Learn To Love Again (Liam Payne)

Chapter 12

*Liam's POV*

I laid down on my bed, letting out a frustrated huff. Stormy this, Stormy that, I felt like I couldn't escape her.

Not that I minded the constant reminders of her. I just felt like everyone else was trying to bring us together, and that angered me. I was supposed to be the one to control my own life, especially my love life!

Of course I fancied Stormy, only a crazy person wouldn't. But I had to show everyone that I, Liam Payne, only me, controlled who I fell in love with.

I rolled over on my stomach and groaned as my cell phone went off. I pulled my phone off the bedside table and looked at my text.

~Sexy Edwards~

•Hey good lookin! How are you? :) x•

I smiled at my phone, Chloe was sweet, pretty, and I actually genuinely liked her. She was no Stormy, obviously, but I knew that I had to move past that girl. I knew that if I gave Chloe the chance, she would help me get over that beautiful, kind, funny... Lets just say that it might take a while to get over Stormy, but I had to do it.

~Liam~

•Aha hey there! I was just thinking about you:) I'm doing well, and yourself? x•

I sighed and laid my head down on my pillow, it was time for a nap. My eyes had just started to close when I heard a frantic scream from the hallway.

"LIAM!" I shot up out of bed and ran into Dani in the hallway. She was freaking out, sobbing, talking gibberish and slapping my arms. I grabbed her shoulders firmly and gently shook her, getting her to pay attention to me. Michael had showed up and was a tad panicky himself, probably wondering what on earth had gotten into his girlfriend.

"Dani, slow down! What happened?" I asked calmly. Dani was still wiggling in my arms and shouting, but I understood her this time.

"Stormy took painkillers and locked her self in the bathroom!" She sobbed. I shook my head in disbelief. No Storm, please no.

"Please Liam you have to help me! Please! Please don't let her die!" Dani pleaded.

I sprinted past her to the bathroom door and jiggled the doorknob.

Locked.

"Crap." I whispered to myself. I looked back at Michael and Dani. A teary-eyed Michael had a weeping Dani in his arms. They both looked utterly hopeless.

No. Stormy will live. I won't let this happen.

I stepped back so the opposite wall to the door was at my back. I silently prayed that this wouldn't hurt Stormy any worse, but either this or she does in that bathroom all alone. I won't let that happen.

I turned and braced myself before giving a Tarzan scream and slamming into the door with all the force I could give. Surprisingly the door gave away and I stumbled into the bathroom.

I looked around frantically before spotting a body lying down BESIDE the now -open doorway. My breath hitched, but I quickly started to breath again when I noticed the slow but definite rise and fall of her chest.

"She's breathing!" I exclaimed. "She's still alive!" I let out a quick sigh of relief before I gathered her in my arms bridal style and ran into the hallway.

"I'll get the car!" Dani was suddenly able to function again. With everything this girl has been through, I had to give her props. She was good to step up when people needed her, when Stormy needed her. And I loved her for that!

"I'll drive!" Michael exclaimed. He knew me so well.

No way was I leaving Stormy's side.
