♡ Emily's POV ♡

"Ok what happened in there?! Tell me everything!" Melissa squealed.

"Melissa nothing happened." I laugh.

"You just came out of a closet with Liam Payne! You can't tell me absolutely nothing happened!"

"Well... He wanted to know about me. He wanted to know my story." I smiled inwardly and blushed.

"And?!" She asked stretching out the three letter word.

"I told him. He's amazing Melissa... He told me he cared about me. He told me that when he saw me sad it hurt him more than it should've."

"Aww it sounds like someone's got a crush on you!"

"What?! No he can't have a crush on me..."

"Why not?! He's Liam fucking Payne!"

"I know... But I don't want another relationship."

"Is it because of Dylan?" She asks.

"Yes. It's because of him. I don't want someone to hurt me like that again..." I explain.

"Emily... Believe me. Liam would never do that to you."

"How can you be sure? How do you know that he won't hurt me? How do you know he's not going to hit me? How do you know he won't break me like Dylan did?"

"Em. I promise you he will never hit you. Liam is not that kind of person. He would never try to hurt you. I know that for a fact."

"But still. He seems like a great guy. But so did Dylan. Dylan promised me he wouldn't hurt me and he did. He abused me Melissa. He gave me bruises that won't go away."

"Liam's not like that... Trust me. I'm your best friend. You have to believe me."

"Hell even if I did believe you it's not like he would date me anyway. He probably thinks I'm a psychopath! I showed him my cuts. I showed him my arms. I'll never forget his face... He was scared. He was terrified. He'll probably never talk to me again. He probably said all of those things out of pity. Probably because he feels sorry for me."

"Em." She says and puts a hand into my shoulder.

"I don't want to talk about it... Can we just go home?" I ask as a fresh tear falls onto my cheek.

As we start to walk a voice behind us stops me.

"You think I'm going to abuse you?" He asks.

I spun around on my heel. How long had he been standing there? Apparently long enough to hear the conversation about Dylan...

"How much did you hear?" I ask nervously.

"Enough... Why do you think I would hurt you?"

"Because of her ex..." Melissa added.

"Why would you think that I'm anything like him?" He asks inching closer to us.

"It's not that I think you're like him it's just that I don't trust people as easily."

"Melissa can you give us a second?"

"Yeah sure! I'll be outside. Just send her out when you're finished."

Melissa walked away down the corridor. Liam's hands attached to my shoulders. I looked up into his eyes and he had hurt written all over his face.

"Why can't you trust me?" He asks.

"I told you... My ex boyfriend-" I started.

"But I'm nothing like him... I know we just met, and I know that you're hurting. But I really like you."
