Meeting The Lads

Chapter 23

"Liam, I just need you to understand that none of this was on purpose and I've been living since last night just to get you to forgive me because I messed up big time and I know what I did was too wrong I don't even wanna say what I did. I'm so ashamed of myself and if you don't forgive me I don't blame you because I am a horrible person but with all do to respect Liam I need you to understand that I don't want our relationship that we have, fall apart. You trusted me with everything and I ripped whatever line of trust we had can we just start over?" I ask, feeling like a begger to Liam.

"I don't know Ebony, it's just that so many things are going on in my life and how do I know that you and Brent didn't do something lat night like-" I cut him off, I can't have him say that I did anything with Brent after the club.

"No I didn't do anything and haven't spoken to him, I already got yelled at from Skylar about everything and I know you probably hate me but I'd hope you could make your decision now I." I stop there, it has just hit me, all of this time I've been begging for Liam's forgiveness when I haven't really comprehended the damage I have done to him, I want to keep going and tell him that I'm so sorry but right now the thought of me doing something that horrible, breaks me. I feel so ashamed in myself. The last time that happened was when my parents got divorced and I went out drinking, I wanted to forget all of the memories of my dad but it just made everything worse than it already was.

"Ebony I..."

"Liam, don't forgive me."

"But I wouldn't-"

"You wouldn't what Liam? Cause I said the same thing, I wouldn't let Skylar down again, that... that I wouldn't drink again. That I wouldn't let my parents down or make them sad again but I did and I can't let you go through whatever comes along with my past Liam." I said, and that's when it all goes down. I feel a tear stream down my face and don't bother looking at Liam. I feel too embarrassed to.

"Ebony, I was gonna forgive you. You're human, so am I, we all make mistakes. I understand that you didn't mean to do it. I think we should start over agin... fresh start. what do you think?" he suggests but I nod.

"How could you?"

"How could I what?" he asks me.

"How could you forgive me, when all I've done is hurt you?"

"Because when you think you could love someone, but they make a mistake... you can't let that person go because if you want it to happen than you'll keep fighting for it. Just like in this situation. I thought I was gonna be mad at you for the rest of my life but right when I talked to you, I wanted to be the one to make you smile everyday, I thought we could be more than friends so Im not gonna let you slip away from me, I'm going to try to make it work... it's normal for things to happen in relationships. Don't cry please, that's the last thing I want to see you do, you're beautiful." he says and my throat is in a twist. my tears stop and my heart is pounding so fast, so hard it could pop out of my chest at any moment now.

He pulls me into a tight hug and I pour my head into his lower neck.

"Thank you, for everything... fresh start." I smile at him. "Why'd you let me go so easily?" I ask him, getting out of his arms.

"Because of what I said earlier, Im not repeating myself." he laughs. I nod and smile.

"Wanna go downstairs now?" he asks me.

"Okay just a second." I say and wipe my face with the top of my shirt. Liam nods his head and motions me to the stairs, we walk down silently and join the rest of the boys and Skylar.

~Skylar's P.O.V.~

My eyes lead me to two figures which seem to be Ebony an Liam. They seem happy and I think everything did work out correctly.
