Chapter 46 -

In the middle of dancing to "Forget You" with Niall and Liam, I realized that if Niall ever found out about Harry and I, it might run the friendship in the band. I didn't want to be the reason they broke up as the band. Liam and Niall had said "HEY!" when I had paused game and ran up to my room. I could hear someone's footsteps behind me. I automatically thought it was Niall, but it wasn't; it was Liam.

"What's the matter, Bryli?" he asked as he closed my door.

I was sitting on my bed and I wasn't looking at him.

"Liam, I'm such a horrible person," I cried.

He must have walked towards me because he was sitting on my bed next to me with his arm around me.

"Why would you say that, love?"

Tears were streaming down my face.

"What's the matter with me, Liam? Why am I so messed up?"

"Bryli, there's nothing wrong with you. Just tell me what you are feeling."

Could I trust Liam? Could he even trust me anymore?

"I did something bad, Liam...something...something I can't take back"

My eyes were blurry from the tears so I couldn't see the look on his face.

"Well, what did you do?"

I tried to dry my eyes the best I could before I said anything.

"A couple months back...I kissed Harry," I admitted.

"I already knew that."

He did?!

"You did?"

"Harry told me. He told me while you were in the hospital. I had caught him holding your hand...that's how I found out."

"Are you mad at me, Liam?"

"He said he had kissed you, not the other way around."

"So you're mad at Harry?"

"No, not mad. I'm just...disappointed."

"Well, you're going to be mad at Harry and I real soon..."

He made a confused look.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, you see...when Harry brought me home from the hospital...we kind of did something..."

"Please tell me it isn't what I'm thinking it is."

"I wish I could, Liam. You have every right to hate me. Niall has every right to hate me. Heck, even Zayn and Louis have every right to hate me. I just wish you guys never picked me up that day. I'm just ruining everything. I've had to lie to Niall for months. I didn't feel guilty at first, but now I feel horrible. I just wish...I just wish...if Sean had killed me, none of this would have happened!"

I saw Liam's mouth dropped open.

"Don't you dare say that, Bryli! Harry saved you from him and yes, I know the events that happened after that probably weren't the smartest things ever, but Niall loves you and I'm sure if you explain what happened, he'll understand."

"How can he understand any of this? I cheated on him, Liam! How can he forgive me?!"

I stood up and began to pace back and forth across my room. "I didn't want this to happen, Liam. I really do love Niall. I wish I could take it all back."

"But the problem is, you love Harry too...don't you?"

Sadly, he was right.
