Neglected & Abused, Until I Found You

Chapter 9

I opened my eyes, and examined the clock. It's 4:38 a.m. I have been tossing and turning all night, thoughts racing through my mind. Will he be there? Will he rape me? Will he hurt Liam? I immediately stopped my thoughts. I.Have.To.Stop.Thinking.Like.This. I shivered and closed my eyes. I rolled over to my right, and there layed Liam, looking adorable. He quickly grinned, as if something in his dream was fascinating. I smiled and scooted closer to him. I know Liam will protect me. He slowly lifted up his head and looked from left to right, then down at me. He smiled and went back to sleep. Then, I slowly drifted off. I woke up and opened my eyes. Liam wasn't next to me anymore. I quickly sat up and panicked. The clock said 10:24 a.m. I quickly got out of bed and went in to the living room. There stood Liam, in the kitchen. Making breakfast. He is such a sweetheart. I tip-toed over to him and hugged him from behind. He turned off the griddle and set his spatula down. He turned around and picked me up. I giggled as he sat me on the counter. "What did you make?" I said. "Pancakes." He replied with a smile. He asked, "Are you ready for this?" I sat there silently, kicking my legs back-and-forth on the counter. "I guess so." I said silently, as I hopped off and sat down at the table. Liam brought me breakfast, and we ate in silence. Uncomfortable silence. When I was done with my food, I washed it out and put it in the sink. I quickly snatched Liam's fork and put it in his mouth. "I'm going to go shower." He nodded while chewing. I walked to the shower, and examined the razor once more. I felt the razor blade with my finger, and I wanted to do it. BADLY. I slowly put it down, exhaling deeply. Once I got out of the shower, I took a look back at the razor as my fingers grazed the cold, golden door knob. I opened the door and walked to Liam's room. He whisted at me in my towel, and I laughed loudly. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me in close. He reached for the towel tips, and looked up at me questioning his actions. I stood there for a moment, thinking about what to do. I shook my head, and he nodded understandingly. He kissed my forehead and I walked to the room, closing the door behind me. I quickly got dressed and looked at the clock. 11:30 a.m. I'm terrifed. "Think positive!" I whisper to myself and I walk out. Liam was on the couch, watching The Big Bang Theory. I sat down and watched with him. We kept our distance on the couch. He scooted over and I snuggled up to him. He smelled like Axe spray. He looked down out me and said "How about we just stay here?" with a smile. I nodded and snuggled in some more. I looked up and kissed him. Wherever he was, that's where I wanted to be. I think I might actually love Liam
