Chapter 15

A/N
Hi guys I just wanted to let you guys know this chapter is a little bit darker and it won't always be like this. I just wanted to give some insight to Alia's background. I hope you guys are enjoying though! :)

The next morning I woke up with a bunch of missed texts and calls from my dad. None of them seemed to be angry anymore but mostly him apologizing and worried about where I was. I texted him back and told him I was going to be staying with Liv for a few days. It was a big risk to say that because I didn't know if he would let me or if he would come looking for me. But luckily he understood. I still was so upset from last night. Seeing my dads face pop up on my phone made me angry.

I don't think Liz intended on Luke staying with me through the night but after we made the bed last night we watched a movie and ended up falling asleep together. Although when I woke up this morning I turned over and Luke wasn't there. I looked around confused and decided to go into his kitchen to see if he was in there. To which I found him making a whole buffet of food.

"What is this? This looks so good." I say grabbing some pancakes and shoving them in my mouth.

He chuckles and puts some bacon on my plate. "I just wanted to do this for you." He says with a smile.

After a few minutes of eating Luke and I start to get ready for school. Luckily it was a Friday and I didn't have much to do today in any of my classes. And now that I was away from my dad I could look forward to the boys concert this weekend.

I went down the hall and into the bathroom to take a shower. I decided to not even bother trying to look cute today because I was so tired and lazy. So instead I put on some black leggings, my favorite light blue Miami sweatshirt, and my black vans. I took my long purple hair and threw it up in a bun, because there wasn't much else I could do with it. I walked out of the bathroom to see Luke grabbing his bag. He didn't seem to care about gussying himself up either because his hair was still a mess. But somehow it made him look even more amazing.

"What?" He says running his hands through his hair.

"Nothing, you just look cute." I reply resting my arms on his shoulders.

He leans down and kisses me. "You ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's just get this day over with."

We pulled up to the school to see all of our friends standing by Michael's car, except today he had a girl with pastel pink hair around his arm. When Liv saw us she came running up to me. I hadn't told her about what happened the other night, but from the way she approached me I assumed Luke did.

"I heard about what happened." She says in a low voice.

"Yeah, look Liv I don't really want to talk about it."

"That's okay, we don't have too." A weak smile appears across her lips.

Everyone greets us when we walk over to the rest of our friends. Everyone except Ashton. I guess Ashton got the hint that Luke and I were together, because when he saw us walk over hand and hand he walked away. "I'll go talk to him." Calum said running towards Ashton. Thinking about the whole  situation between Ashton and Luke wasn't exactly one of the top things on my mind anymore, so I wasn't surprised I forgot to mention it.

"He'll be okay Al, I don't think that's the important thing to worry about right now." Michael says.

I rested my head on Luke's shoulder and let out a loud sigh. "I know, I just wish this wasn't happening right now."

Luke leans his head on top of mine. "Hey, it's okay. We're all here for you and with you. Let's try to just enjoy the weekend."

For the rest of the day I tried to smile and enjoy the day. Trying to forget about everything that has happened in the past not even two days. Although, it was nearly impossible. I did get to meet Michael's new girlfriend, Crystal. Liv and I became friends with her pretty fast, she was super sweet and funny. She actually helped get my mind off a lot of things, as did everyone else.

Instead of going back to Luke's place after school tonight I figured I would go over to Liv's for a little bit. I know she really did want to know what was going on and she wanted to be there for me. I didn't want to push her away. I've done that with people in the past and it never got me anywhere good.

When we got to her house I explained to her everything that happened that night.

"Has your dad done things like this before? Does he ever do it to your sister?" She asks lying next to me on her bed.

"He's never hit us before or anything. Neither of my parents did. It just scared me because it brought back so many memories." I say quietly.

"What memories?"

"Well, you know how my mom isn't around.. She never touched my sister and I but she never cared for us either." A tear begins to roll down my cheek. "She just used to scream at us all the time. It was mostly me, but sometimes she would do it to my sister too. She would just tell us how worthless we were. That's why it scared me so much when my dad yelled at me, and then for him to hit me I just.." My voice cracked on my last words. I started crying and Liv sat up and pulled me next to her, wrapping her arms around me. I just began to cry in her arms.

"Liv, it just hurts so much." I say sobbing into her shoulder.

"I know hun, I'm so sorry." Her voice cracks as she strokes my back, she was crying now too. She pulls me away from her shoulders. "Hey listen, we're going to get you through this. Don't think about going home right now, or school, or anything that could possibly stress you out right now. Let's just stay in the moment okay? What do you want right now and we'll make it happen? Do you want Luke, me, your sister, any of the boys? Whatever and whoever you want we'll get it." She gives a smile while a tear falls from her eye.

The only thing I really wanted was to burn every memory of my parents from my brain. I loved them, whether they were here with me or not, but I didn't want to only remember the bad parts of them. But sometimes, I felt like that's all I had.

I wiped the tears from under my eyes and tried to control my crying. "I don't know what I want. I feel like the boys should get some rest because of their gig tomorrow, they're not gonna wanna do anything. I just want to be with all our friends right now." My sobs now become harder to control.

Liv smiles a wide mischievous smile . "Hey, I have an idea."
