I Won't let you go

Chapter 8: Chicago Pt 1

Liza's POV

I was sad to leave Texas and my mum and dad but at the same time I was super excited to meet Davids family. He always talks about how nice they are, well he has never talked about his Dad... I decided to ask him about it on the plane to Chicago.
L- David can I ask you something
D- Yeh babe?
L- Why do you never talk about your dad?
David sighs.
D- I guess I should tell you sooner or later anyway

(Italics are flashbacks)

My mum hadn't had any of my siblings yet it was just me and her, my dad abused me from a young age but neither my mum nor I had the strength to man up to him. Then one day he just left us. He took all our money and our car and left us, so my mum has to find work where she met my siblings dad. He was no better though just the same old stuff. Then my mum kicked him out and yeh I haven't seen him since.

L- David.... I didn't know
D- it's fine
David avoids eye contact for the rest of the flight and I can see tears in his eyes, ugh I'm so dumb why did I ask him that. I'm and idiot I should have known it was a dodgy topic.

When we got of the plane and got through the airport we called an uber and told it to take us directly to Davids old house. In the uber it was very awkward as none of us said anything. I decided I had to break the silence before we arrived at his mums house.
L- David i shouldn't have asked
D- It's just....
Tears started to roll down his face , I brought him in closer to me and wiped away his tears with my thumb, then I planted a kiss on his lips and whispered to him
L- You have me now, he won't ever hurt you again
D- I love you pookie
L- I love you too buba
We just cuddled the rest of the uber drive and at some point I fell asleep on Davids shoulder as it was a very long drive...

Davids POV

I'm so excited to see my family, especially Toby as sometimes I feel like I left him to be the man of the house. I'm glad Liza and I made up as I don't know what I would do without her to be honest, she is amazing and who cares about dads anyway? I love Liza to the moon and back and I don't know ant I would do without her.
