I HATE YOU BUT DON'T LEAVE ME
Author: imma_cloud (taken)
"I FXCKING HATE HIM" I say as I pelt my school bag onto my apartment's sofa as Allie, my best friend, my other half, my fxcking partner in crime, makes her way out of the kitchen and laughs when I see brownies in her hands. "Who do you hate babe?"
"you have brownies....Have I ever told you how much I love you!??". She laughs and takes a seat next to me on our sofa.
"You know that handsome evil b@stard from the lacrosse team, he shot a ball straight at my @$$!"I blurted as I stuffed a brownie in my mouth.....damn these chocolate chips.
"I don't know who you are talking about!" She says and continues to laugh as the anger inside me is ready to knock something down when our doorbell rings.
"That must be my brother!" she says taking a brownie in and gets up to unlock the door. I rise from the sofa and go for the whipped cream....I really need whipped cream. I grab it out of our refrigerator when Allie calls me to meet her brother.
As I close the fridge I shout to her, "Is he good looking?" there is a few seconds of silence then she starts to laugh and a familiar voice along with her....where did I hear that voice? I question...who is that???? I took a glass of cold water with me as I made my way back to my sofa.
"You must be....what's his name Allie??" I said as she laughed again. "His name is Liam." She says as I finally see his face. NO. FREAKING. WAY.
"YOU!" We both yell at the same time. I looked at my water and threw my water at his face......"What the h3ll????" he says as he stands up and tries to shake off as much water as possible. He looks at me like he's ready to tear me in half....but like I'm afraid of him.
I replied with a saying, "That was for my @$$!"
Allie stands there surprised and starts laughing until her sides hurt. When she finally stops she adds, "So you two know each other...."
"This is Hayley??" he asks with disbelief. "Yeah it is, my best friend....well you know she's more than that!"
"I'm gonna get Liam a towel, I'll be back....no killing while I'm gone.." She says sarcastically.
Liam replied with, "I'll try!"
Allie bursts into laughter again and says, "I wasn't talking to you Liam!" I grin when she says that and Liam groans as he pulls his shirt off.....SH!T.
He takes his white jersey off and I see drops of water making its way down his chest, down his stomach and then....SH!T. "Enjoy the view while you can." he mumbles as he slightly shivers due to the Air Conditioning.
I kind of feel bad for him....Maybe throwing water on him wasn't the best idea...and cold water too. "Do you want me to take of the Air Conditioner for you?" I exclaimed trying to be nice. "No...I'm fine!" he immediately replies....."Yes..please take of that damn ac.....I'm freezing!" I laugh and made my way to the remote and took it off. I made my way back to the sofa....damn it, it's wet. Spinning around to go to the other sofa I slip and was about to fall. I closed my eyes bracing for the fall, when I fell a strong pair of hands around me....I opened my eyes and saw Liam...his eyes were so soft and his lips looked tasty...before I could say anything he dropped me.
"OUCHHHH!!!" I screamed and he smirked and then laughed. My butt....it hurts. Ahhhhh, I hate him. I then stand up on my own and take my whipped cream container and spray it over his face.
"Wh-!" he was going to say something...but I filled his mouth with the cream and covered his face with it.
he swallowed all of it and then glared at me....and I...well I glared right back at him.
"A$$!" he started.
"Mor¤n" I say next.
"Rat!"
"Trash!"
"Dirt!"
"Scum!"
"a$$!" he says again
"You said that already" I replied to him as he cursed silently before Allie walked back in.
"What took you so long lil mouse?" Liam muttered as he glanced towards Allie.
"I couldn't find a clean towel!" she smirked while replying. But I knew she was lying through her teeth, cause I washed towels yesterday and there were at least four that were clean.
"Allie!" I groaned at her. "I couldn't find it!"she adds while grinning away. Then what she says after, shocks my very soul, "ohh, I forgot to tell you, Liam's gonna stay here for a while, until he can get a place to stay, don't worry he'll use my bathroom saying that we're unfortunately siblings."
I whined, "You have got to be kidding me...!" Liam stares at me and thinks....what is he thinking about?
"How about we stay out of each other's way." he calmly said. "And if we see each other, simply pretend the other one isn't there..."
"it's hard to pretend such a body doesn't exist you know!" I mumble so softly that only Allie, who now stands next to me, heard it, and when she heard it, she started laughing, in between her laughs she blurts, "I'm gonna have a h3ll of a good time for the next couple of days or weeks, I hope Liam never finds a place." She ends with that and goes into her bedroom, leaving Liam and I in the living room. Well obviously I didn't waste any time...I also left.
