DELILAH "Hey, what took you so long?" I question Liam who looks at me strangely, like he has something to hide. I smile approaching him slowly and wrapping my arms around his neck. He doesn't return the smile making me pull back. “Delilah, something is going to happen and I can't tell you what it is. I need you to trust me though okay?""Trust you? What are you talking about Liam? You're scaring me." "I can't say much okay? I'm not going to be able to see you or talk to you for a while. And things are going to be hard.""What are you talking about? We're going on our honeymoon tomorrow.""No. You and Tess are going. I have to stay here and handle a few things. Okay?" He kisses me on the lips quickly and then looks away. "I love you Dels. Just remember that okay?" He turns and walks out of my room leaving me a confused mess. What the hell just happened? Tessa tumbles into the room minutes later looking just as confused as I am. "What in the world is going on Lilah?" She sits next t

TESSA"Hey Lilah. I'll meet you by the pool in a minute ok?" I say grabbing my phone and beach bag as she hops onto the elevator and puts her sunglasses on. We've been lucky to avoid any paparazzi while we've been here. I think they are all in LA following Liam and his trashy new girlfriend around. We've seen dozens of pictures daily of him with her. I swear the next time I see that boy I'm kicking him straight in the balls. The weirdest part about it all is that he doesn't look happy with her. I don't get it. Tyler picks up the call on the second ring. "Hey Tessa. How are things going there?" He asks like we’re still friends. Fuck that. He’s clearly chosen the she devils side. "I'm not calling to chitchat. Okay?" I say perhaps a bit too harshly. "Okay. What's up?" He replies nervously. He should be. "Someone should be delivering some paperwork to Liam today. I need you to make sure he signs it and gets them back to Lilah's dad.""Tessa, what kind of papers?" He asks hurriedly. "

TYLER"Hey Man." I approach him cautiously. I’m not surprised to see that he’s with Alexandria again. The chick barely lets him out of her sight. It’s so annoying. "Can I talk to you for a moment in private?" I ask and notice he looks at her, silently asking for permission. Weird. "Sure." She says. "I was just headed to the ladies room to powder my nose anyway. Make it quick okay baby?" She kisses him on the lips and I swear he cringes before nodding. "So these came for you." I say handing him the paperwork from Delilah. He looks at the papers confused. "What is this?" He asks. "Tessa asked me to make sure you sign them and get them to Delilah's dad. He'll take care of the rest. No need to drag this out and hurt her anymore than you already have." I say pointedly."She wants a divorce?" He asks astonished and I can't help but laugh at how dumbfounded he is. "Of course she does. What did you think would happen? You sent her on your honeymoon with someone else while you parade aroun

LIAM"You're not trying hard enough. People are still saying they like her better than me." Alexandria whines at me while we're approaching the red carpet. I notice Taylor approaching with some of Delilah's friends and brace for impact. "You've moved on quickly." Taylor scrunches her nose up at me in disapproval as her squad files in around us. Alexandria pulls me closer to her if that's even possible. I frown, wanting to beg someone to get me away from this psycho. Can they not see that I clearly am here against my will?"What do you mean?" Alexandria flips her hair behind her shoulders. "Liam has been into me since we met last year. Isn't that right Liam?" She narrows her eyes at me and Taylor scowls. I nod unenthusiastically. Can someone please get me away from this psycho? "Okay then." Taylor looks between us questioningly. "We should hang out sometime, Taylor." Alexandria states. "If Liam will let me out of his sight." She chuckles at her own joke as we all stare at her blankly

DELILAH "What are you doing here?" I ask Liam after finding him lingering outside my door. "Hey Dels. I came to see you obviously." He smiles at me and I frown back at him. Does he really think he can just show up here and pretend like nothing happened?"You didn't sign the divorce papers Liam." "I don't want a divorce." He states calmly."I do." I deadpan and Liam frowns in return. He looks heartbroken, but I refuse to fall for his bullshit this time around. "You don't Dels. Not really. You love me and I love you. We're supposed to be together." He states stepping towards me just as Zack opens the door to leave my room. "Oh, I didn't know you had company." He says trying to hide the pain from his eyes. He looks at me, his eyes full of betrayal. "I'll see you later Delilah, yeah?" Zack asks and I nod as he kisses my cheek and walks away. "I asked you to trust me Dels. It's barely been a month and you have a guy in your room?" Liam frowns. "I did this for you.""You’re one to tal

