"You're pissed at me" I realise as I turn to Liam. "Why are you pissed at me Liam?"

"I'm not pissed at you" Liam responds as we continue to walk in the direction of my car. "I'm just holding a grudge."

"A grudge about what?" I question. "What did I do? If it's about summer I'm sorry-"

"It's not about the summer" Liam interrupts with an eye roll. "It's about what you said that night. It hurt At."

"What night?"

"The night Giagiá died."

I stare back at Liam for a long moment trying to remember until I'm taken back to that night. I am sat on a bench outside with my knees tucked into my chest, my eyes are bloodshot and I'm glaring at Liam, who is sat beside me.

"I'm fine" I scoff sarcastically with an eye roll. "My parents are dead. Giagiá is dead. Derek, the only kinda family I had, has left. I have no one left."

"You have me" Liam pleads, he quickly corrects himself, "I mean the pack."

"You guys aren't my family" i sigh with bitterness laced in my voice. "You're just people."

"I know it doesn't do much, and you didn't want to hear my apology, but I'm sorry Atlas. I'm sorry that this is happening to you. I'm sorry that you're too much of a coward to take my help."

"Shit" I mutter to myself as I run my hand through my hair. "I was angry, Li-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses, At" Liam scoffs as he begins to walk away from me."

"I'm sorry!"

Liam sighs as he turns to face me, a small smile creeping onto his face. "Was that so hard to say?"

I groan as I put my hand over my heart and fake a cough as I fall onto my knees. "Liam."

I watch as Liam begins to panic, thinking that my trick is real. "A?" He shakes my side as I shut my eyes. "Atlas!" Liam slaps my chest as he still panics.

I begin to chuckle, causing Liam to glare at me. I open my eyes and sit up, still laughing, "you're so gullible. You were all A! Atlas!" I mock in the most girly tone I can do.

"You're a dick" Liam scoffs with an eye roll as he shoves me. "I am also pissed about summer by the way."

"Liam-"

"You hid away all summer Atlas. I didn't see you once!"

"I didn't hide from anyone, I just didn't bother reaching out. I was learning how to survive on my own. If you came looking for me I wouldn't have run and hid. Well I'm sorry that too I guess."

"Soooo" I sing as Stiles turns the corner.

Stiles rolls his eyes before he turns to me, "Smartass, what do you want?"
