Liam’s POV

So this is him? This is the guy who tried taking away my girl- the one who has hurt her many times physically and mentally. He thought he could beat her and get away with? Fuck no. It’s time he knows what it feels like get their ass kicked.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, how can I, Liam Payne, beat someone up? Well no, I’m going to defend myself… and also beat him for Mia. But you know what? I honestly don’t care how bad he gets it from me. No one, I repeat, no one, hurts the ones I love.

I’m disgusted with the face that Xavier pulls, he enjoys this- he enjoys making people miserable.
I don’t reply to him, only letting my mind sink in that this could end well or badly.

I could literally feel Mia shaking with fear from a foot away still sitting on the ground. I don’t want her to see what will happen at any second because I’m sure she will get a heart attack.

“Sorry about your friend Harry,” he chuckles darkly and I only glare at him harder hoping as if he will burn from how angry I’m getting.

“What. Did. You. Do.” I tried not to shout at him.

“Oh… you know… just gave him a good whack in the head,” he shrugs as if it was nothing.

“You what?!” Mia shouts in shock.

“He did it to me and now I returned the favor,” he winks at her and I hear her whimper.

“You’re going to regret ever hurting Mia and Harry,” my voice threatening.

“I’ll never regret it mate.”

“When I’m done with you, you will,” I give him a death glare.

He loses his fake smile and growls. “I’m not going to let you take what has been mine from the beginning!” He points to Mia.

“She’s doesn’t love you and she never will! She hates you! She regrets ever being with you, you ruined her life you son of a bitch!” I shout. My hands are shaking with anger. I’m ready to beat this low life down.

“Shut the fuck up!” He shouts back furiously, his eyes have gotten darker.

“She loves me, me! You thought a false letter would make me forget about her, to let her go? You will never have what we have! You’re pathetic mate and you will rot in prison for the rest of your life!”

His body shakes with fury and before I could blink, I was suddenly tackled to the ground. I ignore the pain as he tries to throw a punch in my face but I grab his fist and twist it in defense. It feels like it’s only the two of us in this battle. Mia’s screams seems to fade in the background but I don’t seem to be paying attention to what she’s saying.

“She wants me, she just doesn’t know it yet, she wants me to fuck her badly. That’s what we were going to do tonight but you had to fuckin’ ruin it!” He shouts.

Outrage with his words, I hit his stomach with my knee with all my strength and he groans in pain and falls off me onto the side. I use this as the time to get on top of him and throw three punches square in the face. My knuckles will be bruised but I know it will be worth it. Just when I think I got this fight in the bag, he literally growls at me, he doesn’t show he’s weakening when he gives me a blow on my left hip. I curse out in pain and fall flat on my back. Within a second I’m being choked by Xavier. I’m trying to get out of his death grip but my furious kicking and scratching is only making him hold my neck tighter.

“Why can’t you just go find another girl to fuck?” He yells in my face making me flinch.

I try to argue back with him but I know it’s not possible.

There’s a psychotic look on his face and I know he really wants me dead. I hear Mia shouting and crying and I’m panicking. I’m starting to lose oxygen and I can feel myself slipping away.
Xavier begins laughing and I realize that I can’t let him kill, I can’t die like this, I can’t let him win, I can’t leave the ones I love. But I don’t think I will be able to get him off me like this. I look to my side and see Mia standing up. She walks slowly to Xavier who is clueless that she’s coming toward us. I don’t understand what’s she’s doing, I want to tell her to stay back but I’m starting to lose my vision.

Though my vision isn’t clear, I still manage to see Mia stand two feet away from Xavier.
Her next act is what actually saves my life.

She picks up her foot and kicks Xavier -may I say it was a powerful kick- right on the side of his head instantly knocking him out.

His hands leave my neck and I gasp for air. Mia loses her balance and falls and cries. As I gain my breathing back, I crawl to Mia and take the crying girl in my arms.

“Y-you saved me,” my voice comes out hoarse.

“I-I w-wasn’t g-going to l-let him k-k-kill you,” she stutters with tears streaming down her face.

I look at Xavier’s unconscious body and then try to stand on my feet. I almost fall but I take a deep breather and pick up Mia. I quickly before he wakes up take Mia and walk out the room. As I rush into the small open area of the front of the apartment, I gasp at the sight of Harry lying on the floor. I start to feel anger and guilt sitting in my stomach.

