Obsessed with Perfection

Chapter 32

I knocked on the door lightly, it is still early but I need to see Liam. The door opened and his mother was standing before me.

"Danielle, good morning." She barely spoke

"Morning, is Liam awake?" I ask

"Um yea, but he isn't really feeling well." She cleared her throat

"Is he sick? It really won't take me long; I just need to check on him" I respond with pleading eyes

"He's not um, himself right now. He is having an episode." She mumbled the last part

"Episode?" I could hear glass breaking. She sighed and let me in

"He hasn't been seeing his therapist and he hasn't been taking his medication." She ran her fingers through her hair

"May I?" I ask

"Just don't get too close to him, he has to go back to court for something and he didn't take that well as you can see" I could hear him cursing. I slowly made my way upstairs. His door was open; I walked in quietly and closed it. He was in his bathroom and it sounded like he was looking for something. I poked my head in the bathroom and he was rummaging through his cabinet. Blood was trickling down his right arm.
"Where in the hell is it?" He grumbled

"Liam" I called out making him turn around. He looked at me and his lip was busted and he had a cut above his eyebrow. He looked drained and angry. He turned back around and continued to look through the cabinet.

"Go, I don't want you here right now" His voice was groggy and stressed

"Let me help you Liam" I say softly

"I am getting tired of people telling me that I need help" He says referring to his mental state. He tossed a glass cup towards the shower wall making me jump. The sound of the glass echoed throughout the small bathroom. 

"No, you're bleeding and bruised up. Let me take care of you" I say in the most soothing voice

"I can take care of myself, I am not a little—I cut him off

"I know you are capable, but I want to take care of you so let me" I walk over to him and slowly put my hand on his shoulder. I expected him to shrug me off, but he didn't. "I don't like seeing you in pain" I turn him around and his eyes meet mine. I motion for him to sit on the counter. I look around for his first aid kit and I finally found it under the sink. I grab a cloth, wetting it and I wipe the dried up blood away from his lip and eye brow. I examine his hand and see lots of blood and cuts. I grab his tweezers and pour alcohol all over it. "This will burn" I told him. I pull out pieces of glass and he tenses up. I take the cloth and rinse more of the blood off. I take peroxide and pour it on his hand. I wrap his hand up, and kiss it lightly. He grabs my face lightly and stares at me.

"Your brother felt the need to visit me last night. He punched me in the face, so I felt the need to mark his face for a few days. I would have done more but he was tipsy and he is your brother so I left it alone. He really hates me Dani, and I don't blame him. I am being so selfish when it comes to you. I know that I can damage you and cause danger in your life, but I have never met anyone like you. The things I would do to you and for you would blow your mind. I can't do these things because of who I am" He played with the hem of my shirt

"I don't care about the things that you have done, that was in the past we are living for now. Liam I- I really like you" I look up at him expecting for him to laugh

"Well Dani I really like you too."

"No Liam, like isn't even the word to use to describe my feelings towards you"

"Trust me, like isn't my word either." He muttered

"Liam what are we?"

He laughed shaking his head "More than friends Dani and I think you knew that already"

"What is your definition of being more than friends?" I ask and he exhales deeply and stands up. He stands in front of me; he grabs my hand and gets on his knees. I tilt my head sideways and he looks up at me.

I laughed and looked down at him "Liam what are you doing?" he smiled

"Proposing to you" He clears his throat "Will you do the honors of being my girlfriend?" He asks with a serious tone to his voice. I can't help but to laugh at him. "Stop, stop laughing Dani I am being serious" He grabs my hands tighter. "This will be the first time I have ever got on my  knees for anybody, so you should feel exceptional"

"Yes Liam, I will do the honors of being your girlfriend"

"May I kiss my girlfriend now?" He asks and I love the sound of that already

"You may kiss the girlfriend" He stands up and grabs my face, his lips met mine and I enjoyed every minute of it.
