Guardian Angel // Liam Payne - Paused

4.

When I leave that garden, I can't avoid to cry. I'm not crying because I miss my mum -- yeah, I miss her, all the time, but I've learned how to deal with it -- , I'm crying because I'm worried. Liam doesn't know how lucky he is for having someone who he can talk to or cry with, but I guess it's not his fault. It's a humanity's problem: everyone doesn't appreciate what they have until they lose it and finally understand they couldn't have better.

"Are you crying?" A voice sounds, close to me, and I quickly clean my tears. I don't like when I cry and especially when people see it.

"No, it was just something inside my eye." I lie, and I look up to find some beautiful eyes. It's Matt.

"Are you sure? Because I saw you with Liam and you skipped class and I'm worried." He admits, putting one of his arms on my shoulders.

Matt's eyes are shining and he looks at me in a very unusual way. Is he trying to read my face, like he was some psychologist?

"What?" I ask, while we walk to the dorms. He laughs, looking in a different direction, and I get even more confused. "Matt!"

"You're hiding me something." He wispers and I stop, making him stop too. I don't like him to think like that, I really like him and we are becoming so closer... I'm hiding him something, yes, but it's something that it's not mine, it's Liam's and I can't just tell Matt, even though I'd like to.

"You're becoming one of my amazing best friends and I don't want to lose you, Matt. So, you can't say I'm hiding you something, because I'm not, ok? I can't let you think that way." I say, seriously. He smiles at me and I smile back, hoping this will be forgotten.

"Bon, I trust you, okay? I was just curious, because I know you know something about Liam, but I also understand why you can't tell me. I wouldn't either, okay? So, don't worry, you are not losing me!" He assures me, and I feel happy for having such a comprehensive friend. I really like Matt.

"Okay..." I mumble, happy. "I have to go, now, I'm tired and I still have to study.

*-*-*-*-*

I've been studying for three hours when Sam enters our room and I'm tired. I put my books on its place again and I sit on my bed, looking at Sam, who seems strange.

"Is everything okay?" I ask, but she doesn't answer me. She just turns her back on me and grabs something from her bag. "Sam?"

She still doesn't say anything, but she shows me her screen phone, where I can see a photo of Oliver, kissing ... Me? What?!

"Sam, that's fake, I swear, I would never do that to you, you know me." I try to explain, already in panic, but she doesn't let me continue. She starts crying and when I try to get closer, she pushes me away from her, making me cry as well.

"How could you do this to me? I was your friend, your best friend!" She shouts on my face, angry and disappointed. How can she think like that, she knows I would never hurt her, I couldn't! "Just get out!"

I don't even fight her, I just leave our room and walk out of the building, heading to the next building. I knock at Matt's door and it takes two seconds until a known face opens the door. It's not Matt, though, it's Liam. He looks at me, worried, and makes me enter their room.

"Are you okay?" He asks, making me sit on one of the beds, and sits next to me. "What happened?"

"It's just that Sam... She... She thinks I kissed her boyfriend or worse." I cry out ignoring the fact that I'm opening up for Liam, someone I barely know. "Someone made this picture and Sam doesn't believe in me, she knows me, I would never do this!"

I notice how miserable I am when Liam hugs me. He wouldn't otherwise, it's just because I'm a wreck. I can't lose Sam, she's the one who knows everything about my past, she's the one who really knows me. I won't ever find anyone else like her.

"I'm gonna find the one who made that picture, okay?" Liam assures me and I manage to smile. It's a weak smile, I'm tired, really tired, I don't have the strength even to cry anymore. I feel my eyes are heavy and I end up falling asleep on Liam's arms.
