"Leah" My mom begins to get blurry.
My eyes pop open and I see Liam looking over me. His hands rest on my shoulders and My sweat running down my forehead. I look at his worried face, I hug him tight. I close my eyes tightly, I hated those dreams.
I pull away, "I'm sorry." I say quietly.
He frowns, "No, I just heard you scream and I got worried." He says.
I didn't know what to think, I didn't want him knowing about this. I was supposed to get old enough and move out. I would break up with Noah and head to a different state. Liam is making it all go wrong.
"What... what are they about?" He asks.
"I... my dad dying." I don't waist time. There's no point stalling.
"Oh." He sighs, "How much do you have them?"
"Every now and then." I say, "Can I have some water?"
He rushes out the room and comes back with a glass of water. I drink it down quickly and set it on the night stand.
"If you want I can give you your room back." I say.
"No," He says, "Just relax."
I steady myself on my hands and stare at him, "Thank you." I say.
"For what?" He smiles.
"I can't stay with my mom." I say frowning.
"I get it." He says.
I can't believe I'm really saying this, "No... my mom kicked me out." I say avoiding eye contact.
"What?" He asks. I place my head in my hands.
"Stay here." He says, "You only have a year until you're eighteen."
"I couldn't do that to you." I say examining his nice hair.
He sighs, "My mom, she likes you." He says.
I smile at his words, "They wouldn't mind." He says, "I sure wouldn't either."
I giggle and hug him tight, "Okay, only for now." I say.
He nods and wraps his arms around my back. My stomach begins to hurt and I pull away from him quickly. I stand and rush to his bathroom releasing my stomach into the toilet. He stands behind me and holds my hair back. A few minutes go by of the repeated action.
"I think I'm good." I say, voice gone.
He stands and I follow slowly. I splash cold water on my face and then dry it.
"I'm so sorry." I say. I feel guilty taking his room. Not to mention puking in his bathroom.
"Just go get in bed." He says, "Stop saying sorry."
I climb in and turn off the lamp, he walks around the bed and gets in next to me. I close my eyes and lay my head on his chest while wrapping my arms around his torso. He smells good, I know I don't. I giggle at the thought and he looks at me.
"Something funny?" He asks.
"No." I lie smiling.
Eventually we both fall asleep in the dark.
I wake up in pitch black, I sit up and slowly move from Liam. When I sit against the head board Liam moves around groaning.
"What're you doing?" He asks quietly.
"Nothing, just woke up." I say equally as quiet.
"Oh, why do you like to sleep in the dark?" He asks me.
I wait a minute in silence before speaking, "It's peaceful." I whisper.
He pulls my legs down making me lay next to him. I giggle and wrap my arms around his torso and my legs over his.
"This is nice." He says.
I lean into his face and kiss him softly before placing my head on his chest.
"It could be nicer." I say.
He take his head off mine, "what?"
I smile when he does so, "We could have some snacks and be watching Netflix." I say giggling.
"Okay." He rolls and turns on the TV.
I pinch the bridge of my nose, "You didn't-"
"I'll get the snacks!" He hops up and crawls over me.
A few minutes later he comes back with a bull of popcorn and two candy bars. I laugh when trips over his foot but saves the popcorn. I get on the ground and take the popcorn.
"I see how it is!" He teases.
I watch as he gets up and crawls back onto the bed.
"Did you already clean up?" I ask.
"Yeah." He says taking some popcorn.
He clicks through the shows and movies until stopping on 'up.' Half way through he falls asleep and I turn off the TV. When I stand I carefully take the popcorn and walk downstairs to the kitchen. I put the popcorn in a bag I hear the front door open, I look out and it's his Mom. She looks at me and puts her hand on her hip.
"Hi." I say innocently.
"Hi Leah." She says putting her key on the nightstand.
I wait for her to yell or something but she stays calm. "What're you doing here?" She asks.
I'm certainly not going to tell her I was too drunk to go home. "I... we had a sleep over."
What am I? five? She stares at me with a smile, "Be safe." She says and walks into her room.
I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. I walk up stairs and into his room, he sits up while I close the door.
"What's up?" He asks.
"Nothing, just your mom?" I say.
"Yeah, is that a question?" He asks.
"Well I wasn't sure if-"
"She is." He says.
I sit next to him and cover up.
"what were you doing anyway?" He asks.
"Just putting the popcorn away." I say.
He nods and slides down, and I follow. I roll to face away from him and close my eyes.
I wake up to the sun shining in my face and Liam slamming drawers around. I sit up and watch him take his shirt off and slide one back over his head.
"Oh, hey." He says turning around.
"Hi." I say feeling embarrassed.
"I'm getting dressed." He says.
"Oh, okay." I say.
I get up and slip my shoes on, "Could you drop me off at my house?" I ask.
"Yeah, right now?" He asks.
"If that's okay." I say.
He nods and opens the door, I walk out and he follows. I wait by the car door.
"Okay." He says sighing.
When we pull up to my drive way I see my mom's car. My head begins to hurt, what's she going to say? I unbuckle and walk up to the door.
"Hey, do you want me to come in?" He asks.
He knows my mom is here. I smile and open the door, "Come on!" I tease.
He runs after me before I stop and stare at my mother. She stares with her eye wide on me and my outfit. Eventually they travel over to Liam who is standing behind me. I take his hand and pull him up the stairs into my room.
