Hate To Love

Chapter 5: Liam Loves Her?

Sorry I made some changes to the ending :D

Kait's POV:

The doorbell rings again. Leo yells from his room to tell me to open it. Oh great. He invited the rest of the basketball team to come over.

I rolled my eyes. "LEO YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE!" I shouted to him.

He runs downstairs and Liam's behind him. Oh god I can't look at him after what just happened.

Leo looks at me and throws me his hoodie.

"Wear this sis." He tells me. I was cold anyway so I did.

They all went upstairs and I didn't look back but I swear I felt Liam staring at me.

After they went up, I sat down on my couch and turned on a movie.

30 minutes later...

Liam's POV:

Alex was hungry and we ran out of chips so I went downstairs with him to get some snacks. I notice Kaitlin sitting in the living room watching a movie. Gosh she's so pretty.

Alex sees me staring and nudges me. "She's pretty hot right?" He lets out a groan. "Ugh too bad she's Leo's sister." He sighs.

"You know what, idc. I'm gonna go talk to her." he says walking to her direction while giving me a thumbs up.

Kait's POV:

Alex sits next to me and puts his arm around my shoulder. I freak out.

"What are you doing?" I ask him, pushing his arm off.

"What? You don't like it?" He asked me.

"No. I don't like it." As soon as I say that he pulls me in for a kiss. I punch him in the face.

"WHAT PART OF NO DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!" I yell at him. I hate everything. I never knew being pretty was this rough. I thought if I changed myself, no one would hate me. But I guess I was wrong. I ran upstairs to my room crying.

Liam's POV: 

I see everything that happened and I pull Alex by the collar.

"What the fuck is your problem." I shove him.

"Leave her alone. She's mine. Next time I'm not letting you off easy." I can't control myself. I really like this girl. She's different.

Just then I see Leo walking down the stairs. I don't think he heard what I said but he looked mad and was staring straight at Alex. He runs towards Alex and pounces on him.

"Wtf did you do to my sister?!" He says with a stern, angry look.

"Chill dude. I swear I did nothing." Alex says, trying to push Leo.

"Oh really? Then why did I just see her crying and running to her room!?" Leo picks up Alex by his collar and kicks him out of his house. We both head up to Kaitlin's room and knock on her door. She tells us that she wants to be alone and we both do just that. She needed space.

A while later when it was 9:30, Leo was talking to our other friends and telling them bye while I went to knock on Kaitlin's door.

I stopped as I heard her talking to someone...It was Oliver. Of Course it was. I was so mad. My hand formed a fist but I stopped myself when I heard him say the words "I love you" to her. He..loves..her?

Okay I've had enough of this shit. I wasn't gonna give up on her even though it was risky. It didn't matter because she was different.

I help Leo clean up everything and I lie to him saying I need to go to the bathroom. I head up the stairs, but instead of going to the bathroom. I went to her room.

Her eyes were puffy from crying which broke my heart. I put the blanket over her and kissed her cheek goodnight.

"You're mine, love and nothing will ever change that." I whisper into her ear. 

The next day at school (last period)...

Kait's POV:

I ignored Liam and Alex all day. I walk into my last period which is math. Math was my least favorite subject but I wasn't bad at it. I was pretty good at it. I just don't like numbers as much as I like letters.

The period ends and I run into Oliver. He says hi and then asks me if I wanna come over to his house to hang out. But I say I can't since I have to tutor Liam after School.

I wait for Liam outside of the school. He comes out of school with wet hair. He looked so...nevermind. I just need to focus on his projects for this year.

"Let's go." He says grabbing my wrist. We get on his bike and go to his house. I grab onto him as he speeds up and I hear him mumble something.

I'd never been to his house and it seems as though no one lived there. It was quiet and lonely. Maybe that's why Liam seemed so...dull.

He went to freshen up and told me to make myself at home. I went to his dining room and laid my art supplies out on the table.

10 minutes later I saw him come out in white sweat pants and a tight black shirt that showed off his abs and muscles. I could feel my cheeks burning up.

"Like what you see?" He says with a smirk

"N- No." I stutter. I can hear him chuckle. I changed the topic.

"Okay let's get to work. So what projects do you have to do this year? Realism? Pop art? Painting? Pottery?" I questioned him.

"Uh well my first project for the semester is painting nature scenery. I was gonna do a waterfall but I gave up after the sketch." He responded by handing me his sketch. Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. He just had to paint.

"Okay. Your sketch isn't that bad, you just have to fix up some mistakes and then we can start mixing the paints!" My eyes glow with excitement. I always loved to paint, it was a fun hobby of mine.

An hour later I'm leaving his house, but Liam grabs my hand and asks me to stay for a bit.

He realizes that he's holding it and let's it go quickly.

"You wanna stay for a movie?" He asked awkwardly. I nod my head as I head back into his house.
