Liam's POV: 

 "You do know that Harry's going to really kill me this time?" I look up at the girl sitting by my side, dabbing my bruised cheek with the ice pack, who decided to stop by afterschool.

"I'm not going to let him touch you," she mutters as she pulls away to glance at my injuries. By her distorted expression, I know it's not looking good.

"Don't worry about me," I reassure her.

"I will worry about you."

"You don't need to."

"I want to," she challenges as she sighs, before apologizing for the million time.

"If Harry sees us, he'll--"

"He'll do nothing," she rolls her eyes before huffing, "He didn't have the right to beat you up, Liam. He doesn't have the right to control my life." 

"Okay, but I want you to be safe. Please listen to me," I plead her as she reluctantly nods.

"Stay over at one of your friend's house, like Danielle's or any of her group of pals," I instruct her, ensuring that she was carefully listening to my words.

"You only remember Danielle's name?" her mouth twitches up into a smile as I blush a little.

"You like Danielle, don't you, Liam?" by now, her grin is stretched as far as it can be.

"That is besides the point."

"Liam Payne fancies Danielle Peazer," she sing-songs as I cover her mouth with my less-fractured arm.

"Stop," I warn her as she giggles but obliges. 

"Look, Harry knows where you live, so home is not an option. Tell your mom you're staying over a friend's for a study sleepover. Don't leave the house, except for school. And even then, always stay by the girls. Harry acts tough but he can't harm a female, for the most part, at least. He won't lay a finger on you that way."

"What about work? I have hours to fulfill at Starbucks everyday," she frowns but I shrug, "Just be careful and avoid him seeing you. Or even better, take the week off."

"I can't take the week off."

"Then just sneak around, okay?" I'm desperate for Selena to escape Harry's wrath especially with the bold stunts she's pulling that no doubt is pissing him off to no ends. 

She slowly nods as she processes the heavy information I dumped onto her already burdened shoulders.

"Okay, I'll do it. Only if you promise me one thing."

"What?"

"You'll make a move on Dani," she wiggles her eyebrows as heat flushes to my cheeks.

"She hates me like the rest of the school does. I'm scary, Selena, and a threat, which is what I'll always be," I sigh as she places a warm hand over mine.
