Feeling Guilty
Language warning I guess. But that's Sully.

It soon came time for me to report to the hospital regarding Liu's recent behavior. If I told them about what happened at the store, they would surely come to get him. The last thing he needed was to be brought back.

I typed an email to my boss, saying that Liu was slowly getting better. I sent the email and sighed. How was I going to deal with Liu?

Speaking of Liu, he was already in bed; but he wasn't sleeping. He was just laying there wide awake, obviously in thought. I shut down my computer and got in bed.

"Liu, you don't need to worry about what happened today. It wasn't your fault."

He just nodded and turned to his side so he couldn't face me. I shook my head and fell asleep, resisting the temptation of comforting the boy beside me who was trying to muffle his quiet sobs.

The next morning, Liu was up before I was. I woke up to the coldness of and empty bed; though it was familiar, I felt a pit in my stomach.

"Liu, I sent an email to the hospital about your behavior."

A look of fear flashed across his face, before it was replaced by anger.
"I'm going back, aren't I?"
"You can't get rid of me that easily, bitch."
Liu was quick to cover his mouth due to Sully's words. I placed my hand on his shoulder in comfort.
"No, you'll be staying for a while. I may have 'forgotten' to write about the mall incident."
"Really?" Liu said.
"See? Bitches love me too much to get rid of me."
"Sully!" I chastised.
He just rolled his eyes.
"And yes, Liu, you'll be staying with me for a little while longer."
He wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly.
"Thank you, no one's ever given me a chance! I'll try my best to keep Sully at bay." Liu said enthusiastically, which was kind of uncharacteristic.
"Settle down, Liu. The hospital workers will still have to check in every once in a while to make sure I'm taking care of you."

"You've done well so far, so that shouldn't be a problem."

I smiled. If Liu could keep Sully under control, the hospital staff visits wouldn't be a problem; and Liu would be able to get better in less time. But is that too much to expect from Liu? Sully is a part of him. Whether he likes it or not.

Okay, so you probably know this since it takes ten years to update these; but I'm at a total loss for ideas. If you have any interest in leaving any ideas for any of my books, don't be afraid to comment or directly message me! Adios~
