Broken Heart (1D Fanfic)

Chapter 11

Liam's P.O.V

5 minutes after I walked into the suite, I heard the room key click and in walked Arielle.

"Hey. Sorry I'm a little late. I ran into somebody." she said, but she looked kind of nervous.

"No worries. I just walked in myself. Who'd you run into?" I asked.

"Can we sit down?" she asked.

"Of course." I said, leading her to the couch.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened today. I fought back harder than I needed to and-" I started.

        "It's fine. It wasn't your fault. Niall was being a jerk. But speaking of Niall, that's who I ran into today, and I actually let him talk to me." she said.

        Was she breaking up with me? Was she really going back to Niall? I felt like my heart fell into my stomach, and I guess it showed on my face, because she put her hand on my shoulder and started reassuring me.

        "I'm not getting back with him. I just listened to him try to apologize, but he wan't good at it. He told me he cheated because he was alone and missed me, but I told him that that doesn't make me feel wanted." she said.

I nodded.

"I said I would try to forgive him, but only as a friend, and that was only if he could accept that we were together." 

I smile grew on my face and I hugged her.

"One more thing, Li." she said into my arm and pulled away.

"Yes?" I questioned.

"I said I would go out for a drink with him as friends." she said nervously.

I thought for a moment. I can't stop her from going, I'm not her parent. I just nodded.

"Is it really okay with you?" she asked, her eyes sad.

"I trust you." I said with a grin.

     And that was true. I didn't doubt that she loved me. It's Niall I didn't trust. I knew his intentions. I just hoped he won't get her too drunk.

She hugged me and we stayed in that embrace for a while.

"I love you." I whispered in her ear.

She looked up at me.

"I love you too." she said back and kissed me.

We pulled apart when we heard the door open. Harry was standing in the doorway.

     "Whoa. Don't mind me. You guys are together now? I knew Niall got in a fight with you, but I thought that was just because you liked her and you were too scared to tell her." he said.

"Shut it Harold." I said, blushing a little.

     "Well, that's good news for me because I have a brunch date tomorrow with a girl I met a few nights ago, and she would only go with me if it was a group date." he said.

"You really waited until the last second to ask someone to go?" I asked.

     "I was going to ask Louis and Eleanor, but people would jump to the conclusion of her and the girl I'm going with of being 'cover-up' girls, because I'm obviously gay and Louis is my boyfriend." he said sarcastically."I was going to ask Zayn and Perrie tonight, but I feel that you guys would be a better choice since all they want is to be alone during the day so they can spend every moment together while Little Mix is on a break from tour." 

I looked at Arielle for an 'okay'. She nodded.

"Alright, we'll go." I agreed.

"What's her name?" Ari asked.

"Oh right, sorry, it's Candy." he said.

Arielle nodded and turned back around to look at the TV.

"Alright, I guess I'll leave you two alone. Brunch is at noon." he said, then left the room.

     Ari and I watched a movie, which I couldn't focus on. I couldn't help but keep looking at her. She is so beautiful.

      She yawned and leaned on me. I was about to ask her if she wanted to go to bed, when I heard a little snore escape her lips. She was so cute I didn't want to wake her up.

I picked her up bridal-style and was about to carry her to bed when the door swung open.

"Hey Liam." Louis said loudly.

That made Arielle jerk awake and almost fall out of my arms.

"Louis!" I whisper-screamed.

"What's uh, going on here?" he asked suspiciously.

"She's tired." I said.

    "Are you guys together? I knew you and Niall got into a fight, but I thought you just liked her and was too scared-" he started

"Harry already said this." I cut him off. "And would you please stop yelling? It's freaking midnight! Why are you here anyway?"

    "Niall won't shut up about how hungry he is and we are pretty much out of food, so I came to steal some of yours." he said casually. 

"Whatever. We're going to bed." I said, beginning to turn away.

Louis started to open his mouth to talk, but I cut him off.

"Shut up Louis." I said sternly.

     He raised his hands in surrender and turned to the fridge. I turned and walked down the hallway, placing Arielle on her bed. When I turned to walk away, I heard her soft voice.

"Stay with me, please?" 

         I turned back around and laid next to her. She scooted close to me and I embraced her. She was so beautiful and gentle. How could Niall ever even risk letting her go? At least now I can be the one to love her, and I cannot say how grateful I am for that.

Arielle's P.O.V

    I awoke to Liam's beautiful, peaceful face. I couldn't help but smile to myself. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him. I guess everything happens for a reason, and I believe that I had my heart severely broken so it can be healed by him.

His eyes lazily opened.

"What are you looking at?" he teased.

"You." I said, grinning,

He pulled me closer for what I thought was going to be a hug, but instead he started tickling me.

"Stop it!" I laughed.

"Not until you say 'Liam is the best and I love him sooooooo much.'" he said.

"Liam... Liam is the best and I... I love him.. soooooooo much." I repeated him between giggles.

He stopped and smiled at me.

"I love you too. Soooooo much." he laughed.

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

A few hours later we had brunch at a diner with Harry and Candy. Not much happened, but Candy was very nice, and I'm pretty sure I had just made a new friend. She said she was 19 and that she met Harry backstage after a concert.

"What night did you get backstage passes for?" I asked trying to hide my concern.

 "Just last night." she said. Good. She wasn't one of the girls that beat me up. I didn't think she was, but you never know.

We left at around one and headed back to the suite.

Now, time to mentally prepare myself for tonight.
