The Fighter

Chapter Four

Liam finally looks away from us and back at the movie. What is he even doing here? Niall pulls me in for a hug and brushes his lips against my cheek.

"Is everything okay love?" he lays his head on my shoulder. I nod.

"I just got a bit startled," I answered. Niall entwines our fingers. Heat takes over me as I picture Liam staring at us in my mind. I don't understand how I'm scared of him seeing us together. Liam doesn't mean anything to me. He's just a jerk who thinks he runs everyone. I barely even know him.

"I'm going to get more popcorn, okay?" Niall smiles. He kisses my cheek then walks away. Liam jumps over the seat and sits next to me. He grabs my soda and starts to drink out of it.

"So, you're here with your boyfriend, huh?"

"No he isn't my boyfriend. Why are you even here?"

"So that means you can ditch him right?" he ignores my question.

"No I'm not leaving him." I blurted out way too loud than I intended.

"Yes, you are." Liam demands and grabs my arm pulling me the opposite way Niall went. I whisper for him to stop since people are eyeing us.

"Would you please let go of me!" I fumed as soon as we exited the theater. He ignores me and walks out the nearest exit.

"Why are you even here?"

"Why do you talk so much?" he fired back. I stop talking and decide to ignore him until the night is over. By the time we get to the car and I stumble over rocks he lets go of my wrist. My phone vibrates when I get into the car.

Niall: Hey. Are you okay?

Ariana: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO??? WHERE ARE YOU?

I sigh, Liam would probably kill me if I told them he basically kidnapped me. Ariana starts to call me, Liam's head snaps towards me.

"Don't answer it." he demands. I click the off button on top of my phone and it turns black. I look at out the window and watch all the cars and trees we pass. I can't help but think about Niall. He would probably think I hate him and that I have been trying to get away from him. My phone lights up again.

Ariana: Where are you Nessa, seriously stop joking around. Niall is worried sick about you. He called me and he sounds like he's in tears.

Liam snatches my phone and replies back. I only see the words 'tomorrow'. I feel butterflies form in my stomach. What happens tomorrow? Millions of thoughts flood into my head. I always over think stuff, I can't help it. That's one thing I hate about myself. Liam reaches for the radio and turns it up. He has horrible taste in music. He blasts rap music that cusses in ever single verse. I shift around in the seat. Liam pulls up to a gas station cuts the car off then leaves me. When he's inside I try to open the door and make a run for it, but it won't budge. Fuck. Child safety is on. Who the hell even does this. I quickly grab my phone from Liam's seat and read the messages. 'I'll be home tomorrow, don't worry. I'm fine :)'.

Lies. I wan't to go home today, now. I'm not fine. I'm being kidnapped by someone who's forcing themselves into my life. I see Liam's silhouette walking out of the store, he's holding a brown paper bag. He unlocks the door and places the bag on the backseat. He dosn't say a word to me, he just cuts on the igniton and pulls out of the lot. I start to dose off, hoping that will take my mind off things.

I wake up to the sound of laughter. I open my eyes, all I see is pitch black. I'm in a bedroom with the doors closed. I see light under the closed door. I slowly jump off of the bed and walk towards the door.

"Well who is this?" A tan boy with tattoos says as he pushes the girl thats on his lap onto the chair. He stands up and walks towards me.

"Her names Vanessa." Liam says watching the boys moves.

"Hello Vanessa, I'm Zayn," he smiles "hopefully I will be seeing you more often." his words make me shiver.

"I don't think you will," Liam responded as he pulled me away from Zayn.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Liam. He shakes his head, his hands are still holding onto my arm.

"Aww, so you have a new girlfriend huh?" Zayn laughs. Does that mean he already has a girlfriend?

"Actually, no. I don't have a girlfriend. I don't want one. She's just a friend."

"Friends kidnap each other?" my mind says.

"Well Nessa. Since you're Liam's friend I guess I'll introduce you to everyone." he tells me everyone's name, and every one of them are covered with tattoos. Only one of them stands out, Harry. He had emerald green eyes and deep dimples. I couldn't help but stare at him.

"Do you want a drink?" he asks me. I shake my head, I don't drink. I never have and I don't want to. That's how most accidents happen. And I'm afriad one of them might take advantage of me. Or all of them.
