds pretty fun. Let me join you sometime to the beach? My life’s pretty boring. Just lazy me lying in bed eating potato chips and doing whatever random shit I feel like on the computer.”

She chuckled, “You can join anytime. As long as you don’t try anything.” She raised an eyebrow.

“I promise I won’t. Unless you want.” I winked, “But seriously… I’m not like that. Distrust men? Or people in general?”

She shrugged, “Fear of men. Unless they’re hot. Especially one particular guy with dreads and brown eyes that I met in the library. He’s pretty cool. Hot, too.”

“Hmm. Well in that case, we should… go see a movie Friday?”

Her whole face lit up, “W-w-whaaat?”
