You're The One (Liam Payne Fanfiction) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 3 : News

Dedicated to the awesome ONEDIRECTIONFANS21 for supporting me. Thank you, your comment made my day :-)

"Eric?!" I cried out. He was my ex-boyfriend and my first love. We really loved each other and were dating for a whole year until I caught him cheating on me by sleeping with with some cake-faced blonde bimbo. The sad thing is that when I confronted him about it he said that he lost all his feelings for me and he didn't even look sorry. The last time we talked was when we broke up. I was beyond broken and it took quite a few months for me to get over him and deep down I know that I still do care for him, not in a boyfriend-girlfriend way, but more like a friend. After all, you will never forget your first love.

"No, it's me, Sam." He replied in a sad tone, his voice almost breaking. Sam is Eric's older brother. Their voices are pretty similar actually, reason why I had mistaken him for Eric. We were pretty close too. He treated me like I were his little sister.

"Oh, how are you?" I asked in a sad tone since I got reminded of Eric.

"I'm fine Laur. But, listen, I need to tell you something." He said. By the tone of his voice, I could tell that this 'something' was not good.

"What is it?" I asked nervously. Then, all of a sudden I heard sobbing.

"What happened Sam? Are you alright?"

"E-Eric... he g-got in a c-car accident... and d-died yesterday. We couldn't even see his body as it was very badly mangled." By now, he started sobbing uncontrollably while a few tears rolled down my cheeks.

"What about the driver of the other vehicle?" My voice broke.

"H-he too died on i-impact."

"Oh"

"Yeah. Bye, Laur. Take care."

"Bye" I hung up and almost immediately collapsed on the ground crying. Then, I felt a strong pair of arms around me. I looked up to see that it was Liam.

"Wanna talk about it?" He asked softly, leading me to a bench and pulling me into him. I looked up into his eyes to see that they were filled with worry, concern and sadness.

"M-my ex-boyfriend... h-he died." I started to hiccup and sob uncontrollably and buried my face into his chest.

"I'm sorry." He whispered softly. I looked up to see his eyes and saw that he had genuinely meant what he said and didn't say it just for the sake of saying it. He hugged me tighter and put his chin on my head.

I continued to cry some more while Liam occasionally whispered "shh's" and "it's okay's" into my hair. After some more of crying, he gently lifted me into his arms, bridal style and carried me upstairs into what I assumed was his room. He placed me gently on the bed and kissed my forehead and quietly left the room.

****************************

I rubbed my eyes and opened them only to feel a pair of warm arms around my waist. I turned my head to find that I was in Liam's bed with him sleeping beside me and his face in the crook of my neck. I must have fallen asleep in Liam's room crying yesterday night when I found out about Eric.

I smiled to myself looking at Liam and gently disentangled myself from his arms. Then, I got up and went to look at myself in the mirror. I looked like a mess. My eyes were all red and puffy from crying and my hair was flying in different directions. Sighing, I decided to take a shower. I stripped off my clothes (I was wearing a large t-shirt and sweatpants with pictures of Woody and Buzz on it... Must be Liam's... Oh god, I really hope it wasn't Liam or any of the lads who changed my clothes...) and walked into Liam's bathroom.
