Well I don't really know what else to put in here....

                                            ****3 VOTES UNTIL NEXT UPDATE****

My voice sounds flirty and the words echo through the room. Wait I didn't say them that loud, it must just be in my head. "You tell me. You tell me. You tell me." What do I want him to tell me? I'm not even sure, all I know is if this moment lasts any longer my heart just might implode from stress and having Liam Payne's soft lips so close to mine.

His eyes are bright, searching mine before he huffs out a fustrated sigh and leans back. "Courtney, I just can't do this anymore."  Liam's words cut through my ringing mind and surround me, Danielle's snores seeming gone and the TV's blare less defeaning.

"Whatdoyoumean?" The words come out smushed together but it doesn't matter. He gets what I'm saying more than I do. I hope.

"I mean, I can't keep doing this. This being our relationship." He makes weird motions in the air with his hands and narrow my eyes, avoiding laughter at his seriousness. "I love you, you know that! But not  in the way you love me!!" He's on his feet now, pacing in front of me, his hands reaching behind his head. "Don't you get it? Knowing it's different for you, that this is all a mistake, unplanned, and awful. 

"So I'm sorry. I'm sorry for kissing you, for making you feel awkward, for possibly ruining our friendship, and anything else that might've slipped my mind!" My eyes no longer hold his, but only because he keeps his stare glued to the ground. 

"Liam. Liam! Just look at me." Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Tears are pooling to replace the ones already making their treck down his clean cut cheeks, making my own eyes sting. "I'm not gonna let you ruin our friendship over one little misunderstanding, actually more like you totally misreading every single thing I've said or done or anything." 

I'm standing in front of him now but my knees are shaking like I would've expected and my voice is the perfect mix of strong and vulnerable. My heartbeat pulses through every inch of my body-making my fingertips itch with the fast beat and my lips falter.

We're close, so close. It's like I've been flying my whole life and then Jacob left and suddenly I was out. Out of the plane. Out of hope. Out of life. And then I landed, on the ledge of loneliness. One Direction and suddenly that ledge was an overcrowded cliff that I was trying to be forced off. I wasn't ready to fall. I'm still not. Maybe that's the whole point though. No one wants to fall much less be pushed, but what about jumping, flying away? I'm not ready for that.

Can I tell him this? I think I should. I think he'd understand. But I also think to much, and maybe it's time to just feel.

"You're wrong." My words are just a whisper before I press my lips against his. Liam fights back at first, well actually he just doesn't react, and as I pull back to apologize he reacts, his hands finding my waist and tugging me even closer.

"WOOOOO! WAHOOOOO!!!" 

I spring away from him like a mad cat, falling over the sofa to land on my butt on the other side. Raising my head to see above the couch, I find Danielle standing on her own clapping wildly while Liam clutches his stomach in attempt to keep from dying.

"Bravo, my young love birds." She's smiling the Joker's classic smile and I'm tempted to go all Batman on her. A scowl laces its way onto my face as I climb back over the furnature to them.

"Very funny." I grumble, rubbing my aching bum.

"Oh, you know it." She aims a sly wink.

"I'll have to try this on Eleanor and Louis sometime.." I'd call the look he wears devilish but I know him as too much of a sweatheart to call him that. "It's pretty late though, you guys should go to bed. Here." He grabs my hand and signals for Danielle to follow. 

Getting dragged through his house not knowing where you're going only makes the house look bigger and by the time we make it to our destination I'm thinking it might just be the White House in disguise. He opens the door to a giant room somehow smaller than expected.

"So you get to stay in my room for tonight due to the fact all the other guys are slobs and we never really anticipated needing a guest room...There are clothes in the top drawer over there," He points to a dresser built into the wall. I have to wonder if he designed this layout himself or they payed some famous interior specialists to do it for them. "In case you need anything.

"I'll be sleeping in the movie room but so you don't get lost if you need me I'll have my phone on me." He smiles, whipping out his sleek iphone once he's done reading us our rights. I think he could make a good police officer, with those detail-catching eyes and athletic build.

"You're not just going to sleep in one of the boys messy rooms?" I raise an eyebrow quizzically.

"Not when I can sleep on clouds in there." Liam motions back to his left where I'm guessing the movie room is. Dang it, I've already forgotten which way we came to get to his room. 

"Whatever." Rolling my eyes, I slouch against the doorway. He begins to move to close the door and leave but hesitates, brown eyes warming with an idea.

"Sleep tight." He kisses me gently on the forehead, my eyes closing on impact, before suprising me again witha peck on the lips. When I open my eyes he's not staring down at me like normal, he's chuckling at Dan's reaction. 

"Oh don't mind me." She says,smugly eating potato chips from one of Li's cushioned chairs. "Just enjoyin' the veiw." 

I scowl, mumbling another goodnight to Liam before the door clicks shut. I lean against it for a minute, unsure of everything. "You're quite the comedian." I compliment, emphasis on the sarcasim.

"Always have been." She throws the remark back at me, rocking back in the chair. I roll my eyes but she continues to sit there, halfway supsended in air. "You know you're not getting any chips until you spill your guts about this boy." 

Sooo I updated and I like this chapter and I think the end is kinda close for this book but there are still a lot of things to wrap up so have no fear! 

God I hate allergies and a tornado just touched down 3 miles from here. O.O
