Camila's Pov
When we get there Liam pulls out his keys, unlocking the door, and we walk inside.

"Liam, your a little late." Mrs Dunbar says as her and Dr Geyer walk into the hallway, where we are.

"Yes, sorry for being late. Camila and I went to visit her Dad in hospital and then get some food." Liam explain, holding up the bag of McDonalds.

"Ahh yes I heard about your Dad. I hope he's okay." Dr Geyer says, greeting me with a hug.

"He'll be fine." I say as Mrs Dunbar comes and gives me a hug.

"You've not been here in a while, how have you been?" she asks.

"Umm, I've not really been doing much. Just focusing on college applications." I say, which shocks Liam.

"That's nice, well we're going out to dinner, we'll see you two later." she says and the two of them walk out and leave.

Liam and I walk upstairs, shutting his bedroom door behind us, and then we flop onto his bed.

"You wanna play COD?" he asks as I unwrap the food around us.

"Sure." I say as he begins to set it all up.

We start playing and then we begin to eat some of the food. Randomly, Liam turns off the tv and he takes the controller out of my hand.

"Li, what are you doing? I was winning." I whine.

"Look at what your eating." he says and I look down at my food and roll my eyes.

"It's just food, calm down." I say.

"Somethings up, your eating chicken nuggets." he says seriously.

"Liam, it's just comfort food, come on." I roll my eyes as I place it on the floor.

I'm not lying when I say he studies my face for a minute before he pushes me back on the bed and starts to tickle me.

"L-Liam w-why ar-re you....s-stop."I gasp out, in between tickles.

"Because your not telling me something, tell me the truth or I will keep doing this till you pee yourself." he says seriously as he continues tickling me.

"F-fine, stop and I-I'll tell youu."I giggle and he finally stops.

He lays down besides me and I turn and face him.

"So tell me." he starts.

I sigh and fiddle with my fingers uncomfortably.

"Before I went to Eichen House I sent in my application for JFC College." I admit, looking at him a little nervously.

"That's amazing." he says, smiling at me.

"Yeah." I sigh.

"Then why do you look like you want to drown in a bathtub?" Liam asks.

"Because I've not got a letter back. I don't know if I've been rejected or accepted." I say, a bit worried.

"Hey, it'll all be fine. It always is." Liam says pulling me into a hug.

And with that we fall asleep on his bed. Me with my head on his chest, listening to his breathing as I try to fall asleep.

An hour later
I wake up again and I look around the room, realising I'm still in Liam's house. I slowly get off of Liam's bed, trying not to wake him up, and I quietly crawl out of his bedroom window. I go on a walk in the woods and about an hour later my phone rings. It's Liam.

"Hey."I answer.
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the woods, don't worry I'm coming home."
"Okay just stay safe, I was worried."
"I'm always safe, sorry for worrying you."
"See you soon."
"I'll see you in five."

With that I end the call and start my way back home. I crawl up the side of his house and I get through his bedroom window and he's sitting on his bed.

"Why'd you leave?" he asks concerned as I get back into his bed.

"I couldn't sleep, I always go on walks when I can't sleep." I say.

"You could've just woken me up. What if you got taken?" he asks seeming worried.

"You looked like a cute little puppy and I didn't want to disturb your sleep." I say guiltily.

"I would've been fine." he says as we lay down on his bed.

We're laying there in the darkness for a few minutes when he speaks up.

"Still can't sleep?" he asks.

"No." I say.

He pulls me into his side and turns me around.

"If you stay still for 15 minutes then you'll fall back to sleep." he says, hugging me from behind.

"Wait really?" I ask, slightly surprised.

"Yes. Now stay fucking still." he says seriously and I do so.

At some point I end up falling asleep and I don't wake up again until the next morning.
