' You should have stayed away.' I mumbled to myself as I continually tapped my foot on the floor. I'd been standing in the same spot for some time now, contemplating whether I should go into his hospital room or not. The wait had been torturous but that's all I could do at that very moment, to simply wait. My eyes welled up when the image of an unconscious Liam came to mind. That image had been haunting me on the way to the hospital, and it seemed like it was not done with me yet. I wish I could have done more to warn him. Why did he have to be so stubborn? ' Why Liam, why did you have to be so stubborn?' I felt guilty and sorry. I wished I could tell him right now but I doubt I would be allowed to. 'Ah!' I let out a gasp when I was suddenly jerked around by arm, to face a rather upset Mrs Myers. ' How could you let him risk his life like that Milla? I nearly lost my son because of you!' I wake up with a start, sweating and all. It takes my heart quite a bit of time to calm

Your warm hugs are what I cherish most dad. These are words amongst many, that were meant for him to both hear and see, but he never got the chance to. I remember how excited I was years back when the idea, to gift him a personal notebook came to mind. The notebook would be filled with many things, I have wanted to express to him. In my own way, it would be my personal gratitude letter to him. This idea came about at a time where I felt it truly wasn't enough, to simply say how I felt. Sometimes, written words made all the difference. This gift had been prepared for today. Unfortunately, I won't have the opportunity to physically hand it over to him. 'No matter what, he knew how much I appreciated him.' With a heavy heart, I place it aside before taking one of his framed pictures and hold it against my chest. Emotions have got a hold over me in this moment and I wish it were a different time. The reason for this is downstairs. The Myers. ~~~ Flashback~~~ 'Co

Usually I am the most bothered when it comes to my mom crying. I don't like seeing her hurt or cry, but just today, witnessing her all emotional when she saw William, I understood what the moment meant. Despite the strained silence between our families all these years, mom has held a very special place in her heart for Liam. I'm pretty sure memories with his visits where dad was present, flashed before her eyes as she looked him over. Emotions were expressed in his eyes too and once they embraced each other, they held onto one another for a moment longer before they broke into smiles. His family didn't stay long, therefore he was left alone with us. I was that his mother didn't comment, about him remaining behind. I believe she didn't have much of a choice when he made it pretty clear he would stay. Conversations didn't flow easily at first, because both were not sure on which direction of topic to take. I tried to be the middle man for some time, with the help of Lia ofcourse. Tha

The last errand of the day is the one that has led me, to the Myers residence. My feet had stayed rooted in place, the moment I stood infront of those big gates. My task is really simple, that is why it was last on the list. Or maybe I wanted to delay this as much as possible. 'I try to stay away but something keeps pulling me back here.' It's been days since the last time I was here yet it feels like the first time. And it's been 3 days since I last saw and heard from him. Did I count? No. It simply came to mind. Distance was what I had asked for and he gave me that. Now here I was, in his home. What does that say about me? ' Sorry mom, but you are setting me up again.' 'No, she only asked me to run her an errand. She's innocent in this.' ' I'll do my part and leave. Simple as that.' " Miss Milla?" A female voice startled me, knocking me out of my thoughts. " Yes?" " Mr Myers will be down shortly. He's currently busy with a call." She informs me. I nod. " Oh oka

" Liam?" He looks at me. " Are you trying to make me stay here longer?" Silence. I need to ask, he's acting too suspicious. " Yes." He admits, honesty dripping through his voice. " Okay." I nod, continuing to eat. I'm surprised he admitted to that. I feel him looking at me the whole time I'm eating, which is making me feel a little awkward. I sigh and stop eating, leaning back against the couch. " You shouldn't do that." I say, playing with the sleeves of his shirt. " I'm being selfish. Let me." " W-what?" I turn to him now. He throws in a piece of peach in his mouth and I wait for him to finish eating. " I'm taking advantage of this moment." I don't say anything, waiting for him to explain. He turns his body to face me completely, letting his arm rest at the back of the couch. " This is the first time we've actually sat together like this, since I came back." He shrugs in a casual manner despite the seriousness that comes from both his voice and eyes. I can ki
