Loving Liam||l.p.

Chapter 1

"CHASTITY ERIDENA WILSON GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW." Mum shouted from the staircase, making me flinch. I groaned inwardly before trudging away from my laptop and down the stairs. "What mum?" I sighed. She was definitely not sober from what I could tell.

My mother was a huge alcoholic, and she would always drink when she got home. Of course, I didn't want anyone to know because I just don't need the attention. If you have real problems, especially with family, you don't broadcast it to the world.

You keep quiet, and hope to god that nobody finds out.

"WHAT IS THIS?" She asked,pointing to a few text messages on her phone. "Mum that's not even my phone!" I say taking out my phone."I don't...care you slut." She slurred, grabbing me by the hair.

"OW MUM STOP YOU'RE HURTING ME!" I screamed, as she threw me into the wall. She was never this violent, so what happened today that could make her so evil?

"Damn right I'm hurting you, you whore!" She spat, slapping me across the face.

She was beating me to a bloody pulp,and yet I know that she wouldn't remember about this In the morning. She'd just be hungover. Eventually I passed out, unable to even think over the constant pounding in my head. I might even have a concussion.

*LIAM'S POV*

I look over to Niall, who was just mindlessly plucking random strings on his guitar. "Could you lower that down a bit or go somewhere else? That sounds terrible." I say, making Niall look up from the acoustic. "You sound terrible." He tried to deliver a comeback, but failed miserably.

"Yeah. Nice one." I chuckle.

"Hey Niall." I said, throwing a crumpled piece of paper at him, which miraculously got stuck in his blonde quiff. "Whaaat?" He groaned, pulling the paper out of his hair. I was thinking of a new song, and quite frankly, Niall's dumb guitar wasn't helping. "Let's just work on the new song, yeah?" I ask him, and he nods. "Sure." He shrugs, just as Louis entered the room.

"'Sup? Oh god please forget that even came out of my mouth." He said, plopping down in a chair next to me. "So I was thinking a name for the song, and I really think it should be named 'Love Somebody.'" Louis said, and I nodded. "Sounds good. Niall?" I turn to him.

"I'm hungry." He "Seriously? Fine. Where do you want to eat?" I asked.

"I was thinking of Nandos." Niall said.

"I'm good. Thanks for asking." Louis said as Niall and I exited the building, calling an über to take us to the pizza place that Niall loved so much. Once we got there, Niall put on a hat and sunglasses, to make sure no one saw him.

He came back out ten minutes later holding two large pizzas and a soda. Niall went inside the car and the über drove us back to the hotel to eat pizza with the boys.

*CHASTITY POV*

I woke up with a strange dream with my mom actually being nice to me, but one thing that was strange was that she was okay. Like, actually okay with me doing what I wanted, doing what I pleased. But of course, I knew it was a dream. I knew from the moment I'd dreamt it that it was a dream, but I didn't have the strength to tell myself that.

It felt luxurious, the dream, and I didn't want it to end. But my mother's scream had woken me up, and by the time I was able to remember what my dream was, I had already darted out my room to my mother's. My mom shouted my name, her voice shaky. She was never scared, so this was probably something horrid. Like, terribly horrid.

"ILL BE RIGHT THERE!" I shouted back, bursting through the door, only to witness a man in a black hoodie sliding a knife against my mother's neck.
