After Liam and I finished the pizza, I decided to finally ask Liam about his family; about everything that has happened.

He couldn't get mad at me because I know that he loves and trusts me enough; at least I hope so. I just don't want him to hate me though, so hopefully he won't get angry.

Liam takes a sip from his ice cold water as I look at him worriedly, playing with my fingers while I stare at him. He turns to me after swallowing his sip and begins to frown once he notices that I'm staring at him.

"Is something wrong, love? Are you okay?" I smile gently at his worried tone, scooting closer to him. Taking his hand in mine, I then look into his eyes and sigh softly.

"Can you tell me about your family? What happened to them? Your sisters, your parents?" Liam sighs softly and looks down at my hands, lacing his with mine while looking back at up at me.

"It was when I was at a friend's graduation in another state, its kind of fuzzy so I don't remember where, but it was far from where I had lived. He moved Junior year and he was my only, true friend that I cared about.

No one else was there for me like he was, his name was Andy." I notice tears welling up in his eyes so I pull down my sleeves and dap under his eyes with the tips of the cloth. "Thank you," he whispers. I nod.

"Anyway, I went to Andy on a plane alone a few days before it, since my family didn't want to go and they trust me with myself, and they got instantly worried once I landed. I told them that they didn't have to go, but they insisted that they would.

So, they went on the next plane the next day, when I was with Andy, and I was waiting for them on the front porch with him. We were talking about his new friends and how he missed me so much, of course I missed him to death.

What made us shut up though, was a phone call from my mother; it wasn't my mother though. It was a random man who seemed to be crying. I asked who this was and what I heard next make me break down in tears.

He told me that he was on a run and that the plane that my mother was on had crashed near him, not too near of course, and the phone was working just enough. He told me that everyone had died on the plane and I hung up on him, crying on Andy who was helping me immensely.

Him and his parents, who were with him, treated with care and let me do and have whatever I want; I-I didn't want anything though, but I actually did want my family. B-But they were gone. They a-are gone." Liam breaks down once he finishes with what happened, and I pull him close to me as he cries.

I rub his back soothingly with a tear coming from my right eye, Liam sobbing in my lap as Josh And Harry come into the living room.

They stop in their tracks and look at Liam then at me. "Hey, Li, Josh and Harry are here." He sits up while still sobbing quietly and looks at the two who look at him sympathetically.

"Oh, Liam, what's wrong?" Harry asks him as him and Josh sit next to Liam.

He crashes in between them and continues to sob even harder, my heart aching for my poor man who lost his only family; he doesn't have anyone else, at all. Just us three.

No aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, nothing. He only has Josh, Harry, and I; but I think that's all he needs in his life, is just us three. We'll take care of him and I'll be the one to give him love; so much love.

"Liam doesn't need to talk about it anymore until he is fine again, you guys. I'll talk about it after I take him to bed, he needs it after all that he has done for me." The two nod before I pick him up bridle style, taking him to our bedroom.

He cradles his head in my neck and sniffles softly as he wraps his arms around my neck. "I-I love you so much, N-Ni... You know that, r-right?" He hiccups quietly, making me smile a bit, nodding as well.

"I love you so much too, Li. I know you know that. I could never hate you, after all that you've done for me for nearly two months.

You've shown that you've grown and become a better person; its wonderful. You're wonderful." He smiles up at me with tears in the brim of his eyes, sighing shakily afterward.

"I don't know h-how you can love me for what I did to your other friends from before and you; I-I was insane, so insane, and I feel so bad for hurting you and th-them. Terribly s-sorry." I set him down on the bed after moving the covers.

"There's no need to apologize, Li. What you did, you had your reasons for doing them. I was heartbroken that I lost them, I still am, yes, but you had your reasons and I can't help but have sympathy for you as well." Placing a soft kiss to his forehead, I then pull off his shirt and shorts, leaving him in only boxers.

"If you ever need me, I'll be downstairs with Harry and Josh. I love you, Li." My lips meet his forehead before places his right hand to the back of my neck, making me place my lips onto his quickly. My lips twitch into a smile as I kiss the lovely brunette back, moaning softly when he grabs my right cheek.

"Get some rest, Li." I tell him with a chuckle, after separating from the kiss. He grabs my hand to stop me, making me sigh happily and turn back to him. "What, Li?" His face lights up, his bright, teethy smile showing, which makes my heart swell; also at his next words.

"I'll always need you..."
