Not In Love With Liam

17~ No Good in Goodbye

♜LIAM LAWRENCE♜

I reached the outside of the hospital. Police cars were parked everywhere and someone seemed to be being arrested.

Antony was looking through his window at the scene.

I opened the car door and sat down.

"What's that about?"
"No idea, but I heard the name Haruna."

My heart began to race.
Gabriel Haruna?

I stepped out of the car.

Scanning the scene again, I noticed it truly was Gabe they were arresting.

"You're under arrest for the suspected drugging of Miss. Noah Oquaye. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say may be used against you in later in court. This may affect your defense.."

The police officer cuffed his hands behind his back. He struggled a bit, but gave up eventually, and was shoved into the back of the car.

"Shit." I jogged up to the scene. "Excuse me." I called for one officer's attention. "'Excuse me."
"Yes?"
"He's being arrested for drugging Noah?"
"I'm afraid I'm not obliged to share any information with anyone outside the case."

"Please. Please, I really need to know. Noah's a friend of mine."
"All I can say is, you heard what you heard. I can't give any other information."

I turned around and ran back to the hospital entrance.

I'd made a huge mistake.

🚓🚓🚓

I reached the top of the stairs and rushed back to Noah's room. She wasn't there, but her friends and family were.

Fear stabbed my chest and I moved away from the door so none of them could see me.

"I don't want to!" Someone screamed.
Two people rushed out of Noah's room to the place the shouting cane from. Her mum and dad.

Her mum continued into the room, but her dad caught a glimpse of me and stopped.

"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Um.. I've made a mistake. I'm sorry."
"Save it. I don't care. Just get yourself out of my sight before I really fuck you up."
I turned around, walking slowly so I could see into the room the shouting was still coming from.

Noah was being restrained. She was crying and screaming. "I don't want to. Leave me alone."

She was fine before. I'd done this. It broke my heart to see her like that. And it upset me even more knowing that it was my fault.

I claimed I loved her, but what sort of person leaves when they're needed the most? She had done nothing, but I didn't even stick around to let her explain. I was such a dick, and it'd be more than a miracle if she ever spoke to me again.

"Get moving." Her dad said from behind me.

I did as I was told and didn't look back.

⚓NOAH OQUAYE⚓

He was gone. It sent me into shock and I couldn't control myself. The old me would have been able to cope normally. I'd probably think about it for a week or two, then I'd get my shit together and move on. That was the old me. The unattached, heartless, stone cold girl. But Liam had made me vulnerable.
