Chapter- 11

New Beginning

Angelina

"We need to move out Liam, we really do. We can't take his money and help." I sit before him while he put his face on his hands sitting on a couch.

"We shouldn't. We grew up here. It's our home. It's where we shared last days with mom and dad." He sobs.

"How could you sell this to him? How can you do this to me?"He stands up and walks away from me towards the large portrait of mom and dad.

" Liam, we don't want to be under his debt. " I hold his shoulder and lean upon him. He goes rigid.

" It's Alright. You name him around our house but we can live here on rent. He won't shift here or anything. You can pay for him. Ask him at least that for me Angie." He says calmly now. I understand his emotions about it all. Even when I am angry with my parents it's killing me to leave this house, Liam must be crushing inside.

" You want me to face him after all the humiliation and manipulation by him? You think he would want money from me but no, what he wants I cannot give him." I hug him for warmth remembering how I put myself into his arms. I had always known Ethan could manipulate into thinking something that he wants from others. It's like he is capable put a seed into a full-grown tree and water it till it gives him the fruit. I had been a victim.

" You have always been so selfish, Angie. You left me on my own after mom's dad as if only you lost them. Or like I didn't exist. Whenever I felt lonely I talked to the walls here. Reminisced the old memories in every corner of our home. And now you selfishly want me to move out with you. I won't have anything left when you show me your back, Angie. "

This shakes me from top to toe. I thought what I listened to in the morning was worst but no, it wasn't. Liam is right but I have changed and I care for him now. That's why I want us to move out.

" Liam, I love you. I love you more than anything. I will never leave you." I stand before him only to find his havoc state. This breaks me some more. His red and tearful eyes tell me stories. After our parent he wanted me to be his angel but I pushed him away.

" Why did you go to him then? Why were you working with him on the project at all? You were easy on that but you can't ask for renting us this house. You will still have pride. Also if he has given us this house on papers then it's ours. He is the devil he must have made many life's hell so it doesn't matter. We get our home, our life. " He slowly says to me holding my hands hopefully.

I shake my head and kill me. A tear fall from his eyes snd he looks away.
I throw myself into him and cry.

" Trust me, Liam, trust me. I am doing this for us. It's right. He humiliates me in ways I cannot tell you. He manipulates me. I cannot stand before him for favors. "

He remains silent but hugs me tight too.

" Angie. I.. I have been a bad brother too for these years I know. I don't listen to you and disrespect you. You have been trying hard to pay for my school and expenses. After you got back to me you have worked for me. I see that. I love you for that." He says and all the worries rush away from me like sand would flow through hands.

" Oh, Liam!" I look him straight in his eyes.

" I thought I got you but you are doing this. All right if can't face him, we will move out but I won't with you."

" Liam. What do you mean?"

"You understood me, Angie. Also, I should learn to take care of myself. I will find my way. You don't have to worry about me now. " He shrugs and retreats from me.
