Euphoria

1. Freedom

"Surprise!" Someone screams in his ear making him scream and sit up quickly.

"Oh my god my heart" he means rubbing his hand over his heart trying to calm himself down. He looks over and sees olive. She's holding a doughnut in her hand. It's chocolate covered with sprinkles.

"Surprise!" She yells again shoving the doughnut in his mouth.

"Olive stop it" he pushes her hand away but takes the pastry anyway.

"Congratulations your finally going to be free Li! Do you know what this means?!" She grabs the front of his shirt shaking him around. She's really happy.

"No I don't and please get off" he removed her hands continuing in eating his doughnut.

"And anyways why are you so happy? Shouldn't I be the one screaming?" He arches a brow at her.

Yes today was his last day here. He had been slowly recovering for a while now and he felt so much better. He wasn't completely ok but he made progress and that's all that mattered. He had been in this special center for almost a year. They helped him get into a regular eating habit and also sent him to therapy. It took a long time. They also helped him with his drug abusers problem. So all in all it took a long time for him to get where he is now.

But along the way he met olive. She was always loud and happy. Which confused him when they first became friends. She didn't tell him for a long time which he was ok with because he didn't tell her anything either. So when she told him that her mom had been sexually abusing her for a long time they cried together. liam was so grateful to have met someone like her.

She's a remarkable young lady liam thinks. She's a beauty as well. Her eyes are a lovely light blue. And she has long black hair, liam loved playing with it. She was a tiny thing but she was tough, even if she still wasn't all the way ok. Liam admired her for her strength, he wishes he was strong like her back then.

"I'm happy because you'll finally be free liam" she smiles widely "you'll be able to go out and face the world and experience great things" she gets a little teary eyed "just don't forget a-about me o-okay" she sniffles.

"I could never" he pulls her into a tight hug feeling tears sting his eyes as well. It's going to be so hard for them. "I could never forget you ever ever your my best friend I love you" he sobs a little.

"Alright alright" she pulls away inhaling deeply and wiping her tears away. Exhaling slowly she relaxes herself and smiles opening her eyes and facing Liam again.

"But we'll see each other after this right?" She whispers "when your out and I'm still here.. You'll come see me until I'm out?" Her voice cracks.

"Of course don't even think differently I'll always be here" he smiles wiping her tears away.

"When do you leave?" She asks clearing her throat.

"Around 1 I think" He looks over at the clock on the wall, 9:23 am. They still have Time to do something.

"Alright get your lazy bum up lets go c'mon" she pulls him up pushing his down the hall towards the restrooms.

"Seriously though don't forget about me and make sure to visit and call and write maybe" Olive hugs liam tight trying to keep her tears at bay.

Liam's sister decided to come pick him up. Apparently they bought him a flat. He was surprised when they told him this. But maybe it would be good for him.

"Yes yes I know I'll call and visit and write and whatever else I promise I won't forget you" he kisses her forehead and wipes her tears once again.

"It'll be ok I promise" he whispers in her ear. He knows she still struggles but he knows she'll be out soon and he'll be waiting.

They pull away and olive is escorted back into the building waving at liam. Sighing deeply he scrubs at his face and get into the car.

"Jessica it's been forever how's it been?" She looks at him for a moment before shrugging and driving off.

Since he's been at the center he's noticed that he's a little more sensitive. He's not a cry baby but some things just get to him more than they used to. Can you blame him? Olive has helped him with coping though. She reassures him that's he's beautiful and smart and funny. It really helps I guess certain things just trigger him. Not badly though, he's learned and he feels better and knows what to do if something happens.

When he was at the center he made sure to tell j and his mom to not tell the boys. He honestly hasn't really thought about them until now. Maybe he should visit them? Yeah, hopefully they won't hate him.

They arrive and soon they're walking inside of the flat. It's so nice and it smells like lemons and he already feels at home. He's a lot more happier these days.

"Oh wow it's so great thank you" he pulls j into a big hug which she clings to. It takes him a while to realize that she crying. He sits down with her on the couch and she pulls away. Eyes red and cheeks wet.

"L-liam I am so so sorry I-I didn't know what would happen and i-" he shushes her, pulling her in for another hug and kissing her cheek.

"It's ok really see I'm fine, right? Nothing was your fault or mums or mine" she sniffs wiping her runny nose "I'm free" he exhales closing his eyes and smiling.

"I'm free"
