A Drop in the Ocean (Liam Payne)

Chapter 45

Annabelle's POV

.

"Oh my gosh, Annabelle." Liam said as he ran over to me.

"What happened?" He asked, in shock as he looked at my leg.

"Liam, look at me. You need to get out of here!" I said, grabbing his face with both of my hands and making sure he looked at me.

"Annabelle, I can't leave you. Are you crazy?"

"No, because Spencer wants to kill you more then he does me. Liam, please!" I said more hastily.

"Annabelle-" Just then we heard a pounding on the door.

"Liam! Please! Please, please leave!" I was crying now. I didn't even care about my own safety. All I wanted was Liam to get out and go some place far away.

"Annabelle. I can't leave you here."

"Liam please! He's going to be back any minute. I can't live without you. If he k-kills you..." I couldn't finish the sentence before leaning my head down and beginning to bawl.

"Hey, hey. I'm not leaving because I can't live without you again. I'm not letting you slip through my fingertips again." He said in a whispered. We suddenly heard clapping coming from the doorway of the living room.

"Well done, Well done." Spencer said, with a smile on his face. "How romantic!" I could see the devil look in his eye as he saw Liam in the room. "Now, I would say that your plan was very good Liam, but there's a window in my bathroom that you forgot about. If I were you I would sit right there." He said, pointing to the same wall I was sitting on. Liam slowly sat down next to me.

"S-Spencer?" I said as I slowly got up. Pain went up and down my body and the room began to spin. With every step I took to get over to him I winced in pain. "Please don't hurt him." I got down on my knees and pulled at the hem of his shirt. "Please don't hurt him. Hurt me!" I yelled as I began to cry. I stared up at him as he made his choice.

"For now." He said before he rammed is knee into my chin. I felt whiplash as my head was jammed upward. I fell over and laid on the ground.

"Hey! Don't you even hurt her again!" Liam yelled, standing up. His face was red and his hands were clenched into fists. I could see the anger in his eyes.

"Oh now British pants is getting testy. Annabelle, Would you like to tell Liam what happens when we get testy?" I slowly made my way over to Liam. I half crawled, half dragged my body over to him. Luckily he wasn't very far away.

"Liam. Please sit down." I said quietly. He slowly sat down, not taking his eyes off Spencer.

"Now, Liam. Annabelle wants herself dead instead of you and you want to be dead instead of her. Is that correct?"

"Yes."

"So you see my problem here. I could kill both of you or..." A grin suddenly formed on his face. I could see the demons racing around his head as his plan was made into the works.

"Annabelle, come over here please." I again half dragged, half crawled over to him. He grabbed a chair for me and graciously helped me up.

"Now we're going to play a little game. Liam, if you do anything and I mean anything I will blow the brains out of Annabelle. Annabelle, if you do anything I will blow the brains out of Liam. Are you ready?" I was not prepared for what came next. Spencer gathered up all his energy and socked me in the face. I gripped the side of my chair so I wouldn't fall off. I looked over at Liam. He had a look of horror on his face as he realized what Spencer's little "game" was. Why kill us when he could torture the ones we loved the most right in front of us?

"I love you, Annabelle." Liam mouthed to me as the next blow came. Tears formed in his eyes as the third one came. The fifth blow is finally what broke him.

"You just can't stop can you!" Liam said, standing up.

"Excuse me?"

"I said you just can't stop can you? Here you are beating your girlfriend until she more then likely will bleed to death! You shot her Spencer! You shot her! Have you even thought that maybe none of this would've even happened if you would've, I don't know, maybe lightened up! Seen that most of the things you blamed Annabelle for were your fault! Maybe you should open your eyes and see that you have one of the most beautiful girls in the world right in front of you! I will not stand this any longer! You hit her one more time and it will be the end of you!"

"The guy without the gun is challenging the guy with the gun. I thought British people were smarter then that."

"The unintelligent guy is saying that the intelligent guy isn't smart. I thought Americans were smarter then that." Liam said with a smirk on his face.

"Sit back down."

"Only if you don't hit her again."

"Fine." Spencer mumbled. I felt proud of Liam for getting him to stop. The room filled with silence before Spencer said,

"I'm gonna move Annabelle to the couch. I hope that's okay with you, Liam." Spencer said in a mocking tone. He lifted me up and moved me to the couch. He laid me down and stuffed the gun inside one if the couch cushion. He then climbed on top of me as I swallowed hard.

"You said I couldn't hit her, Liam. That was a poor choice of wording." He said while looking over at Liam and giving him a smirk. He then turned back to me and crashed his lips into mine. His breath tasted of alcohol. I screamed out in pain as he shifted all his body weight onto my right leg.

"Spencer!"

"What?"

"My. Leg." I said through gritted teeth. He just went on and kissed me again. He started moving his hands up my shirt. Suddenly I felt Spencer being lifted off of my body. I watched as Liam stood him up and grabbed the collar of his shirt and scream in his face,

"You think this is funny!? You think harassing the girl I love in front of me is funny!?" I could see the anger in his eyes as he punched Spencer across the face. He punched him for a second time, then a third, fourth, fifth, and finally a sixth time. Spencer laid on the floor, bleeding, as Liam screamed with tears in his eyes,

"I hate you Spencer Jones! I hate you for hurting Annabelle!" Spencer slowly got up and suddenly lunged towards the couch.

'The gun.' I thought suddenly. I lunged forward as well. We both had our hands on the gun.

"Let go, Annabelle!" He screamed at me.

"No!" I yelled. Liam came over and picked Spencer up. He wouldn't let go of the gun. The barrel was pointed at me as we struggled. All he had to do was pull the trigger and i'd be gone. With one swift movement he quickly grabbed the gun out of my hands and pointed it at Liam and fired, causing them both to fall to the ground.

"Liam!" I screamed as they both laid there, motionless.
