Worth the Payne

Chapter 11- Goodbyes

*Liam’s POV*

I didn’t sleep much last night. Niall and Harry stayed the night but they fell asleep on the kitchen floor. I did for a little while but I couldn’t sleep knowing she was gone. I got up and grabbed my phone. I called Kyla. I knew it was going to go to voicemail but at least I’d hear her voice. As her voicemail started playing I started crying. I still couldn’t believe she was gone, I was hoping that I’d be dreaming and that everything would just go back to the way it was but it wasn’t. I grabbed the photo frame of Kyla and the ultrasound and cradled it close to my chest. I stared down before curling up on my bed and crying. I don’t care how old I am or that I’m a man. I’m not going to be a coward and not show my emotions.

*Harry’s POV*

I woke up on Liam’s kitchen floor. I turned and saw Niall next to me but Liam was gone. I got up and started looking for him. He wasn’t in the lounge, the kitchen or the bathroom. I looked in his room and found him. The sight broke my heart though. He was curled up on his bed clutching a photo frame. He was asleep but his cheeks were tear-stained. He had cried himself to sleep. I don’t think he had ever done that before or at least for a while.  I grabbed a blanket and covered him. I walked out quietly and shut the door. I walked back into the kitchen to see Niall getting himself a glass of water.

“Morning, want one?” Niall offered holding out a glass. I saw he had cleaned the mess from the things Liam had broken last night.

I nodded at him before sitting down on the nearby couch. Niall brought the glasses over and gave one to me.

“Thanks”

“I should be thanking you. Thanks for coming over last night I couldn’t have calmed him down by myself”

“Don’t worry Niall. I just can’t believe she’s gone. They were so in love and now everything’s just gone”

“Yeah I can’t believe it neither but I get why she did it though. Do you think she’ll come back?”

“I don’t know mate. I just don’t know”

*Kyla’s POV*

I had just gotten off of the plane. I don’t know how I decided to come here but I knew I couldn’t go to Australia because Liam would find me there. I guess I always loved this place and I wasn’t that famous to the fans yet so I doubt I would get recognised here. I caught a cab to a nearby hotel and booked myself in for a week. I’ll stay here until I can figure out where to go. I ended up on the fifth floor and walked into my room. It was dark which is fair enough since its only 5am. I put my stuff in the bedroom down the hall and walked over to the window. I went to pull the curtain close but took a look at the view first. The street lights were still on and there were lights from the few cars driving by but the bit that amazed me was the view of the Eiffel tower all lit up. I sighed and closed the curtain. I sat down on the bed and kicked my shoes off. I unzipped my suitcase and pulled out two photos: one of Nikki and I, and one of Liam making a kissy face. He sent it to me when he was in the studio once to show how much he missed me and I printed it out. I sighed and started to cry a little as I held the photos to my belly and laid down on the bed.

“I’m so sorry” I whispered before I drifted off to sleep.

*Liam’s POV*

I woke up at lunchtime which I suppose was good because I got a few hours sleep. I had a feeling it would be like this for a while. I walked out to see Niall and Harry on the couch watching TV. Harry had the remote and Niall had a bag of chips. He started laughing at something Harry said but saw me and stopped.

“How you doing?”

“Shit”

“Don’t blame you”
