Chapter 23

I was frozen. I couldn't move as I continue to stare at Liam. His deep orbs kept staring back at me, and I kept wondering whether he had heard the conversation between Tyler and me?

I prayed he hadn't. He hated me enough, and him finding out that I ever liked him will only make this whole situation complicated, and I wanted nothing to do with it.

He will ruin me entirely if he ever did find out.

"Why are you here, Liam?" Tyler asked, making Liam break his eye contact with me. He looked at his brother for a couple of seconds before saying: "Mom wanted me to get you, cuz Jack wants to talk to you," he said.

"Shit," he cursed, biting his lips. "I'll see you later, Storm. I've got to go talk to him," he said before rushing out of my room.

I expected Liam to follow behind him, but he didn't. He instead closed the door behind him and walked into my room, coming to stand in front of me.

I hid the paper behind my back, staring down.

We stood there, both of us, not saying anything for a while before he lifted my chin with his fingers.

I began shaking as his hands made their way down to my waist, pulling me closer against him. His eyes were glued on to me, and suddenly, he kissed my cheeks, causing me to drop the paper behind me, but instead of it hitting the floor, it landed on Liam's arms.

He took his hands off my waist and began reading the diary entry I had hoped he would never find out about.

"You actually liked me?" He questioned with a stunning look after finishing reading the whole thing. "No matter what I did to you. You like me," he said.

I hung my head downward, dying of embarrassment and shame as he kept reading all my forbidden feelings.

I ripped the paper out of his hand and said: "it was a long time ago,"

He hadn't heard anything back then. He didn't listen to the conversation between Tyler and me, but even if he hadn't heard it, he found out. He knew about what I never wanted him to find out.

This couldn't be happening.

"I must have been delusional then. I can't ever believe I liked you," I spat. His face grew angrier. "Ya, that's why you chose Noah!" He yelled.

I was surprised at what he was saying. He spoke as if I ever had to make a decision.

"I never chose Noah. I didn't have to choose him over anybody. He was the one for me from the beginning," I said.

"Then why did you like me?"

"It was a long time ago, like I said. I hate you now. I could never be with you. I don't even understand what you're problem is, to be honest!" I sobbed.

"You wanna know what my problem is?" He screamed, grabbing onto my shoulder.

"Yes, Liam! That's what I always wanted to know because I never did anything to you, and you hate me!"

"My problem is your whole existence, how I can't stand being near you because you drive me crazy. My problem is that I don't even know who I am when I am with you. When I read your diary, and you described how much you loved Noah killed me entirely and how much the whole time I wished you wrote all those things about me is my problem, and I heard you say that you will never do that to Noah, but no matter how much Noah and I were best friends, brother even I knew. Heck, he even knew I fucking loved you first, but you chose him, and that's my fucking problem with you," he finished, tears running down his eyes as his hands cupped my cheeks.
