Because I'm Taken (Liam Payne)

Chapter 12; Because I'm Taken

Olivia

It's been two weeks, Pamela is still in a comatose state. She's just so lifeless, it sickens me. I feel worse everyday but yet at the same time I'm learning slowly to become happy again. Of course, I'm still going to be focused on her but I need to be happy. That's what Pam would want.

Everyday after school I go to the hospital to visit Pam. I sit at the side of her bed, holding her hand just hoping and praying she'll wake up. I've never really been religious but I've been praying quite often. There's mot much I can do in this situation but just hope.

My grades have dropped, mostly because I've missed many days of school. I've been getting bullied a bit, you would think that people would have common sense to realize this isn't time for that but nowadays no one even cares. I hear the people talking about me in class, in the halls, all around me. They'll look, then whisper and then laugh. It hurts. Before, none of this would have bothered me but now my barriers have fallen and I'm a direct target. I'm a weak helpless fish in a sea full of sharks that smell blood.

Liam's been a terrific help. He's never left my side. He's perfect, there is not one bit of him that is not flawless. He's an angel. I appreciate everything he has done for me. I think I'm falling for him. I'm falling hard and fast and I can't catch myself.

I looked around at the beautiful sight. The butterflies flew around the trees, bees buzzing around the flowers.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" I asked, looking up at Liam.

"Yes, but I know something that's beautifuler." He responded with a smile, placing a soft kiss to my lips.

"That's not even a word." I said giggling at the boy.

"It is now." Out of nowhere I felt my feet lift off the ground, my back and legs supported by two strong arms. I shreiked with surprise. Liam released a throaty laugh.

"I have a surprise for you." Liam said looking down at me as he carried me along to somewhere unknown.

"I think you just surprised me enough." I replied with a laugh.

"Cover your eyes." He said placing my hand over my eyes so I couldn't see. I moved my fingers apart slightly to peek up at him.

"Ah ah ah. No peeking." Damn it, he caught me.

I felt my feet gently rest on the ground again, I pulled my hand away from my eyes. I looked around me. There was a white gazebo decorated with flowers in front of me, the floral scent filled the air. There was a blanket and a basket on the floor of the gazebo with two soft drinks placed in the middle. It was so simple but yet it meant so much.

"You did this for me?" I asked, looking up at him on awe.

"I know it's not much but-" Liam shrugged shyly.

"It's perfect. It really is the little things that count." I said wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug.

"Come on, let's eat." He said to me, pulling me up the steps to the gazebo.

"I have another surprise for you." He said smiling at me. His beautiful smile showed pearly white teeth.

"Another? Are you serious?" I asked surprised. He nodded and walked over to a corner of the gazebo, grabbing a guitar I hadn't even noticed was there. He sat down in front of me, tuning the guitar to his desired tone and began to strum. The melody was so beautiful, like nothing I had ever heard before. He began to sing.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me

But bare this in mind it was meant to be

Now I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks and it all makes sense to me

I know you never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile

You've never loved your stomach or your thighs

The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine

But I'll love them endlessly

He continued to sing the song, his voice fluttering through the warm spring breeze, he sounded like an angel. I never knew he could sing like that.

"I'm in love with you and all your little things." He sang, strumming the last few chords left on the guitar. I felt tears trickle down and a giant smile spread across my face. I enveloped him in a hug.

"That was beautiful. I never knew you could sing like that." I breathed, breaking from the hug to look at him. He blushed, it was the cutest thing I had ever seen in my life.

"Thank you." He said smiling at me widely, exposing his teeth once more.

"I love you." I said, smiling up at him a bit shyly.

"I love you too, Liv." He leant down and placed a long warm kiss to my lips.
