His Light (Perryfield Series - Novel 1)

Chapter 2 - The Break Up

Liam’s POV

My eyes are directly looking at Nelly. I still keep remembering what she asked me today before Taylor got into the car. And to be honest I really don’t know why Im with Taylor. Do I like her? Sure! But I like all my friends too. Do I LOVE her? No! No I don’t. At the end of the day it’s social pressure. Almost like the Captain of the football team HAS to date the Captain of the Cheerleading squad. I’ve been with her for 9 months and not once have I felt any sparks for her. My gaze goes back to Nelly and Carter.

Carter is kissing her and for a moment I think she’s looking directly at me. I brush it off. Suddenly I hear Taylor’s obnoxious laugh and I’m brought back to reality.

I lean towards Taylor’s ear.

And whisper to her “Let’s go into Matt’s parents room.”

She grabs my hand and leads the way. We’ve been in their room before. That’s where Matt’s send everyone to make out. And has we’re making our way to go up the stairs I take one last look at Penelope. She’s standing beside the rose bushes with Carter.

“Have fun guys!” We hear behind us.

Taylor and I make our way to the top of the stairs and head straight to the last door on the left. I walk in before her and before I know it I hear the click of the door. She locked the door behind us.

She makes her way towards me and jumps in my arms and starts kissing me. Im caught by surprise and stumple behind into the bed. She’s now on top of me, kissing me and removing my shirt.

“Tay!” I quickly say trying to move her hands. But she thinks im trying to make it more kinky for her by holding her. She finally manages to take my shirt off and she’s going down kissing my chest. She puts her hand on my pants and she’s about to unzip them when I grab her hands.

“Taylor enough!” im irrated by her. “I didn’t come upstairs to make out.”

She leans back into me “No we came upstairs so we can finally f*ck!”

Now I’m super pissed off at her and shoves her to the side “F*ck Taylor, I said enough! We didn’t come upstairs to make out or f*ck. We need to talk!” I quickly tell her.

At this point she’s just sitting there quietly while I put my shirt back on. I’ve been wanting to do this for quite a while now and Penelope gave me the push I needed this afternoon. I sigh and just like that I told Taylor I was done.

“Taylor! I’m sorry to say that this between the both of us is over. We’ve been together for almost 9 months now...” I can see the misbelief in her eyes. I continued “…and to be honest I don’t think it’s going anywhere.” Before I could finish up, Taylor gets up and walks towards the door and turns around.

“Liam! Your going to regret this. How about you go f*ck yourself.” And just like that she was gone.

I sigh and fell into the bed for a brief moment until someone caught my attention.

“Hey dude! If your not going to use the room we will!”

“Knock yourself out man” I walked out and made myself down the stairs and grabbed a drink from the bar and made my way to the backyard to find my friends, where I spotted Spencer and the boys. That’s when my eyes went to Nelly and heard the commotion happening between her and Carter. Can this really be happening? Both of us single on the same night? I was going to make my way towards them to break it up but Haley beat me to it and whispered something to them.

That’s when Carter got extremely mad and yelled.

“I don’t give a flying f*ck about making a scene.”

Penelope’s POV

Carter and I made our way to the rose bush. He started kissing my neck and putting his hand on my br*asts.

“Carter, please not here. Please stop.” I whispered to him.

But he didn’t care he just kept on doing it. That’s when he leaned and whispered in my ear “I’m going to f*ck you so hard tonight baby.”

My eyes went big and all I could think was how I really wanted to break up with him right about now.

“Carter please no! We need to talk.” I added

“F*ck talking! Let’s go deeper into the bushes and have some fun babe.” Now he was scaring me. He has never been this aggressive with me. I get it though, we’ve been dating for 8 months and we’ve only kissed and have done things with our hands but that was the most.

“F*ck Carter! I said no!” I shouted. That’s when I noticed that we got the attention of a few more people around us. “I said I wanted to talk.” I whispered to him.

