Scattered Love (Liam Payne - One Direction)

After Math (chapter 4)

Hope's POV

"I'm sorry that tonight was ruined." Liam said as he leaned closer and closer staring at my lips and with one quick movement kissed my left cheek.

"Goodnight hope. See you at school" And with that, Liam walked towards his car and zoomed off. I was dumb founded. And a little ashamed to say that I felt a twinge of disapointment. I couldn't see his car anymore since it had went up a hill leaving me standing there shocked. I took a few steps back and leaned against my door and uncausious felt my own hand rise up to the spot that Liam had just kissed. I went inside and almost the moment I took my shoes off, my mom jumped out.

"AHHH! what the hell mom?" I screamed not knowing where and how my mom just jumped out.

"Hey! Watch your mouth! So how did the date go? Did he kiss you? Did you do anything? Wait where you cheating on Tyler?" My mom was bombarding me with questions but as soon as she mentioned Tyler, my face fell. I felt myself tearing up again. Oh why did i have to be so emotional? Why can't I just be like Josh? Josh was always tough like a rock and I have never seen him shed a tear once in his life except for that one time when dad left and he didnt want to see mom crying. He had made himself a mental barrier that no one could get inside. He pledged to be our protector from that day on and to not let a single person hurt us ever again.

"Aw! Hope whats the matter? is there something wrong between you and Tyler?" My mom said while her eye brows scrunched up in concern. I couldn't cry anymore I was done with being broken. My mom had pulled me in a tight embrace and I just replied calmly.

"Its fine mom. Me and Liam had a great time. we were just about to leave when tyler called and broke up with me." I just hope mom doesnt tell Josh. If he finds out, then he would fly all the way back to Canada and beat the crap out of Tyler for hurting me. I sometimes think he is way too protective but I apreciate his concern and love.

"Honey! Its alright! Tyler isnt worth your tears. I had a bad feeling about that kid anyways." My mom said as she rubbed circles on my back.

"I'm going to bed to think mom." I said trying not to be rude but I needed alone time.

"Ok I love you sweet heart." I heard mom say as I headed back towards my room. I took a long shower and got in my pajamas and layed in bed with my mind racing. After a while, I heard Josh come home after the job interview.

"hey honey. how did the interveiw go?" my mom asked. Trying to hide the fact that I was asleep. I never went to bed this early and expecialy if Josh wasnt at home. I always waited until he came back to give him a light hug before bed. I know it sounds childish but I've been doing that ever since dad left and it kind of turned into a tradition.

"it was pretty good, I think I got a chance." Josh replied happily. "Where's Hope? She never sleeps this early. Is she upset?" Leave it to Josh to figure that something is wrong. His voice was dangerously getting quieter. I heard mom wisper something to him.

"HE WHAT!?" Josh yelled back at my mom in total disbelieve. My mom said something back calmly but I couldn't hear what she had said. I got out of bed and opened the door to see a very angry Josh. My mom was unnaturaly calm as if she had expected this.

"Its fine Josh. Please dont get mad." I said trying to convince him to be calm. Josh rushed over to me and pulled me into a firm hug. I could hardly breath. yep that is how strong Josh is. He works out at the gym whenever he has the chance to. He likes to have the tough guy look and that is just another way to get his walls higher protecting his emotions and our safety.

"Did he make you cry?" He asked trying to mask the anger in his voice. I knew if I told him the truth he would most definately beat up Tyler. I didn't mind if he wanted to. that just shows how much he cares about me. But still I'd feel terrible if Josh beat up Tyler bcause of me. I know for a fact that Josh can beat him to death if he wanted to.

"No. Its fine. He was a jerk." I lied to Josh. I felt really bad but I didn't want him ending up in jail for killing Tyler. Besides, it was only a simple break up. I think Josh really thought Tyler and I would last.

"If I see that little bas**** again I'll teach him a lesson for you dont worry." He said without a hint of joking in his eyes.

"Its fine Josh I don't wanna visit you in prison." I said trying to break the tension in the room. my mom just went and made Josh dinner.

"I'm going to bed." I said and returned to lying on my bed pointlessly.

Liam's POV

As I pulled over I realized that I was at a club. I never go to clubs though. I was just probably still mad about tonight so I guess since I'm already here I might as well get a drink.

I entered the club I was lucky cause the didn't ask for IDs. I sat down on a seat near the counter and asked for a light beer. The waitress that brought me my drink looked like a slut. she was barely wearing anything. she had a tight short dress with fish net leggings and has an overly small leather vest that just covered her chest. As I turned around I saw Zayn. I walked over to him careful not to get pushed by anyone.

"HEY! LIAM! What are you doing here!?" Zayn yelled over the loud music and cheering. He was one of my best friends and we shared everything together. He was a drop out but I knew him since elementary. He helped me through a lot and I him. I elped him through school when he wasn't a drop out. He helped me win a fist fight that some jerks brought up. They were blaming me for getting Zayn to pass his grades.

"Well I was going to see a movie with this girl I had met but her stupid ex-boyfriend had to dump her there." I said with my voice raised so Zayn could hear me. A tipsy blonde had just bumped into me and was now laughing hystericaly.

"Ah, that sucks. So why are you at a club?" Zayn said as he gently pushed the girl away from me.

"I dont actually know. I kind of just ended up here I guess." I replied honestly but Zayn was still trying to get the girl from getting too close to me.

"So are you here to drink your feelings away? Dont worry I'm a pro at that!" Zayn yelled trying to get heard over the laughter and the music.

"I guess, I dont know what kind of feelings though." I replied feeling confused. I'm geting quite annoyed with that girl now. she was all over me and Zayn. She was now moving her hand down Zayn's arm.

"Hey girl whats your name?" Zyan asked the girl clearly annoyed.

"Perrie." The girl said simply. Wait Perrie Edward? From little mix? "Perrie Edwards." She said conforming my guess. Zayn was talking to her the whole night about music and him always wanting to sing. I left shortly after that.

As I got in the car I kept thinking about Hope and her stupid ex. I couldnt help but text her. I had to make sure she was ok.

To Hope: Hey, are you ok? :(

almost imeadiatly she replyed back.

From Hope: Yep I'm fine thanks for asking. XX~~

At least she's ok. I headed back home to my flat. I locked my car and my door and headed upstairs to my room. The last thing I thought of is Hope with her flowing hair, sun dress, and her beautiful blue eyes before I fell into a deep sleep
