Switchblade heart (a one direction fan fiction)

chapter 5

Liam's POV------------------------------

As soon as the plane took off the gorgeous stranger fell asleep on my shoulder. Through the two hours that she was asleep I spent 30 minutes watching her sleep, not in a creepy way just a love filled way. 30 minute eating, 20 minutes on my phone, 30 minutes reading her book and 10 minutes waiting for her to wake up. Throughout sleeping, her hand found it's way towards mine and was now holding it firmly stiffening up every now and then, I was guessing she was having a night-terror. Poor girl, I would rub my thumb in circles over her hand to soothe her, when she finally woke up she was a bit drowsy, so she didn't notice that we she was holding my hand. She smiled at me sweetly, she was adorable when she looked sleepy, I smiled back. "Hey, your still here, I figured you would be gone by the time I woke up." she said looking at me, her eyes widened "I mean not that I don't want you here, you're really sweet, it's just...everyone leaves me." she said looking down and then gasping at our hands. She quickly tugged her hand away from mine and started spilling apologies, "It's fine love, you were scared, I don't blame you." I said soothingly which seemed to work because her shoulders loosened up and she sighed a breath of relief. I looked at her eyes for the first time and saw that they were green, just like harry's which made me smile. "What?" she asked cautiously, "nothing just, your eyes remind me of a friend of mine." I said with another smile. She looked into my eyes and her eyes dulled, "So do yours." she said flatly, but with a hint of sadness. I feel like I did something wrong, all I did was mention her eyes....maybe it was her friend, what happened to him? I asked exactly that and her eyes glazed over and flashed a color of orange, was I seeing right? I looked again and her eyes were back to green. "You'll have to get me drunk to get me to answer that." she laughed, I could see that she was straining not to do something. "Ok then I guess I will, drinks are on me." I said and rang for the flight attendent, when she approached my seat I asked her for some drinks. Before drinking she warned me saying, "My hair and eyes change color so don't flip out when that happens. I'll explain later if you have any questions, hell you can probably get it out of me while I'm drunk." she said taking a drink of the whiskey placed infront of her she passed the bottle to me and I sipped some. After several shots of tequilla, a glass of gin, rum, and scotch, and a whole bottle of vodka, she started spilling the beans. I myself hadn't drank as much as she did so I wasn't completely hammered, I wanted to remember everything she told me. "So what about your friend what happened to him?" I asked kind of amused by her drunken state right now. "Ha who..? The one with eyes like yoursss??" she slurred with a hiccup and a giggle, I smirked and nodded, she quickly frowned and looked away. "He's dead." she said plainly, tears running down her cheeks. Oh god, I feel terrible for bringing it up, "h-how did he die?" I asked cautiously wiping her tears away. This question must have struck a memory, because she bursted into tears, "I-I'm s-so s-sorry I didn't m-mean it." she said, letting the tears flow out of her. "What do you mean? It's ok, I know you didn't mean it, but I can't forgive you until you tell me what it is." I talked to her as if I were talking to a child, bringing her into my embrace and running my hand over her now black hair, well she did warn me. "I-I k-killed h-him." she said between sobs, I stopped my hand in the middle of her hand, she couldn't be serious, she might seem mean and tough but she was sweet. "H-How?" I don't think I want to know "It wasn't my fault I tryed to save him, but everything just happened so quick and I don't know" she was still crying. I felt terrible, it really did seem like she didn't mean to do it, everyone was staring at us but I didn't really care, she needed comfort like I had needed comfort. She gave me comfort so now I'll give it to her, "slow down baby, just calm down, breathe." I said slowly as she started to calm her breathing. "Ok, well I-I was heading to bed when I got a call from my friend, scotty. He needed help, I panicked and went over to where he instructed, but I soon found out it was a trap, some people who have been trying to dissect me like a frog and use me as a science project were holding him against his will. They had bagged two people's heads and told me to kill one, if not they would kill both. I read both of the people's minds but they were both empty which told me they were passed out, so I pick the person on the right and killed him. I picked the right person, they unbagged scotty's head then shot him in the head, I had gotten so mad but all I could do was cry and run away, I didn't do anything about it. I killed him." she snuggled into me slowly calming down again. I kissed the top of her head, I kind of understood now it wasnt even her fault, the people she was talking about had killed him. Who were those people? And why did they want to "disect" her? I had so many questions but I would have to ask them later. I looked at my watch, it was 9:30, we had 3 more hours until we landed in london. She wasn't stable enough to go on her own, but I couldn't just take her home, what about her family? I don't even know why she's going to london, I guess I'll ask her later right now I'm exhausted. And what about the boys? How am I supposed to explain why I brought her home? 'Hey guys I met this girl on the plane in washington, got her drunk and now she can't go home by herself even though she might have a family looking for her right now' yea that wouldn't make me seem like a creep. I soon fell asleep holding her in my arms she was warm and it was dark outside of the plane where the clouds were starting to form into rain clouds. As I was finally going to fall asleep I heard her whisper something, "thank you for being here for me, even though I'm a handful, you barely know me but you know what to say and do. I really like you." "I like you too" I whispered back and fell asleep with the warmness of her in my arms.
