Chapter 23

Liam's POV

I didn't really have a chance to talk to Danielle that much when she came here, I had to go talk to Mrs. Jones and her family about the whole 'California/Grandmother/Harry' situation which took all night and she ended up sleeping on my bed while I slept on my couch.

I wake up and walk into my room I find her awake folding her clothes into her suitcase.

"I think we should talk now" she said not taking a look at me.

"Okay, well then what is there to talk about?" I sat on the couch across from my bed.

"Liam why?"

"Why what Danielle?"

"Why did you end it? I thought we were good" she sighs.

"Me? Wh-what Danielle you ended it!? You're the one who said you wanted a 'break' and that you couldn't deal with the fact that I was 'thousands of miles away' I thought we were going to make it work but instead you thought it was okay to end things" I folded my hands and put them on my lap.

She closes her suitcase and sits on the edge of my bed.

"Liam I know what I did okay-"

"Then why are you trying to blame me, you always do this shit Danielle blame me and expect me to come chasing after you."

"Will you hear me out!?"

"Fine."

"I know things were said that we didn't mean but it's not like I wanted to purposely hurt you Liam, I just couldn't stand seeing you with some other girl."

"Some other girl what are you talking about Danielle?"

"Liam I seen you with that Sophia chick, the paparazzi got a picture of you two holding hands" I swallowed my dry spit.

"What else did you see?"

"Nothing just the hand holding, there weren't any pictures" she paused "but I just didn't like it Liam I came here to talk to you because you ignored my last text and this was the only way I can see you face to face without you trying to ignore me."

"I don't want to break your heart or anyone else's there has been a lot going on-"

"With who that skank Cali?" I felt my hand twitch I had to remain cool but I felt like throwing a rock at her face for saying something like that about California.

"You don't even know her-"

"I don't have to know her enough to say that she basically fucked all of you guys-"

"California isn't like that" I stood up and walked over to her "and if you knew her you wouldn't say that. She's been my best friend for over a year in a half now, she's been there for me when you weren't. Shes nothing more or less of a friend and if you knew her or me you would know I'm not that type of guy and she's not that type of girl. Harry is in love with her, and I don't see her that way. I don't know what happened to you, but you were never like this. I'm sorry Danielle but I think it's time for you to go" I helped her with her suitcase and walked out my bedroom door and out the apartment.

I handed her, her suitcase without making eye contact with her.

"So I guess this is it? You're throwing everything away from some girl?"

"California is just my best friend and Sophia would never accuse me of having sex with her" I turned towards the door "and besides you're the one who threw everything away when you slept with Tommy, one of my best mates."

I open the door and close it behind me, I lean against it letting out a huge sigh.

I have this weight lifted off my shoulders and I couldn't be any more happier I don't mean to end things like that but I just didn't want to have someone holding me back.
