ALICE
I feel so bad not being able to help Liam. I look at this man in front of me that once was a brave strong man and now he is sitting in a corner, looking like a scared little boy. My heart feels like it wants to break into a thousand pieces. I do not like how Liam looks right now and I am sure that he does not like himself now either.
I attempt to touch him once again and this time I move much slower. This time my hand reaches for his good leg.
“I am not afraid of you Liam... I know it was an accident"
He allows me to touch his leg but his body starts to shake under my touch. I used to love it when he shakes under my touch but this is not the shake that I want him to have.
LIAM
I watch her as if I am analyzing a tiger that is about to attack me. I guard myself
