Endless Lines

Love Isnt Weakness But Strength

Chapter 27

Liam sat there, reminiscing of the day before. Where did he go wrong, he shared his feelings like his sister told him to. They had even kissed, it was the best kiss Liam experienced his whole life. It was enlightening, something he had never felt before yet it was as if everything was wrong.

"Are you okay?" Maya asked, leaning against the boys doorframe. Liam scoffed, putting on a small smile "Why wouldn't I be?"

She shrugged, letting herself in. "Want to go for a run?" She asked, messing around with the stuff on his desk. His brows lifted "You run?"

"Yeah, within my free time" She shrugged, looking over to the boy. "But its way better with company and right now it seems like you could use some"

"Let me get changed, I'll meet you outside" He stood up, stretching his arms. She nodded, leaving the room.

Liam grabbed a grey tank top and some black sweat pants, he fixed his hair a bit in the mirror before heading out to the back of the school where the track was. Maya was surely waiting on him. She smiled "Lets get that heart of yours beating"

She dashed down the track, Liam following quickly behind. He forgot how good it felt to get his legs moving in his human form, to let his feet bounce off the dirt, for the wind to hit his bare face. He smiled, his arms swinging infront of him as he pushed harder to catch up to Maya. He ran beside her, smirking at the girl. "Is that all you got ?" He yelled, pushing harder and running ahead of her. "Not at all young wolf !" She yelled back, running after him.

Hope stood in the background, watching the two. She told Maya to go see Liam, she thought the boy could use a friend. After all she heard what happened between Liam and Theo, she was just going to wait till Liam himself told her.

"Hes okay." Jo mumbled, grabbing hold of the auburnettes hand. "Your brothers a heartbreaker" She looked to her girlfriend with a chuckle. "He gets that from Lizzie"

"I have to go see your father, wish me some luck" She walked backwards, slightly smiling at her girlfriend as she did. "He doesnt know anything, Hope" Jo replied, laughing. "We'll find out !" She ran off, going to the mans office.

"Hope, sit" He pointed to the seat infront of her and she frowned. "Mrs Tig has told me you and Liam have only made it to a total of one of your meetings."

"We've been busy, Alaric" She pointed out, crossing her arms over her chest. "This is your therapist. You shouldnt be too busy to go see her. I'm trying to help you give me some leeway"

"I have given you leeway Alaric, we've attended a meeting. Its better than none"

"You're so stubborn." He groaned. "I'm stubborn?" She sniffed the air, making sure the smell was right. "You're still drinking."

"Thats none of your business" He clapped back. "Oh really?" She pushed him aside, moving to his drawers and pulling out the bottles. "It is my business when you're drinking in a school that my father paid for. Its my business when you're drunk in the middle of the day. Do your kids know?"

"I'm an adult !" He yelled, stuffing the many bottles back into his drawer. She looked him over. "Right now, you're acting like a child"

"You don't talk to me that way." He spoke, all high and mighty. "Either go see Emma or I'm taking away your privileges, get the hell out of my office"

Hope stood there, her hands clasped behind her back. "I'm disappointed in you, Alaric"

She walked away without another word, slamming his door. Then stood Jo, the auburnette didn't like for the girl to see her angry. Hope didn't even like for herself to get angry, she was usually a calm individual only a selective few could get under her skin. Especially Alaric.
