The Water's Sweet but Blood is Thicker

Abby POV

I head downstairs at around 11 after seriously oversleeping. I stretched my arms over my head and leaned back hearing by back pop. I quickly scan the rooms and see no one.
"Hello?"
Great we have today and tomorrow here and everyone is missing. After eating a bowl of cereal I head into the music room. I sit down at the piano and run my fingers lightly over the keys. My fingers start to play lightly skimming through the melody. Soon after I start to sing:
Right from the start
You were a thief you stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep Oh Oh
Things you never say to me Oh Oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second were not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again.

My fingers still flying over the keys I hear someone start to sing behind me.

I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine.

Liam stands in the door way looking at me. I pause for a second but soon pick up the melody again.

[Abby]
Oh we had everything

[Liam]
Your head is running wild againMy dear we still have everythingAnd it's all in your mind

[Abby]
Yeah but this is happening
[Liam]
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh
You used to lie so close to me
Oh oh

[Both]
There's nothing more than empty sheetsBetween our love, our love, oh our love, our love

I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh tears ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh we can learn to love again
Oh we can learn to love again
Oh
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I plat the last few notes and smile at Liam. He smiles back at me.
"Your really good."
"Thanks." I say blushing. "Dani was convinced that when we got back to England we were going to audition for the x-factor together because the auditions are a week after we get back but with the baby on the way and the wedding I don't think that is going to happen."
Liam comes and sits on the piano bench next to me.
"You should audition anyways. Everyone will love you trust me I know."
"How?"
"Because if they love you half as much as I do then you will be a superstar." Liam says.
Before my brain gets a chance to process his words Liam leans in and kisses me softly. I melt into his kiss for about half a second before pushing him backwards and standing up. I turn towards him.
"Liam I can't do this. I like you I really do but....ugh."
I pace back in forth in front of Liam running my fingers through my hair and trying to sort my thoughts. No matter how hard I try I cant get a single second of clarity. Liam stand up and stands in front of me grabbing my arms.
"Abby calm down please. I know you're scared I am too. Will you just go out with me tonight? Please?"
I nod my head thinking its the only way to get Liam to leave. He smiles, kisses me on the cheek and leaves the room. I take one last look at the keyboard and head back up to the room. Grabbing my stuff I start to pack my suitcases because I wont have time to tomorrow. As I pack I reflect back on the past two weeks. My old clothes find their places beside my new ones as I realize that I'm just not that girl anymore. The girl who wore sweatshirts one most days, who would much rather study then party, the girl who had never been kissed, the girl who wrote everything down into a pink notebook. Wait my notebook. I frantically look through all my stuff. Where is it? I can feel my heart rate start to go up that book literally has everything in it. All my hopes all my dreams something's that embarrass me too much to tell anyone. As soon as I push the panic down I realize that what is in the notebook was the old me. Yes I still have many of the same dreams but I'm not that girl anymore. I take a deep breath and let everything go. As I was putting the last couple things into the suitcase I hear a knock on the door. Dani pokes her head in.
"Packing already?"
"Yep I figured I get a head start."
Dani comes and sits on the bed.
"So how has your day been."
"Ummmm.......well Liam asked me out earlier so I have date tonight and....."
Dani interrupts me squealing.
"I knew it I knew it I knew you two would be perfect together. Details girl details."
"Um....well we sang together and I told him about possibly auditioning for the x-factor and he asked me out." I say purposefully leaving out the part where he told me he loved me.
I'm not quite sure if I want to deal with that yet. Dani just looks at me clearly expecting more detail. I shrug my shoulders.
"Oh well if you want to keep things secret then fine. So what are you going to wear?"
I hold up a grey sweatshirt from the top of my suitcase. Danielle looks at me clearly un-amused.
"You do not wear a sweatshirt on the first date. I guess I have to do everything."
She looks through my suitcase carefully not to disturb my packing. She pulls out a long pink dress.
"Wear this with those pink toms. Wear eyeliner and pink lipstick and put your hair in a bun." Danielle instructs. I smile at her.
"Thanks but don't you think that dress is a little fancy?"
"Umm...not really it is your guys' first date."
I shrug my shoulders agreeing with her and go back to packing as Danielle slips out the door. Finishing packing I head out to the pool with my favorite book. At around 4 I get a text from Liam.

From: Liam
Meet me outside in an hour wear something nice.

