Unbreakable (Liam Payne Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 23

Emily's POV*

I quickly walked out of the room to answer my phone.

"Hello?", my voice was quieter than I had intended and I had to repeat myself before she heard me.

"What on earth is going on Emily!?" I moved the phone away from my ear due to her shouting.

"What are you talking about?", I questioned, genuinely confused.

"What had Liam been doing to you?", she was still yelling and I was becoming more confused.

"Mother, what are you on about?"

"The pictures! Front page of magazines! You! Bruises! Headline of "Liam causing pain", what's it about!"

Oh no. I hung up the phone and ran back into the room to tell Liam.

Somehow, somebody had got pictures of my bruises and twisted it into a sick story about Liam causing them.

"What's wrong?", he questioned.

"Magazines. Me. You. Bruises. Bullshit. Pictures-"

"Emily, calm down, what are you talking about?" He stood up and put his hands on my shoulders trying to calm me down.

I took a few deep breaths before continuing.

"My mum just phoned," he looked surprised, "and she told me that there were pictures on the front page of magazines of my bruises and a headline saying "Liam causes pain"". The colour drained from his face and he took his phone out of his pocket.

The other boys had now stood up and were pacing up and down the room.

I could tell that I was about to cry so I blinked rapidly trying to make the tears go away. It didn't work and I just stood there with tears streaming down my face.

Surely people wouldn't believe this, Liam would never ever hurt me. I wonder if Perrie had seen the magazines. I hope she felt guilty.

I looked round and realised that Harry, Liam and Niall had all left the room.

"Where did they go?" I asked Zayn and Louis.

"To speak to management, they need to sort this out quickly." Louis responded.

"I can't believe this, how did they get the pictures anyway, I haven't even shown the bruises to anyone apart from you guys-" I stopped in the middle of my sentence and realised how stupid I was. I'd shown Perrie my bruises at the concert last night, I wasn't even thinking about anyone else I was just angry and wanted her to feel guilty.

"What, what's wrong?" Zayn asked me.

"I'm such an idiot", I said, tugging at my hair with frustration.

Zayn walked over and took hold of my hands trying to ease them out of my hair.

"Why are you an idiot?" He asked, suddenly calm and controlled.

"Perrie came to the show last night", he looked shocked and stepped back a little, "it's fine, she tried to apologise but I wasn't having it, I wanted her to feel bad after what she did. I showed her the bruises so that she knew what she had done and I told her that I was having twins, then she said that she meant what she meant about me staying away from you and I told her to leave, so she did. Someone must have taken the pictures when I showed them to her."

It took the two boys a while to respond.

"But who would have taken them?" Louis asked.

"I don't know, a crazy fan from the audience that could see back stage?" I suggested and he nodded.

"Have you told Liam?" Zayn finally spoke.

"No and I wasn't going to, but now I suppose I'll have to", I felt guilty for not telling him to begin with now. I always seem to cause hassle for him. It isn't fair.
