The Direction Games

Chapter 14 - Liam Disses Claire

*Liam's POV*

I was heading towards my room as I noticed a girl against a wall. I was a little scared, but then again, a lot has been happening these days. I started walking away from the girl, but I looked back, and I saw her following me. I started walking a little faster and then quickly after it changed to a jog. I wanted this girl to get away from me. I didn't know what her problem or what her deal was, but she was starting to really scare me.

"Liam!" The girl says, as she touched my shoulder, and I literally freaked out.

"What do you want?" I asked her, pushing her hand away from me.

"I like you!" She answers.

"I don't even know you! Who are you?" I shouted, as I kept on moving away, and then quickly started to run.

"Claire! I'm one of the girls that got entered into the game!" Claire answers.

"What is your problem? Do you have somewhere to be? I hope I don't have to kick someone else out," I say, getting real annoyed.

"I don't have a problem! You're my problem!" Claire says, as she grabs me, and pushes me against a wall. She held my arms down, and I thought I was going to get raped or something, right there. I was so scared.

"Get off of me! You know I can call security on you!" I shouted, and I thought someone would hear me.

"No, you're not going anywhere!" She says, and I try to break away.

"I hope you won't rape me," I snapped.

"Are you serious? I'm not like that."

"Then what are you like?" I asked.

"I just want a kiss," She says, as she leans in to try to kiss me, but I slap her. "Ow!" She holds her mouth, and I break away, running.

"Haha!" I say, looking back at her, as I saw her running after me. "Oh shit!" I say, as she was running real fast. "Damn she runs so fast!"

"Liam, you can't out run me!" She says, as I kept on running until I ran right into Louis.

"Woah! Hold your horses!" Louis holds onto me, having me to stop. I was out of breath.

"There's a girl after me!" I was trying to get my breath back.

"What did she do?" He asked.

"Try to kiss me."

"Oh, wow. Would you want me to do something about it?" He offered.

"No, she might try to kiss you. Her name is Claire."

"Claire? I think I heard of her. Have you seen Niall?" He asked.

"Nope. Haven't seen him. Where's Zayn?" I shooked my head.

"In the bathroom. Wanna make a guess?" Louis laughed.

"I have a feeling. You don't need to tell me," I sighed.

"Where did the girl go?" He asked.

"Liam!" I saw the girl, and I quickly started freaking out again. Louis went in front of me to stop the girl.

"Liam isn't here," Louis replied.

"But I just saw him!"

"Well, he isn't here. Come back later."

"Can I kiss you instead?" She asked, and I wanted to jump out and scare her or something.

"Kiss your ass," Louis laughed, and I laughed in the background.

"That is so rude! Who was laughing in the background?" She asked, walking closer, but Louis blocks her off.

"Nobody. Maybe it was just your imagination," Louis told her.

"I don't think so, Lou. Move aside!" She pushes him away. Damn she was so strong. Once she saw me, I started to scream like a girl, and Louis started cracking up.

"You scream like a girl!" Louis says, and I ignore him.

"I like it!" Claire replied.

"Get away from me!" I kept on running, and Claire grabbed me by my shirt.

"Woah, woah, get off of him!" Louis snapped, pushing Claire off.

"No!" Claire shouted, grabbing me again, but in a bad spot this time.

"Ow! Oh gosh, bad spot," I screamed in pain.

"What spot?" Louis asked, laughing.

"You are a freak. Go away. Nobody will ever like you if you do this," I snapped, and she took her hands off of me. Maybe that made her stop for good.

"Why do you have to be so mean?" Claire started to cry, and she sits down on the ground, crying in her hands. I started to feel really bad for her as I sit down next to her. She looks up at me, and I could tell her eyes were starting getting red. Louis stood against the opposite wall, looking at us.

"I'm sorry. Why are you crying?" I asked, feeling so bad for her. This wasn't right.

"Nobody likes me, okay," Was her answer.

"That could explain a lot," Louis rolled his eyes.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I'm a bitch. A lot of people have told me that before. I'm a rich and selfish girl that gets everything she wants. I only have one friend and she's here in the game with me. I don't really care about what people think of me because I think I'm so great. I thought if I was in this game, one of you guys would make me feel better about myself and change me. I do have a better side. You just saw my bad side," She started to sob this time, and I comforted her by patting her shoulder.

"Why do you have to grab me though?" I asked her.

"Sexual harassment," Louis mumbled.

"What was that Louis?" I asked him.

"Nothing Daddy."

"I'm sorry if you want to kick me out or something. If you could only see the better side of me. I don't think anyone would ever love me. I only had one boyfriend in my whole life. I thought he was so great. No! Found out he was a jerk. He used me. And he controlled me. I was such a mess then. That was the start of how I started to treat people. Hard to think that I was never really like this in the first place," Claire says, and we look at her, feeling really bad for her.

"That is awful. You know, we're always here for you. But that's not an excuse to act like such a bitch," Was my only response to her.

"I know. I'm trying to stop acting like one, but whenever I try, I still think of being one. If only there could be a guy that could change that," Claire sighs.

"I don't know, but if we maybe get to know each other a little better? I would like to see that good side of you," I smile, as I held onto her hand, and she looks down, blushing. I kiss her on the cheek.

"What was that for?" She smiled, and looked at me.

"Let's stand up," I say, as I help her up, as I was still holding on her hand.

"You like me?" She asked.

"Let's not get all excited," Louis laughs.

"Won't say that, but how about we talk later. Bye Claire," I kiss her on the cheek again, and we wave goodbye.

"Wait," She looks at me. "Liam, I'm sorry about grabbing you. That was a bad thing to do. But I hope you give me a chance."

"That sounds good, but I don't know if I would ever date you."

"Liam can do so much better," Louis whispers.

"That is okay. I don't think any of you would even date me in the first place. Well, that's okay. At least I'll try to change myself for the better," She says, as she starts walking away, and we watch her leave.
