Chapter 17
"Did you get home safe?" I asked.
Nathan nodded his head. "I was so worried about you," he said. I sighed. "I know I'm sorry, but I'm fine,"
"I know, thank god, but if something happened-"
"Nothing happened, Nate,"
"What if something did," I heard the concern in his voice, and I felt terrible for making him worry like this. I knew I should have told him when I arrived home, but it slipped my mind.
"I'm okay," I assured him, giving him a smile, which he returned.
Being at the fight club yesterday felt like I still hadn't been able to get all the answers I had wanted. But finding out the truth about what they all did slightly made me feel better, but at the same time, it terrified me.
They could die being in that club, but it seemed that they didn't care.
And Cassian's father being the leader. I didn't know what to even think about that. When Cas lived here, I barely even met his father. I probably saw him once or twice. He was always busy. And never around.
But I finally knew what he was busy with.
"So, did you talk to Sarah recently?" I asked him. Changing the topic and getting myself to stop thinking about all of this.
"What do you mean? Of course, I did," he said.
"No, I mean, did you talk to Sarah?"
"Ohhh no, I haven't gotten the chance to either," he said, his face falling.
I knew how much Nathan liked her, and I wanted more than anything for both of them to be happy because they deserve it. Though Sarah had admitted feeling something, I knew Sarah didn't feel that way towards him, and I respect her feeling, but I had hoped she would one day change her mind.
"But I can tell she doesn't like me that way?" He said. I placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him once again.
"What are you guys doing?" Sky said, walking over to us.
Nathan and I were waiting for her to finish her final day of detention so we can celebrate. Unfortunately, Sarah had to go home, but Nathan and I decided we still had to do something.
Though Skyler had only initially had two weeks of detention, they had increased it by a whole month by all the fights Isaac and her would get into both in detention and out.
"Well, waiting for you," I said. She gave us a confused look.
"You see, lil sis, since you finally are free from detention, we thought we would celebrate!" Nate said, putting an arm around her.
She giggles. "You guys didn't have to do that," she said.
"Of course, we did! We only heard you complain about 34567 times a day,"
She slapped Nathan back and said, "don't be dramatic," Nathan gave her a dirty look, and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"You guys are children," I told them.
"No, we're not," they both said at the same time. I chuckled, rolling my eyes.
"Davis!" Someone yelled from the other side of the parking lot. We all turned our heads to see Isaac walking towards us.
I wanted to grab Sky's wrist and get in the car and drive away, but I knew I couldn't.
I gave Nathan a look, and he gave me the same look. We both knew this was not going to end well.
"What do you want?" Sky asked, annoyed. "Can't you see I'm finally free from your torture?" she said, throwing her hand in the air.
"It ain't over yet, baby girl. You promised tonight," he said seductively. Eyeing her up and down and made me uncomfortable just standing near them.
"Fine, whatever," she said. She took a step forward, standing close to him and whispered something in his ear that neither Nathan and I could hear. He gave her a smirk and walked away, giving her a wink.
Nathan immediately questioned her, but she didn't say anything. She told us both that it was nothing and that it doesn't concern us.
I wanted to ask her a million more questions, but I knew she wouldn't say anything even if we begged.
So we all just drove to a nearby restaurant and then later went to a mall to hang out.
I arrived home pretty later afterwards. I already knew my parents had an overnight shift tonight, so I was home alone again.
I took a quick shower, put on an oversize shirt with a pair of pyjamas shorts, and went downstairs to watch some tv.
But as soon as I got comfortable on the couch, my doorbell rang. I groaned out loud, annoyed to have to get up. I was debating just letting the person ring and leave afterwards, but they began knocking on my door.
I got off the couch and made my way to open the door, but as soon as I opened it, I was pushed back inside, and Liam entered my house.
"Couldn't you wait till I invited you in?" I asked, rolling my eyes. I shut the door and made my way back to the couch. "Why are you here?" I asked.
I remember the events of last night and the way his lips tasted on my own and how much I had wanted to give myself to him.
It was the first time I had allowed myself to be comfortable.
We made our way back to the car that night, and he pulled me and on to his lap, and we made out for what felt like a long time.
And each time I thought about him on me, I could feel myself getting hot all over again.
But I stopped before it went further, and he had dropped me home without another word.
He walked over to the couch and sat down next to me.
"I wanted to watch tv," he said with a shrug.
"Don't you have one at home?" I said.
"Ya, but you're not there," he smirks. And I could already feel the blush forming on my hot cheeks. But I ignored it and focused my attention back on the movie that was playing.
"But I came to give you this," he handed me one of my bracelets I had worn that night. I hadn't even noticed I had lost it. I took it from him and said, "Thanks! I didn't even realize I didn't have it. Where did you find it?" I asked.
"It was in my car. I think it fell when you know this happened," he says, leaning forward to kiss my cheeks. "And then this," his hand travelled to my waist and his lips down to my neck.
I bit my lips and clenched my fist, trying hard not to let anything out.
"Then this," he moved my shirt off my shoulder and began kissing my shoulder. I grabbed onto his shirt, closing my eyes.
I knew once again how wrong it was, but I couldn't move. But I didn't have to either.
Because he moved, he got away from me.
He moved away from me, getting off the couch and standing up. His back was to me.
I got up, confused but walked to stand behind him. "Liam look at me," he didn't move. "Please, Liam," he turned his body slowly and faced me.
"I don't wanna do this," he said. I gave him a puzzled look. "I don't wanna do any more things to hurt you," he said, and my eyes went wide. "I put you through so much for so damn long that I don't want just to have to do this. I wanna take you out,"
I looked at him, shocked. I was not expecting him to say that at all.
"Go on a date with me?" He asked.
I knew the bullying and the torture I went through for many years will never leave my mind, but I was slowly letting myself heal from it, and I knew one day I would be able to forgive him entirely.
And if this date will finally help me see more of who he truly is, then why the hell not.
"Okay."
