Strong (A Liam Payne Love Story)Book 1

Chapter 3

Just a note I am going to try to put out two to three chapters a week, the story is done and written just don't want to put it all out there right away ya get what I mean. Also I promise it will get better the first couple of chapters are slow and boring ugh I am sorry I feel like I am the worst. 

Maddy and I lived in a happy unison; she did her school thing while I did my teaching thing. One night right before the boys were due home I told Liam and Niall everything about my ex. How he was abusive and he was the reason I took the job in London. At the end of the story I told them that was why I wasn’t ready for a relationship. Niall got angry in a way a brother would when something happened to their sister. Liam on the hand stayed silent until Niall left to go to bed. I looked at him on my phone and whispered, “I’m sorry if I upset you Liam.”

“Laura I’m not mad at you and I completely understand you not being ready for a relationship. It’s just the thought of some guy putting his hands on you like that and making you feel like that. Oh God does that make me angry. I want to kill that guy for making you second-guess everything. From the moment I met you I knew you were perfect. Shit not just perfect for the world but perfect for me.” He ended on a whisper. I looked at him not knowing what to say until he whispered, “I know Niall likes you as well and I would never expect you to pick between the two of us. I would back down to avoid anyone being in pain. But knowing this makes me want to allow you to pick whom, when and where of your next relationship. I just want you to be able to talk to me.”

“Oh Liam you are seriously a great guy.” I whispered as tears ran down my cheeks then said, “Plus I think you might want to talk to Niall about how he feels. I was getting a brotherly vibe from him while I was talking to you guys tonight.”

“I don’t know but I will talk to him and make sure he is ok ya know that was a lot to take in.” he said smiling, then I yawned, “Get some sleep my mystery girl.” He sighed.

“Good night Liam.”

“Night Laura.” He smiled as we hung up. I couldn’t believe I told them everything, I only just told Madison because she got home one night to find me crying while listening to a voice mail from Aiden. She was so angry that she started to shake. Once she calmed down she told me I should tell the boys. I told Liam and Niall saying it was ok to fill the rest of the group in. It was literally a half hour after I told Liam and Niall I got a text from Louis. ‘Damn it Laur no wonder your single.’

‘I know.’ I replied tiredly.

‘I will kill that guy you have no idea’

‘I have some Lou but I am ok I get stronger everyday.’

‘Good I told El and she feels so bad for you.’

‘She doesn’t have to feel bad; tell her I am ok.’

‘Actually she was hoping to talk to you can I give her your number?’

‘Sure that’s fine I am going to try to get some sleep.’

‘Night Laur bar.’

‘Night Lou’ I sighed and fell asleep.

            My alarm woke me up and it made me think about how I let so many people into my life. I got showered and ready for the day then walked out to my kitchen to find Maddy making my coffee. I put two bagels in the toaster and waited for them to pop out. “Morning.” Maddy said handing me my coffee.

“Morning.” I gave her a half smile.

“You told them didn’t you.”

“Yeah the entire band knows and significant others, El and Perrie.”
