The Horror Of Love (AU)

Chapter 7

Liam P.O.V

I was sitting my car waiting for Zayn to get my smoothie from this new smoothie shop we had found, it had some amazing smoothies. Suddenly Zayn came in and sat down huffing.

"What is it mate?" I asked but not really interested at all, no my mind was in other places at the moment. 

"Arura wasn't there." He pouted. My head snapped up at the sound of her name.

"Arura?" I asked in a hiss. He nodded not catching on to my mood. "You are going to stay away from her... She's mine!!!" 

"Oh so that's the girl... Hmm.. That's not fair Li she's really pretty." He whined.

"I don't care from now on I'll be getting our smoothies." 

"Alright mate. But just don't let this one get to you like Sandy." I winced at the name. "Sorry." I nodded in response. 

************************************ Arura's P.O.V*****************************

I slowly woke up, realizing I wasn't in my own bed. Where am I? 

"Oh would you look at that she does  live!" A voice I thought I'd never hear again exclaimed. NO! No no no no no no no NO! He wasn't supposed to ever find me again! I stared at him in horror."Oh come on don't tell me you don't remember last night?" I said nothing but backed away from him slightly but it was no use because he noticed. Smirking he stalked towards me like a lion stalking his pray.

"I-I th-thought yo-u were do-ne w-with me?" Damn it! My stutter was back! He grinned. 

"I could never be finished with you Ar. You'rethe only one I want. I love you." His told me while cupping my face. I squeezed my eyes shut. I refused to hypnotised by his beautiful green eyes. 

"You're a dangerous sociopath who can't feel anything." I spat and I knew that was the wrong move because he raised his hand to slap me when his phone rang.

"Oh you're a lucky girl today Arura." He pecked my lips and I had to stop myself from actually spitting in his face. "Hello... No.... I promised I wouldn't..... That's not my problem anymore.. Alright." He hung up then looked at me again. "You didn't tell me you needed therapy to get over me."

"I didn't therapy to get over you I need therapy to get over what you did to me!" I saw something flash  in his eyes but I couldn't place it before it disappeared.

"So how have you been since we broke up?" He asked getting comfortable on the bed. I sighed knowing that I better play along at least a little bit to save my ass in the long run. Literally.

"Well when we..."I glance at him."broke up I moved away from Mum and Papa because I couldn't be in that area anymore it just.. tortured me. So I got a place in London got a job at a smoothie shop. I almost lost my flat so I tried to find another job but nobody was hiring or I was fit for the job, everything was just going to shit. Then one day a regular came in and told me there was an opening at the bar she worked at so I decided to get a job there. I became friends with all the employs at both jobs. I finally got my life back on track.. but then the nightmares came back... I used to have these nightmares when I was a child, I told you about them didn't I?" I paused looking up at Darren. It wasn't hard to realize why I fell for him in the first place. He was very attractive for his age only being a mere 10 years older then me. I felt myself slowly falling back into his trap. He nodded smiling slightly. And it was back how we used to be just us as friends who may or may not have crushes on each other. "Yeah well they came back and worse this time... I-I just I-... so I started therapy it helped for a little bit but then they tried to start talking to you and I thought about quiting but Perrie convinced me to keep going and that everything would be fine in the end and I just..." I didn't realize I was crying until Darren shushed me and pulled me into his chest running a soothing hand over my hair and down my back.

"It's alright. Shh. I'll try harder this time." He whispered in my hair.

"You promise?" My voice broke in several different places but I didn't care I was about to get my Darren back.

"Yeah I do." He lightly pressed his lips against my head and I lent into his touch, sighing contently.