Mia sees Harry and cries more.

“Harry,” she cries.

Just then, the door was forced open scaring me and Mia. I didn’t know what was happening so I got down into a crouching position behind the couch for hiding.

“Put your hands up where I can see them!” A loud and rough voice says.
I take a peek and sigh in major relief when there is a police officer stand by the door with about six other officers.

Mia takes a look to see who it is and gasps and tries to get out of my arms but I only hold her tighter in place. “Please, you have to help us! H-he’s in the back bedroom, please take him away!” Her voice cracks. Three of the officers’ nod at her response and run pass us to the back of the apartment.

The officer who spoke puts his gun down and comes toward us. Another officer calls for a medical assistance and the others still stand guard.

“Are you two alright?” He asks.

“No, she’s injured and so is my friend,” I look down at Mia and then gesture my head to Harry.
The officer nods. “We’re sorry we’ve arrived late, we just got the call from your mother, Mia, saying to come here.”

I nod at his response- thank goodness Mrs. Harper called them.

“Now, let’s get those handcuffs off,” the head officer says and Mia nods with a sniffle. I put her down gently on her feet but still hold onto her sides softly.

When the officer gets her handcuffs off, she instantly stumbles toward Harry and the other officer. She kneels down by his side and talks to him softly. She cries and whispers over and over how sorry she is even though he can’t hear her. When the ambulance arrives, Mia is required to go to the hospital due to her injuries and so is Harry. I refused to be checked because I knew I was fine, though I was feel really sore and my throat hurt every time I swallow and talked, I knew I would be OK. I called Mia’s parents and told them to meet us at the hospital. I sat in the ambulance and watched as they treated Mia. It makes me so angry to see the bruises and dried blood coming from her nose and mouth- I wish I could have done better with this situation with Xavier. I failed honestly, I was supposed to save Mia but instead she saved me.

Mia whimpers whenever they put pressure on the places on her body that hurt. I hold her hand and give her a squeeze letting her know I’m here for her. I wish I could take away her pain. I don’t want her to ever be in this kind of situation ever again.

I will make sure Xavier gets put away for good. He will never touch or hurt the person I love.

-

I had to part ways with Mia once we arrived here in the hospital. I didn’t want to let go of her hand, I just felt nervous for some reason. Her touch made me feel calm and better but once I had to let go, the nerves came back and I was left alone in the waiting room until Mia’s parents and sister arrived. I honestly felt sorry for the cheery small girl who had no clue to what was going on. I watched over her while her parents told the police officers everything.

“Liam, where is Mia?” Helen asks with small frown appearing. She sat on my knee and played with my large fingers because she was bored I assume. We’ve been here for quite a long time already and I was getting sick of waiting.

Anne and Robin were on their way for Harry who I found out was going to be just fine but needed rest and we would be able to see him once he woke up after his pain medication wears off. I felt so relief to know he was going to be OK, I would have never forgive myself if Harry wasn’t going to be OK, he’s my best mate, he’s done so much for me and I can’t possibly repay him, I owe him so much.

“Mr. Payne,” one of the doctors comes into the waiting room. I put Helen on her feet and stand up. “Harry Styles is awake if you would like to see him now.”

I couldn’t help but smile and nod quickly in response. Helen starts jumping in excitement at the mention of Harry’s name. She doesn’t know Harry got hurt but I’m sure Harry won’t let her know how much his head may hurt.

I tell Mrs. Harper that we would be in Harry’s hospital room for a while, she smiles and says she’ll be there shortly.

I take Helen’s hand as we walk down the narrow hospital hallway passing rooms and many hospital staff.

When the doctor opens Harry’s room, I sigh again with relief at how good he seems to look.

“Harry!” Helen screeches and runs into the room. Harry was caught by surprised and winces at the loud child voice but smiles warmly at the sight of Helen. She walks to the side of the bed takes his hand, the sight makes me smile wide.

“Helen, how are you, love?” His voice sounds scratchy.

“I’m OK,” she whispers to him loudly. “Harry… What happened to you, why are you in this bed?” She asks curiously.

He looks at me and smiles, I smile back at him and walk toward the both of them.

“I’m sick,” he lies so she won’t worry. “But I’ll be find, I promise,” he says to her.

