Oh god. I keep breathing deeply. Everything starts flashing back, Why's Liam calling me? This can't be a coincidence. I hold the phone tightly in my hand and close my eyes.
~ ~ ~ ~ "Are you even listening to yourself right now?! It was a fucking desert in that hallway. NO ONE was there. And your Liam just comes outta nowhere. He was the only one there! Even if it wasn't him. He came down that staircase. Didn't he?"
"So he should have noticed the only door that was unlocked, obviously he didn't. And you must be fucking blind if you didn't notice that Liam wasn't very calm, when he came down. He was sweating, he was nervous."
Chloe: HEEY! Where are you? Your phone's busy. Is Jasper oka...
"Who was he?"
He didn't do it.
"Liam?"
He's my-" boyfriend? NO! No. "I don't know, um, someone I-" trust? I'm not sure. "He didn't do it."
He didn't do it.
I know he didn't do this to Jasper. He came down that staircase.
He didn't do it.
Fucking blind if you didn't notice that Liam wasn't very calm, when he came down. He was sweating, he was nervous.
But he didn't do it, I know.
Boyfriend? Trust?
Fucking blind! ~ ~ ~ ~
Aaaggghhggg!! Stop Stop !!! STOP PLEASE!
Snatches my phone, "if you can't deal with your problems don't invite them" I tremble and wake myself up.
I look up, it's Dan. "Gimme my phone back."
Chuckles "why are you shaking?"
"Because I was napping and you snatched my phone. Give me back. MY PHONE."
"Calm down. I'm getting myself a coffee, I'll get one for you too." His usual grumpy voice was on but just polite. "Go wash your face. you'll feel better." Dude has some serious problem. once he's all rough and angry the next moment he's sane and gives caring advice.
"Sure. you didn't look that concerned back in the town hall. All I could hear was crazy, stubborn little shit. and wotnot."
I lets go of a long sigh "Listen I- I tend to be rough, when it concerns my loved ones. And I don't expect you to understand that. whatever I told you on the way here wasn't-" His eyes fall on the screen, when it vibrates. He chuckles again, a more evil one this time "Ah. of course this son of bitch is calling you." Dan looks at me "maybe I should have a little chat with your Liam"
"Dan, I have told you this before, he has nothing to do with it." His smile fades away, a much darker expression's visible on his face.
"What has this guy done to you?" He asks, with furrowed eyebrows and curiosity.
"What?"
He takes a moment before he speaks the next few words "you're so madly in love with him"
"I'm not."
Chuckles again "Yeah, of course" says sarcastically.
He comes and sits beside me, giving me the phone. And slowly rubbing my back. Hands me over a handkerchief. I look at him blankly.
"Wipe that off your face, it makes you look funny."
I furrow my eyes, tears don't make me look funny. Stupid
