Meant to Be

Admit It

Just a reminder that the last chapter ended with Jen and Liam walking to the car after their dinner. Jen just said ""Liam, I know I'm stupid for saying this because it's not the right situation for you. But, I'm also stupid for holding it in for so long. I smile like an idiot when I'm talking to you. Doesn't matter if it's in person or through text, or through anything else. I just smile because it's you. It's as if..well I'll just say it straight up. The thing is, I kinda...maybe...sorta well actually I do...I like you way more than I originally planned."

*Liam's Point of View*
By the time she finishes saying what she was saying, I am smiling. Grinning ear to ear. I want to kiss her. Not because I want to feel the softness of her lips, or the touch, or warmth.
I want to kiss her because I can't think of any other way to fully express the beauty that she is. I want her to know that I see her as perfect and I want to be with her.

So I do.

I take her face into my hands and connect my lips to hers. In this moment I don't care about anything else. I don't care about any paparazzi watching, or getting caught. I know what I am doing is supposedly wrong, but how can it be if it feels so right? When we break apart I deep her lips curve into a smile and she looks down to the ground.
"I'm sorry," I say. "I had to do that."

We get into the car and I begin driving to Jen's house. At first, the car ride is silent and I begin to worry if I just made things awkward. But then she starts to talk about work and how she had to leave in a few days for the final Passengers premiere. Then we begin talking about the old Hunger Games days, and soon I pull up to her house. That 30 minute drive only seemed like a couple minutes since we were so busy talking.

"Alright well...I'll see you sometime soon I guess?" Jen says. Just as she is about to open the car door "wait," I say.
I take a deep breath and begin to say what I should have said long before.
"Jen, what you said earlier... I...I just didn't know how to respond and tell you how I feel. Because what you said was so accurate, and I just want to tell you that I really do want to be with you. I know it had taken me a long time to finally admit it, even though it was what I wanted all along."
She stops and looks at me for a moment and then asks "wait, what about Miley?"
"I know," I say. "I will. I am going to finally tell her and break it off." Just give me... well a little bit of time. I know, I know it has taken me long enough. But I promise you it won't take much longer." I tell her.

Jen smiles. There is so much reassurance in her smile, it makes me grin as well.
"Thank you, and thank you for tonight." She says softly.
I hold onto her hand and plant a gentle kiss on the top of it.
Then she open the car door, and looks back at me. "So I'll see you later?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'll call you." I say, still smiling.
She turns around and begins walking to her front door.
"Bye!" I call out.
She looks back one more time and waves with the smile still on her face. I notice the slight spring in her step. I laugh to myself thinking, gosh she's adorable, and then I drive off into the night.

Once I pull up to mine and Miley's Beverly Hills apartment, I begin to think of everything that occurred tonight. And everything I should've said much, much earlier.

I begin to think of how and what I will say to Miley tonight. I finally have the courage to do this after years and years. This relationship has turned the past couple of years into something I never wanted. The media has turned mine and Miley's relationship into something it isn't. And I had no clue how to control it. It was as if I was being brainwashed. Brainwashed by Miley. But now that I've finally come to my senses, thank god I've built up the courage to do so.

I walk into our flat and see Miley sitting in the lounge room. She spoils me and her expression automatically shifts.
"Oh look who decided to come home," she says, clearly feeling enraged. "Where exactly did you go?" She rages.

I take a deep breath and begin.
"Miley, we need to talk."
