Love Can Be Found in the Darkest of Times

Chapter 15

*Grace's POV*

Liam's been coming over almost everyday now. He is really sweet, but he isn't Harry. I can tell he likes me and I don't want to lead him on.

*knock knock*

I walk over to the door and Liam pulls me into a hug

"Grace, I've missed you!"

I laugh,

"I saw you two days ago!"

He lifts my waist even higher, causing my feet to leave the floor.

"That's too long, I want to see you and those pretty eyes everyday."

My heart sinks, I really need to tell Liam about Harry. I can never bring myself to talk about it though. The last thing I want is to hurt someone else. He sets me back on the ground and plops down on the couch.

"So, how's Kristen feeling?"

I join him on the comfy seat,

"Better! I'm just glad she's home now. Oh, and I don't need my babysitter anymore."

Liam squints his eyes and looks at me, trying to see if I'm kidding or not. I bite my bottom lip to keep from laughing,

"Alright, I guess I'll just leave..."

He gets up and starts slowly walking towards the door.

"Looks like this is goodbye,"

he smirks and I bury my head into a pillow, laughing. I hear Liam's loud footsteps get closer and he wraps his arms around me. The pillow falls from my grasp as my body is thrown into the air.

"Ah! Liam!"

He catches me bridal style and in that moment Harry doesn't matter anymore. I gaze into Liam's eyes and my body goes numb as his lips catch mine. My heart stops and I immediately pull away. His smile fades and I look in the opposite direction, unable to meet his glare. He drops my legs and turns to face me.

"Grace..."

A tear rolls down my cheek and I look up at Liam's hurt expression.

"What's wrong? Please tell me."

He takes my hand, causing another tear to fall. Liam lets go, seeing the pain in my face. He looks away,

"What's his name..."

I start hysterically crying.

"Liam, just let me explain!"

He takes a deep breath.

"This always happens to me."

He turns around,

"No! Liam! please don't go!"

he glances at the ground, then at me.

"I'm sorry Grace."

Liam starts heading to the door. He's leaving...for real this time. Now I can add him to the list of people I have hurt.
