Chapter 24: Why me?

I froze. I took my hand out of Louis' hand. I froze there. The words echoed in my head. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to slap Louis and run. My eyes turned glassy as if I was about to cry. Violet, be strong. I turned to Louis, "How could you?" I said softly choking on the tears. I opened the car door and ran inside the house. I ran upstairs. I ran to Liam's room and exploded with tears as I threw myself on Liam's bed. Liam knocked on the door. "Vye? Violet?" he touched my arm. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I said between tears. Instead of leaving me, Liam stayed with me and picked me up so I sat up. I threw my arms around him and started sobbing. I cried and cried until I fell asleep.

*Liam's POV*

Violet's been crying ever since Louis talked her. I wanted to know what happened but she's asleep. She fell asleep when she was crying in my chest. I put her head on the pillow and covered her with a blanket. As I got off the bed, she opened her eyes. "Liam, please don't leave me." she started sobbing again. I laid down next to her. She put her head on my chest. "I'll never leave you Vye. No matter what."

I woke up to the smell of cookies. I looked around and found Violet awake. She was still lying down as her head was buried in my chest. "Good morning." she said as she looked into my eyes.

"Hey beautiful. Why didn't you get up?"

"Because I felt safe."

I kissed her forehead. "Now are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

"What's WRONG? An easier question would be what's RIGHT."

"Tell me."

She started tearing again. "Louis...Sarah...He slept with her." she said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"WHAT?" I was shocked. She nodded and started sobbing. I held her close to me and she started crying. She's heartbroken. I stood up and wiped the tears off her face. She looked up at me. "Come with me, let's get some cookies." I smiled at her. She took my hand and held it tight although her hand was shaking.

She saw my mom and hugged her tight. "Mom, these are great!" I told my mom. "Glad you like them. Violet, take one."

"No thanks mom." She also called her 'mom' too.

My mom shot me the 'Whats wrong?' look. "Later." I mouthed.

"Hey Violet, you want some tea or something?" my mom asked her.

"No thanks."

"Whats wrong Vye?" she said.

"Nothing, other than that Louis slept with Sarah." she choked on the tears.

My mom turned yellow. She was about to have a heart attack. "Oh dear, are you okay?" she ran to Violet and hugged her. "How could he?" Violet said between her tears. I put my hand in her hair as she was hugging my mom. "Shh, baby, it's gonna be alright." my mom said comforting her.

I sat down next to Violet. She fake smiled at me but went back to scribbling something in her notebook. She went to the bathroom and left her notebook. On it was a picture of a torn heart. It hurt me seeing her like this. I wanted to tell her how much I love her. How much she means to me. I know that she's hurt, but I need to tell her. And after Louis, I don't think she'll ever trust a boy again.

Violet stood on the balcony. It was a bit windy today. I could hear her sobbing softly. I wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her cheek. "You still upset beautiful?"

She nodded. "I just can't believe he'd do that. People say it's not a big deal, but IT IS A BIG DEAL to me!" as more tears filled her eyes.

I held her tighter by the waist. I started singing to her softly. "You're still alive but you're barely breathing." She put her head on my chest. I continued singing to her. "Just praying to a God that you don't believe in. Cause you got time while he got freedom."

"And when a heart breaks, no it don't break even." she said with a sigh.

It was 1 pm. Everyone was sleeping. I sat down with Violet on her bed infront of mine until she slept. I was wide awake on my bed when she started having nightmares. Sweat formed in tiny droplets on her forehead as she started screaming. I ran over to her bed. "Vye, it's okay. It's me, Liam. Calm down, you're safe with me."

She opened her eyes. I got a towel and wiped her face. "I'm sorry." she mouthed. "It's okay." I smiled. "Do you want me to sleep with you?" she nodded. Two minutes later, she was fast asleep on my chest and I rested my chin over her head. Zzz, we fell asleep.
