Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter 8

(Liam's P.O.V)

What is going on?

This is all messed up.

Maybe I should stop chasing after her.

She wouldnt care anyways.

Suddenly she started to call and I immediately answered as my mind went blank.

"Liam help me..." She choked.

My car screeched to a halt.

I puffed my chest and said,"All right babe what happened this time?"

"He... H-he..."

"Babe? You okay?"

"N-no," she whispered. "I should've never trusted him... He.., h-he cheated, Liam."

"And I warned you, but you didn't listen to me, Jazzy!!!"

I felt bad as she began to sob, but I knew he'd do this at some point to her.

"Liam I know you did and I wish I would've listened to you. Ugh why don't I ever do anything right!!!"

"Jazzy calm down, I-"

"Liam I can't!"

"Babe I'm coming to get you right now. Where are you??"

"Sitting on Harry's porch..."

"Okay I'll be right there to come and get you. Please just hang in there babe. It won't take long!!!"

Lucky her I was closer than she'd expect.

As soon as I got there, she ran over to me and sobbed into my chest.

I held her as if there was no tomorrow.

"I'm so sorry that this had to happen. I was just trying to protect you."

"I know Liam... I wish I knew better."

She looked up and me and frowned, stroking my face in a loving manner.

I kissed her nose and ushered her off into my car.

She hopped into the passenger seat and grinned at me as I got in.

She stroked my arm and I looked at her arm, then back up at her.

Once I winked she gasped quietly and smiled the whole way back to my flat.

Chuckling, I picked her up and carried her until I spotted the sofa.

Setting her down, I ran back to grab my phone and lock everything.

I also spotted that she brought her bag, so I grabbed it and gave it to her after locking each door and window from head to toe.

"Done..." I huffed, from running around for a few minutes.

She held my hand and guided me to the sofa.

She grabbed her bag and stood up.

"Do you need anything before I change?"

"

It's fine. I'm thirsty but I'll get something myself."

"No Liam, really. What would you like? I'd rather make u rest a little and it makes sense, since I'm the one standing up right now."

"Water would be great, thanks."

I sighed as she came back with a bottle of water.

Thankfully I usually keep a stock of them in my refrigerator.

"Thank you so much babe."

She nodded with a quick smile and dashed off.

Not knowing she was standing there after a few minutes, I was sweating a little so I wiped my forehead with my shirt.

"Ooo..." She giggled and blushed.

I looked at her and got up.

"U-uh... S-sorry Liam I-I just couldn't resist."

"It's fine." I grinned and headed for the bathroom.

While washing my face quick, she stood through the doorway and smirked, but still blushed.

"Hey babe?" I said and wiped my face with a towel.

"Yeah?"

"Would you like to come to the gym with me later? I'll show you around and you can meet my trainer if you'd like."

"I'd love to!!!" She giggled and hugged me. It was good having her back.
