Aileen is that perfect little rich girl. That's at least what everyone thinks. She started in Seattle, then Toronto, then back in Seattle again. Nothing has changed, right? That's what she thought but oh how she was wrong. By meeting o...
Almost an hour has passed, and Liam still hasn't woken up yet. I have to be strong. For Emily. For him. The doctor is coming. Please God, please let him be fine.
"Ms. Wesley, Ms. Smith"
"Any news, doctor?" I say. I have to be the one talking now. Emily is still crying over what happened.
"Liam just woke up; you can see him now"
Oh, thank God. Without hesitation, me and Em runs in to Liam's room. Emily runs over to Liam and hugs him like a psychopath.
"I'm sorry but... w-who are you?" Liam says. Oh no.. he doesn't remember us... I can see on Emily's look that she is about to cry again. My eyes are also tearing up. I can't believe that he has memory loss... and it's my fault. I'll never be able to live with that!
"Bahahaha! You should have seen your faces. PRICELSS!" Liam says.
"SERIOUSLY LIAM? I-I thought that I've lost you... please don't ever do that again!" Em says while she is removing her tears from her cheeks. Within a second she run over and starts to hug him again. I'm so happy that he doesn't have amnesia.
"What, no hug from you?" Liam says sassy and looks at me.
"Oh, believe me, I won't hesitate!" I say and run over to hug him. Not too hard. But definitely not too soft. I've missed that dork, even though what he did.
"Hey Em? Can you give me 5 minutes alone with Aileen?" Liam says. Hmm... Wonder what he wants. Alone.
"Yeah sure. I'm actually going to head home now that I know that you're okay"
"Thanks for coming Em. Now go and get some sleep. It's pretty late"
"Of course. See you guys tomorrow"
"Bye Em" I say.
Emily just left. We're alone now.
"I have to talk to you Aileen. I-I'm sorry... I know that you're mad at me for what I did the other day when Damon was there, and I'm sorry. It wasn't cool. I don't know why I did it... I guess I just panicked..." Liam says.
"Panicked? Over what?"
"I... uhm.. Jake and James think that you like me... and I'm just not the right guy for you Ails. I saw it as an opportunity to save you. I thought that if you got hurt by me then the feelings, if they're there, would disappear.. I know that it sounds stupid. But I did it for you..."
It might sound crazy. But I think that it's cute. He didn't want me to get hurt.
"Liam I..."
I can't believe that I'm about to do this but...
"Liam they were right... I kinda was starting to get small feelings for you. I tried to back off. I don't want to be hurt again, and when you acted like you didn't know me, I got a little hurt. Now that I know the real reason why you did what you did, I get it. And I'm not mad. I like you Liam, even though you don't have the same feelings for me"
"Wow Aileen, that's a lot. I- I like you too. I think. But I'm not that kind of guy. I don't date... I'm not ready to settle down yet"
"Liam it's fine. I get that. It's more than enough just to be friends"
"I'm glad that you understand Ails. Oh, and uhm... do you want to stay with me over the night? There is a lot of space on this hospital bed"
"I was not going to leave Liam. Not even if you begged. It's my fault you're here after all..."
"Aileen! It's not. You couldn't have known that a car was coming. You were hurt. And all I wanted to do was to protect you. I would take a bullet for you Ails!"
"Same with you Liam. Thanks! Now let's get some sleep. It's almost 1am."
"Yeah. Come here" he says and moves a little so that there is space for me. I crawl up in the bed next to him and put my head on his chest, trying not to hurt him. He looks at me and smile. I can't help it but smile too. He kisses my head and says:
"Goodnight Aileen"
"Goodnight Liam"
