"I have to go," I look at the clock by the wall, I only had 30 minutes left to prepare, "I'm going to be late. I don't have enough time to go back home." I say, standing up, and pacing back and forth. I couldn't wear what I was wearing right now to school, it was crumpled and didn't smell 100% pleasant.

He sits up and smiles, "Go in my shower and take a bath. I'll take care of the clothes you'll wear." He says.

I nod and head over to his bathroom, immediately stripping off my clothes. I take only five minutes to shower - a whole new record for me. I couldn't put on make up, since I had none in my purse so I had no choice but to leave my face looking pale. Who cares?

I step out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around me. My hair was dripping wet and I hope Liam won't get mad at me for wetting his bedroom floor. I stand on the rug, wondering where Liam was. He wasn't on the bed anymore. He's probably outside helping me look for clothes that I could wear.

A few minutes pass, and Liam finally enter the room with clothes on his arms. He hands them to me, "Here, I found a few clothes that my sisters left when they came here to visit."

I smile and take it from him. "Thanks!" I reply, kissing him on the cheek. I hurriedly go back to the bathroom and changed as fast as possible. Liam had given me blue pants with a printed cute yellow top. It looked so good. I dry my hair and hang up the towel.

I go back to Liam's room to see that he was sleeping again next to Lux. "Bye, Li. Thanks again." I tell him, giving him another kiss on the cheek. He moves a bit, and snuggles closer to Lux. I quietly get out of the room and run out of the flat, to my car.

Five minutes left before classes start, and I find myself running. Thank goodness I had worn sneakers yesterday! I enter the room, glad that my professor wasn't there yet. I take my usual seat by the window and grab my phone out. There was a message from Liam.

Leeyum:
I woke up and you weren't here anymore. I'm sorry I fell asleep again. Hope the clothes fit you! Good luck in class today! :) xx

I type in my reply,

Me:
It's okay, Li. I didn't mind. The clothes fit me really well. Thank you so much! You're a life saver! Thanks! See you later, maybe? :)) xxx

I send my message to him just as my Art Professor steps inside the room. My phone beeps and I open Liam's message:

Leeyum:
You're very much welcome, love. Okay then, I'll drop by your house after your classes end. Which is exactly around what time, may I ask?

I hurriedly type in my reply, hoping my Professor won't catch me texting.

Me:
Classes end at 6 pm. Gotta go. Class is starting.

I turn my phone off in case Liam sends a message because I know I won't be able to resist replying to it.

It's 6:30 pm, and I arrive home to see Liam sitting on the front porch steps. I park my car and get out, walking over towards him. I give him a hug. "Dad's not home?" I ask.

He shakes his head, "No one answered when I knocked."

I nod, and took my house keys from my bag and unlocked the door. We both step in and I switch the lights on in the house. I go to the kitchen and see a note on the refridgerator from Dad. Liam walks in the kitchen, "What does it say?" He asks, sitting on a stool by the counter.

"He's having some man-to-man time with Uncle Ed down a few blocks from here." I reply, heading to the sink to wash my hands. "Have you eaten dinner?" I ask.
