Chapter 5-
"Stevie?! Oh my god are you ok?! Don't cry! Don't worry!" Liam ran up to me and hugged me tight. Thank god he was here! My knight in shining armour! "Its going to be ok," he said tucking sticky slushied hair behind my ear. He was glancing around nervously, not looking sure as to what to do. I did notice how he was trying to sheild me from sight as much as he could though...
He gently wiped at my tear streaked face but it didn't help, my eyes were on a roll! Pouring out tear after stupid salty tear. I dont even know why I was crying so much! I mean sure I just got slushied and I was wearing one of my best outfits and now its ruined and I'm really sticky and shivering a little becuase I'm so dam cold!!! And I'm soooo humiliated and people are still laughing and I just can't get that stupid chanting out of my head and.... I must look like a freaking wreck!!!
"Come on, lets go this way," Liam said taking my hand and quickly pulling me through the crowd and down a quiet corridor. I tried to ignore the sparks shooting up my arm as his hand clasped mine, warming my entire body and making a furious blush erupt on my cheeks - not that you could tell I was so covered in red slush.
We stopped in front of a door. This part of the school was so silent it was creepy! I wonder if we are even allowed around here.
"Ok, well we couldn't go to the boys toilets because they would be occupied and I can't take a girl in there that would be dodgey AND they absolutely reek! and are deafinatly no place for a lady!!! And we couldn't go to the girls because that would be dodgey too and it would be crawling with girls all fixing their hair and make-up and it probably would be quite embarrasing for you and... yeah," Liam explained incredibly quickly. "So I brought you here instead," Liam said pointing to the door. "its the janitors toilets but me and the boys normally use them and they're quiet and we won't get in trouble because Jerry knows us."
I didn't know how to reply so I just nodded my head and smiled as best I could through the slush and tears I was splattering everywhere. Liam smiled back and pushed open the door, taking my hand again and guiding me in.
It wasn't the nicest of places but it was pretty clean and shiny for school toilets! The walls were an off-white that was proably a white when it was first painted and the sinks and toilet cubicles were the same. The blue toilet doors held a bit of shimmer that made the place look a bit fancier. Long rectangular mirrors lined the wall above the sinks and as I caught a glimpse of myself I gasped.
I looked terrible! My hair was wet and dripping, the red and blue of the slushies made my hair go weird shades of purple and my clothes weren't much better. It was liked I'd been dunked in the Artic waters, but I was a magnet for all the slush and when they pulled me out it had all just stuck to me. My shirt was being pulled down by the extra weight and I hadn't realised but my Jeans were slipping dangerously low. I qucikly pulled them back up, finding it quite a struggle. My bow tie was wonky and so were my glasses. Mascara was smudged down my cheeks and under my eyes and thanks to the crying my foundation and what not had streaked horribly! My face started to crumble as new tears leaked out.
"Shhh, its ok," Liam soothed realising that I started crying again. I'm so pathetic! He pulled me into his chest and I can't say it didn't feel good. His warmth took over me and stopped my shivers and as his arms tightened around my much smaller frame I got a pleasant wiff of his scent and it smelt sooooooo good! Manly yet boyish (A/N: Miranda quote :P)
I pulled back a little, sniffling away my self pity. As I let my eyes secretivley roam over him I noticed how wet his clothes now where. I bit my lip.
'I'm really sorry I got you wet' I signed at Liam.
"You could of at least wined & dinned me first," Liam chuckled. I didn't get it at first but when I realised what he meant I was shocked.
'Not like that!' I signed!
"I know," he said with a cheeky grin, "its fine though, don't worry," he smiled down at me, "you feeling a little better? It's really horrible what they did to you but its sort of a tradition... you know to slushie the new kid... well unless you're a popular then they don't..."
I nodded, 'Sorry I was so pathetic about it' I signed looking away from his eyes
"You weren't! Don't say that! and you were all alone! at least I was with Zayn and the others when it happened to me... about that, Where is Zayn?"
I shrugged and Liam narrowed his eyes, "remind me to speak to him..." he muttered bitterly. I gulped. Did I just get Zayn in trouble?! I didn't mean to! Oops!!!
"Anyway," Liam continued, "we better get you cleaned up!"
I smiled and looked awkwardly down at myself. where to start?
'towel?' I signed at Liam. He looked around before saying that he'd be right back and legging it from the toilets. I dropped my bag next to Liam's on the floor and kicked off my shoes and emptied them of the slush that had got in them. I stood back up again and saw Liam walking back in, arms piled high with towels. He dumped them on the floor next to me. I walked over to the sink and took my glasses off, splashing my face with water to get rid of the ruined make up. I picked up one of the towles and wiped my face with it feeling a little self concious now becuase I didn't have any make up on. I nervously looked over to Liam who was leaning with his back against the wall watching me. His eyes were wide and mouth was a little open. I pulled a puzzeld face and he started to stutter.
"Oh.., s sorry, ... its its just t that you... errr... look. ummm. you errrrr... you dont need make-up to look beautiful..." he blushed and I did too. My eyes started to water a liitle but I didn't let Liam see. That was by far the nicest thing any one had ever said to me!
I dryed my hair as best as I could with a towel and, thanking god I'd kept it in here, pulled out my brush from my bag. I pulled it through my tangly hair and then plaited my hair in a fish tail braid to the side. I then looked down at my clothes. Not much I could do really...
"Oh! Would you like my jumper?" Liam asked me. I looked at him in shock. i'd never worn a boys jumper before! what if I wore it wrong?! "you know, to keep you warm. you dont want to be wearing a wet shirt for the rest of the day." i hesitantly smiled and nodded.
Liam got it out of his bag and chucked it at me, turning around so I could undress from my shirt. I quickly slid on the hoodie, instantly feeling warmer . As it slipped over my head I smelt the scent of Liam and couldn't help but smile. It was like paradise for my nose! My smile widened as I realised how big it was on me, the sleeves easily covering my hands and the bottom baggily covering my butt and falling around mid thigh. The hood was still up and it was slowly slipping down my face. i tired to push it back but I couldnt get it to stay back.
"Here let me," Liam offered crossing the room to help me fix the hood of his cuddly warm purple hoddie. "its a bit big," he chuckled, smiling at me. i nodded, smiling back.
I still had my jeans on but I couldn't really do much about that. I wiped them down with a towel any way, it not really doing much but it was worth a go. I shoved my shoes back on and put my shirt and brush back in my bag.
"You a bit better?" Liam asked picking up his bag and sliding his arms in to the straps. I nodded and slung my bag on to my sholder. Liam smiled and started walking out of the toilets, gesturing for me to follow.
As we began walking down the corridor, me by Liam's side, our hands kept hitting, it wasnt long before he scooped up my small cold hand in to his big comforingly warm one. I blushed, something I seemed to be doing a lot around Liam, and bit my lip to stop a massive smile erupting on to my face.
