Chapter 20

{A.n. I know things are rly weird and CONFUSING lol but I swear it'll all be explained soon ;) (someone needs to stop me from adding characters. Xx-Erin.}

LIAM'S POV

I knew I shouldn't have been rude to her is grade school. For some reason I thought messing with her would be a good way to achieve her consent.

I look at her tearing up, thinking about Niall. I feel terrible about what I did with them. I wish she would love me like that. I've been in love with her for the longest time.

If she saw how I was looking at her, she'd kill me. I have to say at least something.

"I was only rude to you because I like you. For some reason I though that would make you like me," I finally let loose. She looks at me oddly. Crud, she thinks I'm insane. "I'm incredibly sorry I was a massive pain in the ass. I really am. i never meant to hurt you."

She merely shakes her head and says,"Okay." I see her breath through the cold air. Her dark lipstick makes me think about winter.

"Do girls do that on purpose?" I ask looking at her intently.

"What?" She puzzles.

"Make their makeup match the season," I smile,"its pretty, but no makeup is just as pretty too."

I can see she's trying to hide a smile,"I like a dark lip in the winter usually, along with a bit darker eye look... the lip is the main focus of this look though."

"You're beautiful every season." I smile. "always have been the prettiest girl I've met."

She maneuvers her seating position to face me. God, I really want to kiss those dark lips.

"God Liam, if you want to kiss me, stop looking like a drunk puppy and do it," she says.

I hold her cheek and with my right hand and bring my lips to her's. I don't try to open my mouth, I love the feel of her lips.

She pulls apart and our foreheads touch. A look in her eyes says she's feeling remorse. She looks down and awkwardly coughs.

"I've uh got to go.." She starts to clean up.

"Okay... talk later?" I partially beg.

"I don't know, Liam, God. Niall is the love of my life. You don't give me the burning sensation in my heart like he does. Louis is dead now, and Niall is all I have left. You were an ass to me throughout my entire damn life. Yes, they have both been kind of harsh to me before, but I loved and will love them for the rest of my life. I love them to an extent that they are all that fill my mind. Any presence of another male doesn't compare. I'm leaving right now because I need to talk to niall. I need to tell him how much I love him before it's too late." She literally runs off.

MACEY'S POV

I need to tell Niall everything. I don't care what anyone thinks. I regret most of all Louis having the idea I hated him when he died. I don't think Niall will die any time soon, but life is awfully short, and I'm not going to waste my time on any useless thing.

I'm running away from liam because from the moment he kissed me, I longed for Niall. my thoughts were: "His lips don't taste like honey. He's not my snowflake. No. This isn't right. I need my baby."

I run the entire way to Niall's flat. I do not knock; if I did he'd tell me to go away because he isn't worth it. I head to his bedroom, where sobbing is happening.

"I can't believe I listened to that dick. I lied to her for him. I'm a terrible person... I shouldn't have taken the money," he is holding 200 pounds. holy cow... liam gave Niall 200 pounds to freaking say he cheated on me...

I don't speak. I pace into his bedroom and hug him from behind.

"Macey..." he turns around. He looks torn apart. His eyes are bloodshot, and he is still a geyser of emotions.

"Shhhh baby. I need to talk to you." I put my pointer finger to his lips,"Listen. I love you, baby. You're amazing. I know you didn't cheat on me-hell you'd never break a promise to me. That was a pretty stupid lie. And even if you did cheat, I would still love you. Maybe even ten times more. Louis is dead, simply because I let him go because he cheated. He still lives in my heart, in a little cottage, making cake batter balls, and living. In real life, I have you. youre the man I'm in utter love with. If I get upset with you over things and over react, I might lose you, and God, how much life would really suck if I lost the man I'm in love with. Your eyes call to me like a bee to honey. Your smile attracts me like a mosquito to heat. Your hair screams at me like a sweet humming bird. Speaking of hummingbirds, when you're around, my heart beats more than their's do. Niall James Horan, I don't care what the heck you do.... I'm never letting you out of my grasp."

"I'm never gonna let you go, my princess. I'm so sorry for lying." he squints as tears stream down his cheeks. "I'm in love with you, Macey Fayett."
