Aurora's POV
I wake up slowly due to the bright lights in the room. I let my eyes adjust and I see Liam sleeping in a chair next to me. I see that the blinds to the room are shut though. I try to talk but I can't due to my mouth being so dry. I try again, "Liam." I say groggily. He wakes up really fast at the sound of my voice.
"Auri!" He rushes to my bedside and leans down and gives me a kiss. "How are you feeling?"
"Like a million bucks" I say and start to laugh which leads to a cough. "Where's Chasity?"
"Rose and Harry offered to watch her." He asks me.
"What happened?" I ask.
"You were shot, right in front of my eyes Auri. I almost lost you. I can't let this happen again"
"Like you can do anything to prevent things like this. You aren't God you know."
"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." Liam lays his head on the side of the bed.
"Hey sweetie, it isn't your fault at all." I say as I lift his head to look at me. I see his eyes are swelling up with tears.
"Yes it is. None of this would have happened if I just stayed home, or if I wasn't famous, or if I answered my phone, or if I made sure that security knew who you were." A tear escapes his eye. I wipe it away quickly.
"No, none of this would have happened if the girl wasn't psychotic. Besides how could a girl not be crazy about you. I mean I am." I pull his head to mine to give him a kiss.
"I don't want you to get hurt anymore. I always cause so much trouble and pain. Maybe it will be for the best if we just stop this while it is still new." Liam says as he walks away from my bed and goes to the corner of the room.
"Come back here! I can't go chasing after you right now. I just got done with surgery." He walks back to my side. "Okay now listen here. I LOVE you, I am not going anywhere and neither are you. We are staying together this time, things aren't as simple as they were okay. Think about Chasity, do you really want her to resent you because you were never there for her or me?"
"I will visit her, and I can still be a father if we aren't together." Liam says trying to back away to the corner again, this time I let him.
I tears start to form in my eyes. "What about me?" I ask.
"What about you? This is going to be better for you. You don't have to worry about crazy fans or the press anymore."
"No, no, it is going to be worse for me. I can't do this distant game again." Tears start to roll down my face. "I can't be without you anymore. I need you more than you think. I can't go through a break up with you again. Last time, the only way for me to function was if I listened to your music or I would watch interviews of you. Even then, when I couldn't just call and talk to you about everything it killed me."
"If what you are saying is true then how did you never call?" He asks obviously curious.
"Because I love you!"
"That isn't a reason."
"I knew that you were better without me, but now I realize that no matter how much you actually deserve better, I can't function enough without you to take care of two lives because I could barely take care of one. You are not allowed to leave me for my own good because from my point of view, you are exactly what I need for my own good." I am sobbing now. I am too tired to move so I just let the tears roll as they may.
Liam comes over and wipes my face off "Okay" that was all he said.
"Okay what?" I ask confused.
"Okay I will never leave you, no matter what. I don't think you will even understand how this is possible but, I love you more than you love me." He says as he leans down to kiss me.
"Not even close." I say back to him with a smile. "Why are the blinds closed?" I ask.
"Oh, yea when word got out that someone was shot in front of Sony Music, and that it was the mother of Baby Direction, the hospital started swarming with paparazzi. There is no way you are getting out of here without a picture."
"Oh, well you should let them in I have something to tell them." I say.
"Now?" He asks
"Yes, I have to clear something up."
Liam opens the door and a bunch of people rush in. I try sit up in bed and all the cameras are snapping. There was a flurry of questions that I couldn't hear. I clear my throat.
"I need to inform everyone that the Editor in Chief of People Magazine was so wrong that she should be sued for such accusations, but luckily I am above suing for an honest mistake. The reason that it seemed that I don't love Liam is that I am not a fan of the press, so when Liam told me we have to do an interview and a photo shoot with our child, who I don't want to be corrupted by media, I was mad and sour the entire day. That does not mean that I don't love Liam. He is my best friend and the love of my life. I could not imagine life without him. So if anyone thinks that he doesn't deserve me, they are probably right but let him decide for himself, and just get out of our love life. That is all" I say and the paparazzi got really quiet then they just left. Just like that. It is nice for them to be finally off my back. I lay back down on the bed. The pain in my stomach is terrible, and I am exhausted.
"You never surprise me." Liam says as he sits in the chair by the bed.
"You knew I was going to do that?" I ask him, because I didn't know I was even going to do that until I did.
"Yep, I know everything about you, which makes me love you even more." Liam gives me a kiss. "Get some rest you need it" He tells me and my eyes slowly droop and I fall asleep.
