That Boy // l.p. ||COMPLETED||

5.

Emma Johns.

It's been three days since I've seen Liam. No one seems to know where he is or as most don't seem to know who he is. I have this high feeling that something has happened to him. I spot Niall's blonde hair walking down the hallway carrying motionless books, more then usual.

"Niall!" I yell his name as I pursue near him.

His head turns to me. I watch as the books fall out of his hands. Matthew stands above him looking proud of his previous job.

"Where's you buddy, what's his name? oh wait no one gives a fuck" he says with a snicker.

I continue to walk towards them. I look at Niall as he picks up his papers and books.

"Matthew leave him alone and never speak of Liam like that" I furiously say as I proceed to help Niall.

Matthew stands in shock as everyone soon surrounds us. Helping Niall stand to his feet I hand him the books that I've picked up. He lightly smiles before looking back at Matthew.

"You're not sticking up for them are you?" he questions looking at me in all seriousness.

"Yes I am, not go do something productive" I sternly say.

Everyone soon disappears leaving Niall and I alone. I see Liam's name scribbled on a piece of paper that is sticking out of one of the textbooks.

These most be Liam's books.

Niall hurries off to the main doors not looking back at me. I follow after him, I need answers. I watch as he puts the books in the back before opening the driver side door.

"Where's Liam?"

"What do you mean?" he questions, I see he is trying to hide something.

"You what I mean, just tell me what's up with him?" I fuss.

"He told me not too" he barely whispers.

I knew he knew where he was. I have to somehow get him to take me to see him. I don't know what it is but I have to see him. He might just be that boy that sits in the back of the room away from everyone but after talking to him he is more than that he is actually someone. I walk past Niall and head to his passenger side door, he looks at me confused not knowing what is happening or to say. He gets in beside me, he begins to asking me what's going on. I plainly tell him that I'm not going anywhere with him until he takes me to see Liam. He sits there as he seems to be debating on if this is a good idea or not.

"Fine!" he mutters.

I watch as he starts the car and soon heads down the road to what I'm guessing is Liam's house. He soon pulls into a driveway, he doesn't get out right away he just sits there as he shuts off the car. He looks to me, he instructs that I stay in the car. As he gets out and opens the back door to get the books I get out. He yells after me as I walk towards the front door. I knock lightly.

"Thank god Niall I never-"

Liam stops mid sentence. His eyes go wide as he looks at me. I look him up and down not believing what I see in front of me. The busted lip, black eye, and the bruises that lace his arms frighten me.

"Can I come in?" I softly ask.

He nods as he looks behind me to Niall. I walk past him into the little house, it's very uniquely decorated. The door shuts bringing my attention to Niall has left. I walk towards the little couch. Liam continues to stand by the door looking at me astonished. I ask him if he is going to sit down, he puzzles the idea before coming and sitting beside me. He keeps his head down not even looking at me or anywhere at that matter. I turn my body towards him. Placing my hand over his he winces before pulling back.

"What happened?"

He stays quiet. The bruises seem to fade as some seem fresh. I just wonder who done this to him. The cut above his eye just makes me feel some much pity for him.

"Don't pity me" he finally mutters.

I grab his face in my hands. The pain in his beautiful brown eyes kills me. I seen the pain, hurt and mystery behind everything. I brush my fingers of the bruises forming on his cheek, the way his eyes shine just makes a little smile spread across my face. But it soon fades as I continue to look at his face. I brush my thumb of his busted bottom lip. Just seeing him like this breaks my heart with every second I look at him.

"Liam honey can-"

I let of his face to see a beautiful turning to look to see a beautiful women standing at the door with a blonde headed little boy.

"Hi I'm Emma" I say getting off the couch walking towards them sticking out my hand to her.

She smiles widely at me before shaking it. I notice the little boy hiding behind her.

"Is this the Emma you always talked about?" she questions looking towards her son.

I turn to see his face turn a bright pink. "Mom please stop" he utters.

"Sorry, well I'm going to go cook dinner Emma would you like to stay for dinner?" his lovely mother questions.

I tell her I possibly can't since I have cheerleading practice and homework. She nods before heading to the kitchen.

"Conner come here" Liam says gesturing to the little boy.

He looks at me before running to his brother. As he sits beside him Liam seems pretty protective over his brother. The blonde boys eyes shine bright as he looks up at his older brother. My phone rings in my back pocket, I pull it out seeing Luke's name flashing on the screen. I pull it out of my pocket keeping my eyes locked on Liam. Luke's voice rings through the phone as anger is clear in his voice.

"Where the hell are you?"

I calmly tell him I'm at my friends house and he just soon calms down before demanding he comes and gets me. Hanging up I place the phone back in my pocket. I tell Liam that my ride will soon be here. He nods before moving his brother off his lap and standing up. His face tightens up in pain as he stands. I watch as he limos over to me.

"I'll escort you out" he politely states.

Nodding my head I follow him towards the door as he opens it for me. Stepping out he follows behind. I sit on the step as I wait for Luke.

"When are you coming back to school?" I ask.

He gestures to his face as he explains when everything clears up. I sigh, missing seem him around but understanding his problem. I spot Luke's car pull up. I tell him that I will be by tomorrow before lightly hugging him. Standing up I head to the car. Turning around I wave to Liam as he just sits there. Opening the car door I ease in, feeling Luke's furious stare on me as I buckle up. This is going to be hell filled ride home.
