CHAPTER 12
LIAM'S POV
I ran as fast as I could. I stopped at the music room and slammed the door shut. I passed back and forth. I thought she really liked me…I guess I was wrong. I looked at a guitar and picked it up. I couldn't really play, but Niall had taught me a few cords. I started singing a song I wrote myself, devoted to Jenna. It was called More than this
JENNA'S POV
I quickly ran after Liam. Louis wouldn't come, and I don't know why. I walked down a hallway and stopped when I heard music. I listened harder, someone was singing. I followed the signing to a music room. I looked through the window and saw Liam. He was facing the other way so I crept in and listened to him. His voice was beautiful.
And when he opens his arms and holds close tonight, it just won't feel right,
'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah
"You're really good." I said and he jumped a little.
LIAM'S POV
And when he opens his arms and holds close tonight, it just won't feel right.
'Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
I let my heart out in my singing.
"You're really good." A quiet, but sweet voice said. It was Jenna.
"Thanks." I muttered, not even turning around. I wasn't angry with her, I was just scared I would cry when I saw her.
"Did you write that song?"
"Yeah."
"It's good.
"Thanks. Yours are better."
"Are you angry with me?" She asked. I could just imagine the sadness in her eyes.
"No."
"Then why won't you face me?"
I waited a few seconds then turned around. She was beautiful, and she wasn't mine.
"Happy?" I muttered
"I can tell you're upset…" She said stepping closer
"Why would you care?" I said looking at the ground
"Cause I love you…" She said. My heart skipped a beat, did she just say that? "You're like a big brother to me. I know we just only met like last week, but you were the only one that really cared about me."
My heart dropped. She just wanted to be friends. "I love you too." I said. But I didn't mean it in the way she did.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Anything." I said looking up
"You know how I said I have heaps of friends?"
"Yeah?"
"Well I have none. You and the boys and Caitlin and Rose are the only ones I have."
"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"The truth is…" She said sitting down next to me "I have no friends. I've been constantly bullied. You know that girl that bumped me in the hallway, she's one of the bullies. She used to be my best friend actually. I remember those days, we used to hang out all the time. Then we went to a party and something happened. Her and everyone else who knew started looking down on me from that day on." I could hear the pain in her voice. I wanted to kiss her, show her how much I cared about her. Instead I leant forward and hugged her.
"It's alright Jenna." I said into her hair.
"Thanks Liam. It felt good saying all that to you…I trust you"
I smiled, she trusted me.
"So what's with that Brad guy?" I asked
She tensed up.
"N-N-Nothing" She said "Well I better get going." She said quickly and standing up.
I pulled her arm and she looked at me.
"I thought you trusted me…"
"I don't want you to know." She said. I looked into her eyes. They were starting to water.
I looked down sadly, I hated seeing her this sad, I felt like crying myself.
I heard the door slam behind her. I wiped my eyes and cleaned up the music room.
I walked out of the room and walked down the hall.
JENNA'S POV
I walked out and practically ran. I needed to find a place I could run and hide, and this time nobody would find me. I walked down a hallway.
"Hi Jenna."
"Go away Brad." I snapped trying to walk past him, but he stopped me.
"You've been crying…" He said
"Just go away!" I yelled but he just smirked and stepped closer. He crashed his lips against mine. This time I was mad and had enough strength to push him away.
"What's up with you?" He said rudely
"FUCK OFF!" I screamed and pushed past him. I looked up to see Liam standing there.
I turned around and ran, but I knew he would follow.
I found a room and ran into it. I locked the door and sat on the floor and cried.
"Jenna? Jenna, let me in!" Liam shouted, but it was muffled from the closed door.
"Go away!" I yelled with my head resting on my knees.
"Please Jenna!" He was now banging on the door.
I didn't want him to know about Brad. Just remembering that night gave me the chills.
**That Night****
Sam and I ran from the bar with a glass full of whatever drink we had ordered. I had had hardly anything to drink, but Sam had quite abit.
"Hey babe." Brad said wrapping his hands around my waist. My stomach churned. I actually didn't like him that much, and was meaning to break up with him soon.
"Hi." I said plainly
"Come on Jenna! Let's dance!" Sam screamed. She took a massive gulp of alcohol.
"Oh my god Sam! You're so drunk!" I laughed and squirmed out of Brad's grasp.
I followed Sam to the dance floor and we pumped to the beat. Firework by Katy Perry was playing, it was Sam's and my favourite song.
"Whoooo!' Sam screamed
I face palmed and laughed, she was such a funny drunk.
"Hey babe, I wanna show you something." Brad said pulling my arm.
"I'm kinda in the middle of something…" I snapped
"Oh just go…." Sam slurred "Get it oonnn!"
I rolled my eyes but Brad winked.
He pulled my upstairs to some random room. I could still hear the pounding of the music.
Brad pulled me against him and smashed his lips to mine. Our kisses had never been magical. He forced his tongue into my mouth, and I was practically choking.
"Brad, I" I said trying to pull away. He ignored me and pulled me to the bed. He began undressing himself.
"Brad, your drunk!" I said trying to pull from his arms.
Shirt and pants were gone.
"Keep your clothes on!" I yelled trying to struggle
He reached for my dress and pulled up the hem to it was up to my belly button.
From then onwards I had no control on what happened. He had raped me. How was I supposed to know he had a knife on him, or that was his intentions? I had felt so helpless, and still do. Sam found out and she didn't want anything to do with me. My life was torn apart.
**Present**
I hugged my knees. I hated my life.
"Jenna, please."
I closed my eyes and drowned out Liam's cries.
