You and Me

Chapter 8- Things just got real.

Liam's POV. 

She fell asleep in my arms. I loved that feeling. Knowing she trusted me enough to keep her safe whle she slept. My phone buzzed. Louis.

Louis: Li, when are you getting back? Are you and Leila okay? Is Zayn okay? Please call me. :)

I clicked off the message, to find 9 missed calls from Louis, Niall, and Harry. Oops. We better be getting back. 

I picked Leila up, bridal style, careful not to wake her, and carried her down the hill to the car. I put her in the back seat, and climbed in with her, laying her head on my lap. "Zayn? Can you start driving home?" I asked. He didn't answer, just started the car. We haven't been right since he kidnapped Leila. Obviously... but he had to. He explained everything to me. We just aren't back to normal. 

"Liam?" Leila mumbled. "What's wrong, love?" I asked, conserned. She held her had on her head. "My head hurts." She stated. "Just go back to sleep, love. Hopefully it will pass." I said, strokeing some loose strands of her hair, that had fallen into her eyes behind her ear. She looked up at me. "Okay." She smiled. She was so cute. I can't deny, I like her. A lot. I care so much for her, and i've only known her for a week. She laid her head back down on my lap, and i heard her breathing slow. I doubt she likes me. She wouldn't. Would she? 

Leila's POV. 

I felt someone pick me up out of the car, and carry me bridal style to what i assumed was home. Well, their home. I decided to pretend to still be sleeping. Just so i didn't have to walk. "Leila, i know you're awake." I heard Liam chuckle. "Shh." I said sleeply. Liam chuckled again. I felt the ground beneath me, and realised my plan had failed. "Liiiaaaaammmmmm." I pouted. Nothing. Puppy dog eyes it is then. >:)

I looked up at Liam, with puppy dog eyes. He knelt down, and picked me back up of the ground. SUCKAAA. 

Liam carried me up to his room, and laid me on his bed. He pulled a shirt from his draw, and gave it to me. I got up, and walked to the his bathroom, and shut the door behind me. I guess i'm sleeping in Liam's room tonight. I changed into Liams shirt. It stopped just below my hips, and was really big and baggy for me. I opened the door, to find Liam, waiting outside for me. He walked in, after i walked out. Liam's room was neater than mine! Really? I have a bad obsession with things haveing to be in the right place. It really annoyed me sometimes. Jack used to leave a mess behind everywhere he went, and i used to go round, cleaning up after him. Waisting my time, as he would just mess it up again. 

As soon as i noticed the sofa, I went to lay on it. I didn't want to annoy Liam, and take his bed. I'll be okay on the sofa. I tried to sleep, but i really wasn't tierd. At all. 

I suddenly felt hands pick me up, and place me on the bed. "Liam?" I asked. "Yeah?" "I'll sleep on the sofa..." "No." He simply stated, then climbed into bed with me. I shrugged, and rolled over. 

I tried to fall asleep for what seemed like 3 hours. I rolled over and looked at the clock. 4:03am. it read in the bright green numbers. I can't take this anymore. It's only been an hour. I got up, being careful not to wake Liam, and walked downstairs to the living room. I looked through the DVD's, found woman in black, and slid it into the disk tray. The film isn't really scary, but when you're on your own in the dark, it's terrifying. 

I watched the film for about 30 minutes, and i was already scared out of my mind. What made things worse, were the footsteps coming down the stairs. As they got closer, i hid further and further under the blanket. Suddenly, Louis' face appeared round the corner of the door. I sighed in relief. No woman in black coming to make me kill myself. Yay. 

"Leila...? Whatcha doin'?" Louis whispered. "Just watching woman in black..." I said, sounding scared to myself... and obviously Louis too. "It's okay, i'll protect you from it." I jumped on the sofa next to me, and pulled me to himself. Awwww:)
