2021-09-22 23:29:41Liam paced his living room.
He felt confused and exhausted, his shoulders aches too.
Liam have been up all night thinking about Erica and what happened the previous day at the beach.
He had gone there to get some thoughts out of his head but was suprised to see Erica with her sister and friend.
At first he hesitated to approach her for the fear of being embarrassed by her.
He sat on the couch.
The rays of the sun were gradually finding it's way into the living room through the open window.
That did not bother him, the morning was still young and fresh.
He picked up the throw pillow on the couch and clutched tight to the pillow gnashing his teeth in dismay.
He sighed slightly fixing his glare on the mirror sitting on the wall.
"I really cannot afford to give up on Erica just like that, I know I was a fool but I know I can make this right, gush... this was all Joan's fault" he muttered.
It was almost 10:00am.