DELILAHMy mom used to call these blue bird days. The sun is shining and there's not a single cloud in the sky. I look over to Tess to see what she wants to do today. "Why don't we get brunch by the pool?" She answers, "Then we can walk to the pier for a bit before you meet Zack for mini golf later?" "About that. Liam's here." I mention casually. I’m still in disbelief myself. The idiot really messed things up this time. "When did that happen?" Tessa's expression is unreadable. "He showed up last night as Zack was leaving. Didn't seem too thrilled to see him in my room." "But nothing happened with Zack right?" Tessa furrows her brows at me. "Of course not, but Liam doesn't need to know that. He wouldn't sign the paperwork either.""He loves you." She states matter of factly."Psshhh. He has a funny way of showing it then.""You're not serious right now are you? He wasn't really with her. He was trying to protect you. Of course he probably could have thought it through a little bet

LIAM"Of course I want to join you." I tell Delilah while shooting her my sexiest smile. If that doesn't make her warm up to me I'm not sure what else will. It usually turns girls into puddles, but Dels has been harder for me to entice these days. Maybe that has something to do with my agreeing to date Alexandria instead of coming clean about her blackmailing me.Delilah shakes her head and grabs her phone from the table, standing up and straightening her skirt. "As friends, Liam. We can hang out as friends." I raise my eyebrow at her in challenge. "Dels, enlighten me, when has being just friends ever worked out for us?" I stand up too, making it a point to be much more in her personal space than necessary. "You know the chemistry between us is too strong for that to work out."She places her hand on my chest and lets out a tiny chuckle. "Maybe so, but I'm officially friend zoning you anyway." She walks ahead of me cutting down a path near the beach that heads towards the pier. Tessa

DELILAH We are sitting on the balcony of my suite watching the sunset over the turqouise blue water below. Seagulls are flying about in droves chasing after a small child with french fries running down the beach. "I'll be back guys. I need to go pickup Tyler. His plane just landed." Tessa smiles at me before hopping out of her chair beside me and straightening her top. She quickly checks her reflection in the glass door behind us. Not that she needs to Tess is classically flawless, long blonde hair, blue eyes and sunkissed skin. Tyler doesn't stand a chance."Tyler's here? I didn't realize that he was coming." I look at Liam accusingly as Tessa quickly scurries out the door to pickup Tyler from the airport, leaving Liam and I alone on the balcony. "Of course he came. I needed my wingman after all." "Your wingman?" I repeat slowly. "Why would you need a wingman?" He scowls, eyeing me cautiously, "Oh I don't know. Maybe because my wife has decided to date the bar staff while we're

DELILAH I’m not sure of the exact moment that I realized I wanted Liam Anderson to be mine forever. It could have been on the beach when we would collect shells and build castles when I was 6. I remember thinking that his smile reminded me of sunshine and I couldn’t control the butterflies when he would unleash it on me.Or it could’ve been the times we snuck out in fifth grade to catch lightning bugs in jars or when we’d sneak some of moms freshly baked cookies before dinner. It could’ve been any of the numerous times he had my back if the other kids at school teased me. It could’ve been the time in middle school when we held hands or when he saved me from having to do 7 minutes in heaven with Gavin in 7th grade. Liam has always been such a large part of my life. Staring at him up on stage now, I try to think of what my life would be like in ten years if Liam wasn’t in it. A tear slips down my cheek as I realize that’s not the life that I want. The guys have just finished playing th

LIAM "Are you two officially back together?" A reporter chirps shoving her recorder in our faces after we just finished filming a segment for the live show. I look at Delilah, wondering what she's thinking as I reply, "We're still working things out." Dels frowns at my response as the reporter steps in closer. "That's too bad. So who will you be kissing at midnight then?" She asks winking at me and stepping in closer. "I'm free." She mentions, raising a brow at Dels. I'm not sure if that comment was meant for me or Delilah at this point, but I'm not taking any chances. I take Delilah's hand and thread my fingers with hers before quickly responding. "I can say with certainty that if I'm not kissing this amazing girl at midnight, I most definitely will not be kissing anyone else." I look hopefully into those honey brown eyes that I love so much to see if she feels the same way. "I don't know," she teases coyly, but her eyes are telling me that she agrees with me completely.

DELILAH I haven't heard from Liam at all today, which is strange considering he was all over me last night. I've been replaying last nights events in my mind and I don't remember anything happening that would have made him upset with me. It's New Years Eve and we are supposed to be hosting a party together in a few hours. I'm hoping it won't be awkward but at this point I'm pretty annoyed that he hasn't even attempted to talk to me or even sent me a text after sneaking out of my room early this morning. He must have changed his mind.After spending an hour with hair and makeup Tessa and I are all dolled up and ready for tonight's shenanigans. The event is being held on top of a fancy hotel in Time's Square. The place is decked out in gold trimmed everything, looking extremely extravagant and festive. When we arrive the guys are already testing out their microphones and chatting with the camera crew. Liam notices me first nodding in my direction, but makes no attempt to talk to me. T

