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

Chapter 18

(Hey guys! I do a lot of the work on my phone so I have errors in spelling because I turned autocorrect off. I'm not that great in grammar either so there are errors in that so bare with me! Thanks! Lots of love -K)

"You know if you want I've got cash to buy you that ticket" He says to me weakly. I see the tears in his eyes while he talks, he never cries.

"I can't" I say with a sob. Liam and I had gotten stuck in traffic. The rush of the morning jamming right before we got here and it went by slowly. We were too far away to walk here but not close enough to make it.

"You know that you don't have to stay here, I will bring you."

"I'm just gonna miss you" I cry out and hug him.

"Flight six-twenty-six to America is now boarding"

"Oh, No this can't be it" I sob "it hasn't been enough time"

"Kira I have to go" he rubs my arms as I hold on as tight as I can.

"No, Joey no, please"

"Kira he has to go" Liam whispers to me.

"No!" I grab his hands tightly and grunt as he tries to pull away, I sob again. He pulls free and Liam grabs my arms and sobbing body and pulls it to him. My cries and loud noises gain the attention of a lot of people which in turn gets the attention on Liam.

"Kira come on we have to go"

". . .No" I whisper "I can't let him go"

"Kira he is on the plane" he pulls at me and Preston tells Liam we have to go now. He takes me with him through the airport and crowds of people. I clutch his hand as more people start to recognize him and crowd around him. The girls are screaming for pictures and autographs with him.

"You okay" he shouts and I nod my head. He can't hear you idiot.

"Yeah" I say quickly then I am being hauled forward and pushed into the car. Liam gets in beside me and slams the door shut.

"No one grabbed you right"

"I'm fine" I say quietly but I feel my lip quiver and I look at him. He pulls me into his chest as I let out a loud sob.

"It will be okay I promise. . ."

"So do you think that Joey will ever come back" Bailee, another one of my friends asks me. She and I have also been friends for a very long time. We don't talk as often as we used to but it's as much as I can. Lately it's been a little hectic for me.

"I don't know, it scares me to think about it" Which is true, I'm so scared that he won't come back. It terrifies me, maybe he will find that he is happier there than here.

"Bailee!" I head on the other end "Oh, I gotta go. . ."

"Okay, I'll talk to you another time."

"Bye"

"Bye" I hang up and lay my phone on the bed beside me. I turn the tv on, flipping through the channels to see if anything interesting is on but I come up short, like usual.
