BLAKE

Chapter 37

"Can you stop the car please?" I asked Liam no long after he started to drive home.

"Of course. Are you okay? You look so pale."

"Not really." I got out of the car in a hurry, I wanted to throw up. I guess all those emotions haven't been good for me. 

"Are you alright?" Liam came next to me and placed his hand on my lower back. 

"I don't know what's happening, I just, I don't feel good." 

"It's okay just breath, you need some fresh air. I think it was too much stress for today, I shouldn't have pushed you like that."

I breathed in and out for a few minutes, Liam was next to me, soothing me. 

"I feel better. I think it's gone." 

"Great. Let's just stay here a few more minutes, just in case."

"Yeah." 

I rubbed my stomach and looked up, realizing what a beautiful place we were in. We were not very far from where Liam had tried to teach me how to drive, the night had fallen and the road was wild and deserted. We could see the mountains from afar and thousands of stars lit up the sky. 

"Wow, the view is beautiful." I almost whispered. "There are no city lights, no sound, no one. This is so peaceful. It's just the two of us." I looked at him and smiled. 

"You never complain." He shook his head, " I just yelled at you for two hours and still you're here talking about the city lights. You're always so kind."

"That's because as long as I am with you, I'm happy." I looked up to the sky and felt the pain in my heart. "I was so sad before I met you. I was lost, alone in a world where everybody hated me. Even my own mother..." I looked down trying to keep the tears from falling, my lips trembling. 

He came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder. 

"Was she always mean to you?" 

"Yes." I closed my eyes remembering every painful memory of what she did to me. "Always." 

"Why doesn't she love me? What did I do to deserve this?"

"That woman is insane, she doesn't deserve your love." He paused. "And I can't make her suffer, just say the word and I'll send her to hell." 

I turned around to face him, my eyes wild in shock. 

"She's my mom, I don't want you to hurt her." I rested my head against his chest and he wrapped me in his arms. "I don't want anyone to hurt her."

"You're too nice..." I know I am but I can't help it. She's my mother and I will always seek for her love, even thought I know it's stupid. "But I guess that's why I love you." 

My heart stopped when I heard those words and I froze for a moment. 

I looked up at him with wide eyes. 

"You... Love me?" I asked, looking him straight in the eyes. "You never said it before."

"You know I'm not good at this. I mean, showing my feelings and all this shit but, it doesn't mean I don't love you. Because I do. I really do Blake, I just... I'm not used to being a boyfriend and all and I-"

"I know." I put my index finger on his lips to shush him, he doesn't have to explain, I know he's not playing with me, he's just... Not used to expressing his feelings. "And I love you too." 

I placed my lips on his and we kissed, slowly, taking our time to enjoy this moment. 

He loves me, he said those three words that scared him so much.
