"Do you really mean it?" I asked hopefully. "Of course I mean it, Tessa Bell. I love you more than anything. I've been meaning to tell you that for a long time." he said. "You're my best friend, Li. I can't believe you have to go." I looked down at my hands. "Hey, I'll be back soon. Don't worry, love. And when I come back, we can be together." he smiled at me. "I love you Liam." "I love you too, Tessa." Liar. Cheater. Scumbag. Jerk. Douchebag. That's all she has to say about him. He got another girlfriend. He lied to her. Who ever said that Liam was the honest one?
