I Love to Hate You
Chapter 19
I decided it was the right thing for me to tell Liam that Zayn and I had been fooling around up until the day I confessed my feelings for Liam.
After all, if I wanted to have a relationship with him, I was going to have to be honest. And I expected him to be honest with me. 
I texted Liam and told him that we needed to talk. He agreed, and said he would be over in twenty. Should I go through with this? Yes, I should. 
Nineteen minutes and thirty seven seconds later, I heard a knock on the door. 
"Hey." Liam said once I opened the door and let him into the apartment. 
"Hi." I replied, still kind of mad at him for the whole Britney situation.
"Look, it was a mistake. It really was. Can I just explain?" he asked.
"No. Not yet. There's something important  have to tell you." I said.
"Are you seeing someone else?" he asked, his expression now upset. 
"No. But before I told you how I felt, I was kind of, uh, fooling around with someone." I said. This was going to be awkward. 
"Oh. Uh, was it anyone I know?" he asked, trying to act casual about it. 
"Actually, yeah. It was, um. It was Zayn." I said, biting my lip. 
I couldn't bring myself to look at Liam, but when I finally met his gaze, he looked upset. Angry, maybe. I knew I shouldn't have told him. 
"Y-you were sleeping with Zayn?!" he asked, shocked. 
"You were sleeping with Britney!" I fired back, because I thought he was. 
"What? You actually thought I was getting with Britney? Did you not hear anything I said to you? I told you I was in love with you." he said. 
"Liam, guys lie about their feelings all the time. When Britney came over late a few nights ago, I knew what you were going to do. It's fine, really." I said, even though it wasn't fine. I didn't want Liam and Britney together. 
"I told her to come over, because I was going to end things. I didn't want to do it over a text message, cause only a jerk would do that. But I wasn't going to sleep with her. I felt guilty for using her, and I wanted to apologize." he explained. 
"So you were ending things with her? Ugh, I'm such an idiot!" I screamed. 
"You and Zayn? Really?" he asked, looking hurt. 
"Yeah. He was sweet, he was nice, and he actually cared about me. I was upset because I thought you still hated me, and I was confused. But now I know what I want. I want you, Liam. I want to be with you." I said, pouring my heart out. 
"Yeah, well I'm not sure I want to be with you anymore. I cannot believe you lied to me about you and Zayn." he said. 
"Liam, I didn't lie! We weren't even aware of each others' feelings when Zayn and I were hooking up! Please Liam." I begged. I couldn't lose him.
"Carly, I just don't know if we're right for each other. I think I need time to think." he said, putting his head in his hands and sighing. 
"Liam, you can't just pretend we don't have chemistry. I really like you." I said, on the verge of tears. I didn't want him to go. 
"Carly, I can't do this. I'm sorry." he said, walking out the door. I slumped onto the couch, not believing what just happened. I finally let myself start to like Liam, and once I do, I get let down. Love stinks.
