"good morning mom and dad!" I greeted them and went straight for the door.
"oh no no no sweetie, you're not opening that door and going to school without having a proper breakfast on the table like a family." mom said and smiled like no-arguments-whatsoever. I groaned loudly and sighed dramatically and sat on the table where she served scrambles eggs and bacon. I ate as fast as I could and asked for coffee. she raised her eyebrows but served me anyways and then dad finally said something, "So first day of your senior year, You excited? "
"Yeah, dad a little bit... Though I have a feeling that this year is going to be unforgettable, Liam and I both are going to New York for college next year and everything is perfectly planned."
" How is he anyway? I haven't seen him in ages. "
" He's fine, I haven't seen him in ages too, he went for soccer summer camp in summer so I am going to meet him today only and which is why I have to go like right now so bye dad and bye mom." I stood up and went straight for the door and got out. I shut the door and was going to walk to school when I saw a very familiar car in front of my house. Liam was leaning against his car with his sunglasses and gave me his signature lopsided smile and opened his arms. I was shocked and then I ran and jumped on him and wrapped my led around his torso. He hugged me tightly and swirled me around and then pulled away to kiss me.
" God I've missed you so much, Nat. So much!! " He kissed my forehead but didn't put me down.
" aww but I on the other hand haven't missed you at all. I just had the best summer cause you weren't here. promise me you will be away every summer for the rest of our lives. " I was totally kidding and was trying so hard to control my laugh when I saw his face fall down. He actually believed that? god, how stupid he is. I grinned and grabbed his face with both of my hands and said, " You don't know me at all. how could you believe that? I, Natalie Preston loves you LIAM with all my heart and mind and I know you're annoying and stupid and dumb and ugly but nonetheless, I love you. whatever I said about not missing you was me kidding. I meant the total opposite, you have to promise me you will never go to another stupid summer camp or anywhere for that matter without me. "
He kissed me which showed every emotion he was feeling at that moment, pulled away just a millimeter away, and whispered " I promise and we both know that I am not ugly" We both were smiling ear to ear and our lips were still touching just a little bit and it was at that moment I realized I could never leave this man. Maybe we would not love each other but we will always find our way back to each other.

" oh yeah nobody in my school knew my name was Kaiser William it was just too dramatic so I told everyone that my name was just William so some called me Will but most of the people called me Liam."
After hearing those words come out of Kai's or Liam's mouth, I felt like the wind just knocked me out and I swear I was having a heart attack by the way my heart was beating. oh my god, I would give anything to just un-hear what I just heard. This can't be true. Is the universe playing games with me? If you haven't guessed already, I am running and hiding from my past and trying to move on from a life I don't wanna look back to but having lunch with a person who was a major part of my past life is so not what I wanted. What are you trying to tell me universe?
"Wait so you ARE Liam? Like did you go to Riverview High? Where did you live before coming to New York? " Samantha asked whereas I was speechless and my mind was blank right now.
" Yes and Virginia and wait, how do you know about that? " Kai answered and asked.
" Because we went to the same high school and because we hooked up and you weren't decent enough to even say something the next day or ever after you sneaked out and took my virginity. Ring any bells now? "
" YOU'RE SAMANTHA? The SAMANTHA I cheated on my girlfriend with? but you were blond and... and...? "
" Not hot? Had braces? Was a teenager?? Yeah, I know. " Sam looked kinda hurt. I felt like running again. It felt like with all these confrontations someone is gonna shout and say- " She is Nat! Confront her too!! "
" Oh my god, how is that even possible? Samantha, I am so sorry I did that to you. I never meant for any of that to happen. I left because I felt so guilty cheating on my girlfriend who I loved so much. who I still do." I noticed him giving me a very slight glance for not even a second or maybe I just imagined it but I felt it. God, either I am being super paranoid or he knows. He continued, " I am truly sorry Samantha that it happened, that I let it happen to you and to me and you don't know how guilty I have felt for all these years. Please forgive me!"
"It's okay, I forgive you... You said you still love Nat, are you guys still together or something cause I need to apologize ."
" No we are not together cause I haven't seen her after that night, I feel like she found out I cheated on her and took off or whatever but I still love her and probably will always do." I felt him giving me another glance for a second but it was again too fast for me to notice or be sure.
" Well are we going to eat or something cause I am starving. " I said to break the silence and to go off of this topic.
" Yeah lets go, come with me in my car cause its my treat and I am taking you girls out. " He said and gave his signature smile to both of us . Sam grinned and looked at me with raised eyebrows and said, " How could I have not noticed the similarities before? " to which I gave a very nervous smile and thought that this is probably will be the last meal I will be having with her. Liam better have chosen a good restaurant .
