I laid in bed and stared up at the ceiling. I could see movement in Liam’s' room and I could tell that he was either pacing or trying to get my attention. I sighed as I turned and stared at the door-remembering my argument with Will.
We got out of the car and Will was rushing into the house. I jogged after him. I could tell he was upset.
“Will? What's wrong?”
I asked as I closed the door behind me. He turned around to face me and I felt a chill travel down my spine. He had never looked at me like that before.
“What's wrong is that you seem to mess everything up. We've barely been here a week and you're already on everyone's bad side. You are just as obsessed with perfection as Mum is and you don't seem to care who you hurt in the process of getting it. And I finally found someone who might be able to replace Lexi. And you go ahead and call her a b***h and humiliate her in front of the whole school. Don't you have a heart?”
He snapped and I took a step back and I felt my back collide with the door.
I watched as realization crossed his features and soon after-regret.
“Liv, I-”
“Save it.”
I made my way past him and did my best to ignore the prickling feeling behind my eyelids.
I haven't left my room since I got in here and I finished every possible thing that I could do. I've been laying in bed for about an hour and I still couldn't fall asleep.
I heard my phone vibrate and I picked it up to see an unknown number calling.
I answered since I had nothing better to do at the moment.
“Liv?”
“Liam?”
I sat upright in disbelief and true as God he was sitting on his bed staring into my room with his phone pressed to his ear.
“Your brother phoned me. He says you two had an argument and you don't want to open your door.”
He stated and I sighed as I laid down again but this time with my head at the end of the bed and my feet by my pillows so that I could see Liam.
“It's a long story.”
Was all I said. I saw him shrug before he got comfortable as well.
“We have time.”
“It's just... Will and I have been through a lot and the things he said today... They hurt. I never expected him to think that of me... And... And...”
I viciously wiped at the tears that were starting to leak out.
“You must think I'm pathetic. I shouldn't be bothering you with my problems.”
I stated and I saw him stand up and grab something before his light switched off.
“Liv. You are not pathetic and right now you are the only one feeling sorry for yourself. Whatever happened between you and your brother... You will make it through it. If he cared enough to call me-someone he hates because he thinks I'm somehow going to break your heart-then he really is worried.”
He stated and I sighed as I stared up at the ceiling again.
“But... He shouldn't have snapped at me.”
Was all I said and once again, Liam sighed. I could tell that he was slightly annoyed with the fact that I was holding a grudge when he was trying to help.
“We all snap sometimes. Some of us just take longer than others.”
I closed my eyes as I felt a tear role down my temple. I couldn't do this....
I hung up the phone and put it back on my bedside table before I drifted to sleep.
“Now, now, Olivia. This is no way to treat an old friend.”
I froze when I heard his voice and I felt a chill go down my spine. It was him. Of all people it was him...
I struggled against his hold, but his arm held my arms to my body in a death hold.
Will started struggling and I saw a sheen in his eyes and I knew what he was going to do to me...
Why he was back...
I started crying and fighting, but as suspected, he laughed as his grip around my body tightened.
“How about we go to your room?”
He whispered and I started crying harder but I felt a hard smack against my cheek despite the fact that he was behind me.
I felt him tie a cloth around my mouth and I tried screaming, but it was no use.
I fell off the bed and laid there for a few moments before I had calmed down.
There was sweat coating my body and I could feel moisture collected in my eyes.
I got up and noticed that it was still a complete hour before I was supposed to get up.
Great...
Just great...
