The Band I Thought I Knew // Liam Payne {Book 1}

Chapter 10

I get in my car and slam the door shut. I am so sick of being under their complete and utter power. Everything we do, say, feel they are there to tell us it's the wrong thing or we are not thinking about our career. We are boys not animals, we do have the conscience to think about the consequences of things, why don't they understand that we are all over sixteen now we can make decisions rationally now? I start the car and drive onto the road, when I get to a stop light I pull out my phone.

*Sorry about Dumb and Dumber babe hopefully you're not mad text you later :)*

I hit send as the message makes its way to Kira. I am so fuming right now, I can't believe they interrupted Kira and I because we didn't go to that stupid meeting. There really wasn't a point to the meeting they just wanted to see what Kira would give up about herself. These business people are worse than parents, they get every little thing out of you even shit you did when it didn't even matter.

The light turns green and I floor it, The car goes speeding forward and I see another light and it turns yellow. My car speeds through the intersection making cars honk and squeal then I see Harry's house and I pull onto the street behind his car and put it in park. I slam my fist against the wheel making the horn honk loudly and I startle myself. I huff before taking the keys from the ignition and go up onto the large porch.

I press on the doorbell rapidly as I hear shouting behind it. I cover the peep hole and wait for the door open

"Look pal who the hell- oh it's just you."

"You have a gym here right" I walk past him into the house and breathe heavily. I can feel my anger grow inside me as i continue to think about how the idiot management company handled the situation of Kira and I in the park.

"Yeah"

"Can I use it?"

"No you're not allowed" He rolls his eyes "Now, what kind of question is that? Of course you can use it."

"You won't believe what management did."

"Oh can't wait to hear this. . ." he says quietly, I can tell he is already disgusted by what they did and he hasn't even heard it yet. 

"Can I borrow a pair of shorts before I tell you, oh, I need a sparring partner too."

"Yeah, hold on I'll be back." I watch as he takes the steps slowly and I take off my flannel and put it on the loveseat in his living room. I take off my shirt and unbutton my jeans. I sit on the chair and untie my boots before putting them by the chair. I rub my face a couple times and i feel myself almost get sick at the thought of them again. How could they do that to her? How could he tell the goons to handle her that way?

I mean she is a lady? No wonder these guys don't have wives or children, they would probably abuse them. If they treat Kira that way without even know who she is then what would it be like to their wives and children? Worse.

"Here." He tosses the shorts down to me as he is halfway down the steps. I put my pants down and step out of them and then step into the shorts before pulling them up my legs.

"You got gloves,"

"Doi!" He says with a roll of his eyes before he laughs. I follow him downstairs to the refurbished basement, half of it is a gym looking setting while the other has a tv and a few things with the Packers symbol on it. The couch is set neatly against the wall while the tv is directly across from him hanging on the wall. I don't come down here unless it is to get something for Harry, which isn't often. "Over there" he points to the shelf full of gloves, they are all different colors and they have a tag underneath them. I see one tag has Harry's name, then beside it is Zayn's. Below Harry is Niall's and beside his is my name. I grab the ones here my name was and Harry's before handing him his.
