Obsessed with Perfection

Chapter 25

"We were talking" Aidan says clearing his throat. Hmm I was expecting a rather insolent comeback

"Danielle, are you okay? Did he hurt you? Did you touch her? I swear to god I will fucking kill you!" Liam snarls and I immediately stand in front of him

"Hey, hey calm down Liam look I am okay" I say in a soothing tone and he looks down at me

"Come on Dani, I will take you home" He grabs my hand and pulls me away

"Oh and Danielle just text me when you want to meet up again, I mean I sure as hell miss those lips" I didn't have to look at Aidan to tell that he had that grimy little smirk plastered on his face. Liam dropped my hand and his face had hurt engraved all over it but he masked it with anger.

"Y-You... You met up with this guy? Alone?" His eyes look as if they were to pop out any minute. He pinches the bridge of his nose and inhales deeply. He took a hold of my arm and stared down at me; he sighed and pulled me away.

We walked back towards the house and he has not spoken to me. He walked towards his house and I stopped him feeling horrible.

"Can I please explain myself Liam?" I plead

"Danielle, I actually don't want to hear it" He mumbled and continued walking to his house. Being the stubborn person I am, I followed him. 

"You don't want to hear it but you need to, so please just hear me out; I hate it when you're mad at me" I look down and rub my arm.

"Talk" He walks up to his room and I follow him while admiring his bare back. His tattoos are very interesting, and the way his back muscles move is just like—"Maybe you could talk if you weren't so busy checking me out" He huffs and I choose to ignore that comment

"I met up with him to talk things out, and we did. You won't understand us Liam, maybe someday when this all blows over you will, but for now you won't understand why I do what I do when it regards him. I know I sound crazy because the first time you two switched paths he was trying to hurt me, but--- I cut myself off not wanting to continue this anymore

"What did he do to you and don't beat around the bush, just tell me" He says slowly as if I'm a child

"What did he do? He would beat me, and then he would buy me things, he would tell me that I was the most beautiful thing in the world, and then he would beat me again. You know the basics" I laugh for some reason "I mean don't get me wrong, he meant everything in the world to me; he treated me like a princess and then when his brother died he snapped. I mean it started off with him just getting angry with me and yelling at me and then things got physical. The first time he hit me was during a  heated argument, I don't remember the details; but man I said some pretty hurtful crap to him. I craved for a bad boy and I got exactly that. He was like my own personal drug; it was like my first dose of heroin! I ached for more . Although he was hurting me Liam, I had to have another hit, because he was the only person that could take me on an insane high. That was until I met you, and I don't think my heart can deal with being addicted to another drug."
