Henry's POV

'Perfect is only true in the eyes of the beholder. I changed myself for you. Changing just because I needed someone who cared.  I made myself into something I'm not just for the attention. The current mood changed so fast I got whiplash from it. I'm telling you the truth. You don't want to listen, do you? I remember when you told me: "Words are like a two-edged sword due to how much damage you can cause to a person. And how much you can regret those words." You questioned if your words hurt. Do my words of what I went through make you feel for me? Does the truth hurt? To you, it hurts so bad. To me, I hurt you with what you needed to know but didn't want to know about my pain. You should have listened to me. Next time save yourself from yourself by yourself.'

This was not expected. I thought my business partner and old friend gave me the letter as an apology. Much to my surprise, it was a rant of hatred. What did I do to him? What happened to our friendship? He only talked to me for business reasons or playdates for our kids. Anytime he brought them, he didn't even spare me a glance. Any time I asked him if we could talk, he looked at me with those lifeless eyes. Whitish blue voids looking at my blue-green eyes with nothing in them. It hurt to see him like this. The thoughts in my head were racing around as if they were on a track. Running to the end where I would be freed from this mental prison.

Sighing, I stood up from my desk and walked to the window. Looking out, the sun was setting as the leaves fell at random. The window was ajar so I could feel the breeze grace my being while the birds chirped lighty. My kids and his kids were in the garden while my ex-wife was watching them. They all looked happy while the two of us were suffering. Suffering together while being away from each other. Knowing he was going through worse pain than me made my heart break.
I knew what I had to do now. I had to help him. I know when we were alive he did things that are unforgivable but there must be something missing. The 'Why' of everything is missing and needs to be found before I can truly judge him. Everything has a reason behind it. William had a reason.

It took 3 weeks just to get William in the same room as me. No one could convince him and I could barely get him to make eye contact with me. The fact that I managed to get him inside my office so we could talk in private might be one of my greatest achievements after no longer being alive. The list isn't long at all but it's something. He stood with his arms crossed looking at me with nothing but disdain and annoyance. "Why did you feel like wasting my time today?" he questioned me while raising an eyebrow.

"Listen, I know it's been a long time since we have been slightly okay near each other but I can't stand to be like this. Like we weren't always there for eachother in the past. Like what we had was nothing but a fever dream." It was only a handful of words but there was so much more I wanted him to get from it. He was staring out into space until his eyes met mine with blankness. Then it changed, he looked confused and hurt.

"That's it? That's all you had to say to me? Was burning me to a crisp nothing but a past memory? Did that fly over your head like many things in the past? Saying you care about our history together is nothing more than words." He murmured, clearly ready to fight me. Scoffing, he turned away from me and went around my desk to sit down. "Listen Henry, I understand you want to know everything that caused actions that many assume are mine but there's nothing more. I told you everything." He stated as if I didn't have questions.

I understand him. He did tell most things about the causes that led up to the effect but there was still something missing. An answer to questions that he would hate to answer.

"Why didn't you ask me for help? Why did you help me while you were suffering more than me?" I questioned him while walking towards the desk where he sat. His face paled with shock. He was one of those people who gave out advice great for them but never took it into consideration. I could see the gears turning in his head before he sighed. It was tough for us to finally talk and find out what the problem was but we had to get through this.

"Why would I? Why would I hurt myself like that, Henry? Do you even understand how many times I curled up into a ball wanting to get help but being too afraid. I've told you everything about me but you never noticed how afraid of talking I was. Who am I kidding, I'm still afraid." He told me, looking down while shaking a bit with tears going down his face.

"No. You know what the problem is? You don't believe in me or yourself. You don't understand how strong you are for talking to me and telling me that. It seems to be the smallest thing but it's something more than you ever understand." I plead with him as his head shakes with him mumbling 'No'.

Walking around the desk, I made him look at me. For once in almost 30 years, I saw emotion in his eyes. I could see the cracks of hurt. Symbols of pain and lies. Seeing him like this hurt but it was healthy for him. All of those emotions he held inside needed to be let out so he could save himself from himself with the help he needed. I couldn't lose him anymore or that would break down what little happiness was left. What we had was so strong that it can't crumble into nothing now. Not ever.

"Listen Liam," I insisted and used his nickname which made him fully look me in the eyes. "I'm going to help you no matter what and I don't care if you want the help or not. You need the help and I refuse to let you break down anymore." I wiped his tears before he stood up and hugged me. It wasn't long before I hugged him back. Nothing could match holding the one person I loved like no other. No one could compare to him. He was everything to me but it didn't matter if he knew or not.

We stood there for a while until we finally pulled apart. Looking at each other, I saw the one thing I thought I would never see again. A silme. The fact that he smiled made me smile. We finally could rebuild everything together and I refuse to let any time go.

"Perfection is wanted by those who are incapable of loving themselves. Don't be like that. You have a lot of heart. Don't lose it." I whispered to him before just holding him. We fit together like a perfect puzzle. I'll never let him hit rock bottom ever again. Never. That's a promise I'll never break.

All we did was hug but felt as if the 30 years of torture were over and a new chapter in our 'lives' had just begun with the previous one leaving as if it ran away. We finally could stop wasting the time we had and understand each other again. I could help but feel every tear in my heart be repaired.

Losing the one person you care about like no other is one of the hardest things to go through. Finding them again is one of the best things to ever go through no matter how long it takes.

I took his face in my hand and brought it to me. Grasping his chin lightly, I pulled him into a kiss which he immediately kissed back to.

Pulling away, we stare into each other's eyes just smiling at one another.

"Thank you Hen." William whispered to me as we rocked side to side ever so slightly.

"You're welcome Liam " I replied with nothing but content in my voice.
