Lies

Liam's POV

My footsteps feel heavy as I walk up the stairs. I think I need to have a conversation with Sophia, her behavior towards Stella was just unacceptable.

"So are you going to tell him or not?" I hear Perrie say. I stop, I didn't know they were still talking. "Perrie,  mind your own business. I'm not losing Liam. He's the best thing to happen to me," Sophia tells her sharply. What does she need to tell me about and why would she lose me? Perrie groans in frustration, "if you don't tell him he will find out. And it'll be worse. Im not telling him because its none of my business, but he will find out. He deserves to know." I hear their footsteps go back to the table. 

I walk up back to our table, "Liam! where's your friend?" Sophia asks innocently. I scowl at her and just sit back at the table in silence. "Let's finish our meal and get the tab so that we can go back to the hotel," I mumble. Everyone just looks around quietly and finishes up their meal. Louis looks annoyed and drunkenly remarks, "if no one is going to say it then I will, Sophia, what the hell are you doing here? We liked you at first, tolerated you after the first breakup, and now, well, it's the second breakup and frankly we don't like you anymore. So why show up?" Eleanor jabs at Louis and gives him a look. Louis looks at her and keeps going, "what? it's true! Everyone's thinking it.Why do you think you can waltz back into his life like that? Do you know what you did? AND, AND, we had a perfectly nice girl for him right in front of us and you had to go be a bitch!" Everyone gasps and Eleanor takes his drink and Niall stands up to pick up Louis "alright, that's enough for you, you drunk bastard" Niall tells him as he hoists him up to walk him out. Eleanor apologizes for Louis, "I'm so sorry guys, he's just drunk, we're heading back now." We wave them off, and all that's left is Zayn, Perrie, Sophia and me. Sophia looks at me indignantly, "I can't believe you just him talk to me like that! Doesn't matter, we don't have to see them again until tomorrow, let's go back to the hotel to keep catching up," she says as she snuggles her head in my neck.

I shrug her off, "Sophia, what do you need to tell me?" I ask her bluntly. She feigns ignorance, "what do you mean  love? That I love you?" she smiles. Zayn and Perrie look completely irritated, I don't understand why they won't just leave, Perrie already said she wasn't going to say anything. I shake my head, "I heard you talking to Perrie going up the stairs, she said that you needed to tell me something and you said you weren't going to. What. Happened?" I push forward, despite my frustrations bubbling underneath. 

She shoots a glare at Perrie and Perrie just looks at her back expectantly. Sophia sighs and takes my hand, "does it really matter love? All that matters is us and now no?"

"Oh christ mate, she's been playing you like a fiddle!!" Zayn yells as he slams his hands on the table. I look at Sophia, "what is he talking about?" Sophia looks scared, "I dont know Liam, he's just mad!" Zayn looks at me, "Perrie saw her while she was on tour hanging out with one of the MARRIED producers from Sony. She confronted her and found out that whenever you two break up, its so that she can be with that guy for a few months, and once he's done with her she comes back to you." I feel as if someone broke a plate on my head and my vision starts shaking. Sophia....married man....producer.....

"Liam I just broke up with you so that I wouldn't cheat on you! I just....I just like to see him sometimes but my heart really belongs to you!" She tells me. I look at her in disgust, "are you fucking kidding me with this? Are you that fucking stupid? Do you think me to be a bloody moron? I'm sure you must if you think this is ok!" I get up and start to walk away, Sophia calls out to me, "Liam! Why are you mad I told you the truth and I didn't cheat on you! What else do you want??"

I turn to her, I couldn't stomach looking at her right now but I'm so angry and hurt that I just need to yell at her one last time, "I can't believe you! I loved you and you lied to me, you never loved me! If you did I would be the ONLY man for you! FUCK YOU! WE ARE THROUGH! I don't want to see you near me ever again! Go home however you came. You can get your own room and your own ride back to the hotel." And I leave. I hear her crying as I walk away. Her tears are normally enough to bring me back, but not today. I'm done playing her games.

I am free.
