These Four Walls // H.S

Chapter Four

"So it's brownies or jelly slice." Liam asked. He had been baking all afternoon and wouldn't let me help. Liam had also convinced me to have a smoke and stop tensing which helped, but it was one after the other.

"Brownies do sound good." I answered.

"Well your going to love these." Liam laughed. I got up off of the couch and walked to the table where Liam had layer down good he'd been cooking.

"You know your a good guy Liam, I'm surprised you haven't got yourself a girlfriend."

"I would but the girl I like is taken by my beat mate."

"Well I'm sure if he wasn't in the picture she'd be happy to have someone like you."

"Well I do hope so."

Liam and I are until we couldn't eat no more and made ourself comfortable on the couch. Liam rested his head on my shoulder as I flicked through the channels on the tv trying to find something interesting to watch. There was one of many things still stirring and I wanted to take advantage of Liam and ask him a few questions.

"Liam, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"What happened to Harry, you know to make him act this way?"

"Aly, I wish I could tell you but I really think Harry should be the one."

"I know it's just, Harry and I haven't had a conversation in months and even if I would try, well it wouldn't end well."

"Look Aly," Liam said sitting up. "Harry grew up with everything given to him so just know that this one time, he didn't take it to well."

"Liam I've known Harry for only 7 months, 6 of those months we were dating but for the past 1 or 2 months things have changed and it's going to end up with me in hospital or dead."

"I'm sure it won't get that bad, Aly you just have to stand up for yourself."

"Obviously you don't pay attention, the last time I tried my left wrist was snapped in half and I've only just gotten the cast of, hence the wrist brace." I said standing up an showing the brace.

"It's not all doom and gloom."

"You know what, fuck you." I shouted before headed to the bedroom. I slammed the door shut and threw myself on the bed.

(Flashback)

"Hey Aly, I want you to met Liam," Harry called out from the lounge room. I was putting dinner on. "Liam this is Aly." I walked towards Harry and saw him, Liam was wearing jeans with boots and a plain white tee.

"Hi it's nice to meet you." I said shaking Liam's hand.

"It's nice to meet you too." Liam said with a smile.

"Well I was in the middle on dinner but would you like a drink?" I asked.

"Sound good babe, Liam do you want anything?" Harry said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Nah I'm alright." Liam said, he ran a hand through his hair before I returned to the kitchen.

I watched as Liam and Harry sat in the couch and disgusts things. Liam had been the reason Harry got into smoking pot and getting high and I had explained to Harry I didn't mind as long as it was only in the lounge and he respected that. The lounge was kind of away from everything.

Harry walked into the kitchen and snaked his hands around my waist as I stirred the chicken stir fry. and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Smells good babe." Harry says before opening the pantry and pulling out a bag of chips.

"Can't you wait, dinner will be ready in ten." I said putting a hand on one of my hips.

"I'm a big boy, I'll finish dinner this is just for a snack while Liam's here but we'll eat it as soon as he leaves." Harry says as he walked back to the lounge giving me no time to protest. Harry and our arguments only got that serious which was why I always allowed him to have Liam over.

I took dinner off of the stove, dished it up and placed them in the oven so the flys couldn't get a hold of it. I the. Went and took a seat next to Harry where he wrapped an arm around my shoulders as he continued his conversation with Liam.

(Flashback Over)

"Aly open the door, I'm sorry ok." Liam said as he knocked on the door.

"It's open."

"Oh, well Aly I'm sorry and I don't want you to be mad."

"To late." I said sarcastically.

"Please accept my apology."

"Fine, but if your going to be staying here without it bothering me just know that you'll have to stay out of my way when I ask you to."

"But I enjoy your company, remember when you used to join Harry and I when I came over."

"Clearly, but it doesn't happen any more and thanks to you I'm pretty much locked in this room while Harry entertains guest."

"Sorry about that."

"Stop apologising."

"Right, well there was a reason why I came in here."

"What is that reason?"

"Look Aly if I tell you what happen will you promise me you won't say anything to Harry, I like my face and I don't need Harry flipping out about me having a big mouth." Liam said. He was serious.

"I promise, it's not like he'll believe me but I promise." I said as I patted a spot on the bed.

"Just know none of this was meant to happen and I'm sorry." Liam said taking my hand. He ran his finger over a scar, I knew he didn't want to tell me the story but I wanted to know.

"Liam just tell me what happened." I said. Was I really ready to hear why Harry was acting the way he was or was I in over my head.

"Ok well it was when Harry came to mine the day before it happened..."