“Talk? Talk about what?” he shouted at me

“Carter we need to end this. Your expecting way to much from me and you know Im not ready. I don’t love you.” I said while looking down at my feet now.

“Your f*cking kidding me right?” he stops and stairs at me and adds “Your breaking up with me?”

At this point we have the attention of everyone in the backyard and some from inside. I really didn’t want to make a scene.

“Please Carter! Keep your voice down. We’re attracting peoples attention.”

“You know what Penny? I really don’t give a d*mn. Well if we're going to be honest, Ive been cheating on you for the past few months.” To think I would be surprised, Im not but others around are. I can hear some whispers around us. That’s when I get a glimpse at Liam walking towards my brother, Spencer but bring my eyes back to Carter quickly not to attract more trouble.

“I bet there’s nothing you can say about that? Huh b*itch!” Carter added. “Please Carter, stop!” I mutter.

I see Haley making her way towards us and I don’t think it’s her greatest idea but this girl would do absolutely anything to save me.

“I think you both need to walk away from eachother. Go your way Carter. Everyone is watching. Your making a scene” Haley whispered to us.

“I don’t give a flying f*ck about making a scene.” Carter yelled back at Haley. He shrugged his shoulder on me and walked out the backyard and made his way into the house.

When Carter is finally out of sight I make my way into the house and into the bathroom. I’m about to close and lock the door when a foot stops the door and I recognize Haley’s shoes. I quickly let her in and lock the door behind her.

I make my way to the sink and stare at myself in the mirror and just like that a few tears falls down. Hals leans in and hugs me from the back.

“You did it Penny! You did it and Im so proud of you.” She eventually says out of excitement. I turn around to face her and start hugging her.

“Oh my god! Im finally free from Carter. I still can’t believe he made such a big scene.” I then tell her.

“Im not! Remember Becca? That poor thing got spit on by him. Dude was so drunk. You should have learn from that.” I have totally forgotten about Carter dating Becca. Im so happy I had Haley around to save me from Carter’s craziness.

“Now you are single and you need to go show off that dress of yours. Let’s go have some fun!” Hals added.

I wash my hands, unlock the door and we made our way out of the door and back into the backyard. My brother waved to me and we started walking towards them.

I hear one of friends say “Dude that was brutal.”

I quickly join in “What? My breakup with Carter? Nah! Not at all.” We all started laughing. My brother nudged me from the side.

“Are you okay?” Spencer asks

“Now I am!” I quickly replied with a smile. On the corner of my eyes I saw Liam looking at me. Without hesitation I looked at him. We both smiled and at the same time we said “Hi”.

It was a couple of hours later, close to midnight when I went up to Haley and told her I was heading home. I was extremely exhausted. Haley wasn’t ready to leave. She had started a conversation with Lucas Nabbs about how Jennifer Hudson got rigged and only finished 7th on American Idol.

I was on my way to the door when I noticed Carter was having a make out session with none other than our school sl*t, Alicia Pratt. That was definitely my cue to head out.

I made my way to the front door and started walking home. I had about a 20 minute walk from Matt’s house to mine. As Im walking I also realized I haven’t seen Liam in a while. I would be walking in front of his house. The perfect opportunity to see if the light in his room was on.

Liam’s POV

After all the excitement I was finally having some fun. Having a few drinks. I looked down at my watched and noticed it was 11:40 and I felt like bailing out right about now. Before I even have the chance to say buy to my friends my phone starts to ding with messages. To my surprise they are all from Taylor.

“Baby! Im so drunk right now.”

“Please don’t break up with me.”

“I need you right now.”

“I’m making my way to your place.”

“Ill be there in about 15 minutes.”

And just like that I waved at my friends and made my way to my place. After a few minutes I spotted Taylor in front of my driveway.

“Taylor, you need to go home.” I tell her

“No! I'm not going anywhere until you give me a better explanation. You can’t just break up with me. I'm Taylor freaken Bates " Taylor yelled at me.

This is definitely going to be a long night!
