Elektra Pov

Liam seemed to be pissed with me for the rest of that entire day. School ended early and I caught Liam looking at me through narrowed eyes as he kissed Stella goodbye. He then walked towards us but was pulled back by Stella. I rolled my eyes thinking that she was going way over the top, but then she started talking to him about something and his eyes opened wide open. I stood with the others as Stella came over with Liam.

"Hey Elektra! Do you mind coming with me for a min? I gotta tell you something!" she said sweetly. I reluctantly went after her and pulled her away from Liam.

"What are you doing?" I asked her "Liam will be well confused!"

"A surprise.." she giggled. I sighed annoyed. This had better be good.

Stella pushed me towards an unsuspecting Adam who looked surprised when I bashed into him clumsily. "Well? Go on ask him out!" Stella said.

"No! I don't like him!" I replied as Adam pushed me off him.

Stella took me by the shoulders. "Look, I know being with Ed was tough yeah, but Adam will help you get over it, right Liam?" Stella looked over to him. I don't believe it..

"YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?!" I yelled at him.

"Yeah.. look its not my fault.." he said slightly worriedly.

"Oh I'm so gonna believe that! Why the hell would you set me up with your best mate?!" I asked him furious.

"It was Stella!"

"Liam.. I don't get it.. why?" Adam spoke up all of a sudden and I turned to look at him noticing that there was a huge crowd around us all holding up their phones.

I noticed the Dumping Ground in the midst of it all.

"It wasn't me!" he yelled at Adam who was taken aback by the force of Liam's yelling.

"But why her? Why Elektra? I thought you.."

Liam suddenly went for Adam and I gasped and tried to pull them apart. Chants of "Fight! Fight! Fight!" came from the huge mob of people that had gathered around and Stella's gang began cheering for Liam. I noticed how brutally Liam was kicking Adam. I had to do something.

When Liam took a step back to relax for a moment I quickly raced in front of Adam just before getting a slap right across my face. I clumsily stumbled over and fell into Adam's arms who had only just managed to get up.

The crowd fell silent. I gently touched the place where Liam had slapped me and found my hand covered in blood.

My mouth dropped open. I couldn't even look back at Liam. Must have some strength to do that.

"E-Elektra! Please I never meant to..!" he called out to me.

I grinned shaking my head, "Wow Liam. Even for you that's pretty bad. I thought you'd sworn never to hurt a girl! Well look how that turned out!" I stuttered.

Liam looked at his hand in shock at what he'd done.

"Liam?!" Stella cried out. Oh here we go again, I thought.

"How dare you hurt Elektra like that! You should be so ashamed of yourself!" Stella yelled.

Everyone suddenly perked up interested in what was going on.

"I can't believe I dated such a monster!" she cried. Never in a million years did I think she'd say that.

"You know what? My granddad never did die! It was all a trick to make me see whether you were worthy enough of being my boyfriend!" Course it was.

"And Elektra here helped me, because even though she hated you and would want nothing to do with you, she was a kind and loyal friend. And that's something you'll never be!"

"She was trying to protect Adam, because you Liam, have serious mental issues! She deserves better! What do you all think?!" Stella asked the audience who mumbled in agreement still getting over the whole situation.

"Liam O'Donovon: You're dumped!" Stella said walking away through the cheers of the crowd followed by her gang who kept giving Liam dirty looks. I felt a bit sorry for Liam who was still staring at his hand.

"Elektra? You fine?" Adam asked me with cuts and bruises all over his face. I nodded and realized I was still in his arms. I stood up quickly and Adam tried to walk away back home but from the way he was limping you could see that was never gonna happen.

I held onto him and turned my way confused.

"You're never gonna get around like that! Look I'll take you home!" I offered as Adam uneasily took my hand.

We walked to where the Dumping was shell-shocked and still waiting to go home.

"Hey guys.." I started but got pounded with questions from Carmen, Tee and Lily.

"Does it hurt?"

"You poor thing!"

"Liam's an idiot. What got over him?"

"Shit Elektra, I'm calling Mike"

"No 999! They'll know what to do!"

"Shut up Tee! Stop exaggerating it's obvious she just needs to get cleaned up from the medical room" Tyler said simply.

"Yeah I do, but thing is they'll know that someone slapped me.. and soon everyone will start fussing!" I told them. They looked at me annoyed.

