Change (Published under The Change For Her)

Twenty-One

In the first half of this chapter, I couldn't help but feel that 'I Will Be' By Avril Lavigne fits it so well. Let me know if you agree.

It seems like we were sitting in this situation for a few hours. In my room, listening to the music that I have on my playlist for my dad. Still on Liam's lap with his arms around me. My eyes still shut while my head resting on his chest.

I feel Liam moves around from underneath me, "Babe, I know you're comfortable but I'm starting to lose feeling in my legs." That's the second time he has called me that since we have been on this trip.

The first time he called me 'babe' was when we were at Mcdonalds. I didn't comment on it because I figured he called me it to get that girl off his back. So why did he call me babe again just now? Should I correct him? But the real question is, why does part of me get all warm and fuzzy inside when he calls me it?

"Chlo," He said while rubbing my arm.

"Hm." I tilt my head to look up at Liam, just to see him smiling at me. He has the most amazing smile, I think I ever saw.

Liam shakes his head, obviously amused that I was in my own little world not listening to him.

Liam shifts under me again, that's when I remember what he told me a few minutes ago. I remove myself from his hold, to get off him. "I'm sorry," I feel my face heat up from embarrassment, so I lower my head to use my hair to hide how red my face might be.

I hear him chuckle from behind me, while he gets off the floor. "It's okay, Chlo." I can tell that he has a smile on his face, which causes me to smile.

From the corner of my eye, I can see him make his way to my closet. "Liam, what you doing?" I ask him, while he shuffles through my clothes. He ignores my question and continues looking through every piece of clothing I have hanging up.

He grabs a pair of my jeans and one of my shirts before walking over to me. "Put these on and meet me downstairs when you're ready." He tells me as he hands me the items of clothing.

"What? Why?" I look at him confused, even though his back facing me since he's walking towards my bedroom door.

"Just do it," Was all he said before shutting my door as he walked out.

'Okay, then,' I say to myself as I set the items on my bed, so I can strip out of the dress I was still wearing. As I change there was only one question running through my mind. What is this boy up to?

****************

After I changed into the ripped up blue skinny jeans and a plain pastel blue shirt, that Liam picked out for me to change into. I did what he said and met up with him downstairs, I found him in the living room talking with my mom.

Now we're sitting in his mustang driving off to the mystery destination, while my mom is relaxing at home. Every time I'm out in public in this nightmare of a town, I get extremely anxious.

My mother and I hardly ever left our house, Elizabeth, Maria's mother would volunteer to do our grocery shopping since everyone in town treated us poorly. Elizabeth still does our grocery shopping for us and my mother always gave her the money to do so.

The only times my mother would leave the house is for work, church, to see father and to spend time with Elizabeth since she the only true friend that she has.

My eyes were looking out the window, watching the scenery pass by. I had my feet on Liam's leather passenger seat, so I'm sitting comfortably while listening to the mysterious band playing through the speakers.

"Liam, where are you taking me?" I asked him while turning to look at him. This was probably the tenth or fifteen timed I asked him this question. For some reason, I have a little hope he'll finally give in an tell me if I ask the same question repeatedly.

"You'll find out when we get there," Liam said as he turns down another road. His answer never changes. "We're almost there, so you don't have to keep asking that annoying question." He adds in an annoying tone.

"We have been driving for hours," I whine, as I look back out the window.

"It's not my fault our town doesn't have the place I'm taking you to." He chuckles.

"What?" I quickly turn my head back towards him, raising one of my brows. "Where are you taking me?"

"Here." Liam turns to smirk at me before turning his attention back onto the road as he turns again.

I look out the window, extremely confused when I see where he has taken me. "Target? Why did you bring me here?" I raise a brow at him, while he parked the car.

He shuts off the engine, "You'll find out." He tells me before exiting the vehicle. I follow him with my eyes as he makes his way to open my door. "Now come on, tonight gonna be so much fun for you."
