The deepest part of my soul

Chapter 30

„Do you have a suit?" I was not surprised that at this question Liam raised his eyebrows and made a very interesting face.      

„Why?" He asked then as I sat down across from him.

„Because soon there will be a competition in which I will participate and an elegant appearance is a requirement."

„Why would you invite me?" He continued to be confused. Of course, this was not surprising, as it was quite unusual for me. But Shannon has already done so much for me, helped me so much, that I somehow wanted to repay her goodness and kindness. I didn't know exactly how she felt about Liam, but I wanted to give them a chance, one more to talk and this time to clear things up properly.

„Because I'm nice?" He just snorted at that. „Okay, maybe I'm not nice." Another snort. „Alright, I am not nice." I corrected myself. „However, I want to give you and Shannon a chance to discuss everything thoroughly."

„I told Shannon right then and there that I was done with her. I was dead serious."

„Would you let your pride and stubbornness get in your way?"

„She said, who is also too stubborn and proud." Of course, Seth had to show up again.

„Sometimes that's all that's left." He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

„But it could be more. Shannon..." I would have continued, but he waved me off.

„I'm tired of Shannon." His look, his whole being, suggested exactly that. Bleak fatigue. „I waited so long for her to finally notice, but it never happened. I don't want to wait any longer. I'm not saying it was wasted time because I enjoyed being with her, but that's not enough for me anymore."

„But what if she wants more too?" I saw a glimmer of interest in his eyes.

„That's unlikely." He sighed. „She would have done something then, wouldn't she?"

„She thought of you as her friend, and friends don't get on top of each other."

„Unless that friend is really hot." He tried to joke but it was lackluster.

„More seriousness, please." He just nodded. „You mean more to Shannon than you know. She was jealous of your girlfriends and they annoyed her."

„Really?" He looked like he had been shot into an unknown galaxy.

„Yes." I stated firmly. „But I won't say more. Decide what you're going to do with this information, but in the way that this might be your last chance. Here's the ticket." I slid it in front of him. „Choose well." I waved and then stood up and left him there.

Fortunately, I've finished my classes for today, so there's nothing to do. Rhys was pretty busy these days so I'd rather not bother him. He has a lot of work, and he told me that there was a little tension between him and Édoard. I hope they solve their problems soon. Maybe Édoard doesn't like me and the feeling is mutual, but he's still a good friend to Rhys.

I really should practice, but I'm tired of repeating the same pieces over and over again. I still couldn't decide which one to present and the deadline was approaching. I would like a divine inspiration or something to tell me what to do. Sometimes it's so hard to decide. I just want a little weight off my shoulders. Too much to ask, right?

I was about to get into my car when my phone rang. I quickly took it out of my jacket and answered.

„Rhys?" I asked in surprise and could almost see his smile in front of me.

„I just have time to catch my breath, so I thought I'd call you." My heart warmed up. Rhys is just like that. „Tell me how your plan went?"

„I don't know." I sighed. „I talked to Liam but I have no idea what he will do..."
