Weak For Him || Darkness Book #1 ✔️

Chapter 115 | Release Day

Liam's Pov

Nine months later

I'm finally fucking free! I stand there outside the prison gate, breathing in that fresh air, sighing heavily, happy!
"Fuck, I've missed this" I say to myself out loud as I look around and spot Jason coming closer, arms out at me. Jogging over, I drop my shit and hug my brother tightly.
"I fucking missed you brother" he says to me and I felt it.
"So did I bro, how's mum? Please tell me she's good" I ask him needing to know I still have some time.
"I don't know man, the doctors are constantly there now. But she has perked up knowing you're out now" he says and I sigh. I hope she's okay. I can't lose her yet. But, I need to see my queen and my mama would want that,.
"Take me to my baby, now!" I demand and he sighs. This shit still.
"Really brother, let's go home to mum, she needs you more" he says and I shake my head. Mum would be pushing me to go to Stacey straight away..
"Just take me to Stacey bro" I say and he sighs and climbs into the car anf inpick my stuff up and walk around and climb into the passenger side.
"And step onit Jason" I tell him needing to be there sooner. I hope she's happy to see me. Shit, would I be happy to see me?

"Have you seen her?" I ask Jason as he gets back into Nottingham. The drive was long..
"Not for months now, I only seen her now and then when she visited anyway" he says and I clench my jaw.
"Did I not ask you take be there for her, what the fuck do you mean!" I stress.. I set my queen free thinking she had people around her to support her. What the fuck!
But.. is she avoiding everyone.. why didn't she tells me?
"We'll talk when you get back or something. Chill out, you're here now brother" he tells me and I wanna punch him in the fucking face but right now I don't care.
"Just drop me off here, take my stuff home will ya" I tell him and he pulls over looking to me.
"Thanks for picking me up bro" I tell him still grateful and he nods at me.
"Call me and I'll come get you when you're done" he says and I nod then climb out the car. I just stand there up the street, looking down at her bakery. Suddenly being flooded with happy emotions I feel a tear roll down and I quickly wipe it away. I've missed her so much and I'm finally seeing her out of that place.. I'm out here now. I'm free! And I'm so fucking proud of her, she did it. My queen actually fucking did it!
I walk slowly down the street and come to a stop just before her bakery and see her smiling.. happy. Fuck, she's beautiful and I've missed that face. I feel my knees go weak and my heart begin to beat faster and before I know it more happy tears are falling. I need to pull myself together before I see her. I need to be the alpha male I am.. The man she loves. Wiping my face harshly, I take a few deep breaths and slowly walk towards the bakery when I see Victor appear out of nowhere. He walks over to her and gives her a hug and we lock eyes quickly and she closes her eyes and I run back up the street sprinting away feeling my heart pound. She actually moved on. I wanna actually cry. I feel.. broken that she's moved on and my hearts shattered. But happy that she's happy. My heart and head are at war with each other over my conflicted feelings. But all I feel is pain. I've lost her. To the fucking imbecile. Fuck!
Stopping, I lean my forehead against a brick wall, and pull myself together wiping my eyes. I keep fucking crying and it's pissing me off. I just wanna rip him apart for touching what's mine.  I take a deep controlled breath and think I need to see her one last time before I go home to my mum. I walk back down the street and stop at the bakery and see her on her own this time. He must of gone somewhere. Good!
I watch her in her fucking element, serving customers her baked goods. I've never been so proud. I wonder if she sells my chocolate and peanut butter cups? I just stand there watching her smiling. This is all I wanted for her. She's living her life and thriving without me. I can live with that. For her.

I been watching customers come and go, I see how she keeps the place tidy when it's empty. Always prepared for the next flood.
I look around and see no one as its getting later. How long have I been standing here watching? When the fuck did it get dark? I must of lost time just watching her. Shit!
It's now or never. Just say hi Liam.. your friends.. you promised.. you can do this, just walk through the door. It's that easy..
I walk up to the door and hover over the handle. I take a deep breath and push the door open slowly. A bell rings alerting her I'm here and I begin to panic. Shit, what do I do?
"I'll be with you in a minute" she calls out from the back and I melt hearing her voice again. I've missed you baby. I say to myself as I pull the letter out of my pocket and place it on the counter I quickly scan the bakery with a grin thinking she's done so good for herself and rush over to the door as I hear her come around and I creep out the door and the bell rings again and I rush off. Please get my letter.

Arriving at my mums, I rush into the house and to her side.
"Mama, it's me am here. I've missed you so much" I tell her feeling my eyes water again. Fuck, this crying shit..
"Son, you're finally here, I love you and you're home" she tells me and sighs.
"Mum I'm home, I love you too" I tell her and just climb in the bed with her. Please don't leave me mum.
