Chapter 2

every chapter will be in niall's p.o.v - might be some exceptions though!

"Hey baby." I could feel Liam's strong arms make their way around me from behind, a shiver finding it's way to me as he buried his face on my shoulder, to later plant small kisses on my neck.

"Hey." I tried my best to not sound disgusted or scared by his touch, carefully placing my hands on his, that were resting on my stomach.

"Where's my breakfast?" he mumbled quietly, kissing my neck one last time before he released his grip around me.

His question made me realize that I had just been standing in the kitchen, staring out through the window, god knows for how long.

"Uh, I'll make it right away." quickly I walked over to the fridge, "what do you w-want?" I asked, the fear in my voice starting to show already.

"Niall." Liam grabbed my arm and pulled me to him, turning me around at the same time, so we now were facing each other. "I'm not mad." he gently stroke my cheek with his hand, "I'm... sorry about yesterday." he then admitted, guilt almost taking over all of his words.

Yesterday had been... horrible. Liam came home late in the evening, drunk and mad as hell, mad for nothing really... but he took his anger out on me.

"It's okay." I so badly wanted to avoid his eyes, but I didn't dare to look away.

"No, it's not!" he growled, but for once, I think the anger in his voice was meant for himself, "I know I hurt you a lot... but yesterday was just out of line." hearing this from him, was not something new. He always apologizes, so afraid that I'd leave him when he wasn't aware. "Please, forgive me."

It was sad how I always kept forgiving him, time after time. But in my heart, I could never, ever forgive him. "Liam, it's okay... so-"

He cut me off by pressing his lips against mine, not roughly though, which took me a bit by surprise. The kiss was so gentle that I actually started to lean into it, "I love you so much, you know that, don't you?" he whispered against my lips, "so much."

"I know you do." even though how he treated me, I knew that he somehow loved me. I loved him too, deep, deep down in my heart. But, I hated him for hurting me. I hated him for filling my life with such pain, and at this very moment in our lives, my hate towards him were bigger than my love.

Liam captured my lips, the kiss once again, so gentle. Why was it that I feared him so much, yet I liked this side of him? Why was it that I really badly wanted to kiss him back and just forget about everything?

"W-wait, Liam." I pushed him away, knowing that I couldn't let me fall any further into his touch.

"Sorry." he pulled away, "I have to go to woork soon... so, just make me something to eat, okay?"

"Okay."

Liam smiled at me before he walked out from the kitchen, to most likely go and take a shower. With a small sigh leaving me, I turned around and opened the fridge that barely had any food in it. "Perfect." I mumbled to myself, we, or I, really needed to go to the store. But there was one problem, we didn't have much money. Even though Liam had two jobs, one at an old car firm and the other one at a pub, the money never were enough. The rent to this shithole was clearly to high, but finding anything cheaper, wouldn't be possible.
