Electric • L.Gallagher

The rain drenched me as I quickly walked home, I hadn't been in school since last week, already half way through the week my mum was beginning to worry, but I couldn't face them, I couldn't face him. I walked in silence, another person walking closely beside me, also in silence, until finally he broke it.

"Em, you gotta start helping yourself. You can't just keep hiding." Damon said and I sighed and shook my head. Damon and I had met at the party my mum had went to the night of Tony's party, we had bonded over the old guy at the table who drank to much whiskey and sang some weird songs.

"I don't wanna see him Dam, I mean I loved that guy, and I thought he loved me." I muttered and Damon stopped me in the middle of the street, he turned to me to face him and I sighed.

"Em, I hate the guy and he hates me, but I've only known you for about 4 days and you've spent every single one of those days crying, you gotta talk to him or something." Damon said as he brought me into a hug, having to talk to him came sooner than later though.

"Oi wanker!" A familiar voice yelled from behind me an I heard Damon groan and pull away.

"I guess I'll leave you to it, phone me will you?" He said and made me look at him, I nodded with a smile and he pressed a kiss to my forehead before walking off.

"Em?" Liam asked softly and I turned to him.

"First time I've seen you or spoke to you in days and the only thing you could say was 'oi wanker' nice." I said with a nod as I stuffed my hands in my pockets.

"I didn't realise it was you, I thought it was that cunt and some bird." Liam said and I just sighed and shook my head, finally looked up at him with a strained expression.

"What do you want?" I asked and he went to move towards me but I backed away.

"Listen, I'm sorry Em. It was a one time mistake, it meant absolutely nothing. Fuck, I know I've fucked it, but I can't deal with you not talking to me." Liam said gently and I I closed my eyes.

"Noel texted me only hours before, telling me you were shouting about how much you loved me, then Guigs sent me that fucking video and I didn't know what to think." I said and Liam looked at me desperately.

"I love you, Em. What do you want me to do? Shout it? Get on my knees and beg?" I was about to speak when he dropped to his knees, I cringed at how that must of hurt his knees and tried to conceal my smirk as he grabbed my wait and stared up at me. "I fucking luv ya Emily!" He yelled and I noticed some of our peers stop and watch as Liam pleaded with me. I rolled my eyes and pulled him up.

"Let's go to yours you idiot." I said and he just laughed. We walked to Liam's and I opened the door first, I smiled widely when greeted by Peggy.

"Hey Pegs, how are you doing?" I asked as I hugged the woman and she smiled in delight.

"I'm better now that you're all finally talking again, I missed having you around the house love." She said and I just smiled. Liam and I kicked off our shoes and made our way up to his room.

"Noel's out with Guigs and Tony." Liam said as he sat on his bed, he looked at me for a long while.

"If we want this to work, Li. We gotta figure something out, you can't just be getting drunk at parties and getting with other girls, that's not how it works." I said as I walked over to him, standing in between his legs. He rested his head on my stomach and I ran my fingers through his hair.

"I promise, hand on fucking heart, it'll never happen again." He said and I just and kissed the top of his head.

"I'm believing you, Rkid. You fuck this up, you'll have to deal with Noel." I said and he just nodded, I pulled away and he pulled me into his lap, we made our for a while until a voice called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Liam! Meeting!" Noel's voice travelled up stairs and I smirked, I climbed off of his lap and pressed a kiss to his forehead. He wrapped his arms around my waist as we struggled to get down stairs.

"Em!" The lads all cheered and I laughed, Liam let go of me as I hugged all of the lads, happy to see them.

"So are you two finally back together?" Guigs asked and Liam threw his arm around my shoulder.

"She can't stay long at me for long." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm just happy your back, Em. It's been weird not having you around." Bonehead said with a sad smile and I just smiled at him.

"I've missed talking to you guys, it's been weird not having you in my daily life." I said and Liam squeezed my shoulder.

"Well at least your back and Liam's happy, that's all that matters." Tony nodded and so did the rest of the band, I looked at Noel who wore a confused expression.

"Does this mean no more Alborn?" Noel asked and I shook my head with a laugh.

"I know you hate the guy lads, but he' really did help me this week. I'll keep him around for me, you guys don't have to see him." I said and Liam grunted.

"Keep that wee fucker, away far away from me." Liam said finally letting go of me and walking further into the living room, flopping back on the couch. I moved so I was closed to the guys and Noel Just pressed a kiss to my temple.

"I'm just glad to have you back, Milly." Noel said in a teasing tone and I turned to him with a glare in my eye.

"I hate you." I whispered threateningly and he just chuckled.
