Chapter 18: Just take me home

(2 days later-Liam’s POV)

“Maya, you will have to talk to me at some point,” I remaindered her as I paced in front of our bedroom door.  I knocked again, but she didn’t answer. I knew I just go in she will freak. We got into a fight after the interview and she hasn’t talked to me since. I slept on the couch and I will randomly find plates of food made for me.

(Flashback)

“Maya, just wait!”  I cried as she ran out of the greenroom. “Why so I can be publically humiliated again? No thank you!” she yelled.  “Maya, you didn’t have to answer that! You could have just said you didn’t want to talk about it!” I called after her. “You know I had to and I did it so we didn’t have to live in some lie and you know neither of wanted that!” She yelled and then ran out of the studio.

(End of flashback)

“Maya, please I’m sorry. I should have never pushed it on you like that.” I apologized. She opened the door and looked at me. “It’s not that,” She whispered and then walked past me into the kitchen. “Then what is it?” I asked as I quickly followed behind her. “You don’t get it,” she said bluntly. “Get what?” I asked her.  “The whole baby thing was pre-life with one direction why is it such a big deal to the media? Why do they need to break apart every detail until they have the whole story from start to finish, but yet in a way I have never told it? Why can’t they just leave it alone?” She asked.

Now I wish she never started talking I could tell something else was bugging her deep down, but I also knew she wasn’t going to tell me. I embraced her into a tight hug and to my surprise she hugged me back and cried into my chest. “We’ll get this sorted out and it will all be done with.” I assured her.

A couple hours had gone by and Maya spent most of her time talking on the phone to her mom. Since we move the LA yesterday due to business she seemed to always be on the phone with her family.

Harry: Uh did you forget?

Liam: Forget what?

Harry: Meeting with Paul like 20 minutes ago?

Liam: Sorry it’s a war zone here, be there soon.

I rushed through the house trying to find Maya to tell her we had to leave. “Maya!” I yelled. “What?” She called from the back patio. “We have a meeting with Paul it started like 20 minutes ago,” I tell her.

I drove as fast I legally could to get to Paul’s house. “Sorry, I was distracted,” I apologized as we entered the room. “It’s fine, we understand,” Paul assured me. Maya set down next to me to my surprise.

 (Maya’s POV)

I set there as Paul went through stuff with the guys and I was hoping this meeting wouldn’t run long. I really don’t know why I had to come I’m not a band member, I’m a band member’s girlfriend.  “Maya, are you listening?” Paul asked me. “No?” I said a little confused. “How do you feel about doing another interview to set everything straight?” He asked me. “How soon?” I asked. “In about a week,” He replied as he looked at his notes. “Would it just be me?” I asked him. “Yeah, just you on The Katie Show,” He told me. I had watched the Katie show every day at 2 pm while the daycare kids napped when I would spend the afternoons helping my mom with the daycare, I had always wanted to meet her.

“Yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem,” I nodded. “Great!” Paul exclaimed as he wrote something down.  After the meeting Louis invited us to his house for dinner, I really wasn’t in the mood to be around the guys any longer, but Liam wanted to so I couldn’t say no.

Bri: Come home! ):

Maya: I wish! This is all too much for me anymore

Bri: Are you ever going to tell him?

Maya: No! I can’t!

“Maya? Earth to Maya!” Liam cried as he drove. “Sorry, Bri, text me and needed help,” I mumbled. “Will you stay off your phone for like I don’t five minutes!” He cried. I set my phone in the cup holder. “Sorry,” I spat. “Maya, I need to know you are okay,” He told me. “Why wouldn’t I be?” I snapped. “You haven’t talked to me in two days and I slept on the couch last night after you locked me out of the bedroom. You locked yourself in the room and only coming out if you knew I wasn’t around. I know the interview went too far and it put you in a terrible situation, but you don’t have to shut me out because of that. Maya, I will do whatever it takes to make sure that never hits the air. I don’t want you to have to see that everywhere you turn. I know what it’s like to see your face on every magazine with lies plastered around it. I hate it, it makes me feel small. I don’t want you to feel the same way,” Liam sighed.

“I want to go home,” I whispered. “Alright we can,” He told me. “No, home, Nebraska,” I told him. He slammed his hands on the steering wheel.  “Not this again, Maya! You are not running away from me again! I can’t deal with that!” He yelled. He pulled over to the shoulder and turned off the car.

“Why won’t you just let me do what I want!” I cried. “Fine, Maya, go to Nebraska! Go live your life! If that’s what you want just go! I thought you were different I thought you would stay with me through everything no matter how hard things got, but maybe I was wrong! I thought you could trust me enough to know I am not going to let anything bad happen to you and if the paps come after you I will make sure they get the heck away! For gosh sakes Maya don’t do this to me again!” He yelled.