The next day arrived, but going to school was now different, instead of me and Allie taking turns driving us....Liam is driving us to school....no way I'm sitting in the front seat with him and Allie didn't want to leave me in the back seat alone.
I mean I could have gone with my own car but she says to leave the parking spaces for other students since it's generous, since when does she care about being generous to other students.
Oh. My. God. nooo way. this can't be happening...Why is Liam Russo sitting next to my seat in the lab!?? No way, my life can't get any worse. I continued looking at him and his eyes widened when he noticed me...."Miss. Graciana please take your seat.'' The Lab tech called out to me while I stood at the door. I finally made my way to the seat and when Liam saw me about to sit next to him he groaned....and so did I. "Can I have another partner for Labs?" I asked politely. and the lab tech replied, "Since I now know you don't want to work with him...I'm not going to move you!" she finished as she throttled her way to the front of the class.
Well you know...two 18 year old students hating each other, sitting next to each other in a lab, filled with chemicals, never ends well....a new times I 'accidentally spilled the mixture on his hands and he would 'accidentally do it back until I opened the water, filled up a beaker and emptied it on his head, the exact same time he did the same thing.....you know that went. "As a punishment, you too have to restock the library after school. Have fun kids!" the vice-principal said as she looked relieved, someone was Finally going to pack the books back, and it wasn't her or another teacher.
School finally finished and I made my way to the library which, from my view, didn't look like a library at all. The windows were covered with wood, for reconstruction, and the door was very noisy. I guess they decided to put one of the old doors to prevent the new one from getting damaged....they've got a lot of free time don't they. I start repacking the shelves when Liam joins me. we packed books in silence...awkward silence for about 3 minutes when I sighed and spoke, "I'm sorry for throwing water on you..."
"when?? at the apartment or in class!?" he questioned.
"class...I not sorry about the glass you received at home!" I sneered. He laughs when the door, the only way in or out of the library at the current moment, shuts, then the lights turned off, leaving us in complete darkness. I dropped whatever books I had in my hand from repacking the shelves and rushed to the door breathing heavily. "No No No No No!!!" I said while I tried to break the door open. My breathing started short and quick...I...I cant breath. I fell to the ground and hugged my knees as memories, painful memories, nightmares flared up in my brain.
"Hayley???"....a faint voice called my name....and then I saw Liam in front of me. "Hayley what's wrong??? Why are crying and breathing so heavily??"
I was crying...no no no.....he held my shoulders and lightly shook me. "Hayley why are you shaking like this?" he said, sounding genuinely concerned....I want to tell him that I'm claustrophobic and I have Nyctophobia but I can't form words to tell him.
He tries calming me but it isn't helping, I need to get out of here...I stood up and banged my hand against the door hoping anyone was outside and could hear me when suddenly I was spinned around and felt something on my lips.
Liam was kissing me.....and me being me kissed him back. His hands were around my face at first on both sides, holding my face in his hands but now they are on my waist, on the lower portion of my back. I wrapped my hands around his soft hair and he kissed me harder, he ate my lips as if it were food.. God this was so perfect. I couldn't get enough of him. What am I doing...I don't know but I wish I had done it sooner.His lips were on mine but I didn't fight it, and I knew we both were enjoying it. 3 minutes had passed and finally we broke the kiss with much resistance. We both took deep breaths and tried to catch our breath and my heartbeat was calmer....I was relaxed. He pulled me to his chest and I could hear his heartbeat...it's sound was so calming. I closed my eyes and rested there, peacefully. "Do you have any idea how long I've been wanting to do that?" he whispered as something jumped in my chest and my face felt hot. I replied saying, "but don't you hate me?!"
"Hate you? no...you got it all wrong. I've been in love with you since I hit your @$$ with the ball in practice." I smiled and then I heard someone opening the door....it was Allie. We both stood up and straightened out our clothes. Allie moved towards me and noticed that the place was dark and enclosed, "Baby are you okay!!!?" she said as she looked at me and hugged me tightly. "yea I'm fine!" I said softly and hugged her back. "Liam..did you lock her inside here?" Allie glared at Liam while asking him. "What..no..!" he said, sounding surprised.
Allie then broke the hug and looked at me again, "Babe you sure you ok!!"
"ALLIE!" Liam growled. "Call her by her name!"
Allie's eyes widened and smirked. "So you two finally.....huh!"
I glared at her and walked away, leaving the library unpacked, and not too far behind was Liam.
"Hayley...wait!" he shouted. I was near the back of the school now, as I turned around to see why he's calling me, his lips were on mine again, but this time it wasn't hungry and dominant, it was passionate and soft. "Be my girlfriend?" he said. I smiled and replied, "Do you even have to ask!?"
