Half as Much (Liam Payne Love Story)

Broken Pieces

Liam's POV

I stared at the wooden door, but weather it was out of shock or fear, I didn't know. She didn't let me tell her that I already knew, and I loved her all the same. I shouldn't have raised my voice at her, how could I have been so stupid? Jealousy, that damn bastard. I knew Sam was trying to say something, but the words never reached her mouth.

Niall spoke up, "Why were you yelling?"

"I guess it all just slipped. I hated that she wouldn't tell me, yet you all knew. All of you, but Louis I guess." I said quietly.

"She had her reasons you know."

"It wouldn't have mattered I already knew..."

Sam's voice piped up now, "You knew? You knew and you didn't think to share this with anyone?" she was mad, it was no guess, " You didn't think that maybe, if you would have told, that she wouldn't be God knows where or maybe she wouldn't be secluding herself from everyone, including me? No instead you kept you trap shut cause you couldn't think to think of others."

"Sam you don't understand! I wanted so bad too tell her! I wanted to, but she didn't want me to know and I thought maybe that was just so I could gain her trust! I didn't want her to think I was just eavesdropping and that I would disrespect her in that way! I wanted to give her what she wanted and I didn't tell her! I didn't think she wouldn't ever tell me!" I shouted before I sunk to the ground in defeat, " I thought I was doing the right thing..."

How could I have been so stupid?

Sam was quiet for some time before she spoke again, "Well?"

Puzzled I lifted my head, "Well what?"

"Go get her!" she slowly lifted a smile, "I'm sure you can find her."

I stood up and hugged Sam close, "I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me that, I'm not the one who needs to hear it."

"Thank you." I smiled at her before darting back to the door.

How could I have been so stupid?

Sonni's POV

I sat along the edge of some pier at some park, it's not really possible for me to know exactly where I am.

"How could I have been so stupid? More so, how could I have been so careless? I shouldn't have let him into my life; any of them. Liam, Zayn, Harry, Louis, even Niall. I should have known it'd end badly. Damen, what am I going to do?" I sighed scratching his ears, "It feels like you're the only one I can trust"

I swished my feet back and forth through the water, the cold tingling between my toes. I could feel the heat of the sun on my back and my long hair brush against my arms.

"It's you and me, Damen. I know you won't leave me, even if you could you wouldn't."

Damen let out a long breath setting his head in my lap. "Maybe we could go on our own adventure, just the two of us. Travel wherever our hearts desire... Back to America..." I could go back... I wonder if mom and dad would like that...

"When are you planning on leaving?" his voice said behind me.

How does he always find me?

Liam's POV

I ran all over the area for her, I could have just taken the car, but I was in too much of a rush... if that makes any sense. I was running through the park when I saw her long hair blowing in the breeze and her slim figure hunched over at the end of the pier.
