Run around the corner *Liam Payne --Engels

Around the corner. I have to get away from all this. I can’t stand to break my heart, not again. Please, don’t follow me. Please, don’t follow me.
‘Abby? Abby, please stop.’ I start to run. No way he will follow me then.
‘Abigail, please wait!’ Liam’s still screaming my name. I wonder how long he will continue it. The rain’s dripping from the sky.
‘Abby, why are you running away?’ What do you think, silly? I already love you since we were eleven, now we’re seventeen and I’m still too afraid to tell you. When I see you kissing some girl it hurts me.
‘Abby, don’t be such a fool. What’s wrong with you?’ I can feel the tears running down my cheeks. Shit, I hope he doesn’t see them. Then I’ll be making a fool of myself.
‘It’s not what you think!’ I’m losing my breath. I can hear his voice coming closer to me. No. No, he can’t see me like this. Why doesn’t he go back to his little girlfriend at the fair. Then he can have lots of fun with her and he can just forget about me.
‘Abigail, please stop so I can explain.’ Liam’s voice is close. He’s running behind me. Although he still does not sound tired at all. I feel his hand, taking my arm.
‘Abigail, please stop.’ I do as he asks. His eyes confused that I listened so quickly. But how can I ignore him? He’s just so… amazing. I try my best to avoid his eyes. I can’t bear to look at them right now.
‘Why do you keep running away from me? Do you think that’s fun, or something like that?’ Liam started screaming. He’s still holding my arm.
‘I… I…’ There’s nothing I can say. I love you, it shouldn’t be that hard.
‘What? What are you thinking, Abigail. Please, let me explore your brain so I can find what’s wrong with you. Is it some of those stupid girl things I don’t even want to know about?’ He takes my chin and puts my head up. Sort of forcing me to look at him. I do my best to look down. Even though it’s hard for me not to get lost in his eyes.
‘You’re not even close.’ For a brief second I look in his eyes. I see the confusion, the frustration, the hope, but also something new. Something I’ve never seen in his eyes before. It looks like a passionate love. Does he already love her that much? Liam frees my chin.
‘Then what is it? Gosh, Abigail! Why don’t you just tell me what it is?’ I hadn’t even noticed that he’d taken my hands. He was holding my hands and I hadn’t noticed. This was one of my biggest dreams. Even though we weren’t fighting in them.
‘Sometimes things just aren’t simple. Sometimes you do things that you don’t agree on later. But at the time they just feel good.’ I mumble. Liam seems really frustrated. But more than that. He also looks sort of… nervous.
‘Wait, is this still about you running away all the time, or is this about me kissing Amber?’ I raise my eyebrows.
‘Wow, you’ve improved yourself, Liam. You now remember their names too!’ Telling by his expression, I don’t think Liam got my joke.
‘If it’s about me and Amber, then just tell me. I don’t want you to be unhappy.’ Liam looks straight in my eyes. Like he’s trying to look into my soul.
‘No, it’s not about you and Amber. Not necessarily. It’s just about you kissing a bunch of girls, that you later on don’t even remember the names of.’ I kind of raise my voice. There’s a whole new group of tears streaming down my cheeks. He gets a few steps closer to me, our bodies just touching.
‘So what? That’s none of your business!’ I look straight in Liam’s eyes. I really want him to get it this time.
‘No it’s not. But don’t you understand it? Don’t you understand me right now, Liam? I thought you always were the considered the “smart one” of the group. The one with the brains. Well, I think they’re lost today, gone for a walk or something.’ I think he got it. After six years of hiding my feelings I think he finally found out about them.
‘What did you just say?’ Liam looks hesitant. Like he’s doubting whether he should continue his actions or not.
‘Really, Liam? You really forgot what I just said? Are you mad? Where’s your brain today? Did…’ Liam soft lips touched mine. His hands on my cheeks, holding them like they’re made of porcelain. Just seconds after we started our tongues were fighting for the power. Liam won, of course. He gently lay his arms around me, pulling me a little closer. My arms around his neck.
‘You didn’t let me finish my sentence.’ I said in between two kisses. Liam grinned.
‘I’m sorry, madam. Do you still want to?’ His lips felt soft and warm. Now I grinned too.
‘No, there are more important things.’ We continued our kissing, while the rain pour on our heads. Liam took my hands and our fingers strangled as one. We stopped our kissing and just looked in each other’s eyes. I bound my arms around him and we hugged. My head laying against his chest.
‘I can hear your heart beat.’ I looked up at Liam and smiled.
‘And it’s only beating for you.’ Liam kissed me forehead. We stood there for a while. Just holding each other. Then he let go of me. Immediately my face turned sad.
‘Don’t look so sad, baby.’ He protruded his hand. ‘Let’s go back to the fair.’ I smiled and took his hand.
‘I love you.’ I whispered, while we were walking in the pouring rain.
‘I love you too, forever and always.’
