Lost Love

Chapter 7

I place my hand on the wall outside of the pub I ate dinner at earlier as I try to catch my breath. As I breathe in deep gulps I look around to see if I can find Liam. He is no where to be found. I stand up straight as my breath returns to a normal pace. I had run all the way here after the interview and now I am regretting it because Liam isnt here.

I walk into the restraunt feeling defeated then walk over and sit at the bar and order a margarita on the rocks. I turn my head to the right and you will never guess who is sittting right down the bar eating a sandwhich. 

"Kate?" I ask. Kate turns around and drops the sandwhich she is holding. 

"Hope!" She screeches running towards me and pulling me into a hug. "Oh my gosh Hope! I cant believe its you!"

"So how are you and Harry." I ask Kate, casually, as if she didn't leave me just like Liam. 

"Oh Hope I am so so sorry about that but you never let me explain - you see I always liked him but I could never tell you because you were dating him and so when you broke up with him I told him I liked him and he liked me and so we started going out and then you stopped eating because you were so sad that he broke with you and I just couldn't tell you that we were going out. And then he got asked back on to X-Factor and he wanted me to come with him so I went. It all happend so fast I never got a chance to tell you!" she says, with her words running together.

"Kate.  It's okay I understand!" I say and Kate pulls me into another of her famous hugs

"Really? Hope I have missed you so much you dont even know!" She says making tears roll down my cheeks. She pulls back from the hug and smiles at me flashing her shiny white teeth and I can see a few tears rolling down her cheek as well. 

"I have missed you too Kate!" I say pulling my phone out of my pocket "Whats your number? We need to catch up!" I say. Kate tells me her phone number and then I give  her mine and just like that we are back in eachothers lives. 

I move me and my margarita, which must have been delivered while Kate and I were talking, over to where Kate is eating and we spend the rest of the night talking.

At around 12 am I begin to walk back home. I am a little tipsy from my few drinks I had and I cant exactly walk in a straight line. 

After walking a few steps in wrong direction I quickly turn around, realizing my mistake. The quick spin makes me very dizzy and I begin falling towards the ground but a strong tanned arm stops me from face planting.

"Woah there." The man says. I try to regain my footing but just end up almost falling again. The man puts his hands on my shoulders to steady me.

"S-s-sorry." I say looking up to meet the guys concerned eyes, "hey you look like my old friend liam" I say and giggle.

"Lets get you home." the man said smirking - and he did look alot like Liam, he was even wearing the same shirt as Liam. 

"oh my gosh LIAM!" I said gasping in realization. Liam chuckled and led me to his car. I tried to keep up with him but kept tripping over my self, luckily Liam was there to keep me from falling. 

When we made it to his car Liam helped me into the passenger seat then made his way to the drivers seat. 

After sitting in the car for a couple minutes I dozed off.

Liam's POV

Hope's soft snores fill the silent car as I drive along the empty road. I silently thank the lord I forgot my wallet at the pub, who knows what would have happend if Hope had been left to wander the London streets alone.
