The return

21.

" Let's jump in the pool ! " Liam screamed and pulled my hand so I'd go with him,

" Nooo ! " I screamed back , while adjusting my sunglasses , " You know I don't like to swim , I can get the allergy and I simply don't want to drown , "

" Then it's time to learn how to swim , "  Liam tried to force me to go with him .

" Baby no, I'm really not in the mood."

"Come on, " he picked me up and walked to the pool, I started panicking and scratched his back. It wasn't funny to me anymore , water gives me anxiety because I've had some things happen to me while I was younger and I didn't like it . Sitting with my feet in the water, or holding onto something while I'm in, is something else, but throwing me in the pool or pushing me in , no no. I get panic attacks .

" Liam stop ! Right now !"

Thank God he heard me and put me down, " God, okay, don't get bitchy with me."

How dare he say that, I'm so scared of water , why doesn't he understand , I wanted to say something, but decided to be a bigger person and walk away,

" Sonia, stop! Where the fuck are you going ?" He called after me, making everyone around us turn their attention to us .

" Can you fucking stop and talk to me for a fucking second ?" He cussed while following me and I felt my eyes become watery .

" Stop!" He yelled before grabbing my hand and turning me around so I could face him,

" Can you talk to me? Not throw a tantrum in front of everyone ?" He was mad, I could tell

I threw a tantrum ? His words hit me and pain took over my heart, I didn't do anything . Liam grabbed me by my shoulders and I automatically froze,

" You're shaking."

" Really ? " I tried not to yell at him, but tears started to run down my cheeks, " You think I am ? It's not like I told you I don't like water and I'm scared , didn't I tell you that ? Didn't you hear me or what ?"

He wiped my tears away and tried to look into my eyes but couldn't because my sunglasses blocked my eyes . I jumped from his fingers touching my cheek and took a step back,

" I'm sorry,  I didn't know it was this bad. Come let's sit and calm you down, " Liam tried reaching for my hand again .

" Don't touch me, I wanna be alone ." I turned around , and although yes I wanted to be alone, there was little hope in me, hoping he'd apologise , hug me , comfort me, but he let me go.

" Sonia." He called me, making me look at him

" Give me the room key , so I can get in later."

Of course .

I sat down and did my make up for dinner, my eyes were puffy from crying , face was swollen and red, so I had to put on foundation which was unusual for me because I didn't wear makeup.
Liam got out of the shower . We haven't spoken all day, I don't like the silence, but I don't really know what more can I say to him .

Liam took his clothes out of the suitcase and looked at me, " Are you okay ?" he asked me quietly

" Yeah." I whispered back, I looked down at my wrists and they were bruised, I got up and took off my clothes, Liam was looking at me confused,

I chose a dress with longer sleeves so it would cover my wrists , and sat back down on the chair, and started to cover my bruised hands.

" Is it that bad ? "

My head shot up and I noticed Liam standing right behind me, he was about to touch me when I pulled away ,

" Please don't , please ."

" Sonia, tell me what to do, I feel so bad, I'm sorry, forgive me please. Tell me what you want." He begged

" I just want to go home."

After 1 week holiday with Liam and family I felt drained, and that was only Liam's fault, my family did nothing wrong, it was him who kept me upset and distanced . But after everything , I still forgave him and we moved on from what happened there and we never talked about it ever again .

Another long day at school, I couldn't wait to be home and get some rest, I unlocked the door and the strong smell of flowers took me over, what was that.

I slowly but curiously walked to the kitchen and noticed red beautiful roses in vases, all over the kitchen. That's where the smell came from I thought . I went to the flowers, smelling each vase full with roses , trying to find a note.

Did Liam really just surprise me with roses ? Maybe that was his apology for what happened, and how he's been acting lately . Either way, that was very sweet of him , I smiled to myself and put my handbag on the countertop , I touched couple roses and felt how soft they were .

" Do you like them ?" Liam's voice scared me.

" Oh my God, you scared me." I nervously laughed and saw him standing shirtless on top of the stairs.

" Sorry, didn't mean to." He apologised and came down, " So do you like them ?"

"Yes, very much." I admitted.

" You favourite colour too." He said and stepped closer to me, standing right in front of me,

"Mhmh, it is, " I touched the roses again, admiring how beautiful they were,

" They're not from me." Liam's voice sounded deep and I could tell he was pissed off. My stomach dropped and I felt sick, from who then ? Was it from Trey ? Is Trey back and that's why Liam seems pissed off ? Did Trey sent me those flowers ?

" They're from Christopher ." he gave me an answer, like he knew I was thinking about who could that be.

" Christopher sent you the roses."
