UNWANTED LIFE.

18.

It was 11:28pm. And I waited till it's twelve. I wanted to shout happy birthday to Liam.

I slowly poked him but he was sleeping. I did again and this time he slowly opened his eyes,

Before he could open the both eyes, I shouted

"HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY DEVIL."

He was just staring at me.

"Should you really wake me up and shout this?"

"Yeah devil. I like annoying you."

"Then annoy someone else, not me"

With that he just turned and slept.

I was a bit disappointed because he could have at least told me a thank you. I stayed awake to wish him and now i got nothing.

"Devil"

I cursed him and went to sleep.

I woke up early today and wanted to clean the house. Because it was a mess.

I was in the kitchen making brekkie and Liam showed up.

"Hey about yesterday, thank you for wishing but you should not have shouted, I thought you had really turned mad"

I just ignored and went back to work. After sometime his hands were encircling my waist and he back hugged me.

I smiled but wanted to remove his hands.

I showed the knife to him and said,

"If you don't leave me now, I'll chop you off with this."

"WHAT?"

He quickly removed his hands and stared at me.

"Will you do that really?"

"Yes, why?"

"No I see that you don't even know how to hold it properly."

"SHUT UP LIAM."

He was laughing and it felt good. I was happy because at least I'm making him happy.

We both had our breakfast and was roaming near the pool.

I pushed him and held this collar. Basically his body was bending towards the pool. I laughed.

"Please Alisa. I'm scared of water."

"You scared of what?"

With that I left him. He fell and started to come towards the wall to get some support but he was struggling.

"I.don't.know.how.to.swim"

He said between coughs. I laughed again. I thought he was kidding.

"He-lp me ali-"

With that he was already sinking . I was scared now. His face changed into a pale purple color.

I quickly jumped and grabbed him towards the wall.

"LIAM, LIAM?"

I shouted and he just laid there without any movement.

I was really nervous and started shivering.

I tapped his shoulder. And also have some pumps in his heart.

Slowly he opened the eyes. I quickly wiped my tears because I didn't want him to know that I was crying because of him.

Before I could say anything he stood up and started walking towards the door.

"LIAM LIAM, Stop."

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ALISA?"

He shouted and I flinched. Okay now he was angry.

"Nothing, Nothing."

I said with looking at him.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I didn't know that you didn't know how to swim."

"SHUT UP AND JUST DON'T SHOW YOUR HIDEOUS FACE AGAIN."

With that he went to his room and I went to mine. Shit. Today was his birthday and I spoiled it. Why am I like this? Always spoiling things.

It was already one in the noon and Liam never came back from his room. I was worried so I decided to check up on him.

I knocked the door once but no reply, when I was about to knock again he opened the door. He still looked pale.

"I'm sorr-"

Before I say another word, he interrupted.

"What do you want Alisa?"

"Let's hang out because today is your birthday, and look I didn't really know that you are scared of water and you didn't know how to swim. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay"

He was smiling.

"Woah woah so easily forgiven?"

"No I will take revenge"

"Revenge?"

He was smiling creepily and for a moment I was hella scared of what he will do.

I smiled and asked him what he wanted to do today.

He dragged my hands and interviewed. We were both out in the garden sitting on the swing.

"You know, today is the day my mother passed away"

My eyes widened as he said that. So that's the reason he was angry when I wished him.

"I'm sor-"

"Seriously Alisa? Stop asking sorry for stupid reasons."

I smiled and saw him shed some tears. I felt bad. I missed my parents too.

"You know god takes something from us to give us something we never imagined of"

I said and hoped it will console him.

But I saw him still hugging his knees and mumbling something.

I wanted to say something but before that he quickly wrapped his hands around my neck and buried his head. I patted his shoulder.

"Shush don't talk. Just stay like this for a while".

After a couple of minutes we went inside and started preparing lunch.

I didn't want him to forget about his mom but i wanted to at least make him happy. I cooked his favorite food and served him.

It was around three when someone knocked on the door. We were munching some snacks while watching a movie.

I quickly went to the door and unlocked it. Clara was standing there with a bag. Maybe a gift for Liam.

"Where's Liam?"

She asked and I just turned to go but she held me.

She wanted to slap me but I got hold of her hands and said,

"I'm not the old Alisa Clara. I'm changed, don't you dare to raise your hands".

"WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK TO ME LIKE THAT?"

She shouted and we both saw Liam walking towards us.

"See Liam, how can she disrespect me?"

I saw Liam slowly walking towards me. I stood still.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM."

He shouted and I was shocked. I quickly grabbed the snacks and went up to my room.

What made me think that he will take my side? What made me think he will speak on behalf of me? Shit. I know this is what he needed. He needs Clara. That's it.

With deep confusion I slowly closed my eyes.
