Love In a Hopeless Place (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 6

LIAM'S POV

Niall and I stood in the parking lot of the college campus waiting for Ella to come and meet us. She said she would be here at three and its nearly three thirty.

"You would think she'd be a little more eager to fix things after that nasty battle you guys had." Niall spoke under his breathe glancing at his watch. He was slouched up against the car door of my truck with his hands slung in his pockets. I on the other hand was a nervous wreck fidgeting and twidling my thumbs. Never in my life had I ever been so anxious to see Ella.

After leaving the apartment pissed and confused I had come to the decision that no matter what Ella was always going to belong to me. There was nothing nor anyone that could ever take her away, whether Ella liked it or not she was mine, I was hers and everything in between was ours. There was no way around it, no escape route, no tricks or games or kidnappings, she simply wouldnt ever belong to anyone else because I loved her too much and that was all that mattered. I'm no idiot; I knew without a doubt in my mind that if I left Ella at the apartment alone she would go to see Harry. But the thought that soothed and comforted me was the fact that I knew this may be her very last time seeing him again. I had taken matters into my own hands. Harry's bail was due for the thirteenth of March, and here we are in February and he is out free. I knew that with a witness and a court statement I could easily get Harry back in prison and away from Ella and I for good. Of course I would need a witness to take to the stand with me and who a better person to testify with me than Niall?

"Sorry I'm late, Car trouble!" Ella spat in between gasps for air and pants of breathe. I took her hand in mine guiding her to the pasengers side of the car and then making my way over to the drivers side.

"Hi" I whispered running my finger along her jawline and then bringing my face down to kiss her. The kiss was short and cold. She allowed me to press my waxy lips against hers and then she pulled away. I scoffed at her resistance and ran a hand through my hair.

"Liam, there's something I need to tell you." She spoke carefully as if whatever it was she was going to say would hurt or damage me. I looked at her silently willing her to go on. She took a deep breathe and opened her mouth to speak but I beat her to it.

"Look, Before you say anything I just want you to know that I'm sorry about what happened back at the house. I was angry but it wasnt right for me to flip out that way. I scared you and I hurt you and I am really truly sorry baby." I told her placing my hand on her knee. She smiled at me, a crooked plastic smile and then tried once more to deliver her news.

"Liam....." But I cut her off again this time with a kiss. Running my hands through her tangled hair and catching her neck in my hand. She moaned into the kiss out of suprise but her eyes never closed and once again she pried away from me only seconds after the contact. I felt deprived, empty, needy, desperate. I needed her to kiss me the way she had the summer we'd met, I needed for her to tell me she loved me while she stroked the underside of my palm, I needed things to be the way they were before Harry.

"Liam please this is important!...I...I want to be with Harry." She said it loud and clear as the day is long. I heard her and it hurt me which only increased my need for her love.

"Ella, Kiss me." I begged nudging my nose into the soft skin of her neck. She pushed away from me startled by my reaction to her harsh words.

"Li did you hear me? I said I want to be with Harry." This time as she spoke she made sure each word was pronounced clear and loud. I chuckled snaking my arms around her sides. She kicked and thrashed depserate to get away from me. The car doors were locked so I kept still and let her wiggle out of my grip.

"I WANT TO BE WITH HARRY!" She screamed as I sat next to her a smug look plastered across my face.

"I'm sure you do, but baby you cant." I told her watching to see her reaction.