She nods. “Good because I can’t have my boyfriend being sick,” she tells him straight out and I hold in my laugh.

Harry’s eyes widen in shock at her words. “Boyfriend?”

“Yes silly, you’re my boyfriend!” She giggles and he swallows harshly.

“B-but, um… Liam help me out here mate,” he mutters.

I chuckle and shake my head. “You’re on your own mate,” I smile.

He rolls his eyes but looks back down at Helen.

“Helen…Don’t you want to be friends…first?”

“No, why would I want to be friends when I love you,” she says seriously.

Harry sighs softly. “Because there are so many things I don’t know about you and you don’t know about me… when you are in love with somebody, you have to really know everything about that person, and you also have to understand each other too.”

Helen pouts and begins to sniffle. “I don’t know everything about you,” she looks down.

“It will take a lot of time before we can um… until I become your boyfriend,” he explains.

“I guess you’re right,” she agrees and sighs sadly.

“But that doesn't mean we can’t be friends right? You’ll be my best friend and I’ll be yours,” he says to her.

“OK,” she smiles and giggles.

“Helen, do you mind if Harry and I talk alone for a little while?” I ask her. She looks at me and nods then looks back at Harry.

“I’ll be back best friend,” she says with a sweet smile then skips out of the room.

“Harry, I’m so sorry I got you into this mess, I shouldn’t have let you come with me. Now you’re here-”

“Stop OK? It was my choice and I knew that something could happen to but I took the chance, I didn’t do this just for you but for Mia too, she’s my friend Liam, I would’ve done anything to get her back. She’s a part of my life too now. I want our friendship to grow within time because she’s a great girl. But anyways, I’m fine, I’ll be out of the hospital by tomorrow morning,” he waves off.

“It scared me, she couldn’t stop crying when she saw you just lying there on the floor,” I shudder at the memory. “We didn’t know how serious your concussion was.”

“I’ll need to tell her I’ll be fine. How is she by the way? Did he hurt her?” He frowns at his questions.

I look away from him and glare at the wall. “He beat her,” I cross my arms over my chest. “But we haven’t heard from the doctor yet, we’ve been waiting for five hours but it feels like it’s been more than that,” I sigh stressfully.

“I’m sure she’ll be fine,” he tries to comfort me.

“Yeah hopefully-”

“Liam, Liam, Liam!” I hear Helen’s voice from down the hall until my name gets closer to the room. She comes running in and takes my hand in her and begins to pull toward the door. “We can see Mia now!”

The words I have been waiting to hear since I let go of her hand makes my heart beat faster with excitement and I feel instantly happy and not worried anymore.

“I’ll be back alright?” I turn to Harry who only smiles with a nod.

“Tell her I’ll see her as soon as get out of this bed,” he wages his finger.

“Will do,” I nod and follow Helen out the room until we go down a few rooms until Helen walks into one. I do the same and gasp at the sight of my beautiful and strong girlfriend wrapped with bandages and ice packs.

Mia’s parents are talking to her softly, blocking her view to see me. But as I walk closer they all turn and see me. A weak smile forms on her face and I feel like my knees will give out, I love her smile more than anything.

Mr. and Mrs. Harper move off to the side for my turn to see their daughter.

“Hi baby,” I take her hand that doesn’t contain needles in it and kiss it.

“Hi,” she whispers.

“How are you feeling?”

I take in a good look at her face, her top lip is swollen with a two inch cut on it, a black eye clearly forming on her right eye, her left cheek is red and swollen as well. I slowly look down her body but quickly look back up not being able to stand how much she’s bruised up.

“A bit sore, can’t really move too much but I think sleep will make feel better,” she shrugs.

“You look a little more than sore to me,” I frown.

“I’ll be fine in a couple of days,” she assures me.

“Harry is awake, he’s doing good, he’ll be out here by tomorrow so he’ll see you as soon as he’s out of bed,” I say.

A full smile forms on her face. “That’s great. I was really worried about him…”

“He was worried about you too. I was worried for you both.”

“I know,” she squeezes my hand.

I wish I could kiss her on the lips but I don’t want to hurt her. I don’t know about the cheek because it could be sore too or even her head. Plus, her parents are watching us- oh shoot, they must have seen me kiss her hand, maybe they thought it was a friendly kiss on the hand?

