From Buitron to Styles

Chapter 54

(Kenzie's P.O.V.)

I woken up to the harsh reality, that Liam hadn't come back to me, but rather stayed with Danielle. My phone lay on the dresser, where I left it last night. I made my way over and grabbed my phone, seeing Liam had texted me. His excuses were so pathetic, if this is the way he was going to be, we would be better off with out each other. I know we had rushed things, which wasn't a good idea. Liam's text had read

"Please don't be mad, I'll be home later"

I couldn't deal with this, nor would I keep going on with it.

"Jacqueline?"

I searched through the flat for her, finding her with Harry, downstairs. They were talking quietly, holding hands. When they heard me appear, they looked at me as if I had three heads. I awkwardly stood there.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked me.

I looked down at the ground and played with my fingers. I shook my head.

"I think I should leave."

Harry and Jacqueline stood to their feet in front of me.

"Leave? Like move out? Why babe?" Jacqueline encased me in a hug, I choked back the tears.

"I, I don't want to be with Liam, anymore. Especially not living with him."

"No, no. Then Liam can move back to Danielle. You stay here." Harry insisted. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Are you sure?"

They both nodded in agreement. Jacqueline took a glance at Harry and back to me.

"We have something to tell you. Over dinner tomorrow?"

She looked a bit nervous.

"Okay. I'm gonna head back upstairs."

Harry gave me hug before I left.

"Thanks guys."

When I got back to my room, I seen Liam had texted me again, claiming he was on his way home. I didn't know if what I was about to do was the right decision, but I assumed this was saving me from a lot more hurt in the long run. No sooner than five minutes later, my thoughts were stopped when Liam walked through the bedroom door. My heart jumped into my throat, I turned my back to him and closed my eyes. Gathering myself together, I pushed a suitcase in front of him.

"Why are you giving me this?"

I prepared myself for what I was about to say. As much as I didn't want to, I knew I had to.

"We can't." I took in a deep breath.

"We can't be together right now."

"No, Kenzie don't."

"Liam, just don't say anything. You weren't ready to be with me. I can't deal with Danielle being in the middle, or you jumping at her side when she needs it. Spending the night at your ex's house? It's ridiculous, I don't need this. I'm sorry."

It felt good to get that out, I wiped the few tears that remained on my cheeks. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes and let myself be in a happy place with him for the last time.

"Kenzie, but."

I pushed myself out of his arms, and rested a hand on his.

"There's no buts to it Liam. Just accept it, we both know its true. It's better for both of us to just be friends. Please don't cry. I'm not mad at you, I promise."

I cleaned of his face with my thumb, and embraced him in my arms.

"I'll see you later Liam."

I left him to pack, and decided to go for a walk. I didn't want to be hurt, and I really didn't want him to be hurt.