I couldn’t even look at him, I wanted to so bad, but I couldn’t bring myself to. “Why, Maya, why? Why are you so willing just to leave me and run away from all of this? Do you not love me or something? Am I not good enough anymore? Did I do something to you to make you hate me or something? What is it?” He asked. I knew he was crying I could tell by the sound of his voice.

Both of our phones were going off I assumed it was the guys asking where we were. We just let them ring sitting in silence.  Liam’s words broke my heart into a million little pieces and then broke those pieces into another million little pieces. I didn’t know what to say or do. I continued to stare out the window trying to regain my thoughts before I said anything. “I’m sorry for whatever I did, but Maya I need you.” He whispered a few minutes later.

This time I was able to look at him. “Why do you need me?” I asked. “Because you make me a better a person. You make me strong. You make me so happy it makes me feel sick. You make my day just because I get to wake up next to you. I could be having a bad day and you bounce into the living room with dinner and I instantly forget about everything. You loved me when I thought I could never be loved again. You are perfect to me in every little way possible. I love the moments when I get to hold you in my arms after a long day of rehearsal and you laugh at the movie we are watching and I don’t even see how you find this funny. I could seriously go on forever, but what I’m trying to say is you’re my world and if you left I would be lost,” He explained to me.  I knew he had quoted one of their songs and it made me laugh but I didn’t let him see that.

I didn’t say anything as Liam turned and looked at me I could see the tear filled eyes and his puffy red eyes and tear stained cheeks. You could tell he had messed with his hair as well. “Lee, I don’t understand,” I told him. “What don’t you understand?” He asked me. I looked into his eyes one more time I slowly reached over and wiped the tears from his face. “I don’t understand after all the pain I put you through you stick around,” I confessed. He smiled at little and said, “Because you are the one for me, Maya Claire Hudson.”  I smiled at him, finally realizing I would be able to get through any problem as long as he was there next to me. “I am?” I gasped. “You are,” He assured me.

I didn’t know what to say. Liam just poured his heart out to me and I felt speechless yet confused. Liam soon pulled back onto the road and turned around. “Where are you going?” I asked him. “You’ll see,” He said with the smile that kills me every time he does it. “What about the guys?” I reminded him. “They’ll get over it,” He assured me.  “Lee, can we just go home?” I asked him. “You still want to go back to Nebraska?” He sighed. “No, no, our home,” I told him. He nodded. “I would love that,” He assured me. As I walked into our house I could smell food, really good food. “Did I forget to turn the stove off?” I asked him confused. “I’m not sure, you better go check.” He told me. I hurried off to the kitchen to find the boys of One Direction, well minus Liam, cooking. “What are you guys doing here?” I asked in shock.

“We are here to serve you dinner,” Niall told me. “Me? You are going to serve me dinner?” I questioned. “Yes, ma’am, now go freshen up,” Harry shooed me off. When I got to the bedroom there was a note from Liam.

M,

I bought you something pretty. Go into our room and change into it, when you are finished getting ready meet me on our back patio.

XOXO,

Liam.

I pulled the note off the door with a laugh. What kind of sick twisted prank was this? I knew the guys all too well and they just love to pull pranks on me, but to my surprise there was a beautiful gown lying on the bed with glittery high heels.

I quickly did the first thing any girl would do if her boyfriend had done with for her; I pulled out my phone and posted it on every social media website I was a member of.  I stared at the dress for a moment, trying to figure out if he had this planned for awhile, or if it was a spur of the moment thing after what happened in the car.

I changed into the dress and put the heels on. I stood in front of the full length body mirror with a huge grin on my face. “Maya, you are just a dork,” I reminded myself as I hurried into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I curled my hair and pulled some of it up and leaving curls to fall down my make. I kept my makeup pretty basic, just added pink lipstick to go with the aqua color in the dress. 

I smiled at myself looking in the mirror one last time. “Calm down, Maya!” I scolded myself.  I really need to stop talking to myself.

(Flashback)

“What would happen if I just dyed my hair like I don’t purple? Do you think I’d look good with purple hair? Would mom like it? Eh, probably not she would yell at you! Dad would just laugh, and tell you that you looked like one of those old cartoon characters he is always talking about. Jamie would be jealous for sure!” I rambled on. “Babe, who are you talking to?” Carter asked me as he put his dinner plate in the dishwasher. “Oh whoops! I was talking to myself!” I declared. “You really need to get that problem checked out,” Carter said with a laugh.

(End of flashback)

I couldn’t dwell on memories of Carter, not now, later I will for sure, but I can’t now for some reason Liam is waiting for me in the back patio. When I round the corner to open the door Harry appears and opens the door for me. “After you, Ma’am,” Harry says flashing his cheesiest smile. I laugh and walk out. Our back patio had been transformed with lights, candles, and Gerber Daisies everywhere.

I spotted Liam leaning on the railing.  He had the hugest smirk at his face. “Enjoy you two,” Niall smiled. “We will,” Liam swore.  Soon music started to play as the guys disappeared into back into the house leaving Liam and I alone.
