Make You Feel My Love (One Direction)

Chapter Thirty-Two

**Chapter Thirty-Two**

•Liam's POV•

Once the show was over, I couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. Aside from the obvious ass

I've been to Erin lately, there was something else going on that I couldn't quite put my finger on. And hopefully it wasn't what I was thinking.

"Babe, where's Erin?" Niall asked Anabelle, looking around to see if she was anywhere in sight. And to my surprise, she wasn't. In fact, no one knew where she was or where she had gone.

"She was right here. We were all watching the show but I think she walked away to make a phone call. She seemed pretty upset." Anabelle admitted with an upset expression.

And then I remembered what I had said to her before we were going on stage. Why I even suggested it, I don't know. But now I knew that it was definitely effective.

"Liam, what did you say to her?" Harry growled, Paige holding him back sweetly with her hand firm on his chest.

"I just- I didn't think she'd take me seriously. I-I was just angry and-" I started to stutter, frantically looking around to try to figure out how to fix my mistake. Sure, I'm still angry that she never told me about the offer Simon gave her, but I couldn't afford to lose her. She means everything to me and she knows that. Or at least I hope she still knows that.

"Liam, what did you say to her!? Spit it out!" Niall shouted, becoming just as angry as Harry is.

"Well... I had said "I hope you have fun in America. I hear Harry likes American girls." And then I rushed on stage... Harry I'm sorry, I can't lose her this way. I don't know what to do." I quickly stuttered out. I was now in a state of panic. What if she really does take the job? And all of the trust I've worked for is now gone?

What if I've just ruined everything?

"You're a bloody idiot, do you know that?" Louis shouted, trying to walk towards me. Sara was trying to gently talk him out of acting rashly, but then my heart stopped.

Within seconds, all of our phones had gone off. And all of the texts we had received were from the same person.

New Message: Erin <3

As soon as I opened the message, I knew I would never forgive myself for causing her to be in this much pain. I knew that whatever she was going to say was totally and completely my fault.

From: Erin <3

Tomorrow night is my last night in Italy. The girls and I will be returning to the US the next morning, and I want to spend my last night doing something memorable. Figure something out? xx

"Wait, we're all leaving?" Sara asked, looking up at Louis with tears forming in her eyes.

"Well Sara, it was going to happen eventually... but that's not what worries me." Paige said, looking down at her feet as she wrapped her arms around Harry's waist.

"What is it, babe?" Harry asked with a concerned look on his face.

"What worries everyone is that Erin took the job in America instead of staying here. Why?" Anabelle said, Niall's arms wrapped comfortably around her waist.

"Well I don't blame her. If I had a boyfriend that was being a dick for NO REASON I'd want to leave too." Louis said, obviously talking about me.

But, he was right. I don't blame her either. No matter what though, I had to prove to her that I will do anything to fix this. I can't lose her right now. Not after everything we've accomplished together; everything we've worked towards.
