Devoted ║ Liam Dunbar

║Chapter 11║

--

''So you're meeting Liam??'' Freyya, one of my friends nudged my arm as I smiled softly, folding my arms over my chest, hugging the material of my jumper tighter over my body. ''Yeah, in literally two minutes.'' I giggled nervously. ''I think we should watch.'' Amy suggested. ''Ew no that's weird!'' Freyya then exclaimed before they both shut up, seeing a silohette of Liam Dunbar leaning against the 'Beacon Hills' sign.

''Ah god.'' I nervously clentched my jaw. ''Go, go!! We'll meet you at the bonfire!!'' Amy pushed me forward causing my heels so skid against the concrete.

The two girls, obviously nosey, stayed and watched as I crept up towards Liam, trying to keep my cool together. God Jenna, you were only gonna say hi and then walk back to everybody else, just do it!

Inhaling sharply, I walked closer, calling out a ''Liam!'' To get his attention. The unexpecting boy jumped a little until his attention was on me. ''Sorry to scare you, but hey.'' A small chuckle rolled off my tongue as his rosey lips tugged into an immediate smile that set my heart and nerves racing.

''It's alright- you actually came- I mean of course you came-'' he stumbled over his words which I laughed it off, obviously seeing he was nervous which only made my butterflies even worse.  ''You look great.'' Liam quickly added on, my teeth clamping over my bottom lip as goosebumps came up on my arms and for once in my life I actually believed that statement from somebody.

''Thanks- I'm just wearing what I would any other day..'' I hid my hands under my jumper out of shyness, my fingers hooking around the loose threads in the insides of the jumper, twisting them anxiously and wiping my clammy hands on the fuzzy fabric.

''Sorry- I sound really weird.'' Liam's nose scrunched up, breaking the sudden gaze we had previously shared. ''What no- you sound fine Liam, anyway we should actually go in.'' I assured the anxious looking boy, taking a glance at how good he looked in his burgandy lacrosse jersey.
''Yeah sure, um you don't know if werewolves can get drunk or not do you?'' His voice came to a hushed tone as I chuckled softly. ''Well I haven't exactly tried  it, but we probably can't, our manetabolism's are too high and we heal too quick to actually let it effect our system.''

''How do you know if you haven't exactly tried?'' A smirk spread across his face as I simply laughed shaking my head. ''Well you go ahead and try, Dunbar, but I don't think it's gonna work any time soon.''

''Only if you try as well?'' He playfully elbowed my side, ''sure.'' I quickly responded as his eyes met mine in shock, ''really?''
''Really. I wont be able to publically embarass myself due to it, so it's fine.'' I shrugged, stepping over the several muddy puddles that the rain the night before had left, causing the grass to go soggy beneath our shoes. I chose a wrong day to wear white on my feet.

Once we actually found some seats and managed to sneak two bottles of some kind of alcohol that was disguised as a non alcoholic drink. I handed one to Liam and kept the other to myself, holding it up between our faces.

''Still think we're going to get drunk?'' I peered up to Liam, screwing off the cap and throwing it somewhere as he cringed taking a wiff of the strong drink.

''I'm hoping so..'' He cringed before taking a swig of the foul tasting liquid, immediatly pulling the bottle back down, coughing a little. Laughter escaped my lips as he was almost sick at the harshful taste.

''I'm telling you now it's not gonna work!'' I shuffled forward a little so I could rest against the back of the wall better, taking a large and much regretted gulp of the horrific drink.

I almost gagged. I seriously had to cover my mouth as it burnt all the way down the back of my throat and into my stomach. ''What the-''
''I'm telling you now it's not gonna work!'' Liam mimicked me as I playfully narrowed my eyes towards him. ''Just you watch, it won't!''

I don't know how long it took for us to actually finish the bottles but there wasn't the slightest effect on us. Liam sat slumped there, his back to the wall, looking super dissapointed at the results. ''Honestly getting drunk was one of the things I was most excited to do when I was thinking about being a teen.'' He addmited, my head turning to face the unsatisfied boy.

