Different Directions(1D FanFic)

Chapter 23

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see." Liam chuckled.

I crossed my arms. Liam was telling me about the tour and all the fans. He seemed so happy. I felt very awkward around him, the last time we were alone together was when we had our last make out session before he left for his tour. I didn't know how I felt about it then but I knew exactly how I feel know. We pulled up to a big building.

"What is this place?"

"This, is the London Eye." Liam took my hand. It was pretty cold this February, the weather is so different from LA. We walked in. Liam pulled my seat out, the waitress handed us a menu. Liam took my hand and held it. Our hands rested on the table.

"Claire?" Liam put the menu down.

"Yes." I answered still looking at the colorful menu.

"I love you." He held my hand tighter. I put the menu down and looked at Liam.

"I love you too." I didn't just say it because that's what everyone says to their friend, I said it because I meant it. I wanted it to be true. I wanted this to be a fairy tale, a magical dream where everything worked out exactly how we all wanted it. But this is reality people. There will be days were things just don't go your way. Others will be fantastic, today was one of those days. I got to be with one of my best friends!

"No, Claire I really do love you. Not in the friend kind of way. I lo-" I cut him off

"I know." I smiled. Because I knew that he loved me. I knew that he wasn't every going to stop until he had me. And he did had me. I was his, I was his to hold because I wasn't taken I wasn't somebody else's. I was right for him.

"Then why did you say the same?" He asked, he let go of my hand.

I rested my chin on my hands.

"Because I really do mean it Liam." Just then the waitress came over and asked for our orders.

We order spaghetti with breadsticks and a light salad. When we were done Liam took my hand and pulled me to over to the view. I have to say, it was like a big Ferris wheel. I could see all of London. It was beautiful!

Liam smiled at me and held my hand. This was like a fairy tale. It was everything I wanted then and now. But I faint memory keep't popping into my head an I hated it. All I could keep thinking about was him. I wanted to let it go. I wanted to he here with Liam and pretend that he didn't exist. But it wasn't easy because that one name was haunting me. Making me feel guilty that I was here with Liam.

Louis.

Liam's POV

She said that she loved me an that made me happy. I pulled her over to see the wonderful view of London. She was giggling and smiling. I pulled her into me and looked into her beautiful blue eyes. I put my hand behind her hand leaning towards her face. My lips pressed up against hers. She put her hands around my neck. I put my other hand around her waist and pulled her closer to me. We stayed like that for a while. She soon pulled away looking up at me. I loved being taller than her. It gave me the chance to look down into her beautiful eyes.

"Claire, would you like to go out with me." I held her hand. Her smile soon faded away.

"Liam, I really do like you a lot but I don't know if-" I cut her off

"You don't want Louis to think that I'm your rebound?" I asked, she blushed and nodded.

"I love you and I'm not going to let him ruin that. I know that there will always be a part of you that will love him, but that doesn't mean that you can't love me too." I kissed her forehead and sat down on the couch. She sat down in my lap, her arms wrapped around my neck.
