Chapter 20: Swimming to me is like singing to you

Liam’s P.O.V

The drive home was silent and awkward, things were never awkward between Emma and I. I frowned at the thought.

I pulled into the driveway and turned off the car. Both of us just sat there. Not moving. Not talking. Emma’s lips parted as if she were to say something, but nothing came out.

After taking a couple of breaths and cooling myself down, I was no longer mad. I was hurt and worried, but not mad. Another silent minute passed, neither of us knew what to say or do. So I decided to start us off.

“Why?” I asked just above a whisper. Letting the hurt show through my voice. Her head snapped in my direction, shocked that I had spoken.

“Wha-”

“Why did you do it?”

“Liam I-“

“Why did you go behind my back? Lie to me? Do you know how bad that could have ended if I hadn’t brought your inhaler?”

“Liam, you don’t understand I-“

“Your right! I don’t understand! Care to enlighten me!?!” I almost yelled, interrupting her once again.

“I couldn’t take it anymore!” She yelled back. “I couldn’t take it anymore…” this time she almost whimpered it. Looking me in the eyes, hers filled up with tears.

“We all have our struggles Emma! Doesn’t mean we go and do something incredibly stupid! What you were doing was extremely dangerous!”

“I was taking it slow.” She said firmly crossing her arms against her chest with a pout on her face. It took everything inside of me not to let her win this. I needed to stay strong. For her sake and for mine I couldn’t let her get away with this. I composed myself and carried on with our conversation. Well more like fight.. we had never fought like this before…

“Emma! That’s not the point!”

“Then what is!?!”

“You can’t do things like that! What if I had lost you!?! What then!?!”

She stayed silent, unsure of what to say or how to respond. I’m sure the boys can here our yelling from inside the house even though we were still in my turned off car.

“How cold you lie to me?” I asked quieter, no longer yelling.

“Liam, I didn’t lie to you.”

“Yes, you did.” I paused to take a breath. “I thought what I had said to you actually meant something. That you had listened to me and became happy again… It was just the stupid swimming.”

“I did Li..” She said reaching for my hand, I pulled it back and put my hands in my lap. Her face covered in hurt.

“I did listen to you, and I wanted to be happy again, for you.”

“Why didn’t you just tell me?” I asked

“I-I knew you wouldn’t let me.”

“Well no duh!”

“Swimming’s not stupid.” She said firmly, just registering what I had said a little bit earlier.

“Yes! It is! Do you see all the crap it has caused!” I looked at her to see her face in utter shock. The tears that she had resisted earlier were now streaming down her face. Maybe I went to far…

“Swimming to me is like singing to you.”  And with that she got out of the car, slammed the car door and ran into the house crying. I sighed, running my hands through my hair, before getting out of the car and walking into the house with my shoulders slouching and my head hung low.

Niall’s P.O.V. (Him and the boys are at Emma’s)

I woke up when I heard a car pull into the drive way. I was about to go back to sleep until I heard people yelling from outside.

“Harry!” I whisper-yelled. He just stirred in his sleep. I picked up the pillow that my head used to be resting on and threw it at the sleeping lump.

“Haz!”

“Ow! What!?”

“Do you hear that?”

“Hear what Niall? If it’s your stomach grumbling because your hungry then go make your own food.” He replied grumbly, sitting up from his sleeping spot.

“Hey!” I was about to pout and say something sassy back when I heard the yelling again. It appeared to be Harry did too because he perked up a bit.

“That. Do you hear that??”

“Yeah? I do. What is it?”

“I think its people yelling..”

Harry looked at me with concern before telling me to wake up Zayn and Louis so we could go investigate. After I did as he said we all walked up the stairs, quietly, and attempted to find out where the yelling was coming from.

We followed the noise until we hit the front door. We all gave each other strange looks before opening the door and looking outside. Shocked at what was in front of us we closed the door and then once again exchanged looks, but this time of worry. I mean it looked pretty serious.. I had never seen them fight before. We pulled away just in time to see the door open and a crying Emma fly through it and run downstairs before any of us could utter a word. Soon afterwards a depressed looking Liam came walking towards us, shoulders slouched and head looking at the ground.

“Liam?” I asked softly as he approached the boys and I. He looked up at us and just shook his head. The pain evident in his eyes and face. Knowing not to say anything we just walked up to him and gave him a big group hug, letting him know that we are here for him.
