I stared down at my lap as we all sat awkwardly around the fire. "Kelsey, can I talk to you in private?" I gulped but nodded anyway, following him. The first thing he did was wrap his arms around me. "Do you really think I don't want to get better? I do. I want to be better for you. I want to get better for everybody. I really do care. I know I'm fucked up. I get that. I want to be better, so much better. And you were helping. I hadn't been that happy since before Safaa passed." I sighed, holding him back. "I just want you to stop getting so angry..." "I know baby. I'm sorry. I'll try to be better okay?" I nodded. "I trust you but if you mess up again...I don't know if I'll be able to do it Zayn." "I swear I won't. I'll be good for you." I leaned up and pressed my lips to his softly. "Thank you...Thank you for giving me another chance." I hummed into his chest.

"Liam! I'm home!!" He ran down the steps and pulled m into his chest, tightly. He was breathing heavy. Too heavy. "Li, what's wrong?" "Nothing." He was crying. I pulled away and looked up at him, wiping away his tears with my thumb. "What happened? What's wrong?" "She...She broke u-up with me." "That bitch!! Why would she do that?! She doesn't even realize what she lost, I'll tell you that!" "You think so?" He sniffed. "I know so Li. She lost the best thing to ever happen to her. Do you wanna talk about it Liam?" He nodded carefully. I sat down on the couch and patted the space next to me. He sat down, pulling me closer to him. "She...She said she didn't love me anymore and we weren't gonna work out a-anyway and...I miss her." "I know Li. I know it'll be hard but it'll be over before you know it. I know you loved her but you'll be able to move on okay?" He nodded slightly, looking at me with a small smile. "What are you thinking about? What made you happy?" "You." I smiled wide and hugged him tightly. "I'm glad to make you happy." He laughed a little. "You always do. You always make me feel better. Thank you babe." "You're welcome Li." I pulled and looked at him with a small smile. We both leaned in. Our lips connected but I felt nothing. We both pulled away, shocked. "Shit." "We can't tell Zayn." We said at the same time. I started picking at my nails. "What if he finds out?" "He can't. Right? There's no way he'll find out." I nodded, assuring myself. "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry too." I ran my fingers through my hair. "Shit. I'm so fucked if be finds out." "He won't though so it's okay. Alright?" I nodded. "I'm...I'm going to lay down for a bit." "Yeah...You do that." He pressed a kiss on top of my head and went upstairs. I laid my head back on the couch.

I have to tell him. I have to. No. No I don't. Yes I do. He's my boyfriend. I ran up the stairs to Liam's room. "Li? Can I come in?" "Yeah of course babe." I opened the door and walked in to see him raised up on his bed, blanket covering his lower region and his bare chest showing. "I need to tell him." "Kelsey! We just agreed to not tell him! You were afraid he'd find out!" "I feel bad though and I will until I tell him." He sighed, running his hand through his hair. "Fine. Fuck. Come here real quick." I scuffed over and sat on the side of his bed. His arms wrapped around me in a comforting hug. "If he gets mad, you come to me okay?" "You're not gonna tell him with me?" "I didn't think you wanted me to." "Please? Will you?" "Yeah. Of course. Call him and invite him over." I nodded and called him quickly.

"Hey baby." His rough voice came through the phone.

"Can you come over? We need to talk to you..."

"'We?'"

"Yeah...Me and Liam."

"Alright. I'll be there in a minute...I'm out anyway."

"Alright. Thanks babe."

"Mhmm."

I hung up and glanced at Liam nervously. "It'll be okay. Alright?"

A knock was heard on the door downstairs. I jumped up and ran down the steps. I opened the door and he looked down at me with a smile. "Hey babe." "Hey..." "What's wrong?" "Err...Let's go sit down." He gave a confused look but followed me inside. I sat on the couch beside Liam. Probably best if they didn't sit beside each other. "So what's going on? Why do you look guilty?" He asked, shifting uncomfortably. "We kissed each other."

Then, the unbelievable happened.

He laughed. He laughed hard. "You're kidding me right?" He exclaimed, still laughing. We didn't say anything. "Baby...You...You didn't. You wouldn't." He looked at Liam. "And you have a girlfriend." "We broke up." His face tightened. "Why'd you kiss? Why would you do that to me?!" "Zayn I swear, neither of us meant anything by it. It just kinda happened. I swear babe." He buried his face in his hands, his elbows on his knees. "Baby...Please look at me." "I can't..." "Zayn please. I didn't mean to." "Yeah mate, it didn't mean anything. Doesn't it mean something that she told you?" "I guess but I can't believe it...I can't do this now." He said, shaking his head and standing up. "Zayn, no please." "I need to think about this." He mumbled, wiping away tears and walking out the door.
