Liam's POV
I woke up when I felt the sun hit my closed eyes. I turned to my side and opened my eyes to look at Shayne sleeping beside me. I smiled as I thought of how much I love her. She started to stir and I was suddenly afraid that I woke her up so I started to rub her shoulders―which was her "weak" spot. She falls asleep in an instant if I do that but of course I was wrong.
"Good morning, beautiful." I greeted her with a warm smile when she opened her eyes and a sleepy smile found its way to her lips that I've grown to be addicted to.
"Morning, Liam." She said in a voice thick of sleep and gave me a light peck on my cheek. She looked so alive when she smiles. If not for the cracked lips and pale face, the idea of her going through a hard time won't even enter your mind.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her, worried that she still felt sick. Last night, she threw up. It's not like it's something new but it was worse. And she throws up a lot!
"Fine. Better than last night. So what have you planned for today, hub?" She asked as I helped her sit up.
"Uhmm. You sure you wanna go out today, love? Maybe we should stay here and just have a lazy day." I suggested. I actually have something planned for today, but if she's feeling a tad bit of queasiness then I'd rather we stay here at home.
"Yes. I'm fine, Liam. Please? I wanna enjoy this day." She said with a small smile. I knew better. I knew what she meant behind those words and it hurt me a lot. But if that's her request, then so be it. We will enjoy this day.
"Okay then. Go take a shower, love. I'll make breakfast." I said and kissed the tip of her nose. I stood up and grabbed my shirt from the couch in our room. When she stood up, I can't help but notice how slim she is. Not fit, slim. I can almost see her bones. I remembered what Eleanor told me the other day;
"She hasn't been eating a lot lately. Maybe more or less 5 bites and she says she's full. I don't want to force her so I give vitamins instead. I'm sorry, Liam. I really want to help but I don't know what to do."
She must have felt my gaze when she looked up and gave me a small smile but it barely reached her eyes. "I love you." I heard her whisper. It broke my heart to hear her sound so weak.
"I love you too, babe. So much." I said and went out of our room to fix our breakfast. I had to because if I stayed there any longer, I know I would break down in front of Shayne and that's the last thing she would want to see me do.
