Lucy’s POV:
I turned to Harry as the phone call ended. He smiled at me “She will be here in 30 minutes.” I quietly spoke as he took my hand and led my back into the lounge room. Liam looked hopefully up at me; I went and sat next to him, putting my hand carefully on his knee as the rest of the boys stared at us. “She is coming over in half an hour; you need to be prepared for whatever she has to say, okay? Don’t argue with her, just let her speak.” He nodded. “Thankyou” Was all he managed to get out. I smiled at him and hugged him tightly.
Louis thought it was a good idea if him, Zayn and Niall left. Harry wanted to stay with me and Liam so he stayed. Liam and I cuddled on the couch as I looked over at Harry who was intently staring at us. I could tell there was jealousy raging through his body but he knew we were friends and that Liam needed someone to comfort him so he left us alone. “Do you think it will all end between Danielle and I?” Liam asked softly as he looked deeply into my eyes. “I don’t know Li, we will have to wait and see but if it does just let it happen. If it is destiny then she won’t break up with you but if it’s not, it just means you are one person closer to finding the right girl.” I comforted as I gently rubbed his arm. “Why are you always right?” he sighed, burying his head further into my stomach. I laughed and replied with “I’m not always right babe; I just have a lot of wisdom”. The conversation died down as we sat, waiting patiently for Danielle’s arrival.
A few minutes later there were three loud knocks at the door. I sat up along with Liam and Harry. “I’m going to get it. Stay calm Li, I love you” I kissed his cheek and headed towards the door. I slowly opened the door to find a broken Danielle. Her hair and make-up was a mess, her skin pale. I pulled her into a hug. “It’s okay Dani…. He is prepared for whatever you have to say” I mumbled into her shoulder. She pulled away from the hug and nodded at me, walking through to the lounge room.
Liam’s POV:
Danielle walked in and sat across from me. I stared into her eyes as she examined my features. “Liam. I don’t think I can be with you anymore. This feeling inside of me has been going on for far too long and I seriously can’t take it anymore. I am sick and tired of how protective you are and how you are always worrying about me. I feel defeated whenever I try to talk to you because I know that in your head you are assessing how I am feeling.” I listened to her words very carefully. “I’m sorry Danielle…”I muttered. She nodded. “It’s over” she said, my breath hitched, I never thought I would hear those words come out of her mouth. My eyes filled with tears as she stood up and headed towards the door, I saw her hug Lucy and talk to her but my emotions where overwhelming me too much to hear what she was saying. Danielle took one last glance at me before leaving through the door and getting into her car, driving away.
I put my head in my hands and simply cried. I loved her, so much, but she made it clear that she didn’t want me, I now have to accept that and that is going to be a hard thing for me to do.
Lucy came over, her eyes with tears in them too. She put her arm over my back and rubbed my head. It feels like my life can’t get any worse. You know that feeling? As if you have just lost your heart and feel weak. That is how I feel.
- 6 hours later –
I awoke; it was 9:00 in the evening. Lucy was looking at me worriedly. “Are you alright Liam?” she asked. I nodded, feeling better than before. I sat up on the couch and looked around; Harry was across the room, silently asleep. “I want to go to a club…”I mumbled. Lucy nodded “Okay” she replied simply, usually she would argue, not wanting me to do silly things while I was drunk but she knew that now was not a good time to argue with me. “I’m just going to go and get changed, I’ll be back okay?” She asked. I didn’t reply, I felt too weak too. Lucy sighed and pulled my face around to look at her. “Liam, everything will be okay, she obviously wasn’t worth your time anymore if she didn’t love you anymore. Now come on, let’s go and get changed.
- 30 minutes later –
I was waiting on the bed as Lucy was finishing getting ready in the bathroom. I was wearing a plain V-neck white t-shirt and black jeans. It wasn’t fancy but it was what best suited me. Lucy soon stepped out of the bathroom wearing a gorgeous black dress. (Picture to side) I looked her up and down, checking her out, she looked so sexy. I smiled at her and blushed. “Tonight we forget about Danielle and have some fun okay?” she asked. I nodded. We walked down stairs hand in hand and waited for Harry at the door who had also decided to come. He wore his famous ‘Ramones t-shirt with denim jeans. Lucy let go of my hand and walked over to Harry, kind of seductively. “Hubba-hubba” Harry joked as he pecked her lips lightly. She smiled at him and then turned to me “Let’s go!” We walked outside and saw Paul in the car waiting.
Lucy’s POV:
Liam sat in the passenger seat and Harry and I sat in the back as we drove to the club. Harry had his hand on my thigh, his thumb lightly rubbing circles. He really made my heart flutter. I received a text from my best friend Sarah:
Waiting for you at the club, can’t wait to see you ;) is Liam okay about this? Xx – Sarah
I hadn’t told Liam but I had organised that Liam meet Sarah at the club, I didn’t want him going home drunk and sleeping with some desperate girl and I knew that Sarah would keep a close eye on him. She also had a massive crush on him. Ever since they met a year ago Sarah and Liam have been quite good friends, they would always have a laugh with each other and had a lovely relationship with each other. Liam had only thought of her as a friend and so had Sarah, until now. She admitted to me a few weeks ago that she had a thing for Liam and that she was totally and utterly jealous of Danielle… but now Danielle wasn’t in her way.
I replied:
He doesn’t know Sarah, keep an eye on him please, we are at the club now, meet you just inside the door. Love ya – Lucy
We exited the car, camera lights flashing everywhere. I got hold of Liam and Harry’s hand as we pushed through the crazy paparazzi blocking the entrance. A muscly man pushed the door open for us and we were in. I looked around for Sarah when suddenly I was tapped on the back. “Who is this sexy lady, I want Lucy back!!” she said pulling me into a hug. I smiled. “Talking about sexy, look at you!” I smiled looking her up and down. She blushed. “Don’t be silly future Mrs. Styles! Haha let’s go get some drinks!” She smiled as we walked over to the bar where Liam already was.
