Struck With Fame

A New Girl in the Mix

"Emery, breakfast." Liam yelled up to me. I groaned and laid my head back down on my pillow, throwing the covers over my entire body. My head pounded so hard, it felt like something was going to come out of it. I moved my pillow from under my head to above it, covering any inch of light that came through. A knock came at my door, but I stayed still. I heard it open, followed by Liam's voice.

"Emery, get up. I have breakfast." I groaned and held the pillow even tighter. "Emery up." Silence. "Up, now." More silence. "Get you lazy ass up!" He yelled and flipped my mattress over, making me tumble to the ground.

"You're an asshole!" I screeched at him and he smiled.

"At least i'm not hung over."

"I am not hung over." I bluntly replied as I stood up.

"Yes you are, watch." He walked over to the blinds and opened them rapidly. I shielded my eyes and hid under the covers. The light hurt so much.

"I only had like three drinks." I mumbled.

"Guess that's your limit."

"What's yours?" I asked, peeking my head out of the covers.

"I don't have one. I don't drink." He shrugged.

"Goodie two shoes?" I smirked.

"One kidney smart alec. Don't assume." I rolled my eyes and noticed there was breakfast on my desk.

"BACON!" I screamed in a deep voice and ran over, stuffing my face. I stopped when I realized that Liam was still in the room. "Sorry." I blushed and swallowed the rest of the food in my mouth. He chuckled and walked closer. 

"It's okay." He smirked.

"Let's go down stairs." I moved out of his path and quickly walked down stairs.

"Emery?" 

"Yeah?" I turned around to face Liam. He looked at me with confusion.

"What was that?"

"Well, to be honest it seemed like you were going to kiss me and well your my babysitter and you're a good kisser which I really shouldn't be saying and I know i'm rambling on and on but I can't help it.." I didn't realize Liam was moving closer and closer to me until I felt his arms wrapped around me.

"So, i'm a good kisser?" He smirked.

"I never said that." I lied. A familiar pair of lips crashed into mine. Every worry, every problem, everything melted off of me. I kissed back without even thinking of it. I heard the door bell ring, parting from Liam's lips. I walked over and opened the door to find a girl with light brown hair and dark makeup texting on her phone. She finally looked up at me with disgust. I gave the same look back to her.

"Can I help you?" I snapped. She opened her mouth to respond when her eyes shifted from me to Liam. Her frown turned to a smile. I turned around to see Liam was a surprised expression on his face.

"Lili! I've missed you!'' She squealed and ran to Liam, jumping on him and kissing him. I felt a pang of anger hit me. Liam parted from her when he saw my expression. I think he could tell I wasn't happy.

"Oh, Marissa. What are you doing here?" 

"I came to see you silly!" She squealed, looking to kiss him again and he dodged her lips.

"Uh, who are you?" I asked, still confused at what's going on.

"Emery, this is Marissa.."

"I'm Liam's girlfriend." She fake smiled at me. I looked at Liam to see if she was for real, and he woudn't make eye contact with me.

"And you are?" She asked me.

"I'm the girl Liam's babysitting. If you'll both excuse me, i'm going to get changed." I smiled and ran up the stairs. Oh crap! My date! I quickly put on a sexy outfit and natural make up when I heard the door ring. I ran down stairs and found Liam standing there, watching me as Marissa was wrapped around him like she was stuck to him. I smirked when his mouth dropped open when he saw what I was wearing. I opened the door to find Conner standing there looking as hot as ever and holding a pink rose.  

"Wow, Em,  you look amazing!" He smiled as he looked me up and down. 

"Give me a second." I whispered and he nodded, placing the rose on the counter. I walked up to Marissa and pulled her to the side. "I think you guys should go out tonight, somewhere fun and loud." She looked at me for a second before slowly nodding. 

"Sure, okay. Don't wait up." She fake smiled at me again and I shrugged, walking back to Conner's side.

"Thanks. Have fun you two." I waved good bye to Liam and Marissa and walked out with Conner to his car. 

"I've decided to not go bowling. We're going dancing." He danced in his seat while he started up the car. I giggled and nodded, agreeing with him.  We started talking about random things when I looked in the side mirror and noticed a car behind us. But not just any car, Liam's car. I rolled my eyes before continuing the conversation with Conner. We pulled up to a club that was thumping with music from the outside. I stepped out once Conner open the door for me and we held hands. The bouncer looked at me sternly and looked at Conner, suddenly a smile appearing on his face.

"Glad to have you back so soon sir." He allowed us in and I looked at Conner.

"What?"

"Glad to have you back so soon? What was that about?"

"I work here sometimes as a bartender." He chuckled, I didn't believe him. He started to walk forward and I stopped, taking my hand back and crossing it with my other arm.

"Conner." He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I sometimes take dates here." He muttered.

"So i'm like a one night stand?" I stared at him as he didn't make eye contact. As soon as those words left my mouth, his head  snapped up and he looked at me with hurt eyes.

"Never, Emery. I never cared for those girls that I care for you." I sighed, looking in his eyes. He was telling the truth, I could tell.

"Okay, let's go have fun and dance." I smirked and pulled him out to the dance floor. We got out there and the song changed to a fast beat one that I didn't know. We danced together and I could feel I was turning him on. I smirked and continued dancing. We stopped after a couple songs and grabbed some drinks. A got a lot of drinks from random strangers and so I downed them to be nice. I felt a little dizzy after, when we stepped back on the dance floor. 

"Lili! Come on!" I heard a familiar squealing voice and snapped my head in the direction I heard it. To my surprise, I saw Marissa dragging Liam onto the dance floor. Liam locked eyes with me and smirked. He walked over towards us with her right next to him and smirked again.

"Surprise seeing you guys here." He yelled over the music. I faked smiled and nodded. *Play the song on the right or if you're on your ipod, it's Get Low* He grabbed Marissa's hips and locked them into his and dancing while keeping eye contact with me. I felt a boiling something inside of me, and I didn't like it. I grabbed Conner's hands and wrapped them around me, pulling him close to me and dancing to the beat of the song. Liam's eyebrows furrowed before he pulled Marissa a little closer and started kissing her neck. I turned around and looked at Conner for a second.

I'll show him. I grabbed Conner's collar and smashed his lips into mine. The kiss quickly heated up and our tongues danced together and as quickly as it started, I was ripped away from him. I felt a hand grip my arm and noticed Conner was a furious expression on his face. I was pulled into a bathroom, i'm guessing girls because I only saw stalls. I whipped my head around and noticed who pulled me. Liam, of course.

"Why.." I was about to go off on him when he pushed me against the wall, kissing me deeply and passionately. It wasn't what I expected from someone like Liam. It was heated and after a couple minutes, we were gasping for air. We broke apart and he smirked.

"Only I can kiss you." I nodded and lunged myself onto him, wanting more of that kind of kiss. The last thing I remembered was me taking off his shirt and then, darkness.
