Through The Dark (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 14 -- It's Game Time

Winnie's P.O.V.

Things really haven't been the same between the guys and I since what happened yesterday. I mean Liam, Niall, Louis, Zayn, and I are fine, but Harry just kind of distanced himself. Not to the other boys but just me. I walked into the living room later in the morning and saw Harry sitting by himself.

“Hey Harry, can we talk?” I asked. He looked over at me and nodded his head. I walked closer to the couch and sat down next to him.

“Look Harry, I know you're pissed at me and I know you're pissed at Liam but this is just ridiculous. Harry I'm sorry you developed feelings for me, and I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you want. I only want Liam. I don't wanna break your heart but you're gonna have to forget about your feelings for me. I wanna be friends with you, but I'm only going to be friends with you if you respect my relationship with Liam.” I said.

He stared into my eyes and I finally saw his adorable smile. He then leaned towards me and hugged me tightly.

“I'm sorry Winnie. I wanna be friends with you and I promise to stay out of your relationship with Liam.” he said.

“Thanks Harry.” I said and got up.

Harry's P.O.V

I watched as Winnie walked away and I can't believe I just lied straight to her face. I can't just stop my feelings for her. I don't care what she says but I'm going to make her mine sooner or later. Even if it hurts Liam.

Winnie's P.O.V

“Okay Win, as soon as you see one of our opponents press this button and shoot as quickly as possible.” Niall said. Today the lads had a day off and they begged me to go play paintball with them. I can't believe they actually convinced me to go along. Niall, Zayn, and I were on a team, and Harry, Liam, and Lou were on the other. Niall, Zayn, and I took off into the maze and began the battle. For a good five minutes, nothing was happening, but then all of a sudden I heard a girlish scream, knew it was Zayn, and the war had started. Niall grabbed my hand and dragged me towards a dark room and we hid from our opponents.

“Niall, I'm scared.” I admitted.

“Don't worry Winnie, it doesn’t hurt that bad when you get hit.” he said. And I swear the second he finished that sentence, I felt the sharpest pain on the back of my leg.

“Holy fucking shit. That fucking hurt! Whoever just shot me is dead!” I screamed. Of course my screaming blew our cover, and I felt paintballs being pelted at us.

“RUN!” Niall yelled and took my hand. As we were running, I dramatically fell to the ground and screamed.

“GO ON WITHOUT ME NIALLER!” I screamed.

“OKAY!” he screamed and took off.

“YOU JERK!” I shouted. As I was laying on the ground, I decided to army crawl my way through the maze. When I decided to get up I suddenly ran right into another body and looked up to see Zayn standing there.

“Zayn, why are you just standing here?” I asked.

“Because I'm debating on whether or not we should torture our opponents.” he said. I moved from behind him and saw Liam, Louis, and Harry standing with their hands in the air. A huge smirk appeared on my face and I looked at Zayn.

“Definitely torture them.” I said and held my gun up. Zayn and I got our guns ready, pointed, and a smirk crept on my face.

"You have to the count of three to run and escape the painful shots of these paintballs." I smirked. I watched as they attempted to scramble to their feet and I started counting.

"1, 2, 3." I said and then started shooting. I heard screams left and right and Zayn and I chased them down.

Later that night at the hotel...

When we got back to the hotel, we all sat down at the table and ate dinner. After dinner, Liam said he was going to put Toy Story on for us, and I headed upstairs to take a quick shower. I did my regular routine and then quickly blow dried my hair. As I was getting dressed, everything hurt. I put my bra on and a pair of black lacy panties and gasped when I saw my body in the mirror I have in my room. I had huge welts/bruises all over my stomach, on the back of my legs, my arms, and then one on the side of my head. I traced over it and cringed in pain. I slipped my sun dress on and then turned around to see Liam standing there. I have no idea how long he was there so I hope he didn't see the bruises.

“Hey Li.” I said and kissed his cheek.

“Winnie.” he said and looked me up and down.

“Don't say it.” I said.

“Win, I saw all the bruises on your body. I'm so sorry babe.” he said and stroked my cheek.

“Li, it's fine.” I said.

“I knew we shouldn't have took you to play that game.” he said while shaking his head.

“Liam, babe, it's fine.” I said and took his hand and we walked downstairs. I sat down on the couch next to Zayn and Liam sat on my other side and pulled me close to him. Halfway through the movie, I passed out and I felt Liam carry me upstairs to our room and he fell asleep with me.
