The Legacy: A Towns Falling

Time, time and more time

I was dreading the fact of living yesterday. But I need to get over it. I need to focus on the hunt. That's most important.
Get that in your head.

I knew one of the other popular boys at the school wanted to throw a party today. So I just need to make sure mine is better.

Which is why I spent most of yesterday and all of today making sure of that. I printed out flyers and everything, passing them out around school today.
When I left early, I was glad to see that Melissa had already left for work, and most likely was taking double the shifts. So we had plenty of time.

The house looked perfect from what I saw. I had already gotten the beer kegs. A huge punch bowl, that is, already spiked. Chips and little other snacks here and there. I even put away all of the expensive and sentimental values of the house.
I'm proud of myself...

"Wow. Place looks ready to party in." I heard mason say from behind me as he entered the house.

"Yeah. I've been working on it, right after passing out the flyers and practically taping them all over the walls. I just left and decided to work on this." I waved towards the house.

He nodded and seemed impressed. But I knew something else was on his mind. I knew exactly what it was.
"I don't want to talk about it mason. Please."

I tried to walk away into the kitchen, double checking everything was put away but sadly he followed.
"How do you know what I'm going to talk about?" He taunted.

All it took was for me to give him "the look" then he caved in
"Okay okay. I just think you need to talk to Liam about it. It's not what you thought it was. In all honesty."

I get mason trying to defend his best friend. I would do the same if it were stiles towards Lydia.
Oh yes. I've been shipping stydia since the moment they laid eyes on each other.

"Mason. I admire that you want to stand up for him, but please don't. This is his mess. And frankly, I don't want to see him right now. I just need time."
I sighed. That is the one thing I didn't want. I wanted Liam, I needed to be with him. But with everything going crazy and all. I feel like thinking things over isn't the worst kind of idea.

"You want to take a break from Liam?"
I heard a gasp as I turned around and then saw Corey there. How does he just happen to show up at just the right time?

"Your gonna break up with Liam?!" Corey exclaimed.

I wanted to ignore them, knowing that they were being over dramatic.
But then I heard a fourth heartbeat...

"What?..." the rasp in his voice killed me. I turned around in an instant and saw Liam standing in the doorway.

He had flowers in his hand that dropped, bouncing as they hit the wood. His breathing was now erratic. Just as he knew how I felt yesterday. I knew how he felt right now. Physically.
And the feelings he was sharing with me broke my heart.

He didn't say another word as he turned around and started walking out of the house and away from us.
I looked frantically between Corey and mason.

"What the hell was he doing here?!" I shouted, slamming my fist down which made me instantly regret it because I once again, formed a small crater in the floor.

"He wanted to apologize and win you back. So I bought him here because I knew this is where you'd be!" Corey shouted back, but not in any rude way. In more of a scared way. Knowing that he'd made a mistake
"I didn't think you'd breakup with him."

"I wasn't going to break up with him!!" I shout
"God!"

I ran out the door and after Liam, luckily I saw him disappear into the woods before he could leave without a trace. But I'd still find him.

Running after him, and smacking the leaves and branches out of my face, I finally caught up. He knew that I was here, but he didn't turn around.
"Liam stop."

To my surprise, he did.

Yes, I was still pissed off at him and I just wanted a little time to think about it and GET OVER IT! I don't want to break up with him. I know that, for a fact. I've always wanted to be with Liam. He makes me feel things like no one else can. He makes me happy beyond belief. I don't want to leave him, I've never wanted to.

"Then why did they say you were going to breakup with me? Is that what you really want?"

Wow. Thinking out loud again.
I really hoped I said it to him, and didn't refer to him as I was thinking in my head...

"Liam I-... I don't want to break up with you. I never have. Am I pissed off? Yes. Do I have a right to be? Yes. But I couldn't break up with you because no matter what I say. I'd know that I'm still in love with you, and it'd just be a waist of time staying away from you. But yes okay. I'm mad. And I have a right to be. I just wanted a little time."

My eyes were closed but the crinkling and cracking of leaves gave me the hint that Liam was moving closer

"So you were thinking about taking a break? Is that it?"

I tried to intervene
"No liam I-..."

"I get that your mad, and you have that right. But wanting to take a break over something as stupid as this? What the hell Lacey! What are you fucking stupid?!"

My eyes opened and head lifted at the sudden burst in Liams tone. Purely out of shock.

He honestly can't blame me for it. Hayden alone is enough reason. The very fact that he was with her. Making it look like she was the replacement while I was gone. That's more than enough reason. And the fact that he's getting mad over me thinking about everything.

His emotions immediately retreated raising his voice, but his looks said otherwise. His face was stern and hard. Eyes looking as cold as ice, hardly recognizable. And his fists were slightly clinched, but releasing to an open palm.

"See you at the party."
I walked away. He muttered my name and wanted me to stay. But this is what gets me to start wanting a little time. Things like this. Everything has been on such a high rise lately, and everything is going to shit!

All I know, is that tonight. I'm going to get wasted. And yes, being the most powerful creature on earth, I can allow that to happen.
