Lost Love

Chapter 4

V^V^V^V^V^V^V^ ONE WEEK LATER V^V^V^V^^V^

Today they added a little church service after my group therapy. It seems as though they are trying to ease me into all their weird methods to get me back to the "real me". Thankfully I got a new therapist so I wont have to deal with seeing Harrys mom everyday.

Throughout the whole group session and church service I find myself checking the time constantly waiting for 3:00 when I know Liam will be getting out of school and heading over here to deliver my school work and teach me. It seems suprising that I am looking forward to doing homework, but Liam is the only sane person that I actually like to talk to and being Liam, he makes me doing my homework, a priority.

I dont participate in the group session just like yesterday, instead I just stare at the girl across from me who is constantly falling asleep in the middle of her sentences - its actually pretty entertaining. I watch as she begins to tell the group how frustrating her life is and then she just passes out into a deep sleep. Then when everyone else is talking she just snores the whole time. I honestly feel bad for her but I am thankful she is here to entertain me.

During the church service, I am not paying attention to anything the minister is saying, just constantly checking the clock. When the service is over I race back to my room. As I get in the room I notice Liam isn't there so I take the time to put my hair into a messy bun and watch some Say Yes to the Dress.

At 3:30 the door to my room opens and Liam walks in. "Liam!" I say in a cheerful voice. A weak smile appears on his face. I can tell something is wrong immediately. His eyes remain fixed on the floor and he has big bags under his eyes. "Is everything alright?" I asked concerned.

"Ya. Lets just do homework." Liam says still avoiding eye contact. Its pretty ironic - seeing as I am the one in the mental hospital and Liam is the one who looks like crap.

"Liam." I say, "What is going on? Did you even sleep last night?" he just shakes his head and rubs is forehead. "Liam, you know you can tell me anything." I say rubbing his back.

"I dont think I can." Liam finally says. I widen my eyes in shock."I have told you everything. From every girl that I have liked to every meal that I have eaten. And you have told me everything as well except for the reason you stopped eating. I just want to help. Maybe if you would have told me why you stopped eating than you wouldn't be here. Do you think I find this fun? Having to drive 30 minutes after school just to come and teach you what we learned in school and do homework. And then have to go back home and deal with everyone asking about you! Hope you need to understand the whole world dosent revolve around you!" Liam finishes. I have never heard Liam so mad. It scares me, the look in his eyes, the red on his cheeks. I am left speechless. Liam pulls out his back pack and hands me my folder with all my work in it. I take it from him without a word.

We work on our homework in silence except for me asking a few questions about things I dont explain in which Liam answers with the shortest amount of words possible.

At 5:30 I finish my homework and stuff my papers back into the folder. "It was Harry." I say handing my folder back to Liam. Liam looks at me with a confused look. "Harry was the reason I stopped eating."

"You stopped eating over a boy?" Liam angerily says.

"Jeez someone is a little judgemental today." I say rolling my eyes. Liam laughs, but I am not sure at what he is laughing at. Is it the fact that I stopped eating because of a boy or because of what I just said about him being judgemental? I bite my lip as I wait for him to speak, nervous about what he might say. But instead he packs up his bag and starts walking out the door. "Hey! Where are you going? I told you about Harry now you have to tell me whats going on with you!" I yell as he begins to turn the door knob. He sighs and lets go of the doorknob.
