Tangled Ties

Chapter 53: Let's Go...

Ellie's POV:

"Ellie..." Liam stammered; he was standing on the door, with his parents beside him.

The tears I was holding on from hours, fell down as I saw him. I couldn't stay strong in front of him.

"How did this happen?" He asked, pulling me closer to his heart.

"Liam!" I cried hugging him.

"I am really sorry." He too started crying.

"Are you okay?" He broke the hug and asked, looking all over my body.

"I only had few injuries but mom..." I couldn't stop crying.

"Where's your mom? How is she?" Liam's mom asked.

"She is in operation theater." Prinsiya came to us and said.

"I'm so sorry, it all happened because of me." Liam kept on crying.

"It wasn't your fault. It was the bad luck that I brought with me." I said, remembering the things that happened an hour ago.

"What do you mean?" Liam asked.

"So many things happened after you left." I sighed, hoping I could change it.

"Ellie, I am so sorry I left without a word." He held my hands.

"Why?" I asked, I really wanted to know why he just left like that.

"Because I thought you were my childhood friend Ellie and I thought you always lied to me." He said, looking at the ground.

"What made you think that?" I asked, I was quite disappointed that he didn't trust me.

"I saw the pictures on the living room. You looked exactly like my Ellie." He replied, he sounded so sorry.

"That girl isn't me." I said with pain in my voice.

"But your mom said she is her daughter." He added, he was confused.

"She is my parent's elder daughter, Luna." I said, not being able to control my tears. Liam looked confused.

"My Luna who is no more with us because of you." Dad interrupted us; I couldn't say anything.

"Ellie..." Ariana and Hardin came running to me and hugged me. Ariana was already crying not being able to speak.

"First you killed my Luna and now my wife is in there because of you." Dad started crying.

"I'm so sorry. I brought bad luck in your life." I said, feeling guilty for being in their life.

"Ellie, can you tell me what's going on?" Liam asked.

I nodded and started telling him everything that happened an hour ago.

An hour ago:

"Where is Liam?" I asked, as my mom came in.

"I don't know, he suddenly ran outside. I tried to stop him but he didn't." Mom said, in a confused way.

"Maybe he wants to surprise me in 12 AM." I giggled.

"Maybe he forgot his gift." Mom laughed.

Then I picked up my phone and dialed Liam's number. He didn't pick up.

Maybe he is ignoring my calls on purpose. Maybe he is hiding inside my house to surprise me. Maybe mom is also lying. When did these people got this close? Whatever, I'm happy. I've never been this excited for my birthday. I won't even be able to sleep tonight lol!

Then we heard the front door opening. Mom smiled hearing that. Maybe dad arrived. Mom went outside to see who it was. I also followed her, trying not to fall down, even though my feet were hurting. It was dad.