Does it really matter though?

I actually want them to know that I love and care for their daughter.

“Mia, Officer Daniel said that it looks like Xavier will be put away for a while with the crimes he’s committed,” Mr. Harper interrupts.

The mention of his name makes her shutter and her heart rate starts to go up on the monitor.
I immediately try to relax her by combing her hair with my fingers and speak softly to her.

“Baby relax, everything will be OK. It’s over Mia, he’ll be put away and we never have to see him again,” I kiss the top of her head.

Her heart rate goes back to normal and she looks up at me.

“I hope so,” she whispers.

For the next half hour Mia listens to Helen talk about what she and Harry had talked about their “relationship” and all I could do was watch her smile and giggle softly with her little sister.

“Liam, may I talk to you?” Mrs. Harper asks me breaking my stare from Mia.

I look at her and stand up and follow her out the door. We stand outside of the room and I wait for her to speak.

“Are you in a relationship with Mia?” She asks immediately.

I could feel my eyes widen I’m suddenly feeling like it is one-hundred degrees hotter inside this hospital.

“Uh, um, well, uh, w-we…” I don’t know what to say honestly, does Mia want to continue to keep our relationship a secret from them?

“I’m guessing it’s a yes then,” she laughs lightly.

“No, we are just-”

She cuts me off. “Liam, dear, I know love when I see it,” she smiles kindly. “You look at her like she is the most fascinating thing in this world. Your eyes say so much when you look at her. I see the way she looks at you too, it’s with much love and happiness. I have never in my life seen that look before on her face. I should have known from how worried you were about her going missing that there was more than just a friendship between you two. I don’t know how I couldn’t have seen it before…”

How am I supposed to respond to that? She knows. Lying about seems useless. She knows I love her daughter.

“OK,” I nod slowly. “You’re right. We’re together and I’m sorry we didn't say anything before but she thought it was best if you didn't know yet. Now, I know you may not trust me with your daughter and want what’s best for her and you may say being in a relationship with me may not be the best idea but I promise that what we have is real and I will not let anything like this happen to her again. She means so much to me, I may have not realized this in the beginning when I met her but I know now that I want to have her in my life for as long as I live. She has been there for me many times and I will be there for her as well. I know that our relationship won’t be easy because of my job in being a part of One Direction but I won’t ever give up on us. I've been through too much with her to throw it away when it gets hard. I love you daughter so much and I promise to take good care of her when she goes back to London. Again, I’m truly sorry we didn't tell you we were in a relationship.”

I know I just confessed my love to Mia yesterday but her mother doesn't need to know that we've had sex while not being in a relationship back in London because then she’ll definitely hate me.

Mrs. Harper wipes the forming tears in her eyes and then pulls me into a hug.

“I know you’ll take care of her and will love her. I’ve always hoped that one day Mia would find a man who would be what she needed and be her other half. I’m grateful that she has you in her life now so no need to believe that I am angry or any sort. I’m happy because you make her happy and that’s all a mother could ask for.” She sniffles and pulls away and pats my cheek softly in a comforting kind of way. My worries are gone and I smile at my future mother-in-law.

“But you do promise to be by her side even when unexpected things happen right?” She smile falls and turns into a thin line.

“Of course, I promise.” And I meant it- I will not leave her side for anything. I will never do the mistakes that I did before to her.

“Good because the doctor needs to speak to you both,” she says and goes back inside the room.

I just remember that I have not heard of what the doctor has said about Mia’s conditions yet and now my stomach feels like it’s in knots at what Mrs. Harper knows that Mia and I don’t.
I hesitantly walk back inside and see Mia laughing softly with Helen. God I love her, I've been outside for just 5 minutes and I feel like I haven’t seen her in hours.
Mia looks up at me and gestures me to come closer.

I should really tell her that her mother knows about us…

“Where did you go?” She asks calmly as I intertwine our fingers. Again, I forget that both her parents are in the room most likely watching us.

“Had a chat with your mom,” I grin. She looks at her mother in front of her and looks back me. Mrs. Harper says something to her husband and walks to Helen taking her hand.

“We’re going to go see Harry now. We’ll be back in a bit,” she tells us. We both nod and wait silently until they’re gone, I’m thankful that she gave us privacy.

“She knows that we’re together,” I finally say it.

