You wake up the next morning with Liam's arms wrapped around your waist. You try to pull away from his tight grip, but everytime you pulled away, he held on to you tighter.

"Liam, let go," you whisper.

"Hmm" he answers groggily.

You hear a knock on your door. It's your mom.

"hun, come on down and get some breakfast!" 

You start to panic. "umm..uh, okay"

You hear her walk away and her footsteps padding down the stairs.

"Liam, go home" you say demandingly.

"Can I stay for breakfast?" he says with that dumb puppy dog look again.

"What the hell? No way. If my parents found out you stayed the night here I will literally be grounded for the rest of my life."

He looks at you, then drops down to your chest.

"Oh my god, LEAVE" you shout angrily.

"Fine, fine. I'm leaving. But this isn't the last time we'll be sleeping together babe," he gives you a little wink and hops out of bed walking towards the window.

The only thing he was wearing was a pair of dark grey sweat pants. His muscles were bulging in his arms, along with his well-defined abs.

"do you work out?" you say, realizing that those words just slipped out. You felt like a complete idiot for asking that.

"yeah" he smirks at you, pulling his shirt over his head and jumping out the window onto the tree branch.

"I'll text you later babe" he climbs down the tree and walks out of sight.

"BROOKE, YOUR BREAKFAST IS GETTING COLD!" your mother yells up to you. She was always so impatient.

"coming!" you say and open your door and walk down the stairs, into the kitchen.

"who were you talking to up there?" you mom asks immediately as you walk in the kitchen.

"oh, uh, I was, uh, talking to Kate on the phone?" you furrow your eyebrows. It came out more as a question than it was meant to be. You cursed yourself under your breath for being a horrible liar.

"but I heard another voice? It sounded like a boy. Brooke.. what are you hiding?"

"mom I'm not hiding anything! I had Kate on speaker and we were doing our best impressions of a man." Really Brooke, really? That's the best you can do?

You sit down at the bar stool and get two pancakes and drizzle syrup all over them.

"well, if I hear anymore boys voices coming from up there, I won't hesitate to take your door of the hinges."

"mom, that's so unfair! I NEED my door!" you shout, starting to get angry.

"just don't let it happen again." and with that, she walks out of the kitchen.

UGH. You think to yourself. You hated how strict your mom was being. She had always been like this. You were always so jealous of all the other people at your school getting to do whatever they wanted, when they wanted. They never had to worry about their parents getting in the way.

You finish eating your pancakes, and walk back upstairs to your room, When you get there, you find your mom sitting on your bed, looking through your phone.

"MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" you scream. You could feel the heat rising in your face.

"I should have known all of this was about a boy. Who's Liam?"

"MOM YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LOOK THROUGH MY PERSONAL MESSAGES."

You walk up, snatch the phone right out of her hand, grab your purse, and run downstairs and out the door. You didn't care where you were going. As long as you could get away from here.

You run past all the houses in your neighborhood, and out onto the main highway. You tried to cross, but there was too many cars that you didn't have enough time to, so you just walked along the ditch.

You look in your purse and find your headphones. THANK GOD.

You plug the headphones into your phone and and put them in your ears. You start listening to the song "Brave" by Sara Bareilles. 

You look over at all the traffic, and notice a car pulling over beside you, and you recognize who it is as soon as you see them.

Liam.
