Falling For You

Chapter Eleven!

Liam’s POV

 I’ve just witnessed the scene where Elena and Drew are officially together. I mean, I saw it coming. I should be happy for Elena. At the same time, my heart was breaking into a million pieces. The little part of me that wished and hoped that Elena liked me as more than a friend was crushed instantly. I have to admit that I felt like crying. Not even tearing but crying. Did it hurt? Yes. Did I feel like shit? Yes.

 I didn’t know that watching Elena with another boy could cause me so much pain. She has been on several dates but believe it or not, never been someone’s girlfriend.

 I watched the girl of my dreams get taken away from me in an instant. Things would change drastically now that she won’t need me to be there for her anymore. Not that things haven’t drastically changed already. We haven’t even talked to each other for weeks.

 I love Elena so much. But if she’s happy then it doesn’t matter how much pain I’m enduring.

 But it’s too much pain. I don’t even know if I can handle it. I wanted it to go away. Even just for a few seconds.

 “Hey Liam. I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Annie said while tapping my shoulder lightly.

 “Hey.” I replied glumly. “I think I need a drink.”

 Her eyes were filled with concern when she heard my voice. “Uhh, alright. Are you okay?”

 “I don’t think so.” I walked back into the house heading into the kitchen to get something with alcohol.

 I drank a few beers.

 Then more.

 And more.

 Then had a couple shots of tequila.

 By that time, I couldn’t even walk straight though, I kind of knew what I was doing though. I think.

 I was still feeling something in my chest.

 What was it again?

 I shook my head. I couldn’t think anymore. Then I saw Elena across the room dancing with Drew. She had her hands around his neck while his hands were on her waist. I felt a pang of jealousy.

 The pain in my chest came back and it hurt even more. Then I remembered why I felt weird in my chest.

 I wish that would’ve been me. All I could do is wish since I didn’t have the slightest chance with her.

 I noticed that I was staring at Elena so I turned around, not wanting her to find out. I wanted to go home. But, I had to find Annie first. I saw her talking to her friends so I headed towards her.

 “Annie. Can we go now?”

 I was actually surprised that I can even speak regularly. At least I thought I spoke regularly.

 “What in the world did you drink? You smell so bad Liam.” Her nose wrinkled but a smile was tugging at the corner of her lips. She waved her hand in front of her nose to emphasize what she had just said. “Phew! Do you know what a toothbrush is?” She joked.

 I gave her a look to show her that I wasn’t in the mood to joke around. I felt like shit and just wanted to go home and sleep.

 “Fine, let’s go.” She was leading me to the front door when I felt a tug at my arms. I stopped and Annie looked back. She had a worried look on her face and I knew who it was behind me. I didn’t have to guess since there was only one person who could literally make my skin tingle when they were touching me.
