A Day in the Park

Chapter 7

Liam’s POV

You didn’t even let anyone speak; you just got up and left. You walk out of your hotel room. You don’t really know where you are going. You just needed to get away. I have never been like this with Zayn. We had always had a good relationship. I don’t understand why I am doing this to myself. I don’t I just follow what my heart tells me and just not listen to what Zayn and management says. But what if they are right? What if I do get attached and Kenzie doesn’t want to because she doesn’t want anyone in her life but Chloe. Chloe is everything to her. I can’t just ask someone to push a little girl aside to get attention as well. I would never make Kenzie do that; I couldn’t make Kenzie do that to Chloe.

You have been walking for a while and you look around. You don’t know where you are. It looks familiar but you can’t place it. You look down and see the water and stones. It’s the place i had found Chloe at hours before. You weren’t too far from the park. It was in the wooded trees that no one goes into. I know why Kenzie liked this place growing up. It is lovely with the moonlight on the water. You take your phone out and notice that everyone including management has called. You look again to see that Kenzie has called. Why did she call? It’s 3 in the morning. She should still be asleep for work at 5. You call her back.

“Kenzie what’s wrong?” You ask when she answers.

“Where are you Liam? The guys have called multiple of times to see if you came over here. Why did you leave the hotel?” You hear worry in her voice. It saddens your heart.

“I left because I needed air. I have found myself in the little water fall that we found Chloe just hours before.” You state.

“Why are you there? You need to get back to the hotel Liam. Everyone is very worried about you.” She says trying to make herself sound more like a mother and not a friend.

“I can’t. I need to be alone to think.” You say like a little child. Right now you feel like a child that had gotten his favorite new toy taken away from him.

“Think about what Liam? It’s three in the morning. Go back and get some rest.” She states with a hint of anger in her voice.

“Fine. But we need to talk today, Kenzie. After work? I can take you and Chloe out for dinner.” You said.

“Fine! Just go back to the hotel!” She responds and you jump at the sound of her voice. She is yelling at you.

She hangs up and leaves you to yourself in the little wooded area. I promised her I would go back. I should go back. I wonder what the guys want. I mean yes I walked out but it wasn’t like they are all that upset at what Zayn had said. Even if Zayn doesn’t go with us to management I need to talk to them, so they can change their minds about Kenzie and Chloe. You start to walk back to the hotel. Thankfully no one noticed who you were. You get to your room and no one is there thankfully. You close the door and lock it. You lay on your bed and drift off to sleep.

Kenzie’s POV

I don’t understand why he would walk out like that. It is three in the morning. What could they really be talking about in order for him to just up and leave? You lay in bed not being able to sleep any more. You have two more hours before you have to be at work. You call your mother Gwendolyn (Gwen for short).

“Hey am I able to drop Chloe off for the day? I know it’s Sunday but I got called into work.” You ask Gwen.

“Sure hunny, your father and I were just planning our day. I guess we will just head to the park.” She answers you.

“Thanks mom. See you in a bit” You say and hang up.

You got up to make coffee. You get in the shower before you wake Chloe up. While in the shower you were thinking about everything that was happening; Liam, Chloe, work, everything. It’s not like I can just undo the past two days. How is it possible that everything has happened in less than a year? I had to cut your hours to look after Chloe. Kayla died less than two months ago. And now you have found Liam just two days ago. You get out of the shower and get dressed. The only bad thing about your job is you have to dress up. You put your clothes on and some makeup and do your hair. You walk over to Chloe’s door and get her up. You get Chloe dress and head to your mother’s house.

You get to your mother’s house, and knock on the door. “Come on in. I’m making breakfast.” Your mother says. “Great! Chloe hasn't eaten yet, but I have to get to work.” “Sit down and eat something, Kenzie.” She says. You sit down and eat what is on your plate fast. You were already late for work. “I have to go mom. I’m already late. By babez, see you when I get off.” You give Chloe a kiss and your mother one too while saying thank you and walking out.

Getting into your car was hard today, but you head to work anyways. You didn’t want to work; you really just wanted to talk to Liam. You didn’t really know what was going on. It’s like you are on a roller coaster. I never felt this way with anyone like I did with Liam. Not even Kendal made you feel like you did with Liam. Yes Kendal was sweet and treated me like I was everything but it was like something was missing. Then there’s Shiloh. He was a kid of foster parents that Kayla and I were at. He was sweet, too sweet. When in public he treated me like I was nothing but when we got back home, he acted like I was his world. I never liked him. He was conceded, I hate that in a person. You stop abruptly; someone ran a red light and almost hit you. Right there and then you started to cry. You were hunched over the steering wheel and just bawled. Your tears start to slow and you look out the window. No one was on the roads anymore. You start to go and head to work.
