"I can't be here for long, love." Zayn said still in the stall. I quickly yet quietly went into an empty stall, put the lid down, and sat with my feet up.
"Why not?"
"She'll be looking for me soon. I can't keep doing this to her." He said as I hear their stall door open and foot steps. I peek through the crack of the stall door and see Zayn walking towards the sink and mirrors with messed up hair. He fixes it using a bit of water. She groans as she's still in the stall. I felt as if I was on a secret fücking mission, so I've decided to stop peeking before he saw me.
"Why? What does it matter if she does catch you? You saw her out there, acting as if you weren't here."
"Shut the fück up!" He shouted, getting a little pissed off. What are they talking about?
"I'm sorry babe. Just, come here and help me with my bikini top?" How can he do this to me?
"Alright, let's get out of here." I heard him say before the sound of footsteps disappeared. That's when I kicked open in anger. I walked up to the mirror and saw the redness on my face, I literally look like angry Tinker Bell. I continuously stare at my reflection.
Am I just not pretty enough?
Look at yourself, you're not at thin as Emily.
No, no.
Stop thinking like that.
Just stop.
Stop,
Stop.
With that, I ran out the bathroom. Once I reached the outside world, I looked around. No sight of Zayn nor Emily. I've got to get out of here. With that, I ran towards the exit of the beach. Then suddenly, I felt gravity push me down upon another.
"Ow! Fück! What happened where you're going dude!" The deep voice said.
"I'm not a dude, ässhöle!" I said sitting up, but I tried to walk away but I began to limp, feeling a pain in my ankle. I whined in pain but continued to limp away.
"Wait. Kiara?!" The voice said. I turned around to see Liam. Standing there, scanning me.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt your ankle?" He said getting closer to me.
"No.. just leave me be, Liam." I said with a shaken voice.
"What happened?"
"I said, leave me be Liam!" I yelled at him before walking away. I continued walking and walking, trying to ignore the pain in my ankle. I hope I didn't break a bone. Once I got to the exit, I went straight to the parking lot and looked for my car.
"Fück! My! Life!" I screamed at myself, people began to stare but I didn't care. Of course I forget that I didn't bring my car. I gave up. I decided to completely give up. I limped over to a bench, sat on it with my knees against my chest, hiding my face from the world.
Why is this happening to me?
Disgusting images appeared in my head of what they could've possibly been doing in that disgusting stall.
The real question is...
Is this the first time he has cheated on me?
"...I can't keep doing this to her..."
"...Can't keep doing this..."
"...keep doing this..."
I don't even think I can trust my own boyfriend anymore. I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder and I quickly look up to see Liam, smiling down at me, with my stuff in hand. He sat next to me and began to brush his fingers through my hair, calming me. After a few moments of silence, I cuddled into his side and he wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm so sorry I screa-"
"I understand Kiara. No need to apologize." He cuts me off. A small smile appears on my face.
"Thank you."
"I'm here to talk whenever you need, love. I'm right here." He spoke against the top of my head. I nuzzle into him, feeling his warm breath on me. Suddenly a loud rumbling noise comes from my stomach. I feel my cheeks heat up and I chose to ignore it. Then I hear a chuckle come out of Liam's lips.
"Hungry?"
"Very."
"C'mon. I'll buy you some food." He says, not moving. He waits for me to get up first.
"In a bikini? Everyone is going to stare."
"Who wouldn't?" He said jokingly. At least I think it was a joke.
"Seriously ." I said as he got up. He grabbed his white v-neck and hands it to me.
"I couldn't find your clothes. I was sure Veronica had it, but she was in the water with Louis and it didn't feel right to dig through her bag." He smiled. I quickly got up and but the big shirt on me that ended just on my thighs. I saw Liam had brought my purse and my sneakers with me, so I grabbed my sneakers and quickly slide it on.
"Wait, what about you?" I asked.
"What about me?"
"You're going to walk in with no shirt?"
"I have a spare in the car, love." He says,
swinging his key around his pointer finger. "C'mon." He says, picking me up bridal style.
"Why li?"
"I'm not letting you limp to the car." He says, while grabbing my purse and making his way to his car. He goes to the passenger side, opens the door and sets me on the seat. He kneels down and inspects my ankle.
"It's nothing. You only sprained it slightly. Trust me, being on the football team has taught me." He says with a smile. I smile at him and he gets back up and puts my purse on my lap. He closes the door for me and jogs to the drivers side, getting in and starting his car.

I sat in the old fashioned diner, as Liam gets our food. It's not that far from the beach so I'm not really the only one with a bathing suit, thank god. I watch Liam as he speaks to the lady behind the counter. Liam is the best. He's always there for me and he always watches out for me when I need it. He's great, honestly. He's better than Veronica.
Don't tell her I said that.
Even though it's true. She looks out for me but she's mostly all over Louis. Liam always makes time for me, since he's single, he says he has no one to 'distract' him from me. I told him thousands of times to not pay so much attention to me but he insisted. He just the sweetest thing. And compared to Zayn, don't even get me started. Another thing about Liam, he will always compliment me. He will never go a day without it. It's like he never wants me to feel down. Liam is perfect.
I realized that I was staring at Liam this whole time. He saw me to and smiled with a slight blush. I smiled at him and felt my cheeks heat up.
Why does this always happen?
The girl behind the counter looks at me and gives me a sweet smile before looking back at Liam and continues, I guess, their conversation. Then I pulled out my phone, and turned it back on to see bunch of missed messages from my friends.
