I'm kinda glad I can upload frequently, but kinda sad that I already had this story finished...I'm thinking of changing some stuff though so who knows! xx

 ****Liam's POV****

Two days later I was let go from the hospital...so not only was I going to be made fun of for the rest of my life for losing my job as a receptionist, but now I was jobless and if it kept up that way, I was going to be homeless next!

“What am I going to do?” I asked myself, as I sat lifelessly on the couch, trying to motivate myself to do anything but sit there for the rest of the day. A knock came to my door and I skipped over to open it. Kate was standing in my doorway; her pale blue eyes sympathetic and her blond hair in waves down the front of her chest. She pulled me into a tight hug and she let out a long sigh.

“Who told you?” I grumbled, crossing my arms as she came in and plopped down on my couch.

“Jay,” she replied and I rolled my eyes. I always hated working with Jay at the hospital; he told Kate everything and anything I did because he was her boyfriend and she wanted him to “look out for me.”

“Tell him to mind his own damn business! This isn't something I prefer he share all around town,” I growled and Kate took my hand, pulling me to sit next to her.

“Listen, you don't have a job now and-,” she started, but I shook my head.

“Oh please Liam! Let me help you out! Jay won't even bother you I swear! He usually isn't home until like seven anyways,” she pleaded, but I stayed persistent.

“I'm fine,” I argued as my computer pinged.

“Who's that?” Kate asked, but I ignored it.

“Liam, come on...just a week...or two...or three,” she begged and I looked at her angrily.

“Why do you want me to move in so bad? Because you feel sorry for me?” I exclaimed and she stood up and held me tightly.

“No, I just don't want you out on these streets, Liam. Please,” she tried one final time and I sighed. She was right...it would only be for at least a month, no more.

“FINE!” I exclaimed as she squealed and spun me around happily.

“I'll have you know I don't want to do this,” I grumbled as I trudged down the hallway and looked around my room.

“Need any help packing?” Kate asked happily from the door. I shook my head and started to pile my clothes into my suitcase. Kate sat on my bed watching me, and I could tell she was trying to cheer me up, but I was in no mood. My computer pinged again and Kate went to look at it, but I pushed her out of the way.

“Liam!” she shouted angrily as I saw Niall messaging me.

“Haven't you butted into enough of my business?” I snapped as she sat back and pouted angrily.

“I'm beginning to wonder why I even want to help you out in the first place,” she mumbled to herself as I rolled my eyes.

N: Hey Li-Li!

N: Liam?

L: Hey Niall...sorry it's not really a good time right now. I'm sorta packing to move.

N: What? Why! Where are you moving to?

L: I'm moving in with a friend, I lost my job and she's going to help me out for a month or so. /:

N: Damn that sucks man...

L: Yeah, but...I'll survive.

N: I hope so! Hey, don't let me bother you. Message me if you need someone to talk to!

L: Thanks Niall, means a lot! Bye!

I shut my computer and looked back at Kate who was flipping through one of my anatomy books.

“Are you almost ready?” she asked, not lifting her head from the book as she asked.

“This is a big step Kate,” I huffed and she chuckled softly.

“I live three blocks away Liam, it's not like you're moving out forever,” she replied, looking at me seriously. She was right, but I wasn't done giving her grief about making me move in with her.

“Let's just go,” I growled, picking up my suitcase and going out to her car.

****

It was actually kind of fun hanging out with Kate at her flat all day until Jay came home and acted like he had no idea I had gotten fired even though he clearly told Kate earlier..

“Sorry to hear about it Liam,” Jay spoke, patting my back and I had to fight to not roll my eyes.

“It's fine, I'm going to bed. See you in the morning,” I said, although it was mainly aimed at Kate and Jay knew it. I went down the hall to my room and locked my door so nobody would bother me for the rest of the night. I puled my laptop onto my lap and I saw Niall was online; thank goodness.

L: Hey Niall, in the mood to talk?

Niall is typing...

N: I told you that I was available if you needed someone (:

L: Good because I have a lot I want to let out...

N: Shoot.

L: I fucking hate Kate's boyfriend.

N: Kate...isn't she like one of your best friends? What's up with her boyfriend?

L: Yeah she is, but her boyfriend is juWst...well he's a dick. I worked with him and he was always rubbing it in how he had a better job than me, but he would do it indirectly you know?

N: Yeah, that's annoying haha. Sorry to hear it Li.

God I loved it when he called me Li...

L: It just sucks. Why did I have to lose my stupid job?

N: You were too good for them? (:

L: I wish (:

N: I'm sure you'll find a new job though.

L: I hope so!

N: So what did you do all day?

L: Kate and I just hung out mostly.

N: Do you like, have feelings for her?

L: No way!

N: Oh..haha.

L: I have to go Niall, I'm exhausted. I'll talk to you tomorrow?

N: Sounds good Li! Have a good night!
