Shadowbrook

I have been having a bad week, but also a good week. I've been going on dates with my charming knight in shining armor and a fedora Harry. That was the good part. The bad part was having to show Liam Payne around town, and he had been just awful. But not it was Saturday, and I could relax and play laser tag with Harry.

We stood in a room with multicolored lights and it was like this apocalyptic setting and Harry winked at me, and I felt my insides melt. He was going to destroy me.

"The game begins." Said a robotic voice. "In 5..."

"Good luck." Harry said.

"4."

"You too." I said, shaking slightly.

"3..."

"If I win I want a kiss." He said.

"2..."

"I want five dollars." I muttered and he laughed.

"...1."

There was a bright flash of light and I threw up my hands to cover my face and when I lowered them, Harry was gone, and there was only the sound of the bad disco music and my heavy breathing.

Raising my gun, I began to walk slowly around the room. "Haaaarrryyyyy, come out and plaaaaaayyy." I chimed, smiling and that's when the first of the lasers came and I ducked, hiding behind a rusty car with the doors, wheels and windows missing.

"Jaaaamiiiiie." Harry chimed from somewhere in the room, but I could feel him getting closer. "Come out and plaaaaaayyy."

I darted out from the car and began shooting at a certain payphone and Harry ran out from behind me, shooting at me and I jumped, rolling which absorbed most of the impact and I landed behind a bus bench.

He opened fire at the bus bench but it held just enough for cover.

"You are out of ammo." Said a robotic voice coming from my gun. "The maximum wait is ten seconds."

"No!" I cried out.

"Damn!" I heard Harry shout and I assumed that he had run out of ammo too.

I peeked from under the bench to see him charging at the bench, his gun hanging from his belt due to some magnetic thing and I screamed, trying to run but he caught up with me, grabbing my arm and pulling me back, laughing and kneejerk reaction, I stomped on his foot hard.

He cried out and I heard a buzzing noise from my gun the same time one came from his but he was still reeling from my foot attack and I shot him twelve times. He was laughing the whole time and so was I, and I was happy it was so easy to have fun with Harry.

I didn't get the five dollars, I didn't want it. Hanging out with Harry was enough.



When we left the arcade, still laughing, Harry forgot his wallet and ran back inside to get it before someone stole it. I, however, was getting kissed. I didn't mean for it to happen. Hands just grabbed my shoulders and pulled me close and suddenly lips were on mine, hard and cold.

My eyes widened in surprise and when that person pulled away, it was Liam. His brown eyes looked into mine and he looked back at a girl in the distance and all I could see was she had pretty brown hair and a curvy figure and she shook her head, storming off.

"What the hell?" Harry demanded, stepping out of the arcade and Liam, just having to ruin my life, smirked.

He cleared his throat, putting on a hurt face and shaky voice. "You have been fooled, bro. I am Jamie's boyfriend and this has been happening a lot. I came to see if she was really going to the mall but I should have known better." He looked at me solemnly. "She has no friends."

"Uh, I see." Harry said, his cheeks flushed before he ran off and I didn't bother to chase him, I just stared after him, mouth wide open. Besides, I had words for Liam.

I shoved him, hard. "The hell is your problem?" I hissed. "Why did you say all that and kiss me?" My lips still tingled.

"Trying to make an ex jealous." He said and my mind flashed back to the pretty brunette. "And your mom told me to come find you because she's going to paint the bathroom or something and she needs help."

"Why not ask Arnie?" I muttered, since him and my mom had been spending too much time together in my eyes.

"Huh?" He demanded and I shoved him again.

"None of your business!" I exclaimed. "You had no right to kiss me-"

He picked me up and flung me over his shoulder and I was frozen in shock for a second before I began punching and kicking his back and I did manage to kick him in the stomach and he grunted.

"Do that again," He warned. "and I'll-"

I kicked him again and his grip on the back of my jacket tightened.

"What-what are you doing?" I shouted. "Put me down! Right now! I'm serious! Put me down!" I took to calling for help. "Kidnapper! He's kidnapping me! That's against the law! Help me-"

He opened the car door and threw me in, buckling me in and covering my still screaming mouth with his hand and I beat my fists against his chest.

"Stop hitting me." He growled.

I pulled his hand from my mouth and threw it back at him. "Don't touch me."

He slammed the door and got in the driver's seat, speeding away from the arcade and I scolded myself for giving in so easily.

The drive was quiet, Liam would look over at me occasionally but I was looking out the window to avoid looking at him. He was dressed in all black as usual and has this scowl on his face that made people aware that he was dangerous.

When we finally pulled up to my house, then was when he decided to speak.

"I'm sorry that I-" He began.

"Kidnapped me?" I interrupted angrily. "No problem. I just hope I'm the only one that this has happened to."

"You were being difficult."

"You ruined my date."

He snorted. "With Faggot Curls?"

I hit his arm hard. "Shut up! Don't say that about him. He's a better person than you."

"He left you at the arcade."

"Because you hurt his feelings." I snapped. "That's not anyone's fault but yours. And all because you wanted to make your ex jealous."

He hit the steering wheel hard and a loud honk emitted from the car. "I didn't need to kiss you to make her jealous!" He shouted and I froze, turning to him with wide eyes.

"What?" I demanded in a quiet voice.

He sighed. "I kissed you because I...couldn't help myself."

"What?" That was the only thing that I could say, that I wanted to say, that I needed to say.

"Jamie, I have feelings for you that I can't control. I don't like you but I don't hate you. These feelings aren't strong but they're not weak, and that scares me."

"You? Scared? Damn." I muttered and he rolled his eyes.

He opened them again and as he eyes searched my confused face, they softened and he cupped my face with his, sighing before he leaned in and I raised my hands to ward him off but he was already kissing me.

This time his lips were soft and warm and I didn't know how, but I was kissing him back, and his hands went to my hair, pulling it out of it's ponytail.

He pulled away briefly. "God Jamie, what are you doing to me?"

He leaned back in and I puckered my lips but he pulled away suddenly, a shocked look on his face as if he was horrified by what he'd just done.

"What?" I asked gently. "What is it-"

"Get out." He snapped. "Right now."

"Liam-"

"Now!"

I let a look of hurt flash across my face before I got out of the car, slamming it shut and storming up to the house, slamming the door, hoping not to ever see Liam Payne and his stupid silver car ever again.

Notes

I changed Janie to Jamie because I think it sounds better.

I also plan on writing two chapters a day, so yaaaaaaay!
