Chapter 24

Liam's song on top ⤴️

I walked into Mrs. Lopez's classroom in the hopes that she will grant me the extension for the assignment Liam and I were supposed to finish. 

With everything that happened, I think I needed it. We failed to work together and never ended up presenting.

I found her sitting on her desk, correcting some tests in her empty classroom.

"Hi, Mrs. Lopez," I greeted her with a smile. She lifted her eyes off of her test and looked at me, giving me a slight smile.

"Hi, Storm. What can I do for you?" She asked.

"I was wondering if Liam and I could get an extension on our assignment?" I asked

She let out a breath putting down the pen she was holding. "I'm very disappointed in you, Storm. I had never had to worry about you ever being late on an assignment," she said.

I almost stomped my feet in frustration. She knew Liam, and I didn't get along. Assigning us to do an assignment was never the best choice, but she still chose it.

"I'm sorry. But working with Liam is very difficult,"

"I understand, Storm, but as classmates, you guys needed to work out your differences," she sighed.
"But since you have never asked for an extension, I'm gonna grant you till next Friday to be ready to present,"

I nodded my head, giving her a grateful smile.

"I promise we'll have it done," I said, turning to leave out the door.

-
I woke up this morning with puffy eyes and a red face. Tears were stained on my cheeks, but I forced myself to roll out of bed and made my way to school.

I had to be able to ask her about an extension, but now that she gave us one, I didn't know how I was going to talk to Liam.

I haven't seen Liam around school anywhere, which was a relief. Considering what happened yesterday, I don't think I was capable of facing him today.

I mean, how could I after he had told me he was sorry and said he was in love with me and that Noah knew.

It was all way too confusing for me, and I didn't know how to feel about anything.

I felt so alone, and I knew Liam deserved every bit of what I said to him, and I shouldn't feel guilty, but I did.

All those words I yelled, his tears falling onto his cheeks, I just couldn't stop thinking about it, and I felt miserable.

Liam wasn't the best to me, and he hurt me terribly, but I once wished for him. Despite everything, I did.

Being with him is something that I will never consider, but forgiveness should be a possibility. And no matter what he did, everyone deserves that, even if it is Liam.

But will I be able to forgive him?

All these thoughts ran around my head as I walked the empty school halls, not finding myself able to attend class nor go anywhere else.

I dragged my fingers along the lockers of our school when I suddenly heard music from one of the classrooms nearby.

I lifted my head to see the sign that read the music room. I peeked inside the classroom, curious to know who was playing the guitar.
