Chapter 5 – Understatements

Letting go is an understatement. It is an understatement because when someone really loves the other, to whom with all their heart, they try and laugh it off. They laugh it off because they don’t want to get hurt and, they’re scared because they don’t want to lose that somebody. Understatements are shit and they hurt people all the time. And, this is what I'm feeling at the moment.

I know I love Faith like she is my sister; but I’m dreading that moment when I have to leave her . It’ll feel like I’m leaving a part of me behind, my soul, my other half and I'm not ready for that yet.  I punch myself every day for believing that I’ll see her again; when I know that I won’t. I have to wait until christmas and that's five months away!

Anyways, a few hours later. I had finished clearing up, Faith’s blood. Surprisingly, the wounds had cleared up pretty well. A private doctor had been round to scan her and -thankfully-, the results were not fatal. 

As she -slowly-, woke up, I noticed that her mouth was trembling and, a tear fell from her corners. I returned a smile as I began to sing, in a soft tone. It was To Love Somebody by Bee Jee. It was one of my favourites.

There’s a light,

a certain kind of light,

 That never shone on me,

I want my life to be – lived with you,

Lived with you.

I cradled Faith in my arms and rocked her gently, as the words came out of my mouth. I knew that, after today, the hardest thing in my life; would be leaving her and I still didn’t know if I was ready for that. I knew that I had to trust the boy; but he at least had to promise me that he wouldn’t let go of her. 

At once, the door opened, and the boy came strutting in like he owned the place.

 “Hey, sorry about that, I just got off the phone” the boy said approaching me.

I could have slapped myself because I was still singing. Although -I continued to rock her in my arms; regardless of the boy's presence. For every word I sang, I wanted her to know that I meant every, single one. Faith was looking at me as her life depended on it, and that was refreshing. It was that look -she gave me-, that reminded me of my mother singing as she lullabied me to sleep, every night. Faith’s eyes reminded me of her.

 I was completely oblivious to the world and I didn’t notice the boy sitting down next to me. I was still the heart-less girl; but what happened today, had changed me a lot. I sang,the next chunk, smiling as I did so.

In my brain,

I see your face again,

I know your frame of mind,

You aint got to be so blind,

And I’m blind, so very blind,

I’m woman can’t you see

“Hey” the boy said again and I stopped.

“Oh hi” I replied slapping myself mentally, for singing out loud.

 “Sorry, for intruding; I just wanted to give you some space” the boy said.

“No. It’s fine, honestly. You’ve done enough” I snapped and I heard him chuckle.

There was a few moments pause, before one of us spoke and he piped up.

“Look, I had a word –with Paul- and he said that he’s willing to give you a lift to college… if you want?” the boy asked solemnly.

I didn’t want to go to college, I really didn’t. I knew why I was with Faith -now-, and I wasn’t ready to let her go. I wasn’t ready. I had a lump, in my throat and it was hard to swallow.  The thought of leaving her made me cringe and I knew that I couldn’t.

I guess it was because I couldn’t trust Liam. The result of Liam, letting her go was serious and she got hurt. My resistance –of letting her go- grew stronger and my protection was resilient. If the boy was about to take her off me, I was going to bitch slap him and I wouldn’t care about the reaction.

 “I don’t even know who you are?” I asked.

“I’m Liam” he said, looking at me with piercing eyes.

“Liam who, though? Can’t I just call you the retarded boy?” I asked him. He gasped, offended of my suggestion.

“I’m Liam Payne!” he said and that is when four lads came swaggering in.

:~:~:~:

A/N: Haha! Katie still has no idea that the lads are internationally famous and that's what I love about her. She doesn't find out till later, in the story.
