[[ Liam's dorm up above, I designed it & I tried my best ok ]]

As we drove to Harry's house, Niall was quiet beside me, but for once, his ear buds were out.

"Sooo.." I said.

He huffed in response.

"Niall. You need to talk to me," I sighed.

"No, actually I don't Liam." He snapped.

I clenched my jaw and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Pissed, I turned to him, "I get you're upset. Okay I fucking get it. I get that you hate mom and dad and I get that you hate people in general. But I never though I'd live to see the day that you'd hate me. But now that that day is here, you owe me a fucking explanation."

"I hate you so much!" He screamed. "I hate you for breaking Brady's nose. I hate you for nearly putting him into a coma. Do you know how much worse things got? People started calling me that kid with the psychotic brother!

"You were all that mattered to me! My only friend! You stopped picking me up from school and started hanging around Alex and Sophia more! You put them before me!

"Yes I was mad at first but if you would've at least made an effort to fix things I would've forgiven you in heartbeat, Liam. Because that's what brothers do!" He cried.

I scoffed at the blonde, "You've got to be fucking kidding me, Niall. I was trying to give you your freedom. You said you hated me, and you've said it about other people too. But you never really hated anyone. Not in the way that you hated me.

"I always defended you. They called you retarded and hopeless and stupid. I stood up for you. Every single time. Someone called you a name? I got in their face and told them to fuck off or else I'd blind them.

"Whenever you needed a shoulder, I was there. I walked behind you enough so you wouldn't notice me on the way home and I didn't bother you.

"I did what you wanted. I gave you space. I didn't force you to eat. I left you alone. And now, I'm trying to make this right. So if you'd just fucking let me," I hissed.

I put the car back in to drive and we were quiet the whole rest of the ride.

Harry's house was basically a reunion.

We all hugged the family we hadn't seen in a long time and so on.

Niall stayed off to the side mostly, pouting and ignoring anyone that tried to talk to him.

The next morning we went home and basically locked ourselves in our rooms.

I didn't leave my house for an entire week and a half.

Neither did Niall.

And before we knew it, it was time for me to leave

"What?! No way! Dad, you agreed to this!?" I shouted, infuriated.

"Until you can prove you can live away from home, you'll have to stay in a dorm. If you can make it through first semester, we've already got a spot reserved for you at the fraternity," my dad explained.

"What ever, this is bullshit. You know it. I'm leaving," I said, grabbing my last box of stuff and my keys, storming out the door to my jeep.

I threw the last box in to the trunk which was already crammed with my belongings, and slammed it shut, dusting off my hands on my pants afterwards.
