Behind Closed Doors (Liam Payne fanfiction)

Chapter 14- Little Things

"Hows about, you tell me the story you promised?"

I thought about it for a few seconds before I slowly and reluctantly nodded my head. Well, I did promise him, so I brought this on myself.

"Well basically..."

********************

I told him the story of my parents car accident, the tears streamed down my face.

There was not one moment during the conversation where Liam wasn't holding me. His arms were wrapped protectively around my torso as he let me sob into his shoulder, wetting his shirt. He would whisper reassuring thing in my ear and stroke my hair gently.

"I'm so sorry, Cerys.." he whispered.

"That's not all" I replied, hiccupping.

"My sister died shortly after. She wasn't in an accident... she.. sh-she committed suicide" I said, crying even harder.

"I found a note on the bathroom door and I read it. I was so confused so I opened the door. There she was. She was just lying there in a pool of her own blood. Liam. I can't get this image out of my head." I said, my voice starting to get louder.

I gripped onto his shirt and my voice continued getting louder.

"She was there. I saw her. Liam, im haunted by this image, every time I shut my eyelids, all I can see is her!"

"Shhhh, it's okay Cerys, i'll help you." He said as he stroked my hair.

"Thank you, Liam" I sniffled.

"Would you like to go and visit their graves sometime soon? We can buy flowers and pay our respects." He offered.

I shook my head, "They don't have graves.." I trailed off.

He cocked his eyebrow up in confusion.

"I was broke, I'm young, no job, there was no way I could pay for all that." I explained.

"Oh" was all he said, sadness coating his features.

"I really need to go back to my uncles house. I need to try and find my belongings, and I need to get my family's ashes, I haven't set them free yet." I told him.

"Of course, we can go right now if you'd like?" He offered.

"Umm, it's not as easy as that" I explained.

Oh God, what do I tell him? Should I tell him everything or should I miss out the gory details?

"Why not?" he asked.

"Um, he's kinda an alcoholic and I need to try and get in without him noticing. It would be best if I went while he's at work."

I purposefully missed out the details of the abuse and attempted sexual assaults etc.

He nodded. "I'm so sorry, Cerys." He said as a single tear rolled down his left cheek.

"Liam, don't cry. I'm okay." I said, I attempted a smile and wiped the tear from his face,

We hugged each other tightly and my eyes started drooping.

It seems like all I ever do is cry and sleep.

"I'll be back in a sec, i'll get you something to sleep in" He said as he stood up and walked out the door.

I had a few seconds to think things through. I just explained most of my problems with this man. I barely know him and he already knows more about me than anyone else. I don't understand why I trust him so much, but there's just something about Liam Payne which makes my heart flutter.

He came back shortly after with black and red basketball shorts and an oversized white tshirt in his arms. He handed them to me and I smiled, walking in the bathroom to get changed. I left my other clothes on the toilet lid and walked back out, seeing Liam sitting on the bed.

I walked over to him and pecked his cheek. My lips tingled.

"Thank you for listening to my pathetic sob story" I said with a scoff.

"It's not pathetic. It's part of your life. There's something about you Cerys. I don't know what it is but I feel the need to protect you. I've never felt like this about anyone before, you intrigue me and I want to know every little detail of your life. What makes you smile, what makes you sad, what makes you laugh, whats your favourite colour, your favourite food, I want to know everything, and I hope someday there will be nothing new to learn."

I was in complete shock by Liam's speech. Nobody has ever really given two shits about my favourite colour or food.

I looked into his big brown eyes and smiled.

"I know there's more to the story you were telling me, and I hope I can earn the trust needed to make you tell me. I want to be there for you Cerys." he spoke softly.

His arms wrapped around me again and I hugged him back.

I swear to God, Liam gives the most amazing hugs, I could honestly die in his arms and be happy.

He gently picked me up and placed me under the covers.

He began to walk away before I spoke up.

"Liam" I said

He turned around and looked at me.

"Can you stay with me please?" I asked, hopeful he would say yes.

A smile creeped onto his face as he took his shirt off and began to walk around to the other side of the bed. I couldn't keep my eyes off his toned abs. He noticed me checking him out and I felt a blush overtake me as I turned the other way.

I heard him chuckle quietly before I felt the bed dip down, indicating he was in it.

I felt him shuffle his weight closer to me and I soon felt his stomach against my back and he draped an arm over my waist.

My stomach was going crazy with the amount of butterflies floating in there.

His fingers laced with mine and my fingers tingled.

He gently placed a kiss on my temple and murmured a "Goodnight, sweet dreams." to me.

I smiled and closed my eyes.

*********

About 20 minutes later, sleep hadn't overcome my body yet.

I sighed in frustration.

"Are you awake?" I heard Liam whisper quietly.

"Yup. I can't sleep." I replied.

"Would you like me to sing you to sleep?" He asked.

His hand was still tangled with mine.

He was so sweet, i'd never felt this loved in all my life. We weren't even in any sort of status to 'love' eachother, but I was starting to feel emotions towards Liam that i'd never felt towards anyone before in my life.

"I'd love that" I said quietly, a smile n my face.

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me,

but bear this in mind, it was meant to be,

and im joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks,

and it all makes sense to me"

He continued singing the song with such an amazing melody and beautiful lyrics. I'd never heard this song before and it helped me to slowly drift off to the best sleep i'd had in months.