DELILAH A knock on the door wakes me from my drunken slumber. I roll over and notice that Liam's not in the bed anymore and all of his belongings are gone. Strange. I could have swore he stayed the night. Why would he sneak out in the middle of the night without saying bye? Did I do something to upset him? I climb out of bed and make my way to the door cracking it open to see who is knocking."Hey Tessa. Why are you waking me up so early?" I grumble. "It's not early Lilah. It's almost noon. You need to shower and get ready to host the New Years Eve party." She smiles at me, before glancing around the room in confusion. "Is Liam not here? I thought you two made up last night." "I guess he didn't come back with me last night. I'm not sure, things are a bit hazy." "Huh, well anyway you need to get showered and then we can grab some brunch before we head over to the party." I nod and head to the bathroom to get ready. Maybe a hot shower will help me remember last nights events a bit b

DELILAHWe sat at the bar for hours tossing back shots and drinking together before I finally got the nerve to ask him on our way to my room. "Was that little stunt you pulled tonight completely necessary?" I cock my eyebrow and pucker my lips as I wait to hear him explain his actions earlier. "I wasn't running off.""I'm sorry babe. You weren't where you said you'd be and I saw you by the exit and I don't know. I just panicked." His words slurring a bit as he runs his hand through his hair and then takes my hand in his and squeezes. "I thought you were taking off and I reacted before thinking. I'm sorry."I shake my head at him playfully. "You owe me big time, calling me out in front of all those fans and celebrities." I continue walking down the lit corridor until we arrive at my room. I turn toward him to see him awkwardly standing with his hands in his pockets, unsure of his next move. Smiling I reach for my room key in my bag and take it out to tap it against the lock. "Well, thi

LIAM The huge rush that I get when I walk out onto the stage for a show never gets old. My adrenaline is pumping when I look out into the crowd and it's only heightened when I feel her brown eyes on me from the side of the stage. I turn my head raking my eyes over her one last time before I have to divert my attention to the crowd of people screaming our names in front of me. I'll have her screaming my name later. Damn, she looks so good tonight, I could eat her. There is actually nothing that I'd rather do at the moment. I feel myself getting more excited than I need to be in front of all these people and give her a wink before forcing myself to pull my eyes off her. "Hey New York! Are you ready to party? How about we play you some tunes?" My questions are immediately answered with cheers, whistling, and camera flashes as I put the microphone back into the stand and swing my guitar around to begin playing. "Alright then. My boys are a bit hungover from last night, so let's show the

DELILAH Before I realize it, Liam has me pinned between his hard body and the bar. His lips just inches away from mine. "What if I don't want you to kiss me?" I ask coyly glancing from his hazel eyes back to his soft lips. I so want him to kiss me right now. My heart is pounding in my chest and I wonder if he can tell just how badly I want it.Liam's breath hitches as he leans in, "Dels," he whispers, his voice husky. My knees feel shaky and I'm pretty sure that if it weren't for the bar behind me, I'd be a puddle of mush on the floor by now. His lips barely graze mine and as I lean in to close the distance he pulls back, his eyes full of mischief. My jaw drops and I stare at him in disbelief. I can barely form a coherent sentence. "Wha... Why did you pull away?" I manage to mutter as he eyes me amused."You said you didn't want me to kiss you. I was just following orders." He places his hands on my hips, his fingers caressing the exposed part of my back where my dress dips down low.

LIAM"Are you sure she's coming tonight?" I ask Ty for the hundredth time impatiently tapping my foot on the tile floor.He nods, a sympathetic smile on his face. "Tessa said they'd be here. You know how they are. They are probably still getting ready. You should have a drink and relax. You're not doing yourself any favors getting all wound up like this."I roll my eyes at him, "Easy for you to say. You're not the one in love with someone who's constantly running away from you. I need some kind of tracking device for her." I joke and Ty raises his brows at me questioningly. "I'm not sure that joke would go over well." He states glancing around the room. These celebrity parties are always well attended and tonight is no different. Dozens of actors, musicians, and celebrities mingling together to bring in the New Year. "Don't look now, but they just walked in." He whispers his eyes motioning behind me. Of course I do exactly what he says not to do and my eyes instantly lock with her go

DELILAH "Are you sure you don't want to go to the Stones shoot today?" Tessa asks me hesitantly for the fifth time in an hour. "Of course I'm sure. That would be so incredibly awkward. We both know what kind of questions they would ask and we both know what kind of photos they are after. I can't even manage to send him a text to apologize. There's no way I'd make it through the interview." I explain again. Tessa frowns, "You should just talk to him Lilah. You're both suffering and you don't have to be. You know he will forgive you.""You don't understand." She keeps pressuring me to try to talk to him, but I was such a bitch that night. I didn't even give him a chance to explain. He's better off without me. I'm sure he's found someone to distract himself with by now anyway. I check my phone again and there's a message from my dad, but still no word from him. He must be over my bullshit. He hasn't even tried to call or text me since the party on Christmas Eve. I can't really blame
