Chapter 36

Liz Collins

"He isn't here." Tori spoke when we entered my bedroom. "I didn't see him the entire event."

"Tor, trust me, he is here. I saw him in front of my own eyes." He looks the same except that he has become more built and taller than before, but his face was still like how I remembered it.

I'm sure it is really him. It can't be an imagination.

"Then how come I don't see him? I checked and he wasn't coming here." Tori said with curiosity.

"I'm sure it's definitely him. The reason why I was rushing to you and coming back here is because he almost saw my face, not to mention, I'm not wearing any contacts or glasses." My stomach was churning with nervousness and anxiety.

Why is he there all of a sudden? Tori said that he wasn't coming.

"I will check later. However, from now on, don't go to work, I will tell Sam that you're sick." Tori said and I nodded. It is pretty late. "Just go to bed and we will discuss this later with Alex and Sophia."

"OK." I agree even though I know that I'm not going to have a good sleep with horrible and cruel memories came rushing back to my head and silent tears flowing down my cheeks when I'm curling on my bed alone.

Morning came and as I said, my sleep was horrible. I am starting to get a headache real soon.

"Liz, oh, you're awake." Tori came into my room.

"Yeah?"

"Yes, he really is here. He came late yesterday. I think he is here because of a deal with some companies." Tori informed me.

"Then what now?"

"I don't think he is staying here anytime longer. I'm sure you can go back to work after he has left New York." Tori said. "Just... From now on, wear contacts and fake eye glasses."

"OK. How about brown contacts? I want to cover my green ones."

"Yeah, we do. I'm going to work now."

I nodded and went to take a shower. I ate breakfast and walked down to the basement since I wanted to train. It was really boring when you have nothing to do.

I actually don't feel well now. I think I'm having a headache for real. I took some pills and went to rest, waiting for Tori, so that we could have dinner together. I wanted to go and help Sally with the cooking, but she told me to rest.

I took a nap and when I woke up, I could tell it was already around 6:30. However, my eyes widened and my mouth opened when I saw there was someone in my bedroom, looking at me.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN MY BEDROOM?!" I threw one of my pillows at the person who kept staring at me.

"Is that how you treat the person who visited you?" He scoffed after he caught my flying pillow perfectly.

"Huh?" I turned to him after I had turned on the lights in my room.

"I heard that you were sick, so... I came to check up on you." Sam awkwardly rubbed his neck. I think he came here directly from work since he's still in his suit.

"Oh... How long have you been here? And how do you get in?" I started my interrogation.

"Long enough to hear your loud snores and I got in through the door, not the window." He shrugged.

"Wow... Thanks to you. I'm feeling very better now." I rolled my eyes.

"You're welcome, darling." He smirked.
