Holding Me This Way n.h

Chapter 17

* Liz's p.o.v. *

"It all started when we were dating. And Ja-"

"Liam baby!!!" My mum squealed, bursting into the room, interrupting me.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"Liz! Hello honey." She smiled.

"Hi mum." I muttered.

"How are you Liam? Any better? Need medicine? Food? Water?" She questioned.

"I'm fine mum. I promise. Thank you though." Liam said calmly.

"Liz, what's wrong with you?" Mum asked.

"Nothing is wrong." I said trying to be convincing.

As soon as someone interrupts me, I get really upset.

"You're okay." Niall laughed, snaking an arm around my waist from behind.

"No. I'm really not." I mumbled, listening to the casual beeps of the meters standing around the white painted room.

"Good news!" My mum cheered. "Liam, the doctors think that you are well enough to get out of here. You just need to watch the bruises and cuts, that's all. I'm pretty sure you won't kill yourself."

"Nahh. I won't." Liam chuckled.

"Do you feel like you can be back on your feet?" Mum asked.

"Yeah I do. I just need to rest alittle bit more. Some pain meds would be nice too." Liam said sweetly.

"We'll get them for you love." My mum smiled.

She was apparently very excited about Liam getting to leave the hospital. I mean, who wouldn't be excited? She was making a huge deal out of it though. Which was getting more on my nerves by the second. She was literally trying to be a nurse right now. She interrupted me, so she was immediately on my bad side today.

"Lizzy, You can go to my house and set up for Liam." Mum said.

The other boys snickered at the nickname and I tried to ignore them. I took a deep breath.

"Why does Liam need to be set up for? What do I need to do? Put up a banner that says 'Welcome Home?!' or something?" I snapped.

"Liz!? What is your problem?!" My mum asked.

"Whatever. I'll go." I said, rolling my eyes.

I took Niall by the hand, dragging him outside and to my car.

"Who knew my sweet and innocent girlfriend could be so snappy?" Ni smirked, getting into the passenger seat. It felt weird to have me driving and him not.

"You think I'm sweet and innocent?!" I asked, throwing my phone to him to hold as I drived down the street.

"Most of the time. I know you can be vicious to James... and sometimes to Liam." He shrugged. I watched out of the corner of my eye as he messed around with my phone.

"Your lock screen is Luke!? Awwe. That's adorable. I have to tell him." He gushed.

"Wait. Aren't you supposed to be jealous. Because you are my boyfriend and all....." I said, raising an eyebrow. I think he was alittle bit messed up.

"I thought we were okay, Liz!" He frowned. "I wasn't jealous because I trusted you to not leave me for Luke."

"You can trust me, babe!" I smiled. He was being adorable. "Just think of Luke as a celebrity crush. I know I'll never get with him."