The side of my head leaned against the cold wall, facing him as he also mirrored my actions. ''Well I guess it's practically impossible to get alcohol poisoning now.'' I laughed it off seeing an adorable giggle pass his lips.

''How do you even come up with these things, Jenna?'' His words made me smile softly and look down with a shy shrug as there was a second of silence between us, it wasn't awkward, it was pretty peaceful.
''There's people coming around the corner.'' Liam piped up all of a sudden. ''What?''
''Listen.'' He leaned closer to me so he could stretch his neck to take a peak around the corner. I felt my heart beat increase at how close he was, my stomach repeatidly flipping. I don't think he realised how close he actually was to me.

I swallowed the lump in my throat trying to distract myself from anything but Liam's warm side pressing against my back. ''Liam Dunbar?'' A voice called out in the distance as four girls appeared walking over, they were all recognizable.

Lindsey Ashby, Mollie Taylor, Sydney Jones and Hayden Romero. They were all pretty, popular and pretentious. Yeah they were super intimidating at the beginning of grade 9, but now we're almost Sophmores I don't even pay attention to them anymore.
''C'mon.'' Liam mumbled to me, grabbing my hand in surprise and pulling me up. ''And Jenna Stilinski?'' Hayden snickered out as I chewed in annoyance in my gum.

''Are you two together??'' Sydney called out. ''Keep walking, ignore them.'' Liam dragged me forward as I took one last glance over my shoulder, my eyes meeting Hayden's who was already eyeing me up with a dirty look spread across her face.

''Liam, I think you can stop now, they're not gonna stalk us under the bleachers.'' I giggled, careful not to bang my head on the seats which were filled with drunken teens above us, oblivious to the fact we were down here.
''Sorry- I just really don't like them..'' Liam spoke, leaning against the wall as I stood oppostie him. ''Neither do I.. They've been like that ever since we came here.'' My eyes immediatly rolled as a small chuckle left his lips, I took a slight glance up to him, his laughter making me immediatly smile to myself before turning back down to the floor.

''Just because they're all pretty, they think they can-'' I began. ''What?'' Liam laughed as my eyes met his. ''They're all so pre-''
''No, no they're not.'' Liam shook his head laughing. ''Well they're not ug-'' Without warning Liam suddenly moved in closer, pressing a kiss against my lips, when he pulled off, my lips formed a small 'o' and I stared back. ''U-ugh sorry.'' He began but it gave me the confidence to slowly shuffle forward and plant my own lips on his. Just before they touched I felt my stomach flutter and when our lips finally connected everything inside of me just kind of blew up.
That sounded weird, but holy god...

I gotta admit, it was much better than the first kiss we both shared in the hospital. Liam's gentle touch held onto the bottom of my back and his fingers gently hooked to the back of my neck as I held onto his shoulders, my hands gliding down to hold his torso as I stepped a little closer to him, tilting my head up so I could reach his lips better.

His soft lips slightly moved against mine, brushing against each other's softly before they pressed together again, my heart slowing down and all the stress in the world seemed to fade. Ever since the first kiss we shared I had wanted to do it again, I might be over thinking or whatever, but but now we're doing it again I seriously felt like I was on cloud 9.

My hand slowly carressed up to the back of his neck, messing around with the back of his soft hair a soft breath leaving his lips which send shivers down my spine, his gentle lips moulding against my own before we parted softly.

''Oh shit..'' Liam suddenly laughed as I frowned, my gut dropping for a second. ''What??''
''I forgot- I was suppose to meet Mason like twenty minutes ago...''
''Oh- well you go find him, I better go find Stiles anyway he's probably passed out drunk somewhere already.'' I quietly responded, my lips tugging up when he let out a small bubble of laughter.
''I'll see you later.'' His arm playfully knocked into mine, even the smallest touch making me feel like fireworks just exploded between us.

''Holy shit..'' I mumbled to myself, letting that full incident actually sink in once Liam had vanished into the distance- probably to find a pissed off Mason.
