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

9.

Emma Johns.

Weeks pass and nothing is heard from Liam, not even Niall knows where he has gone or where he could be. I feel as it is my fault for leaving him to deal with his alcoholic father. It wasn't the best choice but i didn't have a choice, he wouldn't have accepted me staying there as his father's anger boiled. I dont even want to think of the things that could have happened if i stayed, but thinking of what could have happened to him makes my chest hurt. Sitting in Spanish class i know i will fail the exam that will be given by the end of class as i havent been paying attention much lately. I just dont seem to get him or that night completely off my mind.

"Emma, will you please translate the sentence on the board?"

I look at the teacher as they are standing by the board pointing to the sentence, i take a deep breath as i open my mouth ready to talk, but nothing comes out. This is how it has been for weeks now, i havent been able to fully make a sentence to anyone or have a converstation. I shake my head denying that i can fully do it but as the teacher gives me encouraging words i try one more time. Taking a deep breath i close my eyes for a complete second before looking back at the sentence. As soon as I'm ready to finally speak, the classroom door swings open. I look and notice Niall standing there paniced.

"I need Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Emma Johns. It's really important!" He says rushing his words.

The teacher looks to be ready to show something but nods signalling we could go. I grab my bag and head to the door followed by a worried Harry and Louis. When we rush into the hallway Louis starts rambling questions, as i demand answers. Niall doesnt reply as he rushes to his car. I'm getting annoyed with not knowing anything, so i yell his name demanding on kmowing what he isnt telling us. He stops in his tracks and turns to face me, his face shows heartache and his eyes rimmed with tears. This cant be good, he takes a deep breath before walking to me. He pulls me into a hug as he mumbles things that i can't really understand. Pulling away from me he looks me in the eyes, he doesnt have to say anything as i know this has to deal with Liam.

I get in the front seat as I await Niall. As he gets in he starts the car and speeds off in the direction of Liam's house. This house was the first time I actually talked to Liam as well as the first time I knew that I had feelings for him. He pulls into the driveway I notice a figure leaning up against the house. Not knowing who or what it is I push back the idea of it being someone that could harm and think maybe possibly it could be Liam. As I get closer I hear the faint sobs, and heavy breathing.

"Liam?"

The figure raises their head and looks at me. The sparkle in his brown eyes, that sparkle I know right there it's Liam. I rush to him wrapping my arms around him as he continues sitting on the ground. He grunts in pain but I ignore as I'm happy seeing him. He hugs me back, I know that he's okay that everything is okay.

"Emma, you need to leave."

I look up at him not believing he is asking me to leave again. I can't leave him again, not like last time. It killed me to see him the way I did and I will never leave him. I argue stating my point of not leaving him. He argues back as the words unsafe pop into conversation. He brings his hand up to my cheek. His brown eyes stare into my blue ones as he tells me that he doesn't know what he would do if anything happened to me. I lean into him kissing his swollen lips. He kisses back, the passion and want and need for each other is strong in the kiss.

"I love you Liam."

"Emma, I've been waiting years to hear you say that" he states leaning his forehead against mine.

I smile knowing that my feelings for him are out their now as his feelings. I stand up and stick out my head helping his up as much as I can. I place his arm across my shoulder as I head back to where Louis and them stand. The rush to me getting Liam and helping him to the car as the question him. He doesn't say much but he does smile at me as I take the place in the backseat beside him.

"Liam I know it's your father and he needs to stop this, before he kills someone." Niall speaks up.

"Don't tell anyone, mom and Connor are fine for now."

"For now, we need to get you guys away from them" Louis snaps.

"Just let me deal with my dad" Liam speaks up.

"Look at what he has done to you, I don't think you can deal with him" I fire back.

"Guys this is my fight not yours, its my life just let me handle it!"

"Liam I-"

He cuts me off. "Let me handle it, please."

I look into his pleading brown eyes, I give in not wanting to fight with him. This has been to much for me as well as everyone else. I lay my head on his shoulder as we head towards Niall's house.
