Love Can Be Found in the Darkest of Times

Chapter 16

*Grace's POV*

I press my back against the wall and slide down. My body curls up into a ball and I sob into my knees. I have broken two hearts in two months...one belongs to Harry and the other belongs to Liam. I don't know why I'm so worked up over Liam though, I never had his heart. We just fit. I feel like I've known him all my life, but in reality we just met a couple weeks ago. I glance towards the ground and reach for my phone. I scroll to Liam's contact and start calling him. After hours of trying to reach him, I throw my phone across the room and lay my head against the door. Maybe I should just give up. I destroy everything I touch and I have already hurt enough people. My eyes close and visions of green and brown eyes swim through my mind. I wake up and notice a blanket covering my legs with a note attached to it.

"I'll be at work all day today! I left you some food in the fridge though...don't worry, Liam will come around." -Kristen.

I smile at her sweet note and go over to the fridge to get some food. I see another note placed on a wrapped sandwich saying

"I know you have a rough past with another guy, but I think it's time to move on. This is Liam's address...1231 Worker Street" -Kristen

My heart leaps out of my chest and the note falls to the ground. I run out to the car, slam the gas pedal down, and head to Liam's house. My mind is racing with uncertain thoughts...will he forgive me? Will he give me a second chance? I shake the thoughts away and pull into Liam's driveway. My feet take me to the house and I hastily knock on the door. It slightly opens and I see an innocent, familiar face appear in the crack.

"What do you want?"

His voice is harsh and full of hurt.

"Liam, can we talk?"

He tries to shut the door, but I catch it with my foot.

"Please? I have a lot to explain!"

I am practically begging now. He stares into my eyes before nodding his head. As soon as I get in, I start telling him about Harry.

"Grace...just stop. I don't want to be anyone's second choice."

My body freezes

"Liam, you're my first choice."

His sad eyes look into mine

"Are you completely over him?"

I step over and wrap my arms around him.

"I promise I am completely over Harry."

I close my eyes and Harry's mop of curls comes into view. A gasp escapes my lips and Liam pulls away

"You okay?"

I force a smile

"Never been better."

Who am I kidding...I still love Harry.
