Make You Feel My Love (One Direction)

Chapter Seven

**Chapter Seven**

•Erin's POV•

When I entered the house and walked into the kitchen, it was to my surprise that none of the boys were in there. Not even Niall! Nervous about where they could be snooping around, I walked up the stairs only to hear them up on the 3rd floor, screaming and running. Well, most of them. I suddenly saw the door to the Studio room swing open, revealing Niall and Liam.

"Erin, you never told us you played any instruments!" Exclaimed Niall, holding one of my acoustics in his hands, slightly strumming the strings.

"Or that you sing, with your own recording studio!" Liam pointed out. I had no intentions of telling them I played, or sang. I got nervous enough around Sara when it came to my music.

"Oh... uhm, well.... I d-don't. Those are just... gifts. From f-friends! I let some friends use my studio also, yknow... make it easier on them..." I lied. They seemed quite suspicious at first, but.they gave in and agreed that it was a valid story. Liam was still eyeing me curiously, as if he knew of my lie. But, having no proof, he let it go as the other 3 boys ran down to the 2nd floor with us.

"I know you guys are exhausted probably from your flight, so you can pick your rooms. All of them are open except the purple one next to the Studio room; that's mine. Fight it out however you want! Also, I know having a month off means a month to be able to see your girlfriends. If you want, you can invite your girlfriends as well, I obviously have enough room... BUT LET ME KNOW IF I NEED TO BURN MY MATTRESSES AFTER THIS!" I exclaimed with a slight giggle. The boys all chuckled, except for Liam, and went to pick their rooms. After 10 minutes of fighting over whose room was whose, it ended up with Liam and Niall on the 2nd floor with me, and Harry, Louis, and Zayn on the 3rd floor by my office. Ironically, Liam was across the hall from me, with Niall right next to his room. Both Niall and Liam fancied me, that I was sure of.

But what I wasn't sure of was whether things would get awkward over time...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the boys got settled into their rooms, they all came down to the kitchen where I was having tea; all of them except Liam. Me being the person I was, decided to make him tea and take it up to him. I didn't want him to be left out.

As I excused myself from the kitchen with both mine and Liam's cup of tea, I felt Niall's eyes follow me out the doorway and around the corner. I knew he would think I fancied Liam more than him, which in a small sense, i did. Rationally me and Liam were more compatible, that was a fact. But when Niall was around, butterflies still threatened to burst out of my stomach.

When I was standing outside Liam's door I knocked and waited for a reply. Within seconds he opened the door, a slight smile appearing on his face when he saw it was me.

"I brought you some tea, Liam. I thought it might make you feel better." I smiled, holding the cup of tea out to him as he took it gently.

"Thanks Erin, I really appreciate it. Want to come in?" He asked as I nodded my head, having a seat on the corner of his bed.

"Liam, I know its none of my business, but I just wanted to come tell you that if you ever need to talk I'm here for you, okay? I know how much it hurts to lose someone you wanted to spend forever with..." I paused as my eyes became glassy with tears approaching. He took notice so I quickly recomposed myself and finished.

"...But sometimes shit happens, excuse my French. It just means that better things are meant to happen, and that you can't stop your life because of one person." I choked out. He seemed to understand, and he smiled at me. Taking my tea and setting it down, he stood me up and pulled me close for a warm embrace.

"Thank you. It really does mean a lot to me to hear that from you. I'm not used to girls coming to me like this without wanting money or tickets, or yelling in my face. It's nice to meet a girl that just wants to make sure I'm okay. Especially since I know you don't need my money" Liam chuckled, my head pressed to his chest. I could feel his heartbeat picking up the longer the embrace lasted. *Erin, you can't get attached again. Pull back!* I thought, so I did instinctively.

"Well, I'm going to go say goodnight to the rest of the boys and go to bed. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight, Liam!" I quickly blurted out as I walked towards the door.

"Yeah, me too. Goodnight, Erin. Sweet dreams." Liam called back to me as he watched me walk down the stairs and shut his door.

When I got down to the kitchen, the boys were already gone and in their rooms. How had I not heard them? I must've been too busy talking to Liam.

Going upstairs and crawling into my bed, the last thing I thought about was Liam, and how he made me feel. Sure, Niall made me feel the same way, but it was a little different. But Liam was filled with so much pain and hurt, and betrayal. I felt as if I needed to take it all away; to show him that love wasn't always going to lead to hurt.

But how could I show him that if I can't believe it myself? Oh, how confused I am! What if I do fall for him and he doesn't feel the same? Or if I fall for Niall? Or if Liam thinks I'll hurt him like Danielle did?

If only I could make him feel my love...

Just to clarify, I have absolutely nothing against Danielle with Liam, it's just how the dream went :/ However, be prepared for a little surprise in the next chapter! Keep voting and giving me feedback, darlings!
