18 ( A Harry Styles Fan-Fiction) ON HOLD

Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

I was sitting on the bench at a park near my house catching up on some homework I forgot to do when Liam walked up to me with the biggest smile on his face.

"Hay Liam" I said greeting him with a warm smile.

"Mercedes I have a WONDERFUL Idea!" Liam said while grabbing my hand and pulling me to my feet.

"What is it Liam" I smiled not even trying to hold back my laugh.

"I'm GOING TO TRY OUT FOR THE X FACTOR!" Liam cheered jumping up and down. I joined in as well until I thought about it.

"Liam?" I stopped jumping and gave him a sincere look.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked him.

When I first heard of the idea, I thought Liam had gone a little crazy. The X-Factor is where you go sing and see if the judges like your voice or not. If they do, they send you to the next round and you keep competing against other people who can sing as well. You can't be nervous to sing on stage because you have to perform in front of a lot of people.

He told me he was sure because of what happened the day I was in the hospital because of my broken arm and ankle. Liam told me the day when I was in the hospital, in the middle he went to use the bathroom. When he walked into the halls and seen that the halls were empty besides the few nurses standing at the desk. So Liam said he continued to the bathroom when he came to he bathroom door he stopped because he could hear crying behind the door.

"What did you do when you heard that?" I asked.

"I didn't want to just barge in their, I didn't know who was crying or what they were doing. So I opened the door slowly, trying not to make it creek or anything" Liam started explaining.

The whole time he was talking I couldn't help but smile because when Liam talks he uses his hands sometimes and he looks you directly in the eyes as if what he's talking about is really important.

He continued his story by saying when he opened it slowly the crying stopped. He heard as if someone was trying to pick up stuff and scrubbing something. He walked into the bathroom and saw that there was no one in main part of the bathroom but there were only 5 stalls and he went to the sink to wash his face when he seen someone leaving the stall.

"It was Niall, he walked out of the stall with puffy cheeks and red eyes, and you could tell he was crying." Liam said with wide eyes.

"Liam what does this have to do with you auditioning for the X-Factor?" I asked smiling even harder now.

"I'll get there, but the worst part was that when I looked at his wrists they were wrapped in gauze and you could see the blood seeping through them staining the gauze." Liam said looking down with a sad expression on his face.

"That doesn't mean anything, he could of slipped and hurt his wrists." I explained trying not to think of the worst.

Liam looked at me with a look that showed he wasn't joking.

"Mercedes" Liam said hesitantly while taking my hands in his looking me in my eyes once again.

"NO LIAM STOP!" I screamed snatching my hands away from him and covering my ears.

I got up and walked away, but Liam got up and ran after me. When he caught up with me he pinned me against a tree blocking any possible way for me to escape his grasp. He had his big hands wrapped around mines wouldn't stop looking me in my eyes. I put my head down failing to hold back my tears that were slipping through my eyelids.
Liam lifted my head up gently and wiped away some of the tears with his finger and said.
