UNWANTED LIFE.

14.

2 months later.

It was the same after my parents left me. Liam was back to his cold self and Clara was hanging out with always.

Anaya went to Singapore last month with her husband. I miss her so much.

After my parents left me, I really had no one to console me other than Ben. He was there for me always. Even though Liam was good to me for a month and helped me out but we was rude at certain times. The only person who cared about what I'm going through and wanted to talk about it was Ben.

He started dating a girl last month and I was happy because he finally found someone.

Today I decided to watch a movie with Ben. So I ordered two pizzas and waited till Ben showed up. Finally he did.

"Hello sir, I think you should come a little later so that we could sleepover."

"I would love that"

"Shut up and come in"

"Okay okay"

After a couple of hours we heard someone knocked at door.
I wondered who it was, because Liam always returns back home at 8. It was 6 o'clock.

Ben opened the door and Liam was standing. His hair was messy and his coat was removed. He had his shirt on. He looked pale and by judging him I can tell that he was crying.

"CAN.YOU.LEAVE.PLEASE?"

He emphasized each and every word  calmly and angrily. I quickly pushed Ben out because I didn't want him to punch Ben.

Ben smiled and asked me to call him if something was wrong.

I nodded and turned to look at Liam. He was seated in the couch and when he saw me coming, he stood up and started walking towards me. I remembered the first time he slapped me. I was scared but I stood still.

Before I could do anything, he hugged me really tight.

"Please I need this. Stay like this for sometime"

I heard him say. That's when I realized he was crying. I nodded and patted him. Butterflies were tickling because this is first time he is hugging me willingly after our so called honeymoon.

"Everything alright?"

I asked when he backed off from the hug.

"I don't think I have to tell you, can you get out? I don't want to see your hideous face."

"Why?"

"I SAID GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE"

Tears were rolling down. He used me and put me aside. I'm not his toy. NOT A TOY.

I quickly ran to my room. I had a good sleep forgetting all these thoughts and arguments.

It was ten and I decided to eat something. I went to the kitchen and saw Liam eating. I ignored his presence.

I sat beside him and started eating slowly.

"I'm sorry"

I heard him say for the first time. I chocked on my food and started coughing.

"Are you going to die? Eat slowly."

"WHAT MADE YOU SAY SORRY? IS THIS MY HUSBAND LIAM. JUST WOW, can you repeat it?"

No I can't repeat. I'm a human too. I can apologize. I can say sorry, I can hug, I can cry, I can feel bad."

"Oops, Sorry. It's okay I didn't get hurt. I'm used to it anyways"

I gave him a weak smile and started eating.

"Can we talk?"

"No"

"Why Alisa? I really want to talk to someone."

"You didn't when I needed someone to talk. I think you have someone already. What about Clara?

When I mentioned her name he threw his plate and it shattered into pieces. I flinched.

"DON'T SAY HER NAME EVER AGAIN."

I was shocked because of his behavior. What made him so angry when I mentioned her name? Is something wrong with them?
But without digging into it I just made my way to my room.

Later that night, I tried to sleep but as usual I was twisting and turning. I heard someone knocking on my door and I quickly opened it. It was Liam standing their with his blanket.

I just stared at him and asked him what was wrong.

"Can I sleep here tonight?"

"Huh?"

"Can I sleep here tonight?"

"What made you think I will say yes you can?"

"I guess that's a no then, bye."

"WAIT"

I shouted and grabbed him by his hand. I was shocked because he actually listened to me.

"You can but either one of us should sleep down"

"No need, I'll go to my room it self. I don't want you to sleep down."

"No no wait. Maybe we can build a wall between and sleep."

"Whether you built it or not I'm not going to touch you and I promise."

"Okay."

With that he jumped on my bed. I went and laid down beside him. My back was facing him. This is the first time I'm sleeping beside him.

"We broke up"

I quickly turned and read his expression.

"What do you mean by we broke up?"

"My relationship with Clara is over"

"Why?"

"I don't think I have to tell you"

"Okay"

I slowly turned and was thinking the reason they broke up. It went well. But what happened?

After a couple of hours I felt a hand pulling me closer. I knew it was Liam's. I tried to get rid of it but it was strong.

"You promised me not to touch Liam"

"Then stop twisting and turning"

"If you leave me, I will"

I didn't hear him responding. So I just cuddled up my blanket and slept. But to my surprise his hand
never left me.

I heard him say,

"Thank you and good night"

I wanted to reply but what he said next just broke my heart.

"Clara, you are always mine"

I shushed all these thoughts away and removed his hands. I took my blanket and slept down.
