The Secret Behind the Scars

Part 12

Day 25

I can feel it. I know I only have a few hours left and I need to get Liam out of here before it all happens. I don’t really want him to go, but I also don’t want him to be around when it actually happens. So yeah, I got to send him away and I better do it now or I won’t have the will or the strength to do it later.

I rolled over slowly until I was on top of him and pecked his lips. “Hey Li, when was the last time you have been home and seen your family?” I actually know how long, he hasn’t left my side since he told me his tragic story, this is just the build up to my excuse for him to leave.

He scrunched up his eyebrows in thought. “Let’s see, I’ve been here since I told you the story of my other soul mate, so maybe six or seven days ago. Why do you ask?”

I scoffed at him and hit his bare chest lightly. “Liam! You need to go home right now and see your family. They must be worried sick about you!”

He pouted at me and wrapped his arms tighter around my waist. “I don’t want to leave you here while you’re not feeling well. No one is here for you and besides, I want to be here because I love you. My family can wait because you are way more important right now.” He finished off his mini speech with a peck to my cheek.

He’s making this so hard right now. I swear my heart just picked up speed and it felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to send him away now, but I have too. “Aww, that’s so sweet baby and I love you too. But, you really should go see your family. They must be missing you like crazy, especially your mother. Besides, if I was feeling ok enough for sex, I will be ok by myself for the night.”

He bit his lip and thought about it for a few moments. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to be here all by yourself all night and get lonely.”

I smiled and shook my head. “Trust me, I’ll be fine. It’s just for one night and all I plan on doing is lay here and watch some TV. Plus, you can come back first thing in the morning.”

He sighed. “Ok, I’ll go see my mom. But, I’m going to miss you so much and you better call me tonight before you go to bed.”

I giggled and pecked his cheek, then rolled over so he could get up. “Ok babe, I will make sure to do it.”

He sighed and began getting dressed and I walked him to my front door. We may have stopped there for one last make out session before he went. Too bad he doesn’t realize that this will literally be our last ever make out session.

As soon as the door closed my smile dropped. I leaned against the door for a few minutes, trying to keep from bursting into tears. I didn’t really think saying goodbye to Liam would be this hard because, even though he is my soul mate, I never thought I would fall in love with him due to how he treated me at first. Saying goodbye to him is the hardest thing I ever done and I love him so much that it almost makes me want to fight this again.
