"To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death." - Taylor Swift

- Liam -

"Hey is Haz out of bed yet, it's almost midday?"

I looked at the clock, Lou was right, it was almost midday, it wasn't like Harry to stay in bed that long he was usually first up.

"Maybe he's hungover or just tired, you never know what he could've been up to with Viv last night" Zayn interjected smirking behind his phone.

"No I don't think it's that" Lou said frowning "He came in early last night and looked really...down. Do you think something happened?"

I sighed "maybe, it's weird though. I've never seen him like this with someone"

The boys nodded in agreement.

"He'll be up soon. We can find out then" Niall concluded, his mouth filled with crisps.

"Suppose your right" I nodded "I'm going for a run, I'll see you in a bit"

The boys nodded as I jogged out the door, putting my ear phones in. Nice bit of Justin Bieber I thought happily turning the corner.

"Viv?"

Viv's eyes widened as she saw me. I looked at her confused, why was she trying to drag her suitcase out the door. She wasn't supposed to be going home for another week and a half.

"Hi Liam" she said, wiping a tear from her eye. She looked like she had been crying all night.

"Where are you going?"

I walked over so I was close to her and looked at all her bags.

"I'm sorry Liam I was stupid thinking I'd be fine here all alone. I have to go home" tears began to form in her eyes again and in an attempt to hide them she blinked at me.

"But what about Harry?"

I was so confused.

"I'm sorry Liam" she whispered pulling me into a hug and then kissing my cheek. She looked at me once more and then left, pulling her suitcase towards the hotel reception.

I hesitated. Was I meant to go after her? Was I meant to pretend I didn't see anything? I went to run but then turned in the direction of my villa.

"Harry?! Harry?!" I sprinted up the stairs and into his room. I was barely able to catch my breath.

Harry sat up straight with a fright and looked at me sadly.

"Harry she's leaving!"

We exchanged a frightful glance and then like a flash he was up, dressed and out the door running down the stairs past the boys, all looking shocked.

- Viv -

*three hours earlier*

I hadn't slept, for gods sake I had barely stopped crying. Why was I so stupid? This was never going to work. I was selfish in thinking I would have a summer romance before I kicked the bucket.

At seven I got up and paced my room. I don't know why my mind was reeling so much, I had to leave. There was nothing here for me anymore. How was I supposed to explain the fucking pharmacy in my bathroom?

Oh sorry Harry meant to tell you I'm a walking time bomb, ready to die at any moment. I'm just taking these pills cause for some sick reason I want another few months.
