Who Are You?

Chapter 15

Liam's POV

I take the long road back to my home, as I think about that beautiful angel I was with only moments ago.

I honestly don't know what's come over me the past few days, but I like it. I always knew Maddie existed, I just didn't know she cared about me. I've had a secret crush on her since the fifth grade, I could just never work up the courage to tell her.

Then high school came along and football somehow became the only thing I cared about, even though I didn't really care about it.

The funny part is, when I finally did work up the courage to ask Maddie to that pizza parlor, I promised myself to keep up my appearance, because she likes the jock, not me.

But now, she knows who I really am. She's the only one who knows who I really am.

When I'm around Maddie, I just feel so happy and accepted. Like she really cares about the person I want to be, and she really wants to help me become that person.

I suddenly feel the need to help her become the person she wants to be.

This leads me to realize that I know nothing about her. I've kissed her twice and I don't even know a single thing about her.

Did we rush things?

Are we even a thing?

I'm becoming a jock, my worst fear is happening. I'm slowly being poured into the stereotypical mold of the quarterback, and I will do anything to stop the materialization of this molding.

I pull out my phone and begin to text Maddie.

"Meet me at my house at 11AM tomorrow, I wanna get to know more about you xx Liam" I type quickly.

I need to learn more about her before we become an official thing.

The funny part is, I already have more feelings for her than I've ever had for anyone that I know ten times as well.

She's a complete stranger, but I feel like I know her better than anyone else.
