To Infinity and Beyond~ {A Liam Payne FanFic} COMPLETED

Chapter Twentyfive~

After a few minutes our food was being prepared and we were all laughing and having a great time. “So. How long are you in town for?” Jake asked. “Um. I don't know..” I looked at Louis. “How long is the hotel booked for?” I asked him. “Until you want to leave. Scuse me I have to use the loo.” He got up and jogged to the bathroom. “So.” I said. “Sam it is an oven out today. Roll up your sleeves.” Jake said. “I..I can't.” “Yes you can. I know you can.” “No I can't. What do you do at the beach? Or at pools? Do you take your shirt off? Until the other day I hadn't seen your arms or your chest area.” “You're right. But look, I'm wearing a short sleeve today.” He lifted up his arms to show me. “Oh.” I said. His arms were able to be seen and he didn't look ashamed or anything. “How-how do you do it?” I asked, utterly confused. “I....Well..I had you.” He stuttered. “OK.” I breathed as I slowly went to roll my sleeves up but I guess I wasn't working fast enough for Jake because he grabbed my arm and gently shoved the sleeves up to my elbows. “There. Beautiful.” he said as he flashed his smile. I couldn't help but smile back. “Love you Jakey.” “Love you too Sam.” “Hey! I just saw our food coming. I'm starved.” Louis said as he popped up and sat down in his seat. We all smiled and chowed down on our food. Once we were done, Louis paid and we got up and walked outside. “So. What now?” I asked as we reached outside. “Hmmm. Well. I was thinking, the beach.” Jake said. “Um. OK. Sounds fun. Is there a beach nearby?” I said. “Yup. Are you wearing another shirt under there?” Jake asked as we got to a crosswalk. “Um. Yea a plain white shirt.” I said , wondering what he was getting at. “Sweet.” Then he grabbed the bottom of shirt and pulled it over my head and rolled it in his hand. “WHAT. What was that for?!?” I yelled at him. “It is hot outside. Listen I know what I'm talking about. You know that this is the first day in years I have felt the sun on my skin?” I paused. “See? It feels amazing.” He said as he held out his arms and lifted his face towards the sky. It did feel amazing. “I know your reveling in the sun Jake but we have to walk now or we won't make it today.” Louis said. “Haha. Alright. Come on Sam.” Jake replied with a laugh as he grabbed my hand and dragged me across the street. We walked for about and hour and a half maybe two hours, crossing some bridges, turning corners, until we finally reached a spot where you could see the ocean's waves crashing against the shore. We were walking across some sand dunes, still a while from the actual ocean when a group of teens came up to us. “LOUIS TOMLINSON!” A couple of them yelled. “And....Aren't you Liam's girlfriend?!” Another one shouted, disgusted. “Uhm.” Was all I could reply. “Um. Would you like a couple of pictures? An autograph? Listen we just want to go to the beach.” Louis said. He took a couple pictures and while doing so a couple of them wouldn't stop staring at me. “Alright. Was lovely meeting you.” Louis backed back towards us. “Ya. Um. Why you hanging with two people like....that.” “What do you mean.” Lou stated. “You know. Just look at their arms.” She pointed to Jake and I's arms and had the most disgusted look on her face. “HEY. You listen here. These are my friends. I will not stand for any of that. You should be ashamed of yourself..what ever your name is.” Lou spat at the girl. “Whatever.” She said as she walked away. “Emo freaks.” She said under her breath. I burst. I walked over in front of her and slapped her. “You lunatic! Such a freak.” “You don't know me!!” I yelled. Jake and Lou walked over and tried to pull me away but I shrugged them off. “You don't know everything that I've gone through! You know NOTHING. So shut your mouth! One of these days it is going to get you in big big trouble.” I couldn't quit yelling. Then I socked her. Right on the nose, I think it might have broke. “WOAH!” Jake yelled as he picked me up before I could jump on the chick. “Calm down Sam.” He whispered in my ear as I struggled to break free from his grasp so I could pound on the girl some more. I could hear Louis consoling the girl and her friends as he offered them things to make them feel better. The tears poured down my cheeks, I didn't even care that there were people staring at me, some had video cameras out and some were laughing. Some of them were cheering me on, some were scowling. Jake finally put me down and squatted in front of me. “Listen. Even though that was totally amazing and she deserved it,” he high-fived me. “...that was not the smartest thing to do. Especially with your current position.” he finished. He was right. I just let pent up anger out on a random girl, would have been years worth if Jake hadn't grabbed me, but she did kind of deserve it.“I just want to go-go to b-bed.” I said as I choked on my tears. “I know babe. C'mon.” he said as he scooped me onto his lap and rocked me back and forth while rubbing my back and shushing me. About 10 minutes later I was calmed down and Louis came over and sat down. “That was an amazing right-hook Sam, but what were you thinking?” “I was thinking that after so long of people judging me because of my scars and what-not that I had had enough. I was thinking it would make me feel better.” “And did it?” He sassed, sounding motherly as if to prove a point. “Yes. Yes it did. I really need to get back into MMA, it really helped before.” I said the last part more to myself. “You were in MMA?!” Jake asked. “Yeah. I did it for awhile while I was dating Toby but after he died I fell out of it. I was doing great to. My trainer said if I had continued in a few years I could get in any match I wanted.” “Wow.” “Ya.” “So. Anyways Sammy. You broke that girls nose. She said she wouldn't sue or anything outrageous but you are in trouble.” I smiled when Louis said I broke her nose. “Trouble?” I asked, not wanting to know. “Yeah. We have to go back to London, now.” What?! That isn't possible. “What Lou? Why! That isn't fair!!” I yelled, not meaning too it just happened. “I'm sorry. But we've been spotted and know everybody is going to know you're here with me and Jake and not Liam. I've called the car and it is on its way to come get us and take us to the airport, another is going to the hotel to grab all of our stuff. There it is come on.” he said withing 30 seconds. Fresh tears pooled in my eyes as I tried to wipe them away but it was no use, they just kept coming. In one fluid motion, Jake stood up with my still in his arms and he carried me to the car. “I called you a taxi J, didn't know what you wanted to do.” Lou said. “Thanks man. I will see you soon mon amour.” “Promise?” I asked, my voice shaky. “Pinky promise.” He said as the car sped off. We waved till I couldn't see him anymore, then I just rested my head against the cool window and fell asleep. There were three times I woke up, when Louis carried me onto the plane, when he carried me off the plane, and when he carried me into his flat when we were back in London, but each time I fell right back to sleep.
