Chapter 19: News.
*Liams POV*
Louis walked in and I saw Violet pretend she was still asleep. I couldn't help laughing. Louis grabbed a chair and sat to her other side. "So did she wake up?" he asked curiously.
"Nope, not yet."
"Liam, I miss her so much. I love her and only her. I wish I could tell her what she means to me and how sorry I am. I never meant for things to get that far. Sarah is nothing compared to her! I love her."
Louis paused and I could see Violet's tear from my side so Louis couldn't see it. "Do you think she loves me?" he asked.
Violet opened her eyes. They were glassy. She put her hand over Louis and he looked at her in shock. "Louis, I do love you." she cried.
He took her hand, kissed it. "Violet, you're awake! Listen, I know this is late, but... I love you and I never want to be without you." At that moment, I felt my heart break. I wish it was that simple to tell her how much I love her. But she's Louis' not mine. "Me neither.",said Violet. She obviously loved him, not me. Violet's mom knocked on the door. She went in and hurried to Violet. She hugged her and cried, "Violet! You're awake!". She had a French accent. Violet told me that her mom was born in France and grew up there until she met Violet's dad and moved to London. "Yeah mom."
"I have to tell you something. It might be good or bad news." her mom said.
"Okaayy..." Violet said nervously.
Then her mom turned to Louis and me. "Boys, can you please leave us for a moment? I'm really sorry but, it's kind of private."
"No it's cool." I said and pulled Lou outside. When we were outside, I tried eavesdropping but I could barely make the words out.
*Violet's POV*
Yes I'm awake. After I took the bullet for Liam, he told me that he loved me ever since we met. If I died then, I would've died being the happiest girl. But why did I take the bullet for Liam? I don't know. Maybe it's because I love him? That's crazy. I don't know the answer. He's my best friend. Anyways, Louis apologised today. So I guess I have a boyfriend...? I love Louis. I tried being without him and I couldn't take it. But as I was talking with Louis, my mom came in and said she has news. After my mom told me the 'news', she left me and told me she'll give me time to think about it. Liam came in the room. I sat up in bed although my shoulder was killing me. But the news my mom told me was more hurtful. I pretended I was okay but Liam just saw right through me. "What's wrong beautiful?"
"Nothings wrong. Where's Louis?"
"He said he has to go do something important and he'll be back. Now tell me what's wrong." he touched my arm.
"I said nothings wrong." I said moving my arm from beneath his hand. He moved me over and sat on the hospital bed with me. He took my hand, "Listen, you can go pretending you're fine to the entire world. But you can't lie to me."
I sighed and put my head on his chest while his arm was behind my back. "My mom."
"Yeah, I know. What did she tell you?"
I hesitated and then broke the news to him. "After my dad's death, she wanted to go back and live in France. And now for my safety, she thinks it's an even better idea." I paused. "She wants me to move with her. To France. Forever."
Liam looked at me with no expression but his wide hazel eyes said it all. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know Liam. I don't know. If I move to France, it would be for my safety but I can't live without you." I felt myself blush. "And the girls, and the boys and especially Louis..."
Liam held my hand tighter. "I can't imagine life without you."
I smiled at him. He finally said,"So what are you going to do Violet?"
