Weak For Him || Darkness Book #1 ✔️

Chapter 3 | Party, Party!

Liam's Pov

I've just seen her again as I was going past Mia's. Fuck, she still looks perfect. Everything inside me wanted to pull the car over but I'm on a time schedule. It's always the fucking case. I never see her when I have time on my hands. I'm no longer that little boy that kicked her out. I've matured within myself.. to a degree. I was a child and I made a lot of mistakes with her especially. My life right now is all over the place, my mum is battling cancer and I just need my baby to make me feel better. That's what she does for me. It's always Stacey.
Pulling up outside a café I make my way inside and order myself a burger and fries and walk outside and sit down.
Blaine better hurry up, I hate carrying packages because it's to risky for me as I'm known to the police.
I sit back scrolling through my phone and suddenly someone's standing in front of me blocking the sun. What the fuck?  Looking up, I instantly smile.
"Oh my god! Liam, you're out" Sian says, my friend from school days - Stacey's bestfriend - and I smile at her as she takes a seat.
"I've been out for a while, how've you been?" I ask her and she smiles taking a seat as my food arrives. Nothing has changed clearly as she starts picking at my fries and I shake my head smirking as I grab my cheese and bacon burger.
"Works a bitch but I'm good, what about you? I haven't seen you in so long. I've missed you" she says and I smile. How could she have missed me? I'm a fucking criminal and I broke her bestfriend's heart. Repeatedly.
"You know me. I'm good, you missed me, yeah?" I say smirking and she laughs.
"Yes I missed you, Liam, so does Stacey" she says and I sigh. This again..
"She doesn't miss me Sian. She's moved on" I tell her feeling shit but she raises a brow. I still think about that night she came strolling towards me drunkenly. I wanted to run and grab her, take her away. Make everything better, but I was the problem.
"Stacey.. move on.." she repeats and bursts out laughing.
"You're crazy. She loves you still to this day Liam and I can tell by the way you light up at the mention of her name that you still love her. I miss you two together" she says bluntly and I know the feeling.
"Yo, LJ" I suddenly hear and look up to see Blaine who I'm supposed to be meeting. Fuck!
"Give me two minute, Sian" I say and push my fries to her and stand up.
Walking over to the car, I jump in the passenger seat and do a quick exchange.
"Next time arrive on time" I tell him and he rolls his eyes at me. I climb out and walk back to Sian with a pocket full of cash. I love my job.
"So, where were we" I say and she raises her brow again.
"Still a bad boy then, Liam" she says and I laugh, shrugging. Things never really change..
"I'm making money, the only way I can. Dont be judgemental" I say and she chuckles, eating away at my fries.
"You're still young Liam, you can change your life and get a proper job. But, anyway.. there's a party going on tonight that Mia's dragging us all to. You should come" she says and I smile knowing she means Stacey. Because no one likes Mia. I do wanna see my queen obviously, but.. should I?
"Thanks but I doubt it. I don't wanna fuck Stacey over again even though I do need her, she deserves better than me" I tell her sighing and she drops her shoulders slumping back. She will always deserve better than me and what I can offer her, it just sucks.
"But you two are so good together Liam" she says and I shake my head again.
"No Sian, it's what's best for Stacey, trust me" I tell her and she sighs. For the best!
"You're both miserable without each other Liam. And like you said, you need her" she says and I nod because it's true. I need her like the air I breathe. But it doesn't change anything.
"I'll think about it. Happy?" I tell her and she grins perking up again.
"Definitely. I want your number" she says and passes me her phone. I type in my number, save it for her and hand it back to her.
"Thanks, I'll be checking in on you making sure you're good. I have to run, I've got to go work. Thank you for the food, and it was really good to see you, Liam. Chin up" she says standing and I stand to and hug her as I see that's what she's waiting for.
"It was good to see you too, Sian. And I did miss you as well" I tell her as we pull apart and she smiles at me and nods before backing away.
"I'll see you later" she says and I smirk before she turns and walks away. Maybe.
It's so easy with her still like it always has been. I've missed that.
I head inside the café grab a bottle of coke and pay for my order quickly before making my way back to my car drinking my drink. I climb in and pull off when my phone starts ringing and I look at it before answering.
"Brother, where you at?" Jason asks and I already know he wants something.
"I'm about, what's up?" I ask him waiting for him to get to the point.
"There's a party tonight you wanna come with me?" he asks and I sigh. What is with this party? I really wanna go and see Stacey but I can't do that. I shouldn't.
"I can't bro, I've got plans" I tell him a blatant lie and he sighs.
"Don't lie brother, and don't be boring" he says and I laugh.. me boring.. don't be ridiculous!
"Far from it, just not in the mood" I tell him and he sighs again.
"Brother I wanna get drunk with you, it'll be fun. At least come with me, then if you wanna leave that's cool" he says and I sigh now.
"I'll think about it" I tell him and I know he's grinning ear to ear like a kid. I know my brother.
"Okay, be home by.. say 7pm and we'll hit it up" he says and I hum not looking forward to ruining my baby's night.
"I said I'll think about it. I'll be home soon" I tell him and he hums. He always takes the piss, constantly looking at girls. Drives me fucking insane.
"Alright, we're going bro, be ready" he says and hangs up. Dickhead.

I finally pull up where I know he'll be, where I know they'll all fucking be and cut my car's engine.
It's finally getting dark out and I can see the little dickheads fucking around and I grip the steering wheel as my anger begins to build. -They're all gonna die!- Yes, yes they fucking are.
I reach behind my seat grabbing the aluminium baseball bat from off the floor and climbing out of my Audi.
I walk across the road scraping the bat behind me like a fucking crazed person, salivating at the mouth, knowing I'm about to spill blood.
One guy suddenly comes running towards me and I swing the bat straight for his head and watch his neck crack as he drops to his knees. I swing again as hard as I can seeing his neck snap this time and I move on to the next.
"Fuck, who the fuck are you!?" Someone yells towards me as I smash the bat in another's face watching blood pour and I growl when I'm hit from behind with something hard, but I spin with the bat and catch his knee caps dropping him instantly.
I swing the bat again as I turn to face one and just duck as he swings his fist. I ram the bat into his stomach and quickly hit him across the face dropping the last one. I stand breathing heavily as I have blood covering my hands and look at them spread out, dismantled on the floor.
"That's what you get when you mess with Mama T" I growl feeling my chest rising and falling and I'm burning up, I feel like I'm on fire.
My mind scrambles and I blink through blurred vision and a growl suddenly escapes me. -You need to get out of there!-
