Innocent

Chapter 15

Taylor's POV

When Harry closed the door behind me, I felt defeated. I've never been told no before, I mean other then the last couple weeks. But from Harry I mean I've never heard him with that kind of tone. I missed him, but I also miss my popularity status.

I decided to walked home, it was only a few miles and I needed to clear my head. I'll just get my car tomorrow, or sometime. I don't know.

I don't have to go to school tomorrow, I was suspended so the next couple days I was home bound.

My legs brought me to the one place I knew was wrong for me to be. Liam's house.

"Taylor! it's so good to see--what happened to your face??" Anne opened the door for me and let me in. She put her hand to my cheek and I flinched, "let me get something for you"

I just nodded and sat down, she went into the bathroom and came back with a damp towel, and neosporin. She cleaned my face off and fixed me up. Something I wished my mom was here to do.

"What going on sweetheart?"

I started to cry, she wrapped her warm arms around me and ran her hand through my hair. "My life is a mess right now Anne. My friends hate me, Liam hates me, my boyfriend doesn't want anything to do with me. I have no one"

"I'm here, I'm here for you" she smiled and kissed the top of my head "and Liam doesn't hate you, hell he's still in love with you. He was just heartbroken at first"

"So you know?" I asked

"He's a mommas boy. Of course I know" she chuckled

"Taylor?" Liam came out of his room and stared at me. "Are you okay?"

Anne let go of me and I stood, walking over to him I put my head to his chest and my arms around his torso.

He took a moment before setting his arms around my back, giving a little squeeze. We didn't exchange words and he pulled me into his room.

I sat on his bed and he sat next to me, putting his hand on my thigh. "Wanna tell me about it? or just block yourself off like you always do?" he gave me a smirk and I composed myself before telling him everything.

He just listened and nodded, understanding everything. After I finished he took a moment before speaking "I'm sorry they've been doing that to you. I didn't even know." He pushed some hair behind my ear, and whipped my cheek "people can be pretty mean."

I just nodded. We sat in silence for a while and I stood up "where are you going?"

"Home...?" I questioned

"You don't have to leave. stay with me. Just for tonight"

He got up walking over to his dresser, pulling our shorts and his shirt for me. "But, Liam, Harry and I are still figuring things out."

"I know, and I'm happy for you," he handed me the clothes and continued. "I see how happy Harry makes you. And I couldn't ask for anything better for you. If it's not me I'd rather it be him. Yeah he's a dork, yeah I still make fun of him an I'm not going to stop, cause it's too easy" he joked "but, he's yours. And I wish the best for you. I'm sad it's not me"

He walked over to me, holding my waist "only cause I'll never stop loving you"

His words hit me like a bullet, "I won't stop loving you either Liam but--" before I finished my sentence he crashed his lips into mine, pulling me close to him.

I pushed his chest but he held me tight "kiss me back Taylor" he moaned.

"I-I can't Liam" I pushed him again and he let go, "I'm sorry, but I love Harry."
