CHAPTER 7

[Harry's POV]

This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever done.

Yeah, you think?!

I blocked my conscience from my focus.

Harry, do you even know what the consequences will be for this dumb stunt?! You could lose Liam forever! How could you just put that in jeopardy?

I don't care. He can hate me, he can bully me just like his friends. I DONT CARE! He has to know how I feel about him, before things get too out of hand. I want to talk, and then tell him that I've loved him since I first saw him 4 years ago. It's crazy and idiotic, but I feel a bit confident.

Last night I woke up in my bedroom, Sofia by my side. When I woke up, she was crying and gave me the biggest hug ever. She said she thought she'd lost me forever, and that to never scare her like that again. Then, as I rocked her to sleep right beside me, she told me about my friend who was brave to bring me back home. She forgot his name, but who else would do that? I only know of one brave person who would save me from danger? And Niall lives 5 miles away, so how on Earth could it have been him? It was Liam, I know it.

Before going to work, Austin left a note on the fridge saying he didn't want to wake me, but he had a list of things to do today. For some odd reason, I felt better this morning. I was still a bit ill, but I wasn't throwing up or getting the chills anymore. The cold sweats had stopped, and I felt refreshed. But my nose was still a bit runny, and I used up an entire box of kleenex. But I couldn't stop thinking about Liam. I had to see him.

I was currently on Liam's doorstep. His car wasn't in his usual parking space in the car lot so he must've been out. Probably getting out of school in the next few minutes. I'll just sit out here til he gets back? No, it's snowing. It's cold, and I forgot my coat. I left in such a rush.

I looked in the window and then jiggled the doorknob a bit. It was unlocked. I looked around, before opening the door and walking inside.

Okay, now you're being a little creeper. This is weird.

"Shut up." I mumbled to myself. I closed the door, locking it.

Oh, so NOW you want to be civilized?

I rolled my eyes. I entered the living room. I looked around at his little knick knacks. I laughed at the few Toy Story and Spirit figurines on the mantel. Liam likes the movie 'Spirit'? That movie made me cry. Damned horse; got me all emotional.

I kept looking around, spotting some more photos. A few of Liam, a few of other strangers. I saw one of Liam and Louis at, what looks to be, a party. Louis had an arm around his girlfriend Eleanor's waist. Liam had his arm around a dark skinned girl with frizzy curly hair. That must be Danielle. I heard a few of the jocks talking about her. I saw her with nearly every player of the football team at one point.

Moving on to the kitchen, I saw more frames on the wall by the dining table. One was of an older man, looks like his dad, holding a fishing rod with a fetus Liam right beside him. He looked to be about 10 there? I'm not sure, but he was an adorable chubby baby. I chuckled at the picture.

The one under that one, was split in half, down the middle. Liam was smiling at the camera, and had an arm around his neck. The arm had a few diamond bracelets and a french manicure. I couldn't see who it was, because they were cut out of the picture, but I could tell it was a woman.

My face contoreted with confusion. That's strange. Why would he cut her out? Who was that?

My thoughts wer interupted by a shimmering light on the cabinets. I looked behind me, and saw the reflection of a car headlight through the window. I ran out of the kitchen. Should I book it out the back? Or should I stay? I don't know! What should I do?!
