More Than Friends

Chapter 17

Liam’s POV;

Gosh, why am I acting like such an ass? I thought. Emily didn’t deserve this, she didn’t do anything, it was Danielle that drove me to drinking so much last night. I felt like crap, I was close to telling Emily about last night and then mom called and during diner I felt so bad for dumping my stuff on her I just avoided her looks. I could tell she was keeping an eye out on me but I didn’t want that for her, she already had enough problems lately. Then there was a knock on the door, ‘Liam, can I come in?’, it was Emily. I walked up to the door and opened and walked back to my bed and just dropped down on it. She walked in and sat down on the edge of my bed. ‘Are you ok?’, she asked and I just shrugged. ‘Come on, I can notice somethings up, you can tell me if you’d like’, she said. I did want to tell her as I felt save and trusted her but I really didn’t want to burden her. ‘I don’t know’, I answerred and she just looked at me. ‘It’s ok, you won’t burden me or something if you think that’ she said and I started crying. She came closer to me, pulled me up and hugged me. ‘It’s ok’, she said, ‘Let it out, it’ll be ok.’ I ended up telling her all about Danielle and my drinking the night before. It felt good telling her, she really listened to me and calmed me down. Around 11pm she had to go home and I walked with her to her house, as we walked up the driveway I grabbed her hand and looked her

in the eyes; ‘I really liked talking to you tonight, it really helped, thank you.’ ‘Ofcourse’, she replied, ‘That’s what friends are for’ and she walked inside.