"Look pass me a tissue and I can deal with myself! Adam here, can't walk. So I'll take him home and meet you lot back at the DG, and we'll talk then!" I explained to them.

"What about Liam? I'm not walking with him!" Lily whined.

"Liam never meant to do what he did okay! Take him home and I'll talk to him when I get back!"

"Don't believe he hurt you, not after you two kissed!" Rick said disgusted.

"Rick! Leave it! Don't do anything to Liam! We've had enough drama for today, without you butting in!" I said before turning to Adam and helping him across the road.

As we got to the other side I quickly turned to see Liam still staring at his hand as Tyler and Tee carefully pulled him away from the scene to take him back home.

As soon as we had finally got on the bus Adam turned to me, "Is it true that Liam kissed you?" he asked.

"Yeah, the kids dared us to.." I replied not bothered.

"What about Stella then? Does she know?"

"Duh! No way!" I scoffed.

"Look I know why Liam went for me.. you see I sorta figured out earlier that he liked you, and well he seemed fine then but when I mentioned it in front of you he just lost it I guess!"

"Oh" I said shortly.

"So you two kissed.." he continued grinning despite his injuries and I nodded.

"Was it a long one or a short one?" he asked.

"Medium" I replied.

"A make-out session or just a kiss?"

"Just a kiss"

"A good one or a bad one?"

"A good one. Look Adam, stop asking me! It's embarrassing!"

"Sorry! But you liked the kiss right?"

I nodded.

"And he liked it too"

I nodded again.

"Well then, why aren't you two together?" he asked.

"Just because. Adam don't get involved.. Liam's okay but just because we kissed doesn't mean I like him that way!" I told him.

We got off then and Adam seemed fine enough to walk home by himself. I got the bus back to Elm Tree where I had managed to clear up the blood from my cheek before Mike saw.

Everyone usually gathered in the living room as usual after school. But today they were all unusually quiet. Mike came round the corner and saw me come through the door.

"Elektra! Where were you?"

"Oh my mate had a little accident so I helped him get home.." I said truthfully and Mike let me off.

"Oh everyone's in the living room, all silent for once.. Liam's upstairs with Frank.." Mike told me.

I headed to the living room where everyone was sitting quietly. They looked up when I came in.

"The blood's gone..?" Tee said amazed.

"Like I said, Liam never meant to hurt me. It's just a little slap you lot!" I said smiling at them "I'll find Liam" I said turning to go.

"Wait! I'll come with you!" Rick cried out.

"I don't need protecting Rick!"

"Yeah but its Liam."

"What? One little slap and you start to judge him? Get a life!" I stormed off angrily to find Liam. Frank was in is room staring at Liam who was lying on his both looked up when I came in. Liam started to get off the bed but I stopped him quickly and sat down on the edge of his bed. Frank got up to leave us but I told him he could stay.

"Liam. It's not your fault" I told him quietly "Adam explained everything to me. I get it"

"Elektra. That's not the point; I hurt you, you said so yourself!"

"And?"

"I broke my oath"

"So?"

"Everyone hates me!"

"Not everyone. Well Frank will always be your mate no matter what, and I can convince the kids to let it go. And me, I've always hated you but you've made no difference to that!"

"Let it go Liam" I told him.

"You don't understand, I'm turning into Ed" he replied coldly.

"Shut up. Ed was a dickhead and you..you'll be the same good old Liam O'Donovon as you'll ever be!" I told him.

"But Stella.."

"Stella is a bitch, and well she can't understand... besides its sorta my fault for trying to get her to dump you.."

"You what?"

"I couldn't get over the fact that you two were going out. It's feels wrong seeing her with my number one enemy.." I trailed as Liam suddenly butted in.

"Are you jealous?"

"No!"

"Shut up you are!"

"Liam!" I cried out and Frank quickly turned to me and whispered something in my ear.

"I'll just leave you two alone then.." he whispered grinning cheekily before heading out the door.

"What?" Liam asked bewildered as Frank left.

"Nah don't worry he wanted to leave us alone.. you know.."

Liam grinned and nodded. Then his grin suddenly fell. I realized he was thinking about what happened earlier. I ran my hand through his hair and slid my arm around his shoulder before hugging him and rubbing his back.

I could smell his aftershave and pulled him closer towards me. "I wish you would stop feeling guilty Liam" I whispered into his ear "Maybe then I might like you better.." I said getting up and exiting.
