"I hope I see the world as you did "

Do you want to know how to really know if a person truly cares about you? It's in the way they relate and react with you. In the way they treat you.

Liam had been nothing but good to me in this past days. The relationship between us had strengthen more and I often visit him in the diner where he works. Everyone one of his colleagues, his employers, knows me with him.

The same goes with my mum relationship with mr Jackson 'her friend from work'. He visits and has become a little free with me but still makes me laugh in some of the questions he asks in a somewhat professional way.

Olivia is still as tight as a tick with Jake. I am hundred percent sure now that they would be nominated as the couple of the year in prom. But that doesn't in any way affect our relationship. Ever since I told her about Liam and her also noticing how closer we've both became, she has not been quiet about it.

I finally decided to come straight to Liam about my dad now that we were finally at a point where I trusted him to an extent plus I knew he was so mature in conversations and would give the best pleasing advice to me. Win, win.

If he already knew, he didn't show it. Judging by the fact I had asked the question in one of our conversations but in a not very straight manner.

"....He is the reason for my insecurities in relationships and now all of a sudden when he has just few time left he wants to see me. He never asked of me or my mum all this time when he was with the new family he actually cared about." I let everything out.

"I understand you but you need to be a bigger person. Let by gone be by gone. Go and visit him." He advised.

I found some sense in it and so told my mum I was ready to visit my dad by weekend which she said was fine by her.

My preparation for the SAT exam was still ongoing and I also made a decision to apply to universities 'undecided' till I finalize on the course to pursue. I really can't wait to finally graduate high school next year's Spring.

The only disturbing change that happened to me recently was the new biology lab I was appointed. The girl who made herself my rival just for high school status.

I wonder how she would react when she remembers all this in ten to fifteen years from now.

"I don't know if you will be okay with the question I'm about to ask," I told Liam as we walked back home. It was kind of becoming our thing to take evening strolls and have conversations and the end, he would escort me home before going to his since his house is not far from mine.

"You should know by now that you can ask me any question," He replied.

"I just wanted to know more about you that's all. Something you have never told me."

"Well, My dad passed away a year and half ago and I'm now like the head of the house." He ended with a little laugh and that's when it dawned on me that he had actually said something about it in that conversation we had but because I was clouded by anger I didn't hear him.

"I am sorry." I said sincerely.

"It's fine and now I'm on a year break from school to assist my mum and also be there for my little sister."

"I will like to meet your sister one of this days and I actually have been wondering why you haven't returned to school yet but I didn't want to be too forward that's why I kept mute."

"It's fine though. I don't really mind."

"But you minded the first day we met at the diner." I teased.

"I'm really sorry about that. Like I said that day, I was just being an ass. I don't even know what made me make that statement."

"It's fine, I was just joking." I said and lightly slapped him on his arm as we entered my street.

"Do you remember I told you that your school, UCLA is my dream school? though I don't know if I would eventually end up going if I get admitted."

"Yes, Why?"

"Nothing, I just changed my mind."

"Okay"

"So....at the party where we first met, you said you and Luke were on break and so you decided to visit him since you guys were schooling in separate schools. Have you actually started your one year break then?

"Yes, I actually finished the spring semester with them and I am expected to resume back next year's fall. I might have lied a bit there and also in the fact that Luke actually schools in this state and wasn't on any break because he goes from home and throws party on weekends whenever his parents are not home."

"Wow, It's fine though," I said. I mean you can't just  go about telling a stranger all that the first time you meet them so it's totally understandable.

"I'm glad and also I took the one year break to save money for my last two years in university. Funny story but my dad family still blames my mum for his death and had said since my dad didn't write a will before he died, none of his money  belonged to us."

"Wow, do people actually do that? I thought it happened just in movies. Can't you guys like sue them?" I asked because it sounded so absurd to me.

"It's complicated." he had replied with. He also told me the reason why he stopped partying, drinking and all was mainly because his dad last words to him was pertaining it.

He told me that he had learnt the only way to progress is to heal and to look forward to a better future. I also informed him I was taking a step and going to visit my dad on Saturday.

We stood at the front my house talking for a bit before he left. My mum had come to get use of Liam and I closeness though I haven't introduced them yet. I know the right time would come but not now I guess.
