What are these feelings? (open)

[Belle Roberts]

She bit her lip, starting to somehow realize that her feelings were growing and it was scaring her. But, if she could keep it in the back of her mind, then their friendship could keep growing. After all, she couldn't have anything else. Relationships weren't her thing. Besides which, he thought that he was in love with another girl, or more then one girl, whatever.

"Well um, I hope you figure it out with your girls," she said.

"I should go," she added, not really wanting to though, and that was part of what scared her.

"I'll see you around?" she asked hopefully. Though actually apart of her was screaming at her to run and run far away from him so that she couldn't feel anything for him.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam seemed to snap into focus, but looked down a little. "Y-Yeah...I hope so too." he said, in a somewhat disheartned tone. He knew that his emotions were growing aswell and he then heard her say that she should go. He didn't want her to leave, but he didn't wish to prevent her from doing what she wanted. "I-I guess.." he said to her asking that she'll see him around. As Belle was beginning to leave, Liam could not help himself. "W-Wait" he said, somewhat in a sad, yet hopeful tone. If someone else were to see this, it would seem like Liam was falling for Belle, and not just a crush, but actually falling for her.

[Belle Roberts]

She nodded as he said that he hoped so too. She couldn't help but feel sad at his response to her question asking if she'd see him around. She took it as an unenthusiastic response. So she took it as saying that he didn't really want to see her anymore. But she couldn't entirely blame him. I mean, she had cried into his chest.

As she reached the door-knob she heard him ask her to wait. She turned around to face him again.

"Yes?" she asked, her heart beating faster, and she had no clue why. She was really cursing these feelings. She was scared to death.

[Liam McAdam]

As Belle turned to face him, he hugged her, although this was a loving hug, he was crying softly. He didn't want to be away from her. "I don't know what is what anymore.." he started, his tears running down his face, regardless of his eyes shut tightly. "My heart..it's toying with me...I've never felt like this before...It's starting to scare me...please..help.." he practically begged, crying into her shoulder. His emotions for Belle seemed to have erased the emotions for Simone and Kadie. He was scared of his emotions now and was asking for Belle's help.

[Belle Roberts]

She was surprised when he hugged her, and he was crying softly. Her arms went around him, though she herself was shaking a little bit. She was scared, so scared. She'd never felt like this for anyone, and she wasn't so sure what to make of it. She misunderstood his words though.

"You've never felt like this for the girls you were talking about?" she asked.

"I can help you pick one, if that's what's scaring you," she said softly, though it hurt. She didn't want him to pick those girls, she wanted him to pick her. But how could she want that when she wasn't so sure that she was ready for anything? Relationships scared her. But she knew that his feelings for those girls were hurting her.

However, she had promised to be there for him. And if that was just as a friend, she'd deal with it. Her arms tightened around him as she felt tears of her own slip down her cheeks.

[Liam McAdam]

"N-No...It's not them...who have me feeling like this..." he said honestly, though his own crying. He was too nervous to tell her immediately, but it was her that he had felt such strong feelings for.

[Belle Roberts]

She finally understood what he meant, and for some reason it made her angry.

"Liam, how can you think that I make you feel a certain way when just a few minutes ago you thought that you were in love with more then one chick?" she asked angrily.

"What if you're wrong about feeling this way for me? I can't go through that."

"I don't want to explain my feelings for you either. I've never felt this way about anyone before but it scares me okay, and I really don't like you right now because of that fact. Because you make me feel things that I'm not supposed to feel," she admitted.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam heard her anger and was surprised and confused. He could not open his eyes however. "I...I know this feeling is different...It is not...just a simple crush...It feels alot stronger.." he said, not sure how to word it. He could not control his breathing, which resulted in his left lung being aggrivated and in turn, he hugged her tighter, both out of his confusion, and out of his pain.

[Belle Roberts]

She was scared at his words. Scared because she felt the same way, and her anger was pretty much just a cover-up, because she didn't want to deal with it.

"I'm scared," she finally said softly as she let him hold her tightly.

"I can't easily trust people. I trust you but...............I don't know if I can trust these feelings," she admitted softly. She held him tightly though not wanting to let go. She pulled back though and kissed his cheek, shaking a little. She was confused yes, but as he held her, it started going away a bit.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam couldn't open his eyes until he had been surprised by Belle's kiss on his cheek. He felt the place she kissed heat up as his cheeks turned a shade of red. He now knew that both of them were scared of their emotions, but he had promised he would be there for her. He hesitantly moved and kissed her cheek gently, both to return the kiss she gave him, and to tell her that he would always be there for her.

[Belle Roberts]

She remembered her promise too. And though she was really scared, she somehow knew that she needed him in her life. He kissed her cheek and the butterflies erupted. Being scared was slowly fading away, and though she wasn't so sure if she should trust this new feeling, she couldn't exactly run from it either.

So, hesitantly she reached forward and kissed his jawline, wondering at herself. She was never ever this bold. She pulled back giving him a dazzling smile.

"Let's just figure it out together, okay?" she asked as she gently took his hand intertwining her fingers with his.

[Liam McAdam]

As Liam seemed to end the tears in his eyes, he felt Belle's lips press against his jawline and he felt butterflies erupt aswell. He soon felt her hand hold his and their fingers started to intertwine. He looked into her eyes and listened to her speak. "It's a promise.." he replied before hesitantly kissing her jawline. He was very nervous, this was the closest he ever was to a girl. Not just physically, but emotionally.

[Belle Roberts]

Belle was nervous too. She hadn't allowed herself to get this close to a guy, not ever. And that was because of her stupid father that was now rotting in prison thanks to her.

She smiled as he said that it was a promise. She laid her head on his chest, her arms tightening around him, and she felt safe for the first time in her whole life. Tears once again started spilling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe that this was happening to her. But she was actually okay with it.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam smiled aswell, yet his heart began beating faster when she had rested her head on his chest and her arms tightened around him. It was becoming more painful to breath, yet he ignored this and did not show any signs of being hurt. He noticed the tears running down her face and brought one of his fingers to her face and wiped them away gently.

[Belle Roberts]

She sighed as the tears subsided a little.

"Liam, we hardly know anything about each other, so how can we possibly............" she trailed off. She should just stop questioning this period.

Her hold loosened though, and she pulled away.

"We should probably go back soon," she whispered, though she really didn't want to.
