The Tears Come Out

Lily's POV

When I got home I walked straight to the living room where Liam, Karen, and my dad were all sitting upon our furniture.

"Hey guys, what's the news?" I asked casually.

"Come sit down, hun." Karen spoke softly.

I sat down next to Liam who put his arm around me.

"I'm not gonna lie, you guys are kind of freaking me out right now."

My dad chuckled, "It's nothing bad, Lily."

"Okay... well get on with it then." I pushed.

Karen spoke up, "So obviously Jon and I have been having some issues lately..." She hesitated. "So we've decided to take a break from our work schedules and have planned to take a vacation together for the next few weeks." She smiled.

"Just you guys?" Liam asked rather rudely.

"Yes. We're going on a cruise to the Caribbean Islands." My father beamed.

A cruise? Wow, thanks for the invite.

"Well.. cool. Have fun." Liam said weirdly. What's his deal?

"We will." Karen said excitedly. "Oh and we leave tomorrow."

Liam started to get up when my dad spoke up once more. "Oh, and absolutely no parties. I know how you teenagers can be."

Liam and I nodded and both walked upstairs towards our rooms. I was about to enter mine when Liam pulled my arm and dragged me to his room instead.

"Where the fuck were you? I was worried sick, Lil!" He yelled at me.

"I was out with friends?" I didn't see what the problem was.

"Why didn't you tell me? And who were you with? Was it Harry again? God fucking damnit-"

"Liam quit it! What's your deal?"

"My deal is that you keep hanging out with that scum and I won't have it anymore!"

"First of all, I wasn't hanging out with Harry. I was with Niall and then we walked in his house and Harry was in there with-" I cut myself off.

Should I tell him about Ashley? I can't tell if he'd be pissed, upset or both.

"With who?" Liam urged.

When I didn't answer he yelled at me once again. "With who Lily?!"

"Ashley! Okay?! Harry was making out with Ashley in Niall's home and it was all so confusing!"

I couldn't help it. I lost it. I broke down and collapsed onto the floor, hugging my knees.

Everyone was pushing me too far, especially Liam right now.

Between Harry, my parents fighting, and all my other issues, Liam should be the one who understands.

But instead, he's adding on to the stress and making things ten times worse.

I sat on the floor crying my eyes out for about five minutes before I heard Liam punch the wall.

I looked up to see Liam pacing back and forth and a huge hole in the wall above his desk.

I've never seen Liam get violent with anything before, so this was new to me.

I saw that he was ready to punch the wall again so I quickly got up and stood in front of him.

"Move."

"No."

"God dammit Lily fucking move!"

"Nope. You're not punching the wall again."

He grabbed his hair in frustration and crouched down. I heard a small sob fall from his lips and my heart yearned for him.

I've never seen this emotional side of Liam.

I got on my knees and hugged him. He hugged back and finally let all the tears fall. He got my shirt wet from his tears but at that moment I couldn't care less.

I moved him to the bed and let him fall asleep in my arms. Before he fell asleep I heard him quietly whisper something.

"I'm sorry I let you down."

And I swear my heart broke in two.
