Had To Be You

In Love With You | Ch: 34

A sigh escapes my lips as I'm done with the history assignment. I close the books shut, lean back on my chair and unlock my phone.

It's been four days since Liam and I had the conversation. Everytime I see him I automatically stop, my leg muscles get weak. He didn't come to school the last two days.

I still haven't mentioned anything to Chloe or Leo. Foolish of me to think that that's going to continue for long but, still. I haven't got my thoughts straightened out yet.

Huh, it's funny how all of this is such 'typical highschool drama' that I thought I might never be a part of.

I shove my books inside the bag and go downstairs to grab my breakfast and lunch. And leave for school. Chloe wasn't coming to school today, she didn't finish her assignments.

So it's just me and Leo. I'm hoping Leo, Jasper and I could talk about the project. As soon as I reach my locker and put some of my books inside it, I feel a presence behind me. I cuss under my breath.

"Hey" his tough, quite unhappy voice trembles through my ears.

"Hi" and I leave again. He catches the back of my shirt pulling me back to him and I bump against his strong, hard body. I turn back.

"Stay." He orders

"Really? You see I don't know if that word really works, cause the last time I said that to someone, they didn't"

And before he says anything else I leave.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

I step out of school with Leo before we part from the school gate. I walk a few steps and a sudden pull frightens me. A hand grips my wrist strongly and the other hand on my tummy while it drags me towards the direction of a car whose door was opened.

My heart starts to run at its peak but it slowly calms down when a very familiar perfume smell hits my nostrils. "Seriously?! Now you're gonna kidnap me cause I didn't-"

As usual he cuts me off before I could finish screaming "shut up. I'm taking you to my place. We need to talk."

"Really? Again? I guess you said enough last time. And as far as I remember it didn't turn out very well," I whisper the next few words "at least for me."

"Listen, I know. I was there, I remember what I said." He comes closer to my neck, his breath tickling me on the neck, "and I regret everything I said. Trust me, it tears me apart."

The rest of the drive I sit silently, looking outside of the window and sometimes at Liam by the corner of my eyes, he catches me a few times, but says nothing. I can't tell if all this is just an act.

The car stops at Liam's place. He gets out of the car , he's still holding onto my wrist. "Leave my hand" he doesn't even care to listen to me.

"Thanks man." He says to the guy who just drove us here. I know him, like I've seen him playing football with Liam a couple of times.

He gives me a smile and waves me bye. I give him a smile back.

"I said, leave my HAND!" He stops, lets go of my wrist. I sigh. He tightens his jaws, slowly walks closer, damn it he smells so good. His eyes locked into mine, he bends down and quickly lifts me up.

"Wooohpsieee, Hey! Leave my hand doesn't mean lift me up!"

"Shut it'"

Damn it!

Austin's not home, he is at his friend's place. So the house is empty. I should be happy about that shouldn't I? But I'm not, I'm nervous.

Every time I see him I want to kiss him. I want him to kiss me, everywhere. But I can't, more like I shouldn't. It just makes me more pathetic.
