I want you to be happy ,but I want you to be happy with me

♡♡♡

"No no " I heard someone say but I ignored "no no ,please mom no" then I opened my eyes and turned to liam

"Liam" But he didn't wake up and he was still saying things in his dream

Why does he always has nightmares

"Liam" I shook him and he opened his eyes and looked at me Then draw me closer to him

So his head was now on my chest and I started hearing sniffing

Wait!is he crying

Then I felt something liquid drop on my chest...."promise me Elizabeth that you will always be here for me and never leave me"

"I promise baby ,I promise " and he started crying again...he is so vulnerable right now

"When I was a child,I was living with my parents but not happily...my dad always goes to work and leaves me with my mum at home

My mum always mistreat  me , sometimes even starve me when my dad was not around ,I always wear raggered clothes and I do all the house chores at home even though we had maids ,my mum sends them on errand and let me do all the work

But who am I to say anything ,I was just a little child obeying  my mother

Sometimes I even wonder if she's my mother ,she scolds me ,beat me and she was abusive but i beared it all because she was my mother

But one time, she sent me in the kitchen to do the dishes and I obeyed

While I was doing the dishes,I heard commotion outside so I went there only to see my dad lying there lifeless "

And he stopped and cried bitterly "he was laying there lifeless Elizabeth " he said in between the tears

"He was always there for me,we did so many things together and he made so many promises to me but somebody took that away"

"He was laying there lifeless and what should a 4 years old child do

Then I mother came downstairs and saw my father laying down lifeless

She accused to of killing my father and sent me out under a heavy rain fall

Not even with food and from that time I have never laid my eyes on her " and he cried again bitterly

I don't like seeing him this way, it breaks my heart

"Shh baby, it's ok ,you didn't kill your father and your innocent " "please babygirl promise me thst you will never ever leave me "

"I won't I promise " "I love you " "I love you too liam " and we hugged each other

"Look at me " I said but he didn't "Liam look at me" and he slowly looked at me with his blue eyes

His eyes were red and puffy "you are the man you are today because  of everything you went through , you were just four years when she sent you out but you survived the storm

Even though I was not there ,I am not able to feel the pain you're feeling but just know you made it through

Your 25 now , just imagine from four years you were sent out but you worked hard ,you laboured hard and look at you now

A 25 years old billionare, you made it through babe, just know I will always love you and always be here for you babe, I will always be here for you "

And he smiled "Thank you babe,you're the best thing that has ever happened to me ,I love you too"
