Liam: "You hate being alone when you aint the only one. And you hate the fact that you bought the dream and they sold you one. And you love your friends but somebody should have told you something, so save you."

He sat in the dressing room, shirtless and flushed as the boys got pumped around him. There was the familiar butterfly feeling throughout the guys, but all he felt was this sinking weight like a ship in his gut. He needed you, but you were somewhere with Lou, hanging out with the girls. He couldn't breathe, and he knew he was going to lose it if he didn't find you soon. He hated this alone feeling, this scary, vulnerable sinking in his chest even if he was surrounded by so many people and so many of his best mates. He was silent and staring at the floor when he felt Paul's hand on his shoulder, worried. "You okay, Liam?" He asked, and Liam shook his head, swallowing even though his mouth was dry like the desert. "Going to find Y/N. Sorry." He mumbled, and shot up out of his seat like a rocket, fleeing the room. He'd been having a rough week with the fans, the paps, the text messages from Sophia, the pictures of Danielle, and he just needed his best friend. After circling the venue and feeling like he couldn't breathe, he heard his name being called by your sweet voice, and he turned to see you jogging over to him. "Paul said you-" You started, but he cut you off by pulling you into his sweaty embrace, burying his face in your neck and taking ragged breaths. "Need you, need you now. Can't do it." He said, and you lowered the two of you to the floor, holding him tight. "Shhh, it's okay, it's okay. I know it's hard, but I'm here. And you've got the boys. Trust me, they love you, Li. It's genuine. Don't worry about that. I love you okay, I love you. We'll call your parents tonight, okay?" He nodded, trying to get air into his lungs. "Breathe, babe, breathe. Love you, okay, I love you so much." You said, and he knew it was real. He knew that even if he didn't have anyone else, he'd always love you
