Why? Why me?

chapter 54

Today i decided to just go over to Liam's. My parents weren't home most of the day so, i didn't want to stay by myself, therefore i went to his house. I threw over a sweater, some jeans and sneakers. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and out a bow on. I don't know, but lately I've been wearing bows with every hairstyle i do, i guess i just like them. Also i grabbed a little present i bought for Liam.

I closed the door from behind me, and walked over to his yard, then knocked on the door. Liam opened after a few minutes, and he looked like he just woke up. "Em? What are you doing here so early?" "Liam, it's eleven p.m. it's not that early anymore" "right" he yawned, then noticed he was on his boxers. I was blushing "yeah, i better go change, give me a minute, come in" he yawns again and rubs his eyes. I go in and smell that familiar vanilla scent in the air. I go over to the couch "i'm going to watch tv while you change" "that's fine" he says and goes upstairs.

After a while he comes down,  he took a shower and changed his clothes.
"That was more than a minute" i say. He smiles "i'm sorry, i kinda fell asleep in the shower" i laugh and he sits down next to me. "So what brought you here" he puts an arm around me and i snuggle, laying my head on his shoulder. "I don't know, i kinda missed those days when we used to see each other every day" "yeah i do too once on a while" i look up at him. He does not look like his usual self, he looks different.
He got a haircut that makes him look super cute, that's what.
"You really do?" I ask "yeah" "i brought you something" i pull it out of my pocket and he takes it "Em you didn't have to" "but i wanted to" i say. He grins "could i open it?" "Yeah go ahead" I say. He opens it.
It's a necklace. It's a sun necklace. "Em? I'm a guy. I don't wear this" "oh heall yeah you do" "since when?" "Since right now" "you're making me wear a necklace?" I nod "give me a reason" he says. I stand up "Because i have one too. It's a star, and you are the sun! It's like a friendship necklace" i say. He smiles, stands up, and says "all right fine, I'll wear it" he says. "So Liam.....what do you say we go back to hanging out everyday?" "Yeah, i don't even know why we stopped in the first place" "i don't either" i say. He opens his arms and receives me into a warm hug i had waited for all this time. I hug him for a good time, then break apart. "Can we watch tv?" He nods. "And, i got a snack" he grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen. "MY FAVORITE!" I yell and hug him "whoah girl, you're about to tackle me" i laugh and grab the bowl of strawberries and grapes, then plop down on the couch "can i have some?" He asks. I look at him for a long time "fine" i put the bowl between us.

One of the things we have in common, is good taste for food. We know a tasty strawberry just by looking at it. I look at the perfect strawberry and grab it, but Liam puts his fingers around it. I look at him, and then we start a fight. He stands up, stretches his arm upwards with the strawberry and sticks his tongue out. I run over, try to tackle him, then i see it doesn't work, so i start tickling him, and i actually tackle him. Then, i grab his arm and bite the strawberry.
"Good one Em, good one" he says standing up. I was sitting down eating the remainders of the strawberry. He stretches his hand to lift me up, i take it, then stand up.
"All that for a strawberry?" Gus asks, then laughs. "Gus!!" I run up the stairs and hug him. "Hey there sweetie, how have you been?" "Good you?" "Same" he says, then continues "so what i just saw was only for a strawberry" "yeah" Liam scratches the back of his neck "it was the best one in the bowl, so Em and i both wanted it" "yes" i say, then realize how stupid the reason we were fighting  for was.
After that we just watched Netflix and then i went home. That was pretty much my day.
