Chapter 34

__

Leslie woke up from her slumber, breathing heavily and pounds of sweat fell from her trembling body.

She had another one of those horrific nightmares, but it felt worse than normal.

Liam woke up from the floor and shot up quickly getting up to see her, "Leslie! It's just a dream!" He said trying to calm her down.

She sat there doing the same things over and over again, remembering the horrific events that nightmare held.

Liam carefully climbed into the bed, and caressed her back, talking lightly to her, to hopefully calm her down.

"It's okay les, I'm here" he soothed.

"It's going to be alright, I'm here. It's okay"

He held her trembling body in his arms, and sat like that until she finally fell asleep.

Afternoon

Liam sat at his desk being quiet as possible, to not wake up Leslie. He worked on some homework on his desk until his phone besides him made a buzzing sound, indicating that he had gotten a phone call.

He read the caller ID, and answered immediately, putting the phone against his ear.

"Hello?" Liv said from the other side of the phone.

"Hey Liv" he said, looking back at Leslie to make sure she was still asleep.

"I-is she with you?" She asked.

He nodded as if, she could see him through the little screen. "Yes she's here, she called me last night"

"She called you? Is she okay?" She asked, sounding worried.

Liam let out a soft sigh and turned his attention back onto the paper. "I wish I had a answer.. But I don't. She called me telling me to come get her"

"Don't tell me.." She gasped.

"She did.. She went there" he sighed.

"I knew I shouldn't of let her go by herself, I just thought it was right. I feel like a horrible friend.. I can't do much and I wish I could"

"I feel so fucking bad. All I can do is sit here.. try to comfort her, it seems like it works but I know it doesn't "

"Some days it looks like she's finally getting better, but other days.. It feels like she gets worse.." She said, sniffling on the other side.

"Hey stop that. You aren't a bad friend. You did everything you could do possibly make her feel better. Most people just leave and do nothing, but you-"  he paused.

"You stayed, you made sure that you did everything.. I mean everything!" He yelled.

"I can't handle it anymore.. I hate seeing her like this. I miss her smile, her laugh. You know. I wish I could stop it all"

"We all hate seeing her like this, but we can't do much. It's life.. People come and go"

The phone call fell silent, they sat there thinking on things that was brought up, and how they could possibly help their friend.

"I have to go, please take care of her.. And keep me updated if anything happens, please" she said softly.

"Of course, Liv. She couldn't ask for a better friend. You are helping. Even if she doesn't show it. You are" he said.
