Underwater Silence (Liam Dunbar Fanfic)

EPISODE 4 - Broken

"where do you think they took him?" Mia asked as she followed me down the almost empty halls.

I shrugged, "probably the nurse?" I more asked than said.

I know I wasn't Liam's girlfriend or anything, and on my way to where he was, for so many times I thought maybe I should do a U turn and go back and just text him to see if he was okay. Am I taking it too fast? Too far? Maybe I should unleash a little bit and let him breath? Maybe it will scare him to be so clingy after a first date, I mean… was I clingy?

That's when I stopped, my legs didn’t seem to move an inch farther, Mia hitting my back coming to a stop as well.

"is something wrong?" Mia asked worriedly.

I just shook my head, "am I doing it wrong?" I turned to look at her and it seemed she realized what I was talking about, "am I being too girlfriend-like without being an actual girlfriend?" I tried to ask in a way it won't sound pathetic, but to be honest? Right now, anything I will say about my actions will sound and be pretty pathetic.

Mia smiled softly at me, "I can't tell you rather you're doing something wrong, or maybe he wants you to do exactly what you're doing right now, it's the first time I see you like that because of a guy and it's actually pretty new to me" she admitted with the same expression on her face, her hand is now on my shoulder and she looked into my eyes, "because we're so different, I think you need to relax, take a deep breath and decide rather you're pushing too hard or rather it's okay to feel like this, after all, you were the one on your date last night, not me, you told me what happened but I wasn't there to see everything and watching all the details – long story short, do what feels right, but to do that you will have to take a deep breath and let your mind be clear" she advised.

Caring about someone like that scared me. Caring about some I have just met like that, scared me to death.

I decided, I took out my phone and texted, my heart hammering against my chest as I delete the message and dialled his number, slowly taking my time to relax, as I hit the call button, I lifted the phone to my ear, compromising to the middle, not standing by his side, but not completely being distanced.

"hello?" his voice snapped me out of my thoughts, "Chloe?" the pain in his voice broke my heart.

"yes, Liam, I saw what happened on the field-" obviously "-how are you? Are you okay?" I asked in concern, my voice is soft.

He sighed, "Scott and Stiles are driving me to the hospital, it might be a spin or something worse" his shaky breath confirming his fear and sadness and all I wanted to do was just hug him.

I nodded, realizing he couldn't see me, "do you want me to come to the hospital, or that you're fine?" I asked hesitantly, praying in my mind he will want me by his side, just so I won't feel rejected and lost, especially not after last night and this morning.

"umm, if you want, I mean uhh-" he started stuttering awkwardly and I could almost picture him scratching the back of his neck.

I smiled to myself, flattered that he wanted me by his side when it hurts the most, but was too nervous to ask, "I'll be there in a few" I confirmed.

I could hear him sigh in relief, "I'll be waiting for you, so don't bail on me" he mumbled warningly and smiling.

I simply smirked, "bye Liam" I teased hanging up the phone.

I turned back to Mia, who already had her car keys twirling around her finger, "let's go" she simply said as she turned towards the parking lot, with me hot on her heels.
