Forgotten

Chapter 12

"Hey, sleepy face. It's time to wake up" I sing-songed, rubbing circles into Liam's back. He groaned and turned to face me. He squinted and rubbed his eyes.
        "What time is it?" He asked in a groggy voice.
        "11 a.m" i said, lightly pecking his forehead before walking into my room to change. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, and I leaned my head back on his chest. He kissed my collar bone.
        "I'm gonna go change, be right back." He said, grabbing his phone and heading out. I walked into the kitchen to find Gabby all dressed, which was weird considering she never wakes up on weekends.
        "Well look who decided to be alive today!" I said sarcasticly, grabbing a chocolate chip muffin from the stand they sat on. 
        "In case you didn't know. I have a lunch date." She smiled, putting a couple tampons into her bag. My jaw dropped. There was no way she was going on a date with-
        "WITH NIALL?" I squealed, jumping up and down. She blushed and nodded, then went ahead and squealed with me. 
        "It's not weird right? Him being your brother?"
        "No it's fine! He's more like a friend than a brother..." I trailed off. We both went silent. I have to admit it was kind of awkward, but what I said was true. Ever since I had to leave the UK to get away from all the fame, i've grown distant from him, and him with me. It was like I didn't even know him anymore. Thank God for Liam walking in at the perfect moment. He had changed into something more casual than the day before. I walked over and lightly kissed his lips before grabbing my bag. 
        "Have fun on your date." I waggled my eyebrows at Gabby, who just rolled her eyes and skipped into her room.

        "Oh. My. God. LIAM COME HERE!" I yelled, picking out the perfect dress for the Grammy's, which Liam had asked me to attend with him. I couldn't turn such an amazing offer down. 
        "Oh wow. Go try it on." He said, eyes wide. I squealed and rushed into the back to put it on. I walked out and onto the pedestul in front of full-body mirrors. 
        "Oh my goodness..." I sighed, breahtless. It was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. 
        "You look magnificent" I heard Liam say behind me. I spun around to show the full affect. I glanced down at the price tag and frowned. $3,000. He followed my gaze and looked over my shoulder. Silence.
        "You're getting it." He said. I turned around, dumbfounded. 
        "But Li-"
        "No 'buts'. You are getting that dress. You look beautiful. Now take it off so I can buy it" He crossed his arms and stare at me, comepletly serious. There was no way, the price was two times my rent. But I took it off anyway and handed it to the woman. 
        "Will that be all?" The woman asked. She had really heavy lip liner on and eyebrows drawn on. 
        "Yep. Thank you. We'll take it now, in a dress bag if you please." Liam swiped his credit card and stuck it back into his leather wallet. I axiously rubbed my arms. I hated him doing this, I wanted to buy it myself. I just stayed silent and pretended to rub something with my shoe on the ground. I felt Liam wrap one of his strong arms around my waist, but I didn't look up. Once he finished and took the dress bag from the lady he took my hand and we walked out of the Chanel store. I didn't make eye contact with him until he stopped, pulled me off to the side, and made me look at him by pulling my face up. I still didn't look at him. 
        "Bea. Come on, babe, look at me." He cooed, rubbing my cheek with his thumb. I tried so hard to maintain my control, but then he got angry. 
        "Beatrice. Fucking look at me." His voice was harsh, and his grip tightened. I tried to pry his hands off but he was a lot stronger than me. I was always the weakest in the family. His grip grew tighter by the second. I could feel salty tears falling down my cheeks and down to my lips. 
        "Liam.." I squeaked.
        "LOOK AT ME!" He yelled, getting a lot of attention from onlookers. One guy came over and put his hand on Liam's shoulder.
        "Hey man, let go of her. She's crying!" He said, in some accent I couldn't really identify. Sounded European. Liam slowly turned his head to the guy and stared. Eventually the nice man backed up and mouthed to me "I tried". Then he walked back to his family and they continued on their way. People continued to stare. Anger and Sadness built up inside me, and I snapped. 
        "Liam! GET OFF ME!" I screamed, hitting his stomach. He let go of me and bent over, clutching his abdomin. I took off, dress in hand. I made it about halfway to my apartment when I heard him calling me, voice not sounding apologetic. I ran faster, and faster. Tears fallng like a freaking waterfall. When I made it to my apartment I fumbled with the keys but eventually got it in and closed the door behind me, locking it. I slid down the wall and put my face in my hands. I could hear footsteps in front of me and I looked up, makeup obviously running like mad. 
        "Oh my God, Bea. What happened? What did he do?" Gabby picked me up and embraced me. Her shirt would probably have a huge black smear and snot all over it in a minute. 
        "He...He hurt me...grabbed my chin...yelled...I ran" I said inbetween sobs. She "shhh"ed me and rubbed my back. I walked, with her, back to my room and she sat me on the bed. 
        "So he grabbed your chin, hard I'm guessing, and yelled at you? And you ran?" She said, trying to make sense of my mixed up sentence. I nodded and choked on my tears a couple of times. I heard a really loud bang come from the door and I started crying harder into her shoulder. 
        "Its...Him! Hide me!" I said standing up. She quickly pushed me into the bathroom and put me into the, thankfullly, very large laundry hamper. She closed the lid and shut the door behind her. I could hear her open the front door, and heavy footsteps walking around. 
        "Where is she? Please, Gabby, I need to find her." I could hear his muffled voice through the wall. 
        "Not here, haven't seen her since you guys left this morning. Why? Is something wrong?" Gabby asked, worridly. She was a really good actress at times. Doors opened and closed and more muffled words I couldn't understand. More heavy footsteps, coming my way. I covered my mouth and held my breathe when I heard the bathroom door open. Slow feet walked closer to me. I could feel my heart rising up to my throat. The lid slowly opened and  began to cry when I saw who it was...
