LIAM LAID IN HIS BED, WIDE AWAKE. Tomorrow was his first day as a senior in high school. The new Beacon Hills high school was more modern, and there was a professional computer lab only for juniors and seniors, it made Liam excited.

But once again, it had been a bit more than a year since his second mother, Lilac, had definitely died. The funeral had been awkward. It was her second one, and even though there was a possibility of her coming back, when her coffin was lowered into the ground, everyone knew she wouldn't.

Eliza was there, and had cried softly into her mother's arms. No one except the pack knew what had happened to Andrea, and everyone suspected she'd left or ran away. However, the guys had cremated her, and her ashes had been thrown into the wind, just like Andrea's mother had asked them to.

During the time that the soil was thrown onto the blonde's coffin, Liam was hit by reality.

Lilac
Was
Gone

They'd never see her again
Hear her
Touch her
Tell her
How much he enjoyed being with her

She was gone.

Since then, Liam had picked up a great love for poetry, and his muses were no one less than his family, the pack.

But Lilac...
Her poems were the best.

The day of her funeral, the language arts teacher she used to have decided to have one of her best poems be pasted to the trees and mailboxes in the town.

Oh, Say Can You See?
Written by Lilac Sky

Can you see that golden halo?
The one that surrounds us
Under the gray sky?

Can you see that pretty shy girl?
The one that cries to sleep
And cries and cries?

Can you see the clueless blue man?
The one that doesn't realize
How much he makes her
Cry?

Scott thinks that's how Liam started writing poems about her, since it was obvious they were all for her.

Scott had found him leaving letters from him to her on her grave, before he cried.

And cried.
And cried.

Once, Scott took a picture of one of them and kept it for himself. Stiles caught him in the act, but they were too hollow to say sorry.

They were always hollow.

Dear Lily,

I'm having nightmares. About you leaving me. I don't want that to happen. Please don't leave me.

Hayden thinks it's childish and silly of me to write to you. It isn't, right? Can I still write?

So far I've cried myself to sleep two days in a row. The other days in the week I've had to take sleeping pills. Stiles takes them too. I've seen him refill his bottle at the hospital. He's never around anymore, at least close to me.

Probably cause I always talk about you. He still loves you. He says it isn't right of us to continue talking about you, he says you aren't resting.

I don't know what to think.

I miss you.

Liam Dunbar.

One chapter per letter for Lilac from a different character.
Lots of love xx