Her expression shows that she’s clearly surprised and worried.

“How did she find out? Did you tell her? Liam she probably hates us now and-” she begins to ramble but I calm her down with small kisses on her hand.

“It’s OK, she’s not mad baby, it’s alright,” I tell her gently and kiss her temple. “She’s happy for us,” I smile.

“Really?” She looks relieved.

“Yeah she is, I was surprised too. But you know she said something about-”
I was interrupted with a man coming into the room with a dark scrubs on and with a clipboard.

He must be the doctor.

“Hello, sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to go over Mia’s injuries and such,” he smiles warmly at the both of us.

“Yes sir, go ahead,” I say.

“Thank you. So Mia, you have no broken bones but however your body has many bruising all around so it would be best to take the pain killers the nurse gives you and to just take it easy. You have a small concussion from where I assume you were kicked correct? You may feel dizzy but that is normal. It’s miracle that the baby was not harmed and is healthy.”

I suddenly forgot how to breathe. I blink rapidly and try to process what I just heard.

Mia gasps and then begins to whimper.

“B-baby?” She whispers but loud enough for the doctor hear. The smile he once had falls.

“Yes Ms. Harper, you are about three weeks pregnant,” he says slowly.

Mia covers her mouth with her hand and begins to breathe heavily.

My mouth is hung open and I suddenly feel like the room is spinning.

“Mia…” I mumble but she only shakes her head and pulls her hand out of mine.

“Oh my…” She hesitates and begins to cry.

She’s pregnant. Mia is pregnant. A part of me knows I’m the father but the other part wishes I wasn't. This cant be possible, it can't be.

This is what Mia’s mom meant by staying by her daughter’s side. She knew that she was pregnant. It’s obvious that Mia didn't know by the way she’s upset with the news.

We’re having a baby.

I’m going to be a father.

I get this tingling kind of feeling forming in my stomach, butterflies? Is it because I'm nervous or excited?

The doctor leaves the room giving us time for the news to sink, he must feel bad, I know I would for two young adults not knowing they are going to have a baby.

I sit on the bed and carefully wrap my arms around Mia’s shaking body.

“I’m not going to leave you,” my voice breaks. I try to clear my throat but it only seems harder to speak, I feel almost like I’m choking.

Then I realize it’s because I’m trying to hold in my tears. I want to be strong for her but how can I? I just found out that the love of my life is pregnant with most likely my child.

And so I decide to not hold them in any longer and let my tears fall.

We both cry together for next few minutes, I enjoy letting out my emotions right now, this is a lot to take it, I feel like this isn't real but it is.

“I’m not mad Mia, it’s my fault that you’re pregnant but please know that if you decide to keep this baby, I will take care of you both, you won’t be alone,” I assure her as I wipe my eyes.

“W-we’re s-still so y-young Liam,” she sobs in my arm.

“Yes, we are… but that doesn't mean it’s not possible that this baby won't have a good life, a life we can give it.” I tell her.

I got now reply and just continue to sooth her by rubbing her arms softly.

"I trust you," she croaks.

"And I always want you to. I love you Mia, I mean it with all my heart," I let my hand brush her soft and smooth face.

She stops crying after a few minutes and looks up into my eyes.

“I love you so much Liam,” she says and I love hearing her say it, I always will.

"We’ll get through this together, I promise.”

Notes

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY RIGHT NOW GUYS! THIS WAS PRETTY MUCH THE LAST CHAPTER OF LSS! BUT...

THERE IS STILL THE EPILOGUE LEFT!

I'm so sorry I couldn't update sooner, I haven't been myself lately but now I feel better and I'm ready to start writing again :)

I honestly can't believe this story has almost 900 subscribers, that's insane! I never thought this story would get far and it's all thanks to you guys, you are the best!

It would mean a lot if you told me how this chapter was, it's the longest chapter of the story so please don't be a silent reader, tell me what you has been your favorite chapters/moments since the beginning of LSS, tell me what you didn't like, I want to hear your opinions.

Now, I know you may not like how this last chapter went and I'm sorry if you thought this ending was like any other Sex Slave story but in my opinion, I truly saw this happening for both Liam and Mia, I think they deserve this sort of bump in the road kind of thing even if they don't see it as a blessing yet.

Again thank you all for reading, I love you all so much my lovelies <3
