Regret

CHAPTER 15

Megan's POV

What just have I done? I talked to Liam about something so personal? I wonder what he is thinking right now. That I am crazy and make up adoption stories in order to make others feel bad for me.

I pull my phone from the back pocket of my jeans and try to find Liam's number. I decide to text him and tell him how sorry I am for what happened a couple of minutes ago.

'Hey Liam. It's Megan. Well, I just wanted to tell you a big sorry for what happened a couple minutes ago.' I send him the text and wait patiently for a reply.

'It's okay. I was actually thinking about you so I think we have to go out some day because we have issues to solve, don't you think?' I freeze and stare the screen of my phone. What is going on here?

'I have no problem. Tell me when you want us to go out' I simply reply him like it was something ordinary for me.

'Okay. See you'

Great. Don't you tell me now that he is not playing with me because it will be a total lie. I admit  I am super happy that he asked me out but maybe he wants to play with someone because after the break up with his girlfriend he was a bit down for so many days and I would like to be there to support him. Actually, I was the one for him when she brought him down and he trusted me like he knew me a lifetime. It was the best day of my life.

I am finally at home. When I step into my house I head to the living room and sit on the couch. I am so exhusted to go upstairs. I hate the houses that has stairs. It was all my 'mother's' opinion. She never let me decide or have an opinion about something. I hate her. She is not even my mother. How can I just love her?

A knock on the door stops my thoughts and cought me out of guard. I walk towards the door and stand behind it before I answer. A second knock sounds and I decide to answer. When I open the door I face a Liam turned into a wreck. Well, what's going on the last few days. Everyone has been disappeared or a wreck.

'Liam?' I almost whisper.

'Megan, look. Before you speak, I wanted to tell you how much you mean to me and that all this time long I was completely selfish to admit it. Okay, I've been a bitch towards you but all I wanted to do was to get you to talk to me because there wasn't any other way. You were and still are shy enough so it was a chance for you to support your nerves and yourself. Anyway, I broke up with my girlfriend because I wanted to be with you. Actually, there was a reason but I added this on my mind. I pictured us together.', he finishes. What the hell's going on here? Is this real?

'You always wait for the perfect to realise that you have to be with someone!' I fire.

'What?' he wonders. He takes a step forward and raise my hand to stop him.

'When I had no idea what a drink or a club means you never had the imagine of me and you being together, so what made you think that I am the right person for you and not just one more from these that the only thing they know how to do right is deceiving?' 

'I will be honest with you. I had no feelings for you since the night that I saw you in that club in one of our school parties.'  he explains.

'Look, I just learnt that I am addopted and now I hear a love confession from the one I like for so long time and most probably it's a prank. It's just too much for a day. Sorry, but you have to go.' I say and I gently push him out of my house. He looks up at me like I will change my mind but I'm definitely not doing this. The moment I push the door to close it, he pushes it open.

'Think about it. You have nothing to lose. You need support right now' He says and I nod. He walks the stairs down and steps into his car. I finally close the door and go upstairs to get dressed in order to go find a job to do. All I want is to leave this country and go somewhere else.

LIAM'S POV.

All I wanted from her was to understand me but it seems that I am not trustworth and I am not blaming her. I really have feelings for her. I might not have had feelings for her from the first day I met her but after a while she helped me a lot even when it wasn't her buissiness that's why she was the first place to go when I broke up.

END OF LIAM'S POV.

MEGAN'S POV.

Everyone's telling me that they don't need help at their shops and I am starting getting disappointed. In the thought only that I have to stay in a place that my life got into so many troubles, I feel the tears coming out and I can't stop them.

'Excuse me' a voice behind me says. I turn back and I see a guy with black hair.

'Your purse just fell on the road.' he says and comes closer giving it to me.

'Oh, thank you!' I say. He stares at me for a few seconds and I finally speak.

'Erm, something's wrong?' I ask.

'I am the one who has to ask' he tells me refering to my tears.

'Of course. I am fine. I just need a job and I can't find, that's all. When you do not need a job everyone is there searching for someone to help them in their shops and now as you can see nobody needs help.' I say in a playful way. God, this guy understands. I can see it in his eyes.

'I see. Well, I am Marc. Can I do something for you?' He offers.

'Nice to meet you, Marc. My name is Megan. As for you doing something for me it's clearly what I need right now' I say and at the end of my statement I let a smile go out.

'Let's go for a walk for now and later we can find something together.'

MARC'S POV.

I think I found the right person, I don't know. All I want is to trap her and get the information I need in order to give them to the one who's looking for her. If she finds out what I am suppossed to do she's gonna run away and my will kill me.
