protective [a One Direction fanfic]

Chapter six - Ice cream and more trouble.

"LIAM!" I push him off Niall. I still can be stronger than him if I want to. If I get mad..

"Niall.. Can you please go to the living room." I say, keeping my eyes on Liam. Niall obeys immediately.

"First, to be clear Niall and I just watched a movie," I fist my hand. "We didn't see it because we fell asleep but.. Secondly, if you are mad at Sophia just tell us. Don't just react to Niall and me like that because you're mad.." I lower my voice, looking down.

I still breath heavily. But Liam calms down and places his hands on my shoulders.

"Don't.. Touch me.." I sigh, stepping back.

"Too soon?" Liam asks, placing his hand behind his head.

"Too soon.." I admit. "You know I'll always love you. But I'm just really sad.. And mad."

"I'm sorry," he breaths. "I just don't want Niall to hurt you."

I raise my hands in defence. "I don't see why he would ever hurt me!" I say, still furious but I manage to keep my voice low. "He was here when I died under your fight with Sophia."

I know I've hurt him by saying this. I know it was wrong. I can see his eyes tear up, that's the moment I break. I tried to stay strong since the moment I heard the first yell of Sophia right at Liam but I really failed.

I wrap my arms around him. "I'm so sorry," tears streaming down my face, "I shouldn't have said that."

Liam kisses my head. "It's okay, I shouldn't have react like that." He says on my head.

This is how Liam and I fight. We yell and end up hugging each other, sometimes in tears sometimes not. It's never good to fight. And going to bed knowing Liam is mad at me is the worst.

"And Sophia and I are good again." Liam gives a small smile, the same smile he gave when he told me just before Danielle and he broke up.

I don't know if he can handle another break up this quickly. When he broke up with Danielle it almost went wrong.. Almost.. I can't even think back, it still hurts.

I try to smile. "We're going on a dinner, you can join us." He says.

"I would love to but no thank you." I smile. No way I want to. Sitting with a couple isn't really my thing. I feel like a fifth wheel you know. I'm there but not really. And besides, I would only be their referee between their fights probably.

"You sure?" He asks.

"Yea positive, have fun." I smirk, pushing him out of Niall's room.

I sigh as I close the door behind him.

"Are you okay?" Niall softly speaks behind me.

"Yes." I say, "I'm going back to my room." I force a smile.

"Oh okay." Niall says, still shocked from Liam I guess.

"Want to grab some ice cream at eight?" I smile, a honest smile this time.

"Sure!" Niall's face lightens up a bit. "I'll pick you up."

"Thanks for the sleep." I chuckle as I open the door.

"You're welcome!" He laughs as I leave the room.

...

I read online they sell the most delicious sandwiches here. So guess what I'm going to get! I got dressed in a simple white skirt and a light pink top. I'm waiting in the elevator. It stops at floor 5.

"Good evening." A boy walks in.

"Hello." I smile.

We awkwardly stand next to each other, waiting for the doors to open. It seems to take ages before the elevator finally arrives at the ground floor.
