Someone Breaks Into Your House When He's Not There But You Are (Liam)

You had left the house earlier to go for your morning jog. Liam had left even earlier to go to the studio so you expected to come home to an empty house. But that's not what you got. You walked up the front steps, wiping the sweat of your forehead, not realizing the front door was open slightly until you got closer. You were sure you had closed and locked it when you left. Maybe Liam was home early.

"Liam?" you called, pushing the door open and closing it. But it wasn't Liam standing in your kitchen rummaging through the drawers.
The man looked like a drug addict. His eyes were bloodshot with large bags and his arms were covered in bruises. His eyes were wide because he had been caught in the act. But you were just as scared as he was. Of course you were scared, there was a strange man in your house.

"W-Who are you?" you asked, not wanting to threaten him in fear of what he could do. He was silent.

"Why are you in my house?"
He reached over to where the kitchen knives were and pulled one out, making you jump.

"Hey now, I'm not going to hurt you," you said, trying to make him put it down.

"W-What do you want? Money? I have money. Just please, p-put the knife down."

"I want all your money lady." His voice was raspy, like a smoker's voice.

"Y-You can have it all... Just please... Put it down," you repeated.
Hesitantly he set it down as you began walking backwards towards the drawer where Liam kept some cash, plus the money that was in your purse. It definitely wasn't all your money, but you didn't want this man longer in your house longer than he needed to be.

"H-here, this is all I have," you continued, setting it on the counter in front of him. He eyed it hungrily, snatching it up and running out of your house.
You let out a sigh of relief and relaxed against the counter. Your heart was beating, but you were pretty proud of yourself for handling that situation pretty well.
You made sure all the doors were locked, as the paranoia was still there. But none the less, you locked them and went upstairs to take a shower, locking the bathroom door as well. Once your hot shower was finished and the initial shock was over, you changed into a pair of sweats and a baggy t-shirt. You would tell Liam about what happened when he got home. You didn't want him to worry.
A few hours of movies and slight paranoia later, your boyfriend walked through the door, setting his keys down in the bowl next to the door.

"Hey love," he greeted, falling next to you and giving you a hello kiss.

"How come the door was locked? You never lock it babe," he questioned. He was right, you never really locked the door when he left.

"I... Something happened that made me feel the need to lock it," you answered. It wasn't a lie, it just wasn't the complete truth.

"What happened? Are you okay?" he asked, his protective side taking over.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine... It's just, when I got home from my jog today, there was a man in the kitchen rummaging through our stuff. He just wanted money Liam. So I gave him what was close and he left. Not a huge deal," you explained.

"(Y/N) why didn't you call me?" he asked, the worry evident in his voice.

"I didn't want you to worry. Besides I handled it well and nobody got hurt."

"But what if he wasn't just looking for money?! What if he wanted something else?"

"Liam, he didn't want anything more but money. And now he's gone, so stop assuming the worst! I'm fine!" you chuckled a little at his reaction.

"This isn't funny (Y/N)."

"Oh... I'm sorry," you reached over and kissed him softly.

"But it's okay Li. I'm safe and you're home, so everything's okay."

"I guess," he agreed, wrapping his arm around your waist.

"I'm just happy he didn't hurt you."

"Me too." You smiled warmly up at him and he returned it finally calming down a little.

"Now c'mon, you look tired. Let's go to bed." He yawned and you took his hand, leading him up to bed, just glad that today turned out the way it did.
