Falling For Him

20. Did you forgive me?

The very next day I opened my eyes slowly when I felt someone's presence behind me. I noticed I had been shifted to bed by someone because I remember sleeping on the floor. The bed dipped from behind me and someone stroke my hair. I stirred in the bed and shut my eyes tightly. Then the person kissed my forehead and kept on stroking my hair. I opened my eyes, it took some time to adjust my view.

When I looked at the person I was shocked. "Liam?" I nearly yelled in excitement and jumped ontop of him and hugged him tightly. "Hey." He whispered.

"I thought you were coming next week." I said as I pulled back. "When I heard what happened yesterday I came instantly to see you."  He said.

"Oh." I got off him bed and sat down on the bed. I looked around and saw that I wasn't in my bedroom and then yesterdays event came in my mind. I was at Cody's house.

"How did you know I'm here?" I asked him as I got off the bed and collected my jacket. It was already winter and this room was freezing. "I talked to Fred yesterday. I know everything." Then he got off the bed and approached me. "Are you okay?" He kept his hand on my shoulder. "I'm okay but Cody isn't." I said.

He nodded. "Yeah I met him. He's not really okay." I sighed and sat down on the bed. "This all happened because of me. because I ran away alone when he told me not to."

"It's not your fault, Eva. I didn't know you liked him. I only knew you guys hung out. I  never allow you to date because I know I wouldn't be able to control myself if anyone hurt you."

I looked down at my hands, not knowing what to say. "Go wash your face and brush your hair. You look like shit." I rolled my eyes at him. "Thanks for noticing."

After I  was done washing my face and making my self presentable I and Liam headed downstairs and into the kitchen. Drake, Cody and Fred were sitting on the round table and were talking. "Hey." I said as I entered the kitchen.

All the eyes snapped towards me and they replied. "Hey, Eva." Except Cody.

"Here, Have something to eat." Fred pushed the plate full of cookies towards me. I shook my head and thanked him before turning towards Liam. "Can we go home?" I asked him. I noticed how he avoided looking at Cody and even when his eyes accidently landed on him, his jaw clenched. I could see how badly he wanted to yell at Cody for hurting me but he was controlling himself because Cody was already in enough pain.

He looked around the room and then nodded, "I'll meet you guys later." Liam said before we both headed towards his car and drove home.

It was the second week since I fought with Cody and since all that shit happened. Everything was fine except I and Cody. To be honest, I was avoiding him because I felt guilty and hurt. He had a large blue bruise under his right eye because of me and I couldn't do anything. He had little scars and cuts here and there but showed that he was totally okay and wasn't hurt but I knew it hurt him.

I think I overreacted. Cody and I were just friends and I had no right to be mad at him because he kissed someone else. I was jealous that he touched her but still I knew I had no right to be mad. We were just friends. Sure, I liked him but I still didn't know about his feelings for me. He had kissed me but never said anything about liking me so I shouldn't be the one to restrict him.

He had every right to be mad at me. I caused him pain. I overreacted when he was trying to calm me down.

I sighed as I dropped my school bag on the bed and layed down. The day was streesful. I had a ton of homework and I was soo tired.

I changed into comfortable clothes and layed back, trying my best to sleep but I couldn't. There was something on my mind that I couldn't get off.

There was a sudden knock on the bedroom door. I got up and approached the door and opened it. The person standing there left me in total shock. "Sorry?" He handed me the small packet that was in his hand. "I-um." I had no words to say. I took the packed from Cody's hand. It was wrapped in a beautiful gift wrapper.
