The Girl In The Dirty Shirt Liam Version

Chapter 104

I pulled back and looked at him, he pushed my hair back and kissed my yellowing bruise on my cheek; I sighed looking up at him.

"We need to go to therapy"

He looked at me with a frown. "Why?"

I blinked looking at him with a frown "Are you kidding?" I whispered "We want this to work, right?"

"Do we?" He asked

"Liam..."

"Yes" he nodded "We do"

"Then we need to go to therapy" I paused "Will you go?"

"Do you want me to go?"

"Liam!" I sighed exasperated

He laughed a little "Yes, I'll go"

"I'm so glad this is funny to you" I glared at him.

He shook his head "It's not, you're just adorable when you get all worked up"

"Liam!" I shrieked "I'm serious!"

"You call and we'll go"

"Promise?"

"I promise" he nodded "It'll have to be after I get back from the States"

"When is that?"

"I'll be home on the 17th"

"That's over a week from now!"

"So?"

So, Liam if we're going to do this we need to do it soon!" I yelled "You piss off on the tour all the time, I think this warrants fucking off"

"Do you want me to?"

"Yes, Liam!"

He laughed again "Alright, alright, don't yell!"

He pulled me against him hugging me hard.
I groaned against his chest and tried hard not to laugh.

"Liam!"

He let me go and walked out into the kitchen picking up the phone.
I followed behind him but kept quiet; I busied myself with cleaning up the kitchen, listening to him talk to Noel.

"...because I ain't goin', I got more important things t'do"

That alone was going to send Noel off; something more important than his precious band, there was no such thing!
I could hear Noel practically screaming at him on the other end.

"I ain't goin' I'll be there when I get there"

He slammed the phone down and turned around to look at me.
Almost immediately after he hung up it rang again; he just lifted it and hung it back up without a word.

I called the therapist I used when I first got to Manchester to...cope with some things. I knew she did couples counselling too.

I hung up the phone as Liam came out of the bathroom from his shower. "We have an appointment the day after tomorrow!"

"That soon?" He asked as I walked up the hallway

"Too soon?" I asked sitting on the bed

"Nah, I was just hopin' for a few more days off"

"Sorry sweetie, Doctor Balay is very efficient"

"He better be for that price" he muttered

"She" I corrected

"Huh?"

"Doctor Kayla Balay is a woman"

He hummed "Oh"
