"Please open the door" begs Liam banging on the. "Come on you can't hide in there forever you have to come out and eat sometime"
I lay curled in a ball on my bed tears streaming down my face.
"Leave me alone!" I yell my voice shaking.
"Alex, Alexandra open the door, come on. I am not leaving until I know your ok. So just let me in and we can talk"
"There is nothing to talk about. My father is Rick Clare. I am the daughter of the man that tortured and almost killed you." I scream my throat burning.
"So What If your father is Rick Clare that doesn't mean that you are anything like him!"
"GO AWAY!" my voice tears from the throat.
"NO" he yells back. "I refuse to let you deal with this one your own. Now open this door or I will find a way to break it down."
Reluctantly I get up, pad over to the door and pull it open to reveal my crazy boyfriend. His brown hair is messed up and his eyes are mischievous. I have always loved his eyes, they are brown near the pupil then they turn green near the middle and near the edge they are blue. He carries to mugs coffee in his hands.
He follows me back to my bed and sits down next to me. I take one of the mugs from him and take a sip,
"Mmmmm you finally got it right" I say, a smile forming on my lips despite my tears seconds ago.
"Hey it is not my fault that you are complicated and have a super specific way that you like your coffee." He teases.
" it is not that complicated!" I protest setting down my mug.
He sets down his too before gently pulling me into a hug and kissing my forehead, "I know sweetheart" he lets go of me and I turn to grab my coffee and my book only to find my book is missing.
"Hey you took my book!" I accuse Liam.
"I did not!" Comes the reply from a certain brown haired boy that is faking being offended. "You probably just lost it Alex"
"Liar!" I say before tackling him.
" alright alright" he relents, "I took the book. But too be fair I have my reasons."
"Give it back!"
"Make me" he laughs
"Ok I will" I grab a pillow and hit him with it.
"Pillow fight!!!!!!!" He yells grabbing another and hitting me back. We keep hitting each other until we both are laughing so hard we collapse. We end up just laying together enjoying each other's company. Somehow, Liam never fails to make me laugh. At some point I must fall asleep because I wake up to my Alarm going off.
Liam is still beside me sound asleep. I turn off the alarm and curl up next to him and fall back asleep. With Liam with me I don't know how but I completely forget about my father, the war, and everything else going on in my life. I am happy, at least for now I am.
