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

Chapter Twentyeight~

Once we were back at the flat, apparently all the boys were sleeping over, it was around 1 AM. Niall and I had gotten hungry so we went to get some food and that's why it took us longer. The other four boys just sat there like, how can you be eating? In all honesty, I don't think they could lift their arms hahaha. “So. Sleeping arrangements.” I said as the movie we were watching was finished. “You're going to bed already?” Harry whined. I rubbed my arms up and down before I answered, Harry still doesn't know. “Ya it's almost 4 AM Harry.” I murmured. “Your arms itching?” he asked as his brow furrowed. “Huh? Oh..um ya.” “Here, follow me.” he said as he dragged me to Louis bathroom and started rummaging around the drawers and medicine cabinet. “It's fine Harry, they don't itch much anymore.” “No no. It's alright. The itch cream is here somewhere.” Clearly he wasn't going to give up. “So Harry. Have you talked to that girl from the bar since that night?” I asked as I sat on the edge of the tub.“Katie?” he replied, a smile coming onto his face. “Ya a few times. I'm taking her for dinner tomorrow night.” he beamed at me as he pulled a white tube from behind some toothpaste. “AHA! Here it is.” he exclaimed as he sat on the toilet and faced me. “Roll 'em up.” he demanded. I guess the explaining starts now. “Erm. Harry?” “Yeah?” “I have to tell you something...” He sighed heavily as he shoved the ointment into the cabinet and stared back at me. “I know.” “What?” “I know. I found out myself.” “About what.” this time I was the demanding one. “You. Your scars.” he said seriously. “Wha-?!” I was taken back, how? “How? For how long?” “I told you I found out. When we first met...when we were in your room. You rubbed your wrists up and down like earlier. You always do when you're nervous or uncomfortable. Then your sharpener, the blade was missing. You opened your drawer to get a good one for Zayn and I noticed it was different. In your trashcan there were empty sharpeners and in your shower the razor had no blades in it.” he said, as if it were a bright flashing light. I just sat there. Shocked. “Why...why didn't you say anything?” “Because, I figured you might not want anyone noticing. But then I noticed how the boys treated you a bit different. I also erm...followed you that night at the club.” he said as he rubbed the back of his neck. “WHAT?!” “Well you didn't think that you got to Lou's by yourself did you?” he chuckled. “But you were just as drunk as I was.” “Not completely. I was just acting when you came by that one time, and I had only had one drink. You were outside quite a while. I actually carried you here. You had mumbled Louis name and I remember he left earlier so I carried you there then left.” I could have sworn I had walked. “OK. What else do you know. There are two other things I didn't tell anyone but Jake.” He laughed nervously. Oh great he knew. I put my head in my hands as he spoke. “You had AA chips in a dish on your dresser and there was a card for a dealer ripped up in the bowl too.” I just sat there...I could not believe it. He knew? This whole time? That doesn't seem right...why wouldn't he tell me. Ask me? Wasn't he curious?
