Over Again (Liam Paynes Fanfic, Does include other boys)

A slow Recovery

LIAMS POV-

A week had past since the thing with the American lads. Aimee came home for the weekend but Ana-Lucia told her that she didn’t feel very well. Ana hadn’t got out of bed since it had happened, I was getting worried. She would flinch whenever I tried to hug her. What was I supposed to do? Each day she would eat less and less. Ana-Lucia had always been under-weight but everyday she got skinner and skinnier and skinnier. You could see in her face the weight she was losing. I needed to do something and soon. If anything happened to her I wouldn’t forgive myself.

I sat in the living room with mum, dad and Leila. I could hear Ana-Lucia throwing up upstairs. “Liam you need to help her” my dad spoke. “I know, I know” I replied the second time I spoke it trailed off in thought. I did know. Every time I tried she would flinch and hit around. I looked up from my knees and looked at my mum. She looked me right back in the eye. I faked a smile and slowly nodded my head. I got up slowly and headed for the stairs. I headed up hesitating each step. I needed to help her else she would end up hospitalized or even worse.

I turned into the bathroom. Knelt down next to the toilet was my fiancé. “Ana-Lucia?” I questioned. She turned around looked at me slowly and then quickly turned back up to the toilet throwing up again. “Liam, go away, you can’t see me like this” she weakly pleaded.  “Ana-Lucia please” I begged. I didn’t get a reply so a walked over to her. I knelt down next to the weak teenager. I sat still next to her and I lifted my arm up. “Ana-Lucia let me help you” I put my hand on her back. As I did I felt her fine skin twitch beneath my comforting hand. “Liam please I will be fine in a minute” She tried to assure me. “Please” she pleaded.

I stood up slowly and walked cautiously out of the bathroom turning around to see her beautiful eyes look back at me.  I walked back down the stairs. “Why won’t he try harder to help?” I heard Leila sob from in the living room. “He is trying Leila, Ana-Lucia will be fine I’m sure” My mum replied. I was trying. Why couldn’t they see? “Why isn’t he trying harder?” Leila cried back. I had heard enough. I would give my life for this girl. I grabbed my coat and walked out of the door as quiet as I could. I didn’t know where I was going. I just walked and walked.  

I decided that I should go to Louis’s house, he lived at the other end of town but I would get there just before nine I think.  I was about half seven now, I know it’s quite late to go out in the middle of London but I needed to escape from there watching the girl I love suffer and there would be nothing I could do. Even for me walking through London was pretty scary. I passed a pub on the way and picked myself up three pints. I drank one while I was there and carried two drinking them I went along. Just before arriving at Louis I went into his local pub and downed another two pints.

I finished my journey staggering to Louis’s front door. Louis must have seen me coming because when I got to his drive he opened his front door to me. “Liam what’s happened?” Louis questioned worried. “Louis” I screamed, tears flooding my face and the path where my knees lay.  Louis put his arms around me chest and pulled me off the ground. “Louis I can’t watch her anymore, I can’t watch her suffer, she is going to die” I screamed swallowing the sorrowful tears. “Liam you stink of beer what are you doing to yourself?” Louis questioned. “Louis you don’t know what it is like, Eleanor is so perfect, I mean I would die for Ana-Lucia but its so hard watching her die. I need to get away from it! She is the most amazing girl in the world. I can’t let her die Louis... I-I-I can’t.” I cried to Louis choking on my tears every few words.

LOUIS POV-

I couldn’t watch my best friend like this. He never drank beer apart from on celebratory occasions, this was wrong. “Liam I can’t talk to you in this state, wait until you sober up, no matter what I say to you Liam, you are still drunk” I had to explain. “You can stay here tonight Liam but I’m going shopping at 11 so unless you are able to talk then, you miss out” I needed to tell him straight, if I didn’t he would start doing this to himself whenever her felt sad. “Louis please” Liam cried his tears soaking my knee. I couldn’t watch him like this. “Liam you’re my best friend and I like you coming here for advice. I know you love Ana-Lucia but you can’t do this” I explained. “LOUIS SHE IS FUCKING DYING!” he screamed back in my face releasing a mouth full of vomit in the process all over my jeans and carpet.

I cleaned up the sick from my floor and Liam throw up more in my bathroom. I didn’t know what to do with him. He came back in my room and I let him sleep in my bed. I slept in Lottie’s room for the night as she was sleeping at Walihya’s house for the night. I made sure Liam was asleep before leaving him alone. I lay in bed thinking about their relationship. I remember Liam coming back after the first time they met with blood on his cheek from her slap. He told us that he had a connection with her that he needed to care for her.

LIAMS POV-

I woke up the next morning. What had I done last night? “Shit” I shot out to myself. I had left Ana-Lucia on her own. I looked at my phone. No messages. It was 8:38 am where was Louis? Right on this thought Louis came into his room, he didn’t look so impressed. “Louis I am so sorry, I don’t know what came over me last night. I just… I just… Well Ana-Lucia was ill in front of me and I heard a conversation between Leila and my mum and-and I needed someone to talk to and- and I just I just needed help… Louis you were the best friend I could think of and I just needed your help… I don’t know where I got the idea the beer would help. I just please Louis, I can’t let her die.” I spoke as quick as I could, tears ran down my face. “Liam, you need to listen to me, I know it hurts but you need to help her… Do whatever in your power to help her. She needs to eat. YOU need to eat. She needs to get over this and over time she will, it will take time Li she might start recovering today, tomorrow, next week, next month but you have got to listen to me… Your welcome here anytime but if you turn up drunk when my parents or sisters are in, I can’t let you in” Louis explained to me. I nodded slowly talking the information in as I did.

It was time for Louis to go shopping so I needed to leave. Eleanor dropped me off in her car when the set off as they drove past my house to get to the town centre. “Thank you” I spoke to Eleanor. “Louis thank you; for everything” I thanked him. He deserved it. He nodded and pointed to the front door of my house. Stood there, in a vest top and trackie bottoms, both looking way too big on her, her collar bones and shoulder blade sticking out, was my beautiful girl. I walked up to her and hugged her frail body. “I’m so sorry for leaving you Ana-Lucia” I spoke as her frail arms tightened around my neck.
