Only Time Will Tell...(Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 7- Scars

I have never felt this bad in my entire life. Not only did I wake up throwing up, but I had the worst headache I've ever had. I woke up very confused of what happened last night. I remember small things, but not a lot. I don't really remember the club that much, but somehow, I remember the conversation I had with Liam before I went to sleep. Why would he want to be friends now? He had two years for that. We're two completely different people now. I just don't know if I can handle being friends with him. He lives in a completely different world than I do, and I don't think I can take the pain of seeing him with millions of girls all the time. It would be too hard... 

The worst part of having a hangover, is the dry throat feeling you get. I'm dizzy as at is, but I need something to drink. Every sound I hear makes me cringe. I am never drinking again. 

"BROOKE," Anna yelled from downstairs. "COME DOWN HERE PLEASE."

I could feel my headache getting worse and worse.

"WHAT?" I screamed back, annoyed.

"You look like shit," Anna looked directly at me. 

"Wow, I know... thanks," 

"How are you feeling?" 

"How do you think?" I said, laughing. 

"Horrible?"

"Yeah.." I started to feel dizzier and dizzier. 

"So...about last night," Anna said, wanting answers. 

"Can we please not talk about this right now? I feel like shit."

"Brooke, you promised you would tell me today. I'm just confused about the whole thing. Being friends with Liam Payne is not something to hide or be embarassed about. What aren't you telling me?" 

"I'm not embarrassed about it," I can tell she wasn't going to stop until I finally told her. 

"Then what? Please explain."

"I just... um... it makes me sad thinking about it."

"Why would it make you sad?"

"Cause I think I love him. Uh... well, I did...."

"Wait, what?"

"Liam and I were friends for 10 years. We grew up together. At first we were just best friends but I began to like him more than a friend and things were different. I never told him how I felt cause I knew he didn't feel the same."

"Why would you never tell him? It sure as hell seems like he liked you last night."

"I really don't see that being true, Anna. See, we were such good friends and he was basically all I had. I haven't always been the way I am now. I didn't have many friends back in Wolverhampton and I was really shy and self conscious. He was always there for me when I needed someone.  Then he decided to try out for The X-Factor, and made it on the show again. When he came home to say bye to everyone and everything before he went back to London for the show, he said bye to me..."

"And..."

"Well, he kissed me..."

"Liam kissed you????" you could tell Anna was shocked. 

"Yeah, which sucked because it just made my feelings stronger. I kept trying to convince myself it was just a friendly goodbye kiss, but I couldn't get myself to believe that. Of course I wanted it to be more than that. Do you really want me to keep going?" I looked right at Anna. 

"Uh, of course." 

"Well, when he was in London for the show, we barely talked. He was gone for a good 7 months and that left me thinking for 7 months what that kiss meant to him."
