Forgive and Forget❤️

Chapter 11

I woke up after who knows how long and my whole body was throbbing. I groaned and sat up slowly to see band posters all over the walls, I rubbed my head and heard the door open slowly and Liam walk in with a cup. "I made you some tea.." He smiles softly, I look down at my lap and fiddle with my fingers as he sits on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to call you." I whisper because my throat hurts. He grabs my hand and holds it in both of his. "I'm glad you did." He smiles. I shake my head, "I shouldn't have.." He sighs and pulls my into a hug and I wince. "Ouch.." I lift up my shirt and look at a big bruise on my stomach. He pulls down my shirt and kisses my forehead. "It's going to be okay..." I tear up and lay my head back and he lays beside me and hugs me rubbing my head. "Who did this to you?" He whispers. Memories of Joseph flooded my head and all I could see is him punching and kicking me. I hugged Liam tightly even though it hurt and whispered, "Joseph." He made a fist and sat up. "I can take care of him." He said and I grabbed his hand, "No. Violence is not the way." He sighs then raises his voice, "Then what is?!" I flinch and slowly stand out of bed. He grabs my hand, "I'm sorry... I just don't like you getting hurt." I pulled my hand away softly and stumbled to the door before falling and gasping in pain, "F-Fuck." I say quietly as Liam rushes to my side and picks me up, "Take it slow, gorgeous." He smiles and leans forward to kiss me and all I can think about is that girls lips on his as I turn my head away and sigh. "I can't kiss you anymore.." I whisper. "W-W-Why not?" He tears up and I look down, "I know about her.. He sighs and runs his hands through his hair, "She didn't mean anything. I love you Eleanor." I scoff and stand up balancing barely then mumble, "You don't know what love is." I walk to the door as he follows and I stumble down the stairs and onto the porch when he walks behind me, "I'll prove it somehow." I shake my head and start walking down the street realizing he only lives a little while from my house. I get home and realize that school just let out so I run up to my room as fast as I can without my Mamaw seeing me and change clothes. I then walk to the bathroom and wash my face inspecting my bruises and take three pain pills before walking outside. I stumbled to school to find Joseph waiting for me at the side of school and I slowly walked to him with my head down. "Hey beautiful." He smirks and i shiver. "Hi." He grabs my wrists, "Look at me as I talk!" I flinch and slowly raise my gaze at him, then I hear a truck pulling in behind us and turn to see its Liam. "Dammit." I say under my breath as Joseph jerks me to face him. "Why the hell did you invite your little boy toy?" I jerked my arms away, "Shut up!" He raised his fist back at me and Liam yelled, "Don't touch her!" Joseph smirked and punched my jaw as hard as he could and I fell to the ground groaning. "You bastard!" Liam said as he tackled Joseph to the ground and started punching as I pull on his shirt my nose bleeding rapidly, "L-Lets go." I choked out and Liam nodded and stood up and kicked Joseph in the side before picking me up and cradling my head in his hand and rushes inside the school and into the woman's restroom, not even caring. He sat me on the sink and got a paper towel wet then wiped my nose as I winced and held his hand. "O-Ouch." I mumbled as he smiled and finished. "You know we are in a girls bathroom?" I giggles softly and he nodded. "Anything for you." I blushed and wrapped him in a hug my jaw throbbing, "I'm sorry I pulled you into this mess." I whispered and he pulled away smiling at me, "We go into messes together." I laid my head in the crook of his neck as we stayed there quietly listening to each other breath..
