Enchanted

Liam

"Mom!", i yelled as i saw my mother standing in our backyard.

I run to her and we both start hugging each other. We stand there in each others arms until my mom asks me what going on. And thus is the beginning of our conversation. This goes on until i hear the back door to the backyard slam open.

Curious, i turn around to find out the source of it. It turns out to be my dad and hes furiously approaching me. I look back to my mom for help but shes not there anymore. I find myself being thrown across the yard. Then on the floor he starts kicking me.

"You are not my daughter nor are you Lindas! Your an ugly screw up that no body wants! Your an ugly motherfuc-"

"Wake up!!"

I open my eyes to a dark figure standing before me. Before thinking, i jump out of bed and throw my arms around him. My tears start soaking the fabric of his shirt. Before i know it, his hands are around my waist and stroking my hair in a reassuring way.

I continue to sob and completely drown us in tears for what feels like hours. Finally, i get my act together and pull away from him although all i want is to cry until i have the whole world covered in my tears. But i have promised my mom that ill be strong and if not, just dont cry.

I honestly thought that the person i was hugging would be Kobe but as i took a step back i realized that it would be common sense that it would be Liam. I wipe my tears trying to stall because i know this is gonna be awkward.

"Are you okay?", he asks sincerely. At first, im surprised and shocked that he can be sincere.

"Im okay... Thanks.", i awkwardly say and im starting to wonder how this happened. Last night i came in my room and... That right. I forgot to take my sleeping pills last night because i cried myself to sleep. I roll my eyes at how stupid i am and stop myself from slapping my self. If only i hadnt been stupid i wouldnt be in this awkward mess.

"Seriously, what happened?", he demands.

"Isnt it obvious??!!"

"No."

I sigh while taking a step back with my eyes at my feet and say," ive been having trouble sleeping so im using sleeping pills but i forgot to take one last night."

Liam stares at my eyes and into my soul for the longest time that i squirm under the weight of his eyes. It was as if he was trying to figure out what lies behind these tired eyes. In the dark, i couldnt see the captivating colors of his intense eyes. Taking my eyes off of his, i focused on the open bathroom door behind him and tried to tame my heart beats.

Suddenly, Liam grabs my chin and tilts it so that my eyes align with his. His eyes were no longer hard but soft and caring.

"Look at me. You are part of this house now and if any one puts just a scratch on you, i will guarantee that they will not live to see the light of tomorrow."

I was speechless and shocked at how his words were caring but brutal at the same time. A big, fat tear ran down my cheek as i fully processed his words.

It took me so much just to keep from sobbing again in front of Liam. After the accident, i was so tired of crying and forced myself to stop crying and get over it. I guess that should also apply to right now. The accident also left me so numb that i cant comprehend what im feeling right now. It reminds me of the time when my mom just underwent a risky surgery to shrink the tumor in her chest. My father and i sat in the waiting room overnight, not moving an inch. When we found out that it was successful, we were all crying a river next to her hospital bed. Those tears were filled with an overwhelming sadness but also mixed in with a bright shade of happiness. Thats kind of what im feeling right now.

Maybe its cause i actually have someone to hold me since such a long time. Once again i bite my lip, trying to suppress the unclassified feelings radiating from every pore of my body. I wanted so bad just to lean on him once more but i was afraid that he might reject me just like everybody else. Instead, it was Liam that ended up clearing the internal war going on in my head and holding me in his arms again. I decided not to pull away but to enjoy this moment and not let it affect me. I couldnt risk to get close to anybody because i need to understand that im alone and theres nothing i can do about it.
