Chapter 6

-Amy's POV-

"Liam, please, be careful." "I'll be fine. Don't worry babe. I need to make sure he won't hurt you again." I nodded and kissed him. "Have fun with Lou." I laughed lightly. "Will do." I waved as he walked out. Louis cleared his throat. "Oh hey Louis." He smiled lightly. "So you're a thing now?" I nodded. "Since yesterday." "I knew it'd happen sometime soon. You should've saw how he was freaking out when we first met you." I blushed. "Really?" He nodded. "Yeah, he was jumpy and was afraid you'd hate him." "Why would I hate him?" He shrugged. "I think it was just his nerves...what was that on your neck yesterday?" "Oh you saw that?" He nodded. "Uh, Nathan." "Who's Nathan?" "Oh my ex." "So he hurt you?" I nodded. "I came home and he was waiting for me and he left that mark and a lot more bruises. I covered them up with makeup today." He nodded. "Is that why Liam's gone?" I nodded. "That must be tough." I shrugged. "Still awkward for ya?" "Very much so." He laughed and pulled me to the couch. "Let's just watch a movie then." "Alright. Sounds good." He played the movie (Thor) but I didn't watch. I was worried about Liam. I know Nathan owns some guns, but I don't think Liam brought any with him. Right as the movie was ending, the front door opened. I ran to it quickly but only found Harry. "Hey Amy." "Hey Harry." "Lou, where is he? He should be done by now..." "He's fine. Don't worry Ames. You know what he looks like; he's a tank." I laughed lightly and walked back over to Louis on the couch. Harry sat on the other side of me. "So what's he doing?" "Oh um, he's taking care of my ex..." "Oh...why?" "He, Nathan, was at my house last night and did this-" I said, wiping off some of my makeup. "Oh damn." "Yeah, I know." As we were talking, I heard the door open again. "That's him. I'm not expecting anyone else." I took off running and he immediately picked me up. "Babe, are you alright?" "I'm fine...he's not, but I am." "What happened?" "Well, let's just say, he was planning on killing you tonight but I got the gun first." "You killed him?" I whispered. He nodded sadly. "I-I've already been to the police station and they said there will be no charges filed because it was in self defense." I nodded and kissed him. "Let's go get you cleaned up." "Babe-" "Li, you've got blood all over your face. C'mon." He sighed and gave in. "Hey Liam!" "Oh hey guys." He said weakly. "Thank you for caring babe...if it weren't for you, I'd be dead." He squeezed me tighter. "Of course I care. If you're ever getting hurt, please tell me right away. Alright?" I nodded and found the first aid kit. I had him sit on the counter and I stood on my tiptoes to dab his cuts. Once I wiped off all of the blood, I got him out some pills. "These are for the pain." "How'd you know?" "There's no way those don't hurt." He smiled lightly. I gave them to him with some water. After he took them, he leaned down and kissed me. "You have to stay at my house tonight." "That's fine but why?" "They're uh-still cleaning up. They will be for a bit." "Oh..." "Babe, you understand I had to do that right?" "Yeah, it's just-strange...um c-can we go to the visitation?" "Yeah of course...why though?" "It's just, we were completely fine until we hit 6 months in our relationship and he was my first boyfriend...we had been dating a year...that's why we went to the concert. I convinced him to go with me for our anniversary..." "Alright. We can go." "Thank you." He kissed me sweetly. "You wanna talk?" I hesitated but nodded. "Alright. We'll go home and we can talk about it. Alright?" "Thank you babe." He smiled slightly. "Of course." He hopped off of the counter and followed me downstairs. "Bye guys. Thanks Lou." "Not a problem. She kept me company until Haz showed up." I smiled. "C'mon babe." The only bad thing about this ride is that to go to Liam's house from here, we have to pass by my house. I gripped his hand as we neared the house. There were 3 police cars and the coroner. "You okay?" I nodded. "I mean, not that I miss him but, he was my first ya know?" "I know babe. It's fine. Completely fine." I leaned over and kissed him. I stared as we drove by. As we pulled into his driveway, I realized I had no clothes. We went upstairs and sat in his bed. "It's just-I don't know...he was sweet to start off and then he met Natalie, and then it just went downhill." "You said it started six months in and you dated for a year right?" I nodded. "Why didn't you break up with him as soon as it started going bad?" "I had no proof. Then the other day at the concert, I got the proof I needed. I was gonna break up with him that night. Then when Preston came over, Nathan wouldn't let me leave. He cheated on me and wouldn't let me do anything alone. He ruined my fun so I told him we were done right there." Liam nodded and pulled me into his lap. He ran his fingers through his hair. "You okay babe?" "I just-I can't believe I did that...I feel horrible..." "It's okay Liam...you had to...babe, everything will be fine. I'm not upset about it anymore and you had to." "What am I going to do at the visitation though? I won't be able to stand seeing his mourning family." "I can go alone." "No, you're not going alone. I'll go it's just-it'll be awkward." "I'll be with you babe. It'll be fine." He leaned in and kissed me sweetly. "Thank you." "No, thank you."
