The Surrogate Mother.

Heartbreaking moment.

CHAPTER 2.

"O-kay" I responded skeptically because whatever he wanted to talk to me about sounded too serious. And I didn't think I'd be able to handle anymore bad news. I allowed him as he led me back to the couch where we sat and faced each other.

Firstly he released a sharp breath and took my hands onto his once again. I knew deep down that wasn't a good start but I didn't say anything. I gave him sometime because he looked uneasy, he didn't even know where to start. He didn't have as much of a courage to tell me what he wanted me to know. But I could feel deep down my gut that whatever he had to say, I wasn't going to like it. But I hoped that it wasn't going to break my heart further. Instead I gave him a benefit of the doubt. He had never given me any reasons not to trust him nor doubt him.

"There's no other way to put this so I'm just gonna say it..." I felt my heart racing a mile a minute and I was officially starting to freak out as he told me.
I saw the mask of discomfort on his face as if he was contemplating on how to choose his words correctly. Since I arrived he hadn't even addressed me with my pet name that he gave me and that was also a huge red light an indication that there was definitely something wrong. "My squishy bar" Liam had never forgot to address me as such.

"Say what Liam? You're making me nervous" I found myself asking him anxiously as he let go of my hands and started rubbing them on his thighs nervously. His left foot bouncing up and down in doing so, seemingly unable to release the words out of his throat.

"I'm leaving you Adira..." he said it a little too loud for my liking, then he paused while looking at me seemingly waiting for my reaction. It frightened me that I knew what he meant. The heavy clarity in his tone wasn't talking about leaving me for a vacation.

For a moment there background noise went blurry. The sound of the lively city from outside the building that was loud when i entered the room were quickly muffled into unclear noises. I could only hear Liam's words repeating loudly in my head and ringing sirens as if someone had hit me hard with a brick in the head.

I chuckled a little not convinced and looked at him "Liam what are you talking about".

I thought that maybe it was a joke but the scary part was that he wasn't laughing. His face was straight and serious although his eyes were a bit tender.
It was apparent that this wasn't a joke.
I felt like the world was suddenly spinning around me. I could instantly recognize my vision going blurry, but I didn't realize that was because tears had started falling down my face. I stared at him without blinking, my mouth slightly parted in shock. I was searching through his face for some contradiction but there was none.

"Liam- wha- what do you mean you're leaving me?" After what felt like eternity I finally managed to ask him softly in an unconvinced manner not believing that his words were true.
But i was asking the obvious because I was reluctant to accept the truth behind his words. I wanted to believe that my ears were deceiving me, that Liam wasn't breaking up with me. At least, not on the very same day that i already had my heart broken.

"Adira listen to me-" the look on his face? It was unclear, I didn't know whether it was the look of shame or the look of concern and regret or whether he was simply feeling sorry for me. With just how he had strictly called out my name I knew he was serious. The tears had aggressively clouded my vision and was running down my face.

"Wha-why? Did I do something wrong? Was it something I said?. I'm sorry Liam please tell me and we can talk about it and sort it out huh? Like we always we do" I was pleading with him. I thought maybe I had done something to upset him. But whenever we disagreed on something we would always talk it out and be fine again. Chances of us breaking up after an argument were very slim, which made me wonder what mistake I did, so unforgivable that he would rather leave me.
I ignored the feeling that told me that there was nothing there to fix.
