A Drop in the Ocean (Liam Payne)

Chapter 19

Annabelle's POV

.

When I awoke, it was as if it was bright, but I couldn't see. I tried to move my hands up to my eyes, but they were restrained. I suddenly realized I was blindfolded.

"Liam? Are you there?" I didn't hear a response.

"Liam? What's going on? Why am I blind folded? Why can't I move m-" I was cut short by someone slapping me across the face.

"Who's there? Liam?" I could feel beads of sweat starting to form on my forehead. Suddenly the person punched me in the jaw.

"SHUT UP!" Someone screamed in my face. I recognized the voice immediately.

"Sp-Spencer?" I said out of breath.

"That's right darling. Now I've got you here all alone." He whispered into my ear. He then pulled my blindfold off. My hands were tied behind my back to a pole in a room I had never seen.

"Spencer. What's going on?"

"I'm gonna have some fun. And the best part is... No one can stop us." He said while laughing. I became scared with my heart beating inside my ears. I suddenly saw a figure walking outside of the room. It was Liam.

"LIAM!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"LIAM!" I screamed again.

"I thought I told you to shut up!" Spencer screamed.

"LIAM! LIAM!" I screamed through my tears.

.

"Annabelle!" Liam said as he shook my shoulders.

"LIAM!" I screamed again as I jolted up on the couch. I could feel my cheeks streaked with tears. My face was hot and my breaths were short.

"Annabelle. Are you alright?" I couldn't answer, I was still trying to catch my breath. Finally I was able to answer him.

"Y-yes. I was just having a bad dream." I said while my whole body shook.

"What was it about?" Liam asked before he sat down on the couch.

"Well... Uh..." I wanted to tell him, but what if he some how figured out about Spencer?

"You don't have to tell me. You just scared the crap out of me." He said while taking my hand in his.

"Thanks." I said and he nodded. I felt kind of guilty for not telling him. I suddenly remembered why I was over at Liam's house and became confused.

"Liam?" I asked with a frown on my face.

"Yes?"

"What happened last night?" He looked up at me and stared at me for a few seconds.

"Liam?"

"Sorry... Okay, last night. I'm not sure how to say this, so I'm just gonna say it..."

"Okay?"

"I think Spencer tried to drug. No, no. He did drug you."

"No. Spencer wouldn't do that." I said even though I knew that Spencer would do exactly something like that.

"Look Anna I know this might be hard to hear, but Spencer just dosen't seem like a very nice guy."

"So you're telling me that Spencer drugged me and that he's not a nice guy?" I knew everything that Liam was saying was most likely correct, but for some reason I felt like I should act like none of it was true.

"Well yes, but I don't want you to be upset."

"Is there anything else?" I asked while I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Yeah. I'll start from the beginning. Okay, so I had just walked into the room when I saw you collapse. I ran over to you and started asking Spencer question. He was too drunk to even try to answer, so he just shoved me and told me to go away and that you were fine. I lingered for a while, because I didn't want to leave you alone. I watched Spencer try to pick you up/ drag you across the carpet. Like I said he was to drunk to even stand by himself so he didn't get very far. I then went back over and asked again what happened. He looked up at me and very sluggishly said, 'I drugged her. Duh!' I became a bit paranoid and asked if we should call an ambulance or something, but apparently he didn't like that idea. I was on the ground next to you when he kicked me. He rammed his foot into my stomach. He took my breath away and I wasn't able to get back up before he started punching me in the stomach. I finally caught my breath and got up and with one punch he was out. I then picked you up and carried you to my house. I'm really sorry I interfered. I just didn't trust Spencer to get you anywhere safe." He said while shaking his head. I stared at him in shock and in awe. I, of course, knew what Spencer's intensions would've been. He was going to rape me. Spencer had drugged me and was going to rape me and Liam saved me.

"I'm really sorry if I did something wrong Anna." He said with a guilty look in his eye. I suddenly lurched out and took Liam into my arms.

"Liam... I..." Tears welled up into my eyes as he took me into his arms as well. We stayed liked this for a long time.

"Thank you. Thank you so so much Liam." I said into his shoulder. He pulled back from me and looked at me with a confused look.

"You are a gift from god Liam Payne." He looked at me still confused. That's when I knew I needed to tell him everything.

"C'mon, I'll explain everything." I said while taking his hand and leading him into his kitchen.
