I stared at Liam from across the room. Tension was high, buzzing like a live wire. One wrong move and it would be the spark to set off the fire. I stared at Liam, while Rhiannon glared at me, Liam's eyes flitting between her and I. Tears brimmed in her eyes, as she stared at my stomach. I put a hand on it protectively, Destiny putting herself in front of me protectively.
"This doesn't have to be handled hostilely," Gianna said softly, her tone meant to be soothing. She stood with Niall near the couch, and my gaze fell on her for only a moment. I was afraid to look away from Rhiannon, because I wouldn't put it past her to try to attack me. My chest heaved with every breath I took, anxiety rolling through my mind like a stormy sea.
"Rhi, calm down," Liam said, his voice quivering.
"Calm down?" She screeched, her hands clenching into fists, "Years Liam, it took years for me to trust you. It was so hard, and I thought you were different, but no. You've gone and fucked everything up because you can't control yourself." A tear rolled down his cheek slowly, but when I tried to move towards him, Louis pulled my hand back gently, shaking his head.
"Please Rhi, I'm doing what's best for all of us," he whimpered, reaching out to her, but she looked at his hand as if he were diseased and about to infect her with a fatal virus.
"Don't even," she spat, crossing the room in anger, she hesitated in the doorway, her eyes falling on me now, "I hope you're happy knowing your 'mistake' has ruined everything I ever worked for." The room fell silent, we all looked at each other, not knowing what would happen next.
No I wasn't happy, no, I didn't even feel like I belonged with Liam, but we'd made a mistake that we had to pay for. We both would make sacrifices, and this was just the beginning.
