5: Why Don't You Love Me?

CHAPTER 5

Liam’s P.O.V

“Danielle, WAIT! Please!”  I pleaded, running down the stairs after her as she was just about to walk out through those front doors when I pulled her back in, not even caring if everyone else in the living room could hear us right now.

“Danielle, please, it’s not what it looks like! I don’t love her, I love YOU! That kiss meant nothing to me; I only kissed her back because I felt sorry for her! The love I have for her is like a sisterly feeling, it’s nothing compared to what we have!” I confessed, hoping she would understand that I didn’t love Jade.

She kept shaking her head whilst looking down as if everything she was hearing was a lie to her now.

“PLEASE Danielle, it didn’t mean anything!” I repeated.

As I tilted her chin up slightly, we were suddenly gazing up into each others eyes. But it wasn’t with passion. No. Mine was filled with guilt and plead whilst her had pain and sorrow written all over her face.

Tears were still streaming down from her eyes as I tried wiping them away with my hands, only to be backed off when she suddenly flung her arms in the air.

“Liam, I know you care for Jade… I see it in your eyes.” She hurtfully said.

“Noo, I would nev-“

“Well that’s not what I saw”

“No, y-“ I tried arguing back, but once again I was cut off.

“I think we need a break” she suddenly blurted out, seeing more tears forming again.

“What? Dan-“ I yelled, with absolute disbelief, when suddenly her soft cold hands covered my mouth from saying any further, as we both looked around, seeing our whole surrounding…

Everyone inside the living room could see and hear us perfectly clear. As each and every one of them looked gob smacked.

Her soft voice sent chills down my spine, as she said the last two words I never thought I’d get from her. Never thought I’d hear. Never thought it would happen.

“Goodbye Liam” she simply said before walking out the door. Walking out of my life. Leaving me broken.

As I felt a single teardrop escape from the corner of my eye, I quickly swiped it away, until I turned around and suddenly saw Jade right beside me, looking quite hurt too.

“We need to talk” she suddenly blurted out, before going up the stairs as I followed her, I ended up leading her into my bedroom where we could talk in private, as I sat on my bed and she awkwardly stood opposite me.

“You can sit down if you want” I coughed before patted the spot beside me.

As she took the offer and sat there, she then suddenly held my hand.

“Liam, I’m so sorry… I couldn’t help it though, I couldn’t…” she kept shaking her head as I sat there, patiently waiting for her to carry on.

“It’s just that…. I really like you Liam… as in like-like, and I’ve been having this feeling now for quite a while… so when I first saw Danielle, I felt that instant ugly jealous feeling swirl up inside of me. I hate it. I hate seeing you with her. But I never meant to end it this way. I didn’t mean to break you guys up…. So I truly am sorry because I kn-“

“Jade” I said, cutting her off immediately.

“I’m sorry but I don’t love you. To me, I only see you as a best friend. You’re like a sister to me…. but that’s it. I don’t feel what you feel right now for me. I’m sorry but that’s that and I don’t want anything other than to just be your best friend.” I tried saying it as nicely as I could, letting her down easy whilst I patted her back for comfort.
