The Inevitable (sequel of Haunting Memories)

Prologue

Alright. Here is the prologue for the sequel of Haunting Memories! Sorry for the sadness... But yeah. Sadness can be good. SO This story is about Liam. Yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense unless you read Haunting Memories first, but if you don't want to , I'll summarize what happened.

Arianna Scotts is an American who was abused by hher boyfriend and moves in with Harry and Louis and becomes Niall's girlfriend.

Maddy was Liam's girlfriend and they loved each other A LOT but then she got cancer and died.

Danielle is Arianna's friend who she wants to set up with Liam.

Liam is really depressed.

That's it. That's all you really need to know.

SO. This story will take the spot of Haunting Memories in my schedule, meaning it will be uploaded (hopefully) every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Also, sorry for the short prologue, but I really wanted to do that scene and just that scene and I had no idea to make it longer so... Yeah.

LASTLY, I dedicated this to vicky_toria for fanning me. You guys know that I love me fans.

Stay lucky my unlucky fudgekins. AND I just totally contreadicted myself, because idk if you are lucky or unlucky. Pick one. <3

Gosh that was long. ANYWAYS, here's the PROLOGUE now. Not Chapter 1. Prologue.

Liam’s POV

Arianna sat next to me on the sofa, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Suddenly, my phone rang and I checked the Caller ID. Unknown Number. Nervously, I answered it.

“Is this Liam Payne?” a voice devoid of any emotion asked.

“Yeah, this is Liam,” I replied.

“We called to inform you that your girlfriend, Madison Amherst, died earlier today.” I felt my whole world come crashing down.

“W-What?” I stammered, not knowing what else to say. I expected this, and she actually lived a half week longer than expected, but I just couldn’t take this. I loved her so much. So fucking much.

“She passed away. Her funeral will be in two days.”

“Okay,” I whispered.

“Alright then. Goodbye, Mr. Payne.”

“Bye.”

The phone slipped from my hands and I stared off into space. Her death was inevitable, but… Unexpected at the same time. If that was possible.

“Liam, are you okay?” Arianna gently nudged me, and I remembered she was still here.

“She’s gone,” I muttered, a few tears slipping easily down my cheeks. Arianna grabbed my hand.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled, her eyes filling with tears as well.

“Can you just leave me alone?” I asked, and she nodded. The moment she closed the door, I knew what I was going to do. Without a second thought, I roughly pushed the glass door to the balcony open, and slammed it shut again.

I looked over the railing. The drop was four stories. High enough to kill someone if they fell.

I began to hum Moments. It was one of my favorite songs, Ed Sheeran was a genius songwriter. Once, just once, I pictured Maddy in my head. She was beautiful. She was perfect.

I looked down onto the ground again. Below was the concrete sidewalk, alongside a street. It looked painful. But any pain was better than the present one in my chest.

It felt like my heart was broken in half, stepped on, shattered, and then the pieces were set on fire. Nothing could describe it accurately really.

“I love you Maddy,” I whispered into the air. I never finished humming the song. Oh well.

“Liam!” I heard Arianna scream. Shit. She was coming. Now or never. I hauled myself onto the bright red railing.

“LIAM!” I heard again. One of my legs was dangling over the edge and I was about to place the other one over the edge, too, but something roughly pulled me back.

“Liam, what the hell are you doing?” Arianna screamed at me. I didn’t say a word. In my mind, I wanted to yell at her for not letting me fall. I wanted to fall. I wanted to die.

She dragged me inside, to the couch and sat me down.

“Maddy was our friend too… Do you think we could live with losing two amazing friends? Killing yourself would do nothing but deeply worsen our lives. And you know how many of your fans would go and do something stupid for you? Because you did?” Arianna lectured, and I cringed.

It was true. Wanting to kill myself was selfish, but I wanted it nonetheless. But Arianna might’ve talked to Maddy a couple of days, she might’ve became her friend, but she hadn’t known her for as long as I did. She didn’t love her so much it hurt. She wasn’t her boyfriend. Therefore she had no idea how I felt.

But it was kind of true. Now that I thought about it, killing myself would put the band in a horrible position, and the lads and Ari would get even more upset. Coping with two deaths in one day would be very, very difficult. They’d be a mess.

“What’s going on?” Niall suddenly appeared at the doorway. My eyes widened and I begged Arianna with my eyes not to mention anything that just happened. If Niall found out, if any of the boys found out, the results could be disastrous.

“I was telling him to not… go into depression,” Arianna lied, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oh,” Niall believed the lie, which was also great, but I hated lying to him. He was my best mate after all.

“Um… Niall, Liam, let’s go eat something in Haz and Lou’s,” Arianna muttered in a strained voice, standing up. Niall happily began to walk back to their flat, but I lagged behind. I tugged gently on Ari’s shirt, signaling for her to turn around.

“Don’t tell them, okay?” I quietly hissed, knowing she would know what I was referring to.

“I kind of got that… Which I why I lied to Niall for you,” she shot back in a sharp voice. I flinched.

“Thanks,” I whispered, but it was lost as she turned around and headed out of my flat. I followed her after a tiny bit of hesitation.

I didn’t want to eat. All I wanted to do was lie in bed all day and cry over Maddy, blocking out the rest of the world. I wanted to curl up into a ball and just die.

Did I really want to die? A part of me did, but a part of me also didn’t. I felt so conflicted. All I knew was that I really, really wanted Maddy back. I wanted her with me so bad that it hurt.

------------------------------

GAH WASN'T THAT SAD? I almsot cried when I was writing this. IT WAS DEPRESSING. Yeah, I know some people will say I'm cruel for making Liam so sad, but things'll get better for him. Eventually. In a while.

SO I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!
