Chapter 14

*Lillian POV*

After Harry ‘stormed’ off Liam gave me the time he was going to pick me up and kissed my cheek then left. I stood there for at least five minutes running over the feel of Liam’s lips on my cheek before I was ready to face the parents.

My dad wasn’t mad that I went to a party without permission, nor was he mad about me not coming home. He was DISAPPOINTED, how shitty is that? But I actually don’t care, his opinion doesn’t matter; just like mine didn’t matter when he started dating Kathy.

I’m quite excited to go out with Liam. He’s not the normal guy I would go for but he’s funny and a genuine person, which is really attractive.

I grabbed my leather skater skirt and a long sleeve grey crop top. I know, a little girly from McDonald’s but its not like a dress and heels. I re-straightened my hair and put on some eye make-up before sending a photo of myself all put together to Emma.

Emma: Isn’t that too much?

Me: No I mean he’s a pretty attractive guy and I don’t want to look like crap next to him.

My conversation with Emma was broken when Liam texted me saying he was a few minutes away. I typed a quick reply before going downstairs to get my shoes.

“Where are you going Lillian? You’re grounded.” My dad said from the couch on his laptop.

“I have a date…” I said matter-of-factually and my dad looked at me like I was crazy.

“With whom are you going? It better not be that inked metal head that I saw here earlier. He’s trouble.” He said getting up and walking to the doorway by the front door.

“Well for one it is and he's here so I gotta go.” I said slipping on my other shoe and reaching for the door.

“Lillian, no.” he said in a last attempt to stop me.

“Bye dad.” I said stepping outside, just as Liam’s car pulled up.

“You’re not my daughter…” he mumbled before I shut the door completely. I almost felt like saying, ‘You’re not my father either.’ but stopped myself. Don’t get me wrong I love my dad a lot but he isn’t the same.

“You look beautiful.” Liam said which startled me a little.

“Thank you. You look good yourself.” I said and he chuckled. “I try.” He said before offering his hand to me.

His fingertips were rough and his palms were cold. His hand wasn’t very inviting for my much smaller, warm, soft hand but the gesture was greatly appreciated.

I got in the car after Liam opened the door for me and after he got in we drove away.

~~~

We pulled up to a McDonalds and once again Liam escorted me inside. I decided to be brave and get a Big Mac and Liam got a quarter pounder. I don’t know if man girls would get a big hamburger but fuck it, I’m starving and if something more happens between us he’s going to see me eat messy food.

We picked a booth towards the back of the restaurant and enjoyed our burgers in peace. There were quite a few kids and exhausted parents in here and they were rather loud.

“So word on the street is that you’re the fresh meat at Valley.” Liam asked and I nodded.

“Yeah only been there for three weeks.” I replied. “How do you like it?” he asked as he took another bite from his massive burger.

“Its fine. The people are way different then at my old school.” I replied taking a bite from my hamburger as well.

“Why did you transfer to Valley?” I asked. It seemed strange that he and Niall would just up and transfer senior year.

“I got in a little trouble with the principal…” he said then smirked.

“How?” “I fucked his daughter. Good times.” He said and I nearly choked on my mouth full.

“Harry, Zayn and Louis came from the same school as me and Niall too.” He said chuckling at my reaction.

“They smoked weed then spray painted the whole admin. office. Niall and I got off the hook.” He said.

“Why? Why did you guys do all that stuff?” I asked, really wanting to know what compels people to do that shit.

“Its all for the thrill Lillian. That’s the fun in destroying something, its great satisfaction.” Liam remarked and I decided to drop it.

We chucked our trash and made our way to his car.

The theater was only about 10 minutes away and we got to it at about 9.

“So what movie should we see?” I asked as we admired the movie posters outside the cinema. “I reckon we see something really creepy and disturbing.” Liam said looking at,

“The Conjuring, really?” I asked and joined him under the glowing sign.

“Yeah its apparently really gory and scary.” “I don’t know Liam.” I said as he put his arm around me then flexing his bicep.

“C’mon Lillian, I protect you.” He said in a crappy superhero voice.

“Fine.” I said giving in and giggling at his silliness.

~~~

We got our tickets and popcorn and made our way to the theater screening ‘The Conjuring’

Liam picked a sit relatively far back and pretty much in the middle of the isle.

“Very meticulous sit choosing process.” I said and he laughed. He actually laughed at something I said.

*Harry POV*

I decided to have a little fun tonight. I called up Brianna after I left Lillian’s place and she agreed o go on a date with me tonight.

Just as I suspected Liam told Niall all the shit he planned with Lillian and I got him to tell me. I already knew they were going to McDonald’s and a movie but which cinema?

Luckily I didn’t have to check any, as I saw Liam and Lillian pull out of McDonald’s and all I did was follow there car.

“Where are we going?” Brianna whined from the passenger seat.

“The cinema.” I replied lowly and she huffed. “I don’t want to go to the movies Harrrrryyyyyyy.” She complained like a baby. Remind me again why I am dating her?

“Because we are, so shut up.” I snapped and she rolled her eyes.

We pulled in to a parking space a ways away from Liam and Lillian to not look suspicious, I mean we did just follow them. Plus I didn’t want to risk Brianna seeing her and causing a scene.

“Lets go.” I mumbled after I saw Liam and Lillian enter the cinema.

We pretty much followed them into the theater and I picked seats a few rows below them so they could see me.

~~~

Almost half way through the film I shot Liam a text.

Liam: Look 4 rows down and wave.

I looked up and met Liam’s cold hard glare. I had to fit the urge to chuckle and tip off Brianna to his presence.

I smirked at Liam and leaned in to kiss Brianna. She looked caught off guard but quickly complied to my PDA. I broke apart from her after a heated kiss and looked up at Liam.

He only shook his head before lightly grabbing Lillian’s chin and moved her head too look at him. I saw her face because she was on the left side of him and I was on the right side of them.

Her eyes flicked down to me, then closed when Liam’s lips met hers.

Fire erupted in me and I shot straight up, pushing Brianna aside.

“YOU BASTARD!”