I smile and go up to get ready. After showering I get ready how Danielle told me to. (Abby's outfit:http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=114242529) Glancing at the clock I rush downstairs and outside. A little out of breath I almost stumble right into Liam. He catches me but falls over in the process. Standing up I offer my hand to him and I help him up.
"You know this is very similar to the position we were in when we first spoke."
"I know." I reply and nod my head to the side a bit.
Liam grabs my hand and pulls me off. We walk along the beach for a ways before Liam ties a black handkerchief around my head. He leads me slowly for a ways before I feel his hands at the knot at the back of my head. Pulling it off I see a picnic blanket spread across a narrow strip of grass surrounded by palm trees. I look back at Liam.
"You did all this?"
Liam just nodded. I sat down on the blanket and Liam sat next to me.
"Would you like something to eat?"
"Sure."
We sat and ate until the sky turned pink and orange.
"You know I really wish I had had the chance to see the green flash while I was here. I am beginning to think its just a myth."
Liam mumbles something beside me.
"What?"
"It isn't. I saw it."
"When?"
"The night you were in Gibraltar. You probably didn't even watch that sunset did you."
I look at him and Liam looks at me sadly.
"I did actually. The sun set right after Alex said that it wouldn't work because apparently I'm in love with somebody else."
Liam looks at me shocked. Ooooops I might not have told him that part.
"Really who?"
I look at Liam and it is like a ray of sun starts to peek through the turmoil that's going on in my head. I smile and bite my lip shyly shaking me head.
"Come on you can tell me I'm like your best guy friend right?"
I look around trying to find any way of getting out of answering the question. I see the sun about to set.
"Look Liam were going to miss it."
We both stop and stare as the last rays of the sun sink below the horizon. Just for a second before the light disappears the sky appears to flash green. I look at Liam.
"Did it just?"
Liam look at me beaming a nods his head. I squeal and hug Liam.
"I finally saw it!"
Liam looks at me and slowly leans in. I meet him halfway softly kissing him. Liam pulls away smiling.
"Can I assume you just answered my question?"
I look at him confused caught up in the moment.
"Oh to heck with it."
Liam grabs my waist suddenly and pulls me onto his lap and kisses me. Shocked for a second I don't kiss him back before I melt into his arms. Pulling away I see Liam looking at me and I recognize the look that I saw the night I brought Alex home. How can one look carry so much love and so much.........lust? Liam grabs my hair band and pulls it out leaving my hair to fall down my back. He tangles his fists in my hair as he kisses me again.
"Liam." I whisper to him through my panting.
He looks at me.
"Were outside."
Liam looks around taking in out surroundings.
"Well lets go." Liam says getting up and offering me his hand.
I grab it and Liam pulls me back to the house at almost a running pace.
"Liam slow down. Where are we going?"
Liam turns to me and I can still see the lust in his face. I have a feeling I know exactly what's up. Liam pulls us into our room and slams the door placing his back against it. I stand in front of him panting from the pace Liam had pulled me back here. Liam starts to walk towards me and I step backwards.
"Liam? Liam?"
I feel my legs hit the bed and Liam walks right up to me. He cups my face in his hand and kisses me deeply letting me know that everything is ok. When Liam lays the both of us on the bed I don't have the strength to resist. My head is screaming at me that this is wrong but everything else is saying that this is right. When Liam's hand starts to travel up my leg my brain shuts off. My body cries out that I need Liam. I am sure I probably wear the same look of lust Liam does. I can feel Liam get hard as we kiss. I fumble with his shirt and he helps me. Soon there is a pile of clothes on the floor and Liam looks at me softly his member brushing my entrance.
"Are you okay?"
I feel myself nod yes and Liam sinks himself into me. I take a sharp inhale of breath but am extremely grateful for high pain tolerance.
"Are you still okay?"
I nod my head and Liam slowly starts to rock back and forth. My body stretched to the max to try and accommodate him. Liam starts to moan but I silence him with a kiss.
"Shhh...there are others here."
Liam nods and continues to pump himself in and out of me. Soon I feel something build in the pit of my stomach and I feel Liam start to quiver inside of me. Soon we both reach our climaxes and collapse sweaty messes next to each other. Liam kisses me on the forehead.
"I love you Abby from the moment I first saw you." Liam says sleepily before drifting off. I just lay in his arm staring at the ceiling. I have to do it. I just can't do this. When Liam's breathing steadies I slowly slip from his arms. He breathing quickens and Liam groans and I freeze. He just rolls over though and I let out a sigh of relief. Collecting my clothes from the floor I put them back on. Straightening myself out in front of the mirror. Grabbing my suitcases I slowly slip out the door. Grabbing a sheet of paper and an envelope I quickly write a note to Danielle.

Danielle,
You know I am notoriously bad at goodbyes. I changed my flights yesterday and by the time you are reading this I'm probably already in England. These two weeks have been amazing. I have grown a lot thanks for forcing me to come. ;) I have changed a lot his week though and will all change needing time is a factor. I have so much I still need to sort out. There is so many emotions and feeling that I just need time to figure out. I will see you and everyone at the wedding. Just so you guys know I have decided that I will audition for the x-factor. It has been my dream to sing since for forever. It is about the only way I know how to express myself. Oh and no I don not need moral support for my audition. Please let the girls know that I had an amazing time hanging out with them and they are all like my sisters. Tell Harry that it was great to see him again, he has always been like an older brother to me. Let Louis, Niall and Zayn know that is was delightful to meet them. Oh and tell Niall that if he hurts you I will kill him or cut his balls off because I know killing him would cause you more pain.

I stop writing my letter and look up. Liam, Liam what should I say. Deciding to skip him I finish it off.

Tell everyone that I will see them at the wedding. You all are like my family. Please don't hate me for running off and not saying goodbye Much Love
-Abby

Grabbing my suitcases I write Dani on the front of the envelope and put the letter inside. I slowly slip out the door closing it softly behind me. I know Louis, Rachel, Lizzie and Zayn are out clubbing but Austin, Harry, Dani and Niall might still be inside. I walk to the end of the drive and get into the waiting taxi. Taking one last look at the house I turn away and look ahead.
