Easy Life And The Hard Life

Chapter 21 Chris pov

I woke up to a light shake on my shoulder and I jumped thinking it was Liam . But when I opened my eyes is was the older lady . Mrs. Doe .

" Hello chris ." She said  I strecteched and said hello . " Has he woken up ?"

" No .. and today is the 24th .. I need him to wake up .." I said . Mrs. Doe was now  big part ofmy life . Liam was always talking highly of  her ad I can see why he loves her like family so much .

" Ya know that boy has worked so hard in life . adn he shouldnt be in here .. trapped like an animal."

" But he woud have gotten sicker and he wouldnt be able to come to my games or he wouldnt even be living ."

" Yes I know.. It just saddens me to see him here lifless ." I agreed in silence .

after a few minutes I looked at Mrs. Doe .

" Im sorry ." I siad .  was sorry for being a rude prick toher and to liam ... Mostly lIam and I was sorry for ever .. making troubel .. for having liam all these panic atacks and sorry that he was here . that he ended up here . sorry that i did  not let him sleep over sorry that i had called him a nothign to my mother ... I was sorry .. boy was I sorry .

" Chris , you dont have to be sorry for Liams stubborness ."  I chuckeld.

" But you dont gt it .. I have always been so rude to him . and now its christmas and I cant get him his gift . his eyes wouldn be open to see them .."

" thats so kind of you . I remember just the other night .. Not as cold but chilly he was fussing over what to get you ." She smiled . " I had asked him what ou like andhe told me a whole list of things  you like but couldnt pin point ." I nodded .

" Theres a lot of things that  i like .." I said .

" And Liam is one of them I hope ." I was quiet . was I really going to admit these types of feeling to and older woman who I know knows liam like te back of her hand ? was I really ready to admit these feelings to my self ?

" I am confused . I dont know what to feel . I dont want to jump to conclusions and be that dick in every story that breaks the heart and carries on with life . Becuase i very well cant carry on after getting to know Liam " She was quiet and nodded she had set a small gift on Liams side table and a small vase of flowers .they were a soft violet and soft red roses . I nodded and took note of that .

" these are his favorite ." she said with a small smile and walked up to liam and kissed his cheek . I wnted to shake liam to wake up and have amerry christmas . I wanted him to be awake . But he wasnt . and its slowly killing me .

" I hope my boy wakes up soon ." I nodded and stood to give mrs .Doe a hug .Knowing that we both needed it . She looked at me with warm loving brown eyes . and hugged me back . I felt like she has been part of my family for years . But i know that she hasnt but I liked Mrs.Doe m and I could deffitnally use her n my life for future advice .

 "Bye Chris ... Merry Christmas ... stop by some time for hot coaco."  I nodded adn smiled .

" Merry Christmas ." I sat down again watching Liam hoping and praying he would wake up .  But sadly he didnt . I wondered to myself how long I would be able to hold my self together ... how ong it will be before I could actually have enough of this ..

" Chris ?" I heard my mother say . I didnt turn around I could miss him wake up ." Its time to go home , please we miss you at home ."

" Mom , he hasnt woken up yet .. why wont he wake up tomarrow christmas... " I said I asked my my mother hoping she knew something becuase they say mom knows best .
