Hiding Behind The Mask

22. It's all right

Laila

Liam left suddenly and he hasn't called me or anything.

Why won't he let me in? I'm sick and tired of the games, I just want something genuine and real. A million things are going through my mind and then suddenly there's this sound outside my window. I take a Look outside and there he was in that dark hoodie of his throwing rocks at my window. "What are you doing here?" I ask hime confused yet a bit happy he was here with me.

"Let me in kitten, we need to talk." I moved out of the way so he could climb in and saw his hands were bruised. I grabbed it and pulled hime to my bed, "sit here i'm going to get the first aid kit." He nodded and response and I came back to clean his hand.

"How did this happen?"

"I punched a wall." he replied to me with tired eyes looking into mine. I shook my head "Idiot."

"I made a mistake." I drew my brows in confusion, a mistake? "what do you mean?" I ask and he pulls me closer to him. " I shouldn't have kept pushing you away." I nodded letting him finish talking. " I should've spent more time with you and gotten to become even closer with you instead of trying to run away." I wrapped my arms around him and he returned it.

"Can you tell me why you did what you did?" I asked curious to know more about him. He breathed in a deep breath as he was preparing. " Alright so I live with a man named Johnson and he isn't a   blood relative of any sort but he is my foster dad. I don't have a normal job but instead i'm a part of his gang." I gasp as he tells me more. "I'm in it not because I particularly want to but I need the money. I know I could get a normal job but, the money isn't enough. My Parents are dead and my little sister is in coma. I need money to pay for her hospital bills, she's been asleep for two years now. I don't do anything like murder in the gang but I do have to deal the drugs." He says to me. I can't believe this, how did he get into such a horrible situation.

" I wanted to be with you but I was scared you would get hurt with all of the gangs enemies. If they knew i cared for you I could risk your life and I didn't want that. I never even wanted to tell you any of this nor get close to you. You are just so goddamn addicting and I can't stay the hell away."

"I'm sorry kitten but, I love you." I smile and kiss him like it was the last time I was going to see him. I lean onto him and whisper those three words I swore I would never say to anyone especially not him.

"I love you." Liam lit up instantly and kissed me again. "I like the sound of that kitten you sound sexy." I blushed and said it again  "I love you Liam Crawford."

"And I love you Laila Rivers."

I suddenly though about something. The bet! Haha it doesn't really matter now at all but i'm pretty sure I just won. "Hey Liam guess what?" He looked at me "What?" I smirked mischievously and put my lips to his ear.

" I won the bet!" The kissed him on those lips that I can't get enough of. Suddenly the phone rang breaking us apart. It was Liam's so he answered with a permanent smile. "Yeah thanks man,  no yeah I did it." Then hung up on whoever it was. "Who was that?" I asked

"Oh yeah that was Caleb, also I'm really sorry but I have to go I love you, see you soon." He said to me then gave me a final kiss. We still had a lot to go through but right now things were good. Things were perfect and I couldn't ask for more.
