Dark Liam

Chapter 17

You wallk out the automatic opening doors, and out to Liam's car. He drives you to a 24-hour pharamacy to get your prescription. Once you get that, he drives you back to your house, both of you making small talk on the way there.

He pulls up into your driveway, and you notice your dad's vehicle already parked there. But luckily, there were no lights on inside the house, so he was probably asleep.

"please stay?" you ask with pleading eyes.

"of course babe," you both get out of the car and quietly shut the doors, trying not to let your father hear them.

You tiptoe up the porch and to the front door. Liam steps on a crunchy leaf, making the loudest noise ever.

You turn back to him, "shhh!" you say, putting your finger up to your lips. He chuckles and tiptoes along with you, watching where he was walking this time.

You approach the front door, opening it as quietly as possible. All the lights were off, and you couldn't see a thing. "Liam?" you whisper, reaching out trying to find him.

He puts his hand lightly on your shoulder, "I'm right here babe."

You sigh with relief, and you both start tiptoeing, making your way towards the stairs.

You're almost to the stairs, when the lamp flickers on. You look back into the living room to see your dad sitting there with a stern look on his face.

"where have you been?" he asks

"I was, uhh.." before your could say anymore, he cuts you off

"do you know its 3 in the morning?! what were you doing out with a boy?! AND WHY IS HE IN MY FUCKING HOUSE?" he yells angrily towards you. You flinch away.

"sir, I'm sorry. It was my fault she came home late," Liams says

He turns toward Liam, "son of a bitch, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU WITH MY DAUGHTER AGAIN!"

"dad, stop it! You're overreacting!" you yell

He was acting just like mom used to. Your dad has never acted like this before. He has always been the laid back parent, the one who would always get you out of trouble when your mom was punishing you.

He charges toward Liam, but you jump right in between them so he can't hit him.

"DAD, STOP!" you scream at him

He clenches his fists and takes a deep breath. "I want him out of my house. NOW."

You look at Liam, "I'm sorry"

He runs his hand through your hair, "it's fine." he heads toward the door, and when he's almost out, he turns back to you, mouthing the words "call me".

You smile and nod.

Liam looks at your father one last time, "I'm truly sorry sir"

"just get out" your dad snaps back.

He sighs and shuts the door, leaving you and your dad standing in the living room alone.

You both stood there for a few minutes not saying a word. The silence was awkward.

You speak up "uh, well.. I guess I'm gonna go to bed," you turn your body towards the stairs, but you feel a hand grasp your arm.

"I don't think so," you dad says sternly. His grip on your arm was very tight, you knew it would probably leave a bruise.

"ow, dad, let go. you're hurting me,"

He lets go. "I don't want to see you with that boy ever again. You hear me?"

You start to get angry. "you don't even know him! just give him a chance! he's actually a great guy, and you shouldn't judge him just because he doesn't look like the "perfect" guy!" you emphasize the word "perfect".

"I don't care what he's like. He kept you out until 3 in the morning doing god knows what, and then you try to sneak in without me knowing!"

"JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" you scream right in his face. You had no clue why he was making such a big deal out of this. He didn't even know the whole story.

Just then, a strike of pain struck your left cheek. You realize that your dad had just punched you. Something that you could have NEVER imagined him doing in a million years, He was always so loving and caring. What is he becoming?

You could feel the tears brimming your eyes, as you held your cheek. Then you screamed something you never thought you would have screamed at him.

"I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"  you run up to your room as fast as you could, trying to escape him.

You got to your room and slammed the door, locking it. You run to the bed, burying your face in the pillow, letting the tears pour out.

As you were sobbing into the pillow, you hear a noise coming from your closet. You look over at it, but there was nothing there. You get up and walk over to it, still sniffling and crying.

You slowly open the door to find Liam standing there smirking.

You sniffle. "w-what are you doing here? my dad hates you."

"oh, c'mon. I'm not gonna leave that easily babe."

You smile at his remark.

"baby, whats wrong?" he asks, wrapping his arms around you. Engulfing you in his smell. He always smelt so good.

You bury your face into his chest, "I don't want to talk about it," your voice was muffled.

He kisses the top of your head. "well whenever you wanna talk, I'm always here babe. remember that."

He leads you over to your bed, laying you down on it. He lays right up against you, and throws the covers over both of you. You put your head into the crook of his neck.

You think about what happened with your dad and quitely sob into Liam's chest.

"babe, are you sure you don't want to talk?" he asks soothingly.

You sniffle, "no, maybe tomorrow,"

You snuggle up closer to him as he wraps his arms around you. He starts humming to you, making you grow tired.

"goodnight beautiful" he whispers into your ear and kisses you.

A small grin forms on your face as you drift asleep in Liam's arms, feeling safe from the world.
