Chapter 16

Awkward.

That’s how its been since we kissed. How could I be so stupid, I’m thinking with my heart for once and its not fucking right. I’m not the type of guy to feel this strong for someone. She would never be caught with feelings for me so I had to kiss her.

I knew she would hate me even more when I did, but I couldn’t go another minute without knowing what her lips feel like against mine. Boy oh boy am I in shit now because I didn’t expect myself to like and enjoy it so much.

I need to clear my mind, I can’t dwell on all this shit. Its been almost two weeks since then and we get off for Christmas break in three days.

Its time to drop this girl Harry.

*Lillian POV*

I was so confused as to which guy was more for me. I really have a strong attraction to Liam and he makes me laugh. Harry, Harry bashes me every chance he gets. He humiliates me and has corrupted my feelings for Liam. But he did help me out numerous times and does hold some pretty big secrets of mine.

I’m really just scared.

- Liam POV -

I’m pretty sure I have won. Harry broke up with Brianna to pursue Lillian but he wont get her that easily.

Walking into the café d seeing Lillian sitting there at our table made my insides tickle. The fun is just beginning.

“Lillian can I talk to you a minute?” I asked as I came up behind the one and only Styles. He looked to stiffen at just the sound of my voice let alone my asking to talk to his sweetheart.

“Uh ok…” she said getting up and grabbing her phone and bag from the table then following me out.

Once we were away from any listening ears I turned to face her, making her stop suddenly.

“I had fun on our date a awhile back, did you?” I spoke.

“Yeah, until he ruined it.” she said her voice stiff saying ‘he’.

“So I was wondering, do you maybe umm… want to be my uhh girlfriend?” I stuttered for affect and she looked shocked but seemed to believe my truthfulness.

“Umm, yeah. Yeah I would.” She corrected herself before I brought her in for a hug. After we broke apart I grabbed her hand and we made our way back into the café and toward the group of awaiting people.

Rhaea and Chloe started squealing and that caused the guys to turn and look at us. Louis and Zayn high-fived each other and Niall yelled “Get that shit bro!” causing Lillian to blush.

Then my gaze landed on Harry’s horrified face. If looks could kill, heck I’d be dead along tome ago. But do I care? Nope.

He stood up quickly and threw his chair at the wall then proceeded to knock into me roughly before punching the wall by the entry door.

“Someone’s not happy.” I mumbled.

- Harry POV -

I swear, he’s dead. That fucking jerk. He doesn’t care about her, I do! I don’t know what he’s planning but given Lillian’s naïve state she deserves it and I’m done trying to warn her or stop him. Done.

*Christmas Eve. (Sorry I’m jumping POV a lot there are different perspectives of the situation rn so that’s why!)*   

‘Sorry we are closed for the Holidays. Merry Christmas.’

Yet another store closed, why don’t they care that not all people get there gifts early?

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and answered the call. It was Niall and he sounded totaled.

“Yeah man?”

“Yo dude you-you should come to-to the New Years Eve party next week-week.” He slurred and burped. Nice bro.

“Yeah man we’ll see. Listen I gotta go  so have fun, go fuck some girl. Cheers.”

I just heard him giggling before he hung up. I chuckled to myself a little before going back to my holiday dilemma. All the happy cheerful couples are walking around, looking at the lights and embracing the snow falling as well as one another.

Its really annoying.

Finally I saw one store that was open, it looked like a pawn shop. Oh well lets take a look.

All they really have is creepy sculptures, crappy bracelets and weird t-shirts.

I ended up getting my mum a pair of fake diamond earrings and a matching set of a bracelet and necklace. I feel as though it’s a 10 year olds present but I’m out of options.

As I grabbed the wrapped boxes off the counter and turned to get the hell out of that store something caught my eye.

Its perfect…
