Dark Flame - (Liam Payne AU)

Ch. 23

Liam POV:

Liam,

I don't know what I did wrong, but for the first time since we've known eachother, I was truly scared of you. I don't even know if this is the right decision, but I'm leaving. I am so sorry about giving you sleeping pills, but there was no other way. Please don't try to find me. I don't want to be found. You're all I ever wanted, but nothing I'll ever need. Liam, please stay safe. It's a wild world out there.

I love you,

Juliet

I stared at the piece of paper, fighting back the tears that were trying to form. She had left me. She really left me. I crumbled the piece of paper in my hand. I had to find her, but I felt like this time she was gone for good.. In the other hand, I held the necklace I gave her. I squeezed it tight and felt a tear fall. I had really fucked up.

I got up and made my way out to my car. I was going to find her, even if it killed me.

Juliet POV:

It had been a few weeks, and waking up at Max and Mary's was beginning to make me happy. I felt so comfortable and content, but I missed waking up next to Liam. I pet Rudy on his sleepigng head, and then reached for my phone.  I wanted to text Liam so very badly, but I had to stop myself. I set the phone down and began to cry.

"Jules? You okay?" Mary asked, walking in. She saw me crying and then ran and hugged me. 

"I miss him, Mary." I cried.

"I know sweetie, but what you did is for the best. I promise." She smiled. "You wanna go to church?"

I nodded and then started to get ready. I hadn't been to church in almost a month, so I hoped Liam wouldn't look for me there. 

After the service, we went back to Mary's house. They wanted to go out, so I let them go. I told them that I felt sick, which I did. 

I laid in the bath tub for a while and then I laid in my room in the dark. I finally felt the need to puke, so I ran to the bathroom as best as I could. The more I tried to hold it in, the more came out.

I spent about 20 minutes like that, then I had to brush my teeth. I never got sick.. I wondered what was wrong? I hadn't been drinking and I didn't eat anything weir- Oh. 

No, no, no. This could not be happening. I thought of all the other possiblities, and none of them seemed to add up. 

I called Mary, panicking.

"Hello?" She answered right away.

"Mary," I cried.

"What dear, are you okay?"

"No, I don't think so.."

"Calm down a second...what happened?"

"Mary, can you get something for me from the store?"

"Like pads or tampons or...oh no.." her voice got quiet.

"Yeah.."

"We will be there as soon as possible." She said, then hung up the phone.

I put my knees to my chest and began to cry. If Liam hadn't found me yet, then he never would. He probably hated me, and I didn't blame him. I mean, I did drug him and then leave him without a warning at all. 

I missed him.

A lot.

And I needed him now more than ever.
