Now that Liam and I are good again and I got some things sorted out, I feel much better.

Expect for the fact everyone thinks I'm a killer.

Liam and Mason were gaming, I was sitting on the bed watching them. It's not that I don't want to play, but I'm just too good. I'm kidding, I hate that game.

"Oh!" Mason says and raises the controller. Liam laughs and I look up to see Liam winning again. "When did you get so good? You've been practising?" He asks and I smile at the text Lori sent. "Or did you just suddenly get superhuman reflexes?" He asks and I look up from my phone.

"Uh... practising," Liam lies and I sit up. "Practising, yeah I've been practising," he says and looks down. "And I should be studying," he says and I nod. "Me too," I say, life is normal again and I should probably get my school work in order after that horrible black out I had the other last time.

"Where are you going?" Liam asks slightly panicked. "Home. I got a history test tomorrow," he says and I look at Liam, frowning. "Come on, one more game." Liam says and I look at Mason.

"Well, Skye's my ride here and she's leaving... and you said that four games ago," he says and we walk out. "Well, study here. You can stay over, both of you," he says and I frown.

Mason turns around and I do too. "Come on, one more game, just one," he says and I look at him. "Hey you okay?" I ask and Liam closes his eyes, shaking his head. "Yeah, you're right, you should go. I should probably study too," he says and closes his eyes again, probably thinking he's being too pushy.

"See you at school," he says and Mason and I share a look. "Let's go," I say quietly and he nods. I drive Mason to his house quietly until he breaks the silence. "Why is Liam hanging out with all those Juniors?" He asks and I look at him.

"They're my friends." I say and Mason shakes his head. "He was hanging out with them before you got back together." He points out and I sigh. "True. But they're all at the Lacrosse team, and Liam is competition." I say and Mason nods.

"Yeah. You're right," he says and it's silent again. "You think he's hiding something?" He asks again and I look at him. "Mason, why would he do that?" I ask and Mason raises his eyebrows. "Okay... he's been going through a lot." I say and Mason nods.

"Please just let him tell you in time. Please don't push Mason, please." I say and Mason sighs. "I guess." He says and I arrive at his house.

"Here you go, see you at school." I say and Mason gets out. "Thanks for the ride." He says and I nod. "Anytime!" I say smiling and he gets in his house.

I get back inside Liam's house and I was wet for a few seconds because of the rain. It was pretty annoying. "You're not there, you're not there," I hear Liam say and I hear him panting. I open the door and I see Liam getting up, putting his light on.

"Liam?" I ask and he looks at me, panting. "Skye," he breathes out and I give him a small smile. "You okay?" I ask carefully and he nods.

"Just- come here please," he begs and I nod. I lay down next to him and run my fingers through his hair. "It's okay, easy," I whisper in his ear and he closes his eyes. "Go to sleep, Liam, it'll do you good, I'm here," I sooth and he nods against my chest, yawning.

"I love you." I say, but he was already sleeping.
