Forever Mine [L.P] *Sequel*

(Kayla's POV)

I got out of the shower five minutes ago. I was in one of Liam's longer shirts that I often steal from him, with some black shorts. I throw my long, wet hair up in a ponytail. Sliding my rings back on, I turn off my bathroom light, exiting the bathroom. I head to my bedroom lights, turning them off. I walk to my bed and turn on my fairy lights that were around my bed and the walls, lighting up my whole room.

I climbed into my bed, setting my pillows at a higher incline. I grab my scheduling book and marker and go through it as I wait for Liam.

Writing a note out, I heard a knock at my door and Niall popped his head in. Allowing him in, I close my book and put the cap back on my marker as he walked to my bed. "Liam explained what happened." I lean back against my pillows. "Are you alright?" I nod at him.

"Yeah, I'm just frustrated with Mel. Things would literally be fine if he hadn't faked his death and came after Jesse and I like the way he did." I still have that feeling for Mel where I can forgive him. But then there's those excuses and old things he did and said that pop out of nowhere, stopping me from forgiving him. It's like it's too late for him to turn around.

"Yeah, I bet," Niall said. "Are you still upset with Liam?" He asked me.

"I never was upset with him. It's just," I adjust myself, pulling a pillow into my lap, hugging it. "I don't want him to be dragged into this. I told him it was something Jesse and I have to take care of. But, I mean, it still shows he cares. Because, he can go off at the littlest things, but that's what matters. You know what I mean?" I asked him. He nodded, understanding my words.

"I do. But at the same time, let him do what he has to do as your fiance. He's protecting you." I nod again.

"I just don't want another fight to break out." I'm trying extremely hard to make sure that there are no more fights that happen. After Harry's altercation, the last thing I need is to fight out of my comfort zone all over again and get in trouble. As Liam's fiancee, I just don't want him to get into a fight period. But as his manager, I don't want him to get in trouble because like said before, one goes down, we all do down. And I don't want anyone else in this group in trouble.

"I understand, but he's your fiance. He's supposed to defend you. Just appreciate that. Because at times, you're gonna have to disobey an order just to protect a loved one," Niall told me. "And I know how much Liam loves you. He wouldn't let a hair touch you." I laughed at that. Because it's true! "But hey, be happy it was Liam and not me there."

I widen my eyes at that. "Actually, I kind of wish it was you there and not Liam. I know Liam all too well to know what he would have done!" I said, chuckling. Niall laughed.

"I mean, yeah, he'll throw down. But what has he done that scares you for Mel's life?" I mentally laughed at that, but I let out a scoff.

"Remember Glasgow?" Niall's eyes grew wide and he threw his head back, remembering Liam's reaction to a drunk bouncer, trying to start a fight with me.

"Okay....yeah, I'd be scared!" I laughed again. "But still. Just know it's because he loves you. Very much."

I smile. "I could never forget that," I said, grinning. Niall smiled at me. Niall leaned forward, grabbing my head, kissing my forehead.

"Love you, sis. Goodnight!"

"Goodnight, Ni. Love you too," I said as Niall got off the bed. He left the room, closing the door. I grabbed my phone after it buzzed. Harry's name popped up, asking if I was doing alright. He can always feel my tension. That's the kind of best friend he is.

Chuckling, I answer him.

Me:

You're literally downstairs and I'm not even 50 feet away from you. I'm fine, Harold!

Haz🥰:

I know, I'm just checking! Can't a guy check on his best friend? XD

Me:

you're so full of it, lmao

I'm fine, Harry. Trust me.

Haz🥰:

okay. goodnight then!

Me:

it is now

Haz🥰:

that's mean! :(

I laughed out loud at that and set my phone down. Fixing myself, I lay on my side, facing my window, going back into deep thought.

Maybe I was a little harsh on Liam on the way back, considering I didn't say a word to him after leaving the movies. I was just frustrated with the whole situation, Liam jumping in was literally the last thing I needed. I just didn't want him to get in trouble and we all have to go back around what we had already. Even though I don't want to lose this job, I would still risk my job for any one of those boys.

My thoughts left me as my door opened. I turned and see Liam. "Hi," he said to me. I smiled.

"Hi," I answered. I pat the side of the bed where I was facing, telling him to come around and he did. I lifted my blanket and he crawled in next to me as I lifted my head and placed it on his shoulder.

"You alright?" He asked me. I nod.

"Liam, I should apologize for the way I reacted tonight. I know that you were just stepping in to defend me. And I appreciate that. I just don't want you to get involved and me have to beat down Mel myself to get you out because believe me, Mel is more stubborn than me!"

"That I find hard to believe," Liam said. I scoffed and he began chuckling as he grabbed my hand. Which you can't blame him. I am stubborn as all hell.

"I was just trying to protect you," I said.

"Kayla, you don't have to apologize. I should've just stayed away like you wanted me to. But I can't help it. I see someone hurt you, I get to jumping."

"I know. And to be honest, I was glad you stepped in because I was beginning to lose my patience with him." Liam and I both chuckled. "But to be fair, you didn't deserve the silent treatment leaving the theater. So, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I know how you are and how you get. I expected it. But it was worth that stroll in the park," he said, pulling me closer to him. I nod in agreement.

"And you know what? It may not have been the night we both planned on, but it was still with you and that's all that matters to me." Liam smiled and I leaned up, kissing him. Since the movie, I actually feel relaxed and calm again. This is going to be a peaceful night now. I can just feel it.

I pull away and lay my head into his side again as Liam intertwined my fingers with his and we both dozed off.
