Liam's POV

I woke up with my nose swollen and throbbing. I quickly got up and checked my guest room only to find Jillian gone. I sighed and pulled out my phone instantly dialing her number. "Sorry, the person you are trying to reach is not available, please hang up and try again." I heard the operator go and I sighed. I tried twenty more times before getting a call from management. "Liam, please come by the office today, we have something to discuss with all you boys." I sighed and took a quick shower. I knew what this was about, and I didn't wanna hear it, but for the sake of the band, mostly Niall, I had to do this. I had to own up to my shit.

I arrived to the office a little late, of course I'd get yelled at by everyone but I was taming my nose. "It's really nice of you to join us Liam, now please take a seat." I looked over to Niall who had his head down.

"What's wrong with Niall? What did you guys do to him?" I hissed out to Louis and Harry.

"Liam, calm down. We are here to talk about one thing and one thing only. You're out of hand. Bashing on your band mates for a girl?" I rolled my eyes. "Look Liam, we've done something to take away this whole problem." I looked at out manager.

"Oh yeah? And what's that?" I crossed my arms.

"We've issued a restraining order against Jillian Summers. She can not and will not come anywhere near any of you five. And if she does, she's going to jail. And you will get dropped from this label Do I make myself clear?" I shook my head.

"This is bullshit!" I yelled out making Niall jump. "You can't keep someone I like away from me, that's bullshit!" I slammed my fists on the desk.

"Liam, calm down. It's already been done. And that's that. Now go get ready for your show tomorrow night, you guys have to at least act civil." I rolled my eyes and stormed out.

"Liam, mate!" I heard Zayn's voice. "Wait up!" I heard his footsteps right behind mine. "Hey!" He grabbed my arm and stopped me from running.

"What Zayn!?" He sighed.

"Look mate, I know, It's hard for you, but do this for the band. It'll blow over and you'll get to be with her soon." I shook my head.

"It won't blow over Zayn!" I felt tears sting the bridge of my eye. "I haven't looked at a girl the way I look at Jillian and now I have to let her go because of some stupid restraining order Louis and Harry issued to her." I shook my head as the tears started to spill on the top of my cheek. "I can't just leave her alone Zayn, She tried to kill herself yesterday." I choked out. "What if she tries again? I won't be able to be there and this time she will die." I shook my head as I fell to my knees. I felt him join me and pull me into a hug.

"Look, I know it won't be easy but I'll help you through this. Fuck with this restraining order says, as long as the two of you don't get caught you'll be alright. Now, all you have to do is let her in on the plan." He patted my back. "I can see how much she means to you already Liam. Don't let her go without a fight." He gave me a warm smile and so did I. And that's what I was going to do. I was going to fight for her.

Jillian's POV

I went back to being the same old me, without anyone. I locked myself in my apartment and watched movies all day that day. I thought hard about what to do. Should I risk my career for him? Should I go to jail for him? Is he really that worth it? And the truth is, he is. He is worth it. I didn't care that I hadn't accepted his apology for setting the bitch out of me. I didn't care that I had met him two weeks ago. I didn't care that I hadn't trusted anyone in years because he's the one I want. He's the one that makes me feel alive and he's the one that makes me happy. I quickly got my phone and dialed his number. I wasn't able to get him but I decided to leave a voice mail.

"Liam, I'm sure you know about the restraining order by now." I rook a deep breathe. "But I want you to know that I could give a rats ass about it. I don't care what some paper has to say. I don't want to be miles away from you, I want to be as close as I can be to you. I get it, maybe you don't want this, but I do. I haven't wanted anything like this in years Liam." By now I realized I was shedding tear after tear. "I want you Liam and if I have to go to jail just to give you one last fast kiss I will. Just-" I hesitated. "Just call me if you want this, and if you don't call...I'll back off." I hung up and placed my phone on the coffee table. I didn't want to sound desperate but that's what I sounded like. I focused my attention to the movie on TV, which happened to be Shrek. I heard a light knock at the door and I stood up. I had no idea who it could be but I didn't hesitate. I opened the door and saw a tall man with shades on and a hat. "May I help you?" I looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, I'm here to inspect this apartment for bugs, the lawn owner called and made an appointment." His horrible American accent said. I looked over my shoulder and back at him.

"First of all, I don't have a lawn owner. And second of all, even if I did, they'd tell me to fix my own problems. Whoever the hell you are, I suggest you leave." I closed the door but his foot stopped it. He kicked the door open slightly, not hitting me. He moved in and closed it behind him. "What the hell are you doi-" His hand covered my mouth. He removed his glasses and hat with his free hand.

"Hey, hey. It's okay, it's just me." He brought his index finger up to his lips as he removed his hand from my mouth.

"Liam?" I looked at him in disbelief.

"I got your message. And to tell you the truth." His face inched closer to mine. "I want you too." His lips brushed against mine slightly. I pressed my toes on the floor making my lips crash against his making sparks shiver across my body. And thus sharing our fist kiss.
