A Crazy Lil Thing Called LOVE || L.P.

91.) Is that it ?

"But maybe you never really had someone, she thought now...

Maybe, no matter how much you loved them, they could slip through your fingers like water, and there was nothing you could do about it...!!"

Alya's P.O.V.

After reading the text, the last thing that I could remember was, making the way to my room as fast as possible. My eyes started brimming with tears and my body was shaking because of the hysteria caused by the picture of Liam that Claire had sent.

Turning the door-knob open, I looked around, not knowing what, actually, I was looking for. I was in deep breaths, walking from one end of the room to another with the phone, still, in my hand and my stare was fixed on the same picture. I was trying to hold back my tears and finding it too hard to push away the terrible thoughts that were about to explode my head.

Calm down Alya. Its nothing like you're thinking. Liam loves you. Have faith in him. He would never cheat on you.

I tried to assure myself with any positive thought that I could think of, amidst all the melancholy surrounding me and my mind seemed to relax a bit after a few minutes.

In the next second, I was dialing Paddy's number. I didn't care if it was too early. It wasn't like I had any other choice then.

His phone kept ringing for a few moments before he, finally, answered my call. "Hello." He was sounding too sleepy. "It's Alya." I told him in a shaky voice. "I'm so sorry to call you at this time but its urgent." I spoke in a single breath.

"Hey, calm down first. Are you okay? Where are you?" His voice was clear and he sounded worried. "I'm fine. At my place." I paused for a second, thinking about how to say whatever I wanted to and then, straightaway came to the point without wasting another second.

"Can you please take me to Claire's place?" My body was still shaking a bit.

"Sure Alya. But, right now ?" His reply was instant. "Yeah. Right now." I repeated his words.

"Is everything okay?" He asked and I could sense him getting up from the bed. "I'll tell you everything in the car. Please, just make it fast." I spoke in a cracked voice. "Don't worry. I'm coming right away." And with that, we both hung up.

Tying my hair into a pony and wearing my sneakers, I grabbed one of Liam's hoodie and headed downstairs, not caring to change my pajamas. I started pacing back and forth in the lobby, waiting for Paddy to arrive and all kind of weird thoughts kept bursting my mind.

Around 15 minutes later, my phone ringed in my hand. Seeing Paddy's name flashing on the screen, I answered the call while making my way out of the house. He told me that he was just a minute away and meanwhile, I locked the door and told the guard of my house that I would be back in sometime.

The second, Paddy stopped the car outside my gate, I wore my shades and pulled up the hood over my head before making the way out of the main gate. Thankfully, there weren't too many papz which helped me in reaching the car quickly.

As he pulled the car out of the drive-way, I let out a heavy sigh and got rid of my shades after pulling down the hood. "What happened, Alya? What's the urgency?" He asked, sounding too worried.

"Liam is at Claire's place." The moment those words left my mouth, his head, instantly, turned in my direction. "What?" He was too shocked.
