My Life With Payne 2: The Fame Game

Well, I'm Screwed

"I gotta go.  I'll call you later Louis.  Nice meeting you all!" Kendall waved before leaving.  "She's nice." Maddy said.  "I like her." I added.  "So do I." Louis said.  "No dip." Maddy said sarcastically.  "Can we chat Hanna now?" Harry asked.  "Ah, whatever.  Sure." I said.  I pulled up Hanna and waited for her to accept the chat.  "What do you want Char?  You woke me up." Hanna said all cranky.  "Told you." Liam pointed out.  "Who's that?" Hanna asked.  "Um... my dad." I lied.  "Speaking of your dad, he called asking for you last night.  I told him that you weren't here." Hanna said.  "Shit.  Shit.  Shit.  Shit." I said loudly.  Everyone looked at me.  I never swear unless something bad happens.  "What?  Should I have told him you were?" she asked, worried.  "Shit.  I'm freaking screwed.  Shit." was all that could out of my mouth.  "What's going on?" Hanna asked.  "Mads and I are...um...in London." I said, handing Harry my laptop and running over to Liam.  "What the hell am I supposed to do now?" I asked him.  "This isn't my problem!" Liam tried to protest.  "I'm good.  You?" Harry was talking to Hanna.

"Not your problem?  You didn't say I was crazy and sent me right home on a plane did you?" I asked.  "Shit." Liam joined in.  Everyone froze.  It'sbad when I sware.  The world is going to end if Liam swears.  "We're all screwed." I faced everyone.  "Why?" Zayn asked.  "Did any of you try to make us go home?" I asked.  Nobody answered.  "Exactly.  Now what the hell am I supposed to do?" I asked.  "First of all, why are you even here?  Did you not tell your parents or something?  Liam said that you two were just visiting." Louis said.  "You didn't tell them?" I asked Liam.  "You didn't tell me!  What am I supposed to tell them when you two show up?  Tell everyone that you ran away?" Liam raised his voice.  Harry stopped talking and turned the laptop to face us.  "I don't know!  It was a spur of the moment type of thing, but you seem to be able to handle anything.  You're like freaking perfect." I tried to keep my voice level.  "Perfect?  I have to deal with you!  You make everything so complicated?  Why do you have to screw up other's lives just because yours isn't perfect at that very moment?  You're not the only girl in the world that has parents going through a divorce!  Nye and Lou have both gone through it!  I can imagine it sucks, but face it, life sucks!  You're overreacting!  Like you always do!" Liam yelled.  "Nice to know that's what you really think." I said before running out of the room.

I ran outside of the hospital, sitting on the curb by the entrance.  I let the tears fall freely from my eyes.  Liam's right.  I'm overreacting.  But he didn't need to yell at me.  Especially in front of everyone.  What was up with that?  He's never one to lose his cool.  Doesn't matter.  Does he really think what he said?  Well, of course he did.  It came out of his mouth.  "Char." Liam said behind me.  "I have nothing to say to you." I said, refusing to look at him.  "But I have something to say to you." he sat down and I turned away from him.  "C'mon Char.  Look at me." he begged.  I turned to face him, but refused to look at him.  He put his fingers under my chin and tilted my head to look at him.  "I'm sorry." he tried to kiss me.  I turned away so he missed.  "You can't just forget you said all of that.  Did you really mean it?" I asked, tears forming.  "Of course not Char.  I love you too much to even think of any of those things I said.  I was a real jerk for a minute, and I know it wasn't okay.  I'm sorry." he said.  I didn't say anything.  I couldn't think of a response.  "I just don't want to lose you.  I was miserable without you.  And know you're here and I'm being an ass.  I understand why you're upset.  But I don't want you to be." he took my hands in his.  "I just can't believe you said that.  In front of everyone." I said.  "And I shouldn't have." he responded.  

"Li?" his eyes met mine.  He nodded.  "You're the best boyfriend a girl could ask for." I said.  "Wait, what?  You're not mad at me?" he asked.  "I was.  But now- just kiss me." I said, leaning in.  Liam did as told, kissing me back.  When we pulled away, I had a giant smile on my face.  "What?" he asked.  "Nothing." I kept smiling.  "Nothing?" he questioned.  "Something.  You." I said.  "What about me?" he chuckled.  "I don't know.  I just know that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." I smiled.  "And you're the best thing that ever happened to me.  Love you." he pecked my lips.  "Love you too." I smiled.
