Promise Me Something

ELEVEN

***Jc's P.O.V.***

I ordered everyone out of the house. I saw Lia looking back at me. She mouthed the words we're over before looking away from me and walking out the door with no hesitation.

The room was silent but then I heard sobbing. It wasn't a girl crying though, it was Kian. He was kneeling on the ground hugging Liv. "Kian?" I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. He turned around to face me. His cheeks and eyes are red and wet.

"Get away from me Jc! Get out!" He yelled.

"Woah! Kian I'm going...I'm going." I put my hands up and backed out of the room before turning to run upstairs.

When I was upstairs I didn't go into my room. I walked down the hall and opened the door to Sam's room. Inside Sam was sitting on his bed on his phone. "Oh hey Jc!" He smiled.

"What're you playing at Sam?" I glared at him.

"What do you mean Jc?" He moved his hand across to the drawers next to his bed.

"What'd you do to Kian and Liv?" I took a step closer. Sam's face dropped into a frown.

"Take another step and I'll kill you in one swing." He raised his hand revealing a large knife from the kitchen.

"Sam..." I took a step back.

"Get out Jc and don't tell anyone what you've seen." I nod and leave Sam's room making sure I close the door behind myself.

I walked down the hall to Ricky's room. He was sitting on the end of his bed with Eboni and Trevor filming a video. "It's Jc!" Trevor yelled.

"Turn the camera off." I said sternly.

"Why would I do that?" Ricky asks me stupidly.

"Ricky, turn the camera off." I say in the same tone.

"Oh crap...Sure." Ricky gets up and turns the camera off.

"What's going on?" Eboni stands up beside Ricky.

"Want to go to Taco Bell for dinner?" I ask.

"Umm...Alright." Trevor walks towards me. "Come on guys..." They follow me out the door.

"Kian and Liv aren't in a very good state right now so just let me do the talking." I say. No one says anything as we walk down the stairs. When we reach the bottom step I walk over to Kian and Liv. "Kian, you need to listen to me." Kian makes a low muffled growling sound. "Kian. We're going to Taco Bell and you need to come." He looks up at me. I wink at him and nod. He knows that I know something.

He taps Liv on the shoulder and whispers in her ear. She nods and Kian helps her up.

When she stands up she clings to me and presses her tear stained face to my shirt. I put my hand on her back and hold her tightly. Eboni walks over to Kian and takes his hand. They walk out the front door followed by Trevor and Ricky.

Liv and I stayed like this for no longer than 2 minutes when she pulled away. "You alright?" I looked down at her.

"Remember when you asked me that question yesterday?" She asks me. I think for a moment.

"When I asked you to be my girlfriend? Yea I do. Why?" I was confused.

"Well my final answer is yes." She said quickly before hugging me tighter. I kissed the top of her head and held her closer.

"We'd better go." I whispered.

"Fine..." I took her hand and we walked out of the house.
