"What happened to you?" I ask Beth when she sat down at our table in the cafeteria. I noticed that she looks grumpy and has a pissed off expression on her face.She sighs heavily, "I almost got a detention in my science class this morning." "What happened?" I ask surprised."This girl was pissing me off and we started a heated argument in class." She takes up a fry and put it in her mouth and then looks at me. "Can you believe she had the nerve to talk about Brian's mother?" She stated irritated."Who is that? Do I know her?" I ask."You've probably seen her around. Her name is Aubrey." She informs."Yeah, I've seen her. What did she say?" I ask."She came and sat beside me and asked if I was prepared to be with a guy who is a potential drunk and who will spend the rest of his life in rehab. So I asked her what she was talking about." She explains. "With as much arrogance, she stated that one day Brian is going to end up like his mother.""She really said that?" I ask. She nods. "She
On Friday, I got to school earlier than normal because I got a ride from Liam, instead of walking. Liam and I got out from the car and walk into the school building together."Hey, when can we go and draw the cat and its kittens? I can't wait to draw them." I said excitedly as we were walking down the corridor.He chuckles. "Whenever you're ready." He replies."Okay. We can go tomorrow." I said, after some thought."That's okay with me." He said."Yes!" I said as I bounced up and down with excitement.Liam laughs. "You're cheery today." He states."I'm always cheery." I reply."Well, that's true, but you are more cheerier." He said.I giggle. "Liam, that is grammatically incorrect." He furrowed his eyebrows in a cute way. "What is?" He questions."You already said 'cheerier', you didn't need to say 'more' before it." I explain.He rolls his eyes, "Whatever." He said. I slap his arm and glare at him, even though I couldn't contain my laughter. He laughs at the face I was trying to ma
The rest of the weekend had passed and now it was Monday. Liam and I was at my house working on the last two sketches. Yesterday, we had spend the whole day together hanging out and drawing most of the sketches. We are ahead of time, because the assignment is due on Friday.Since we came from school, we were at my house in the spare room drawing. It has been an hour now and I was getting hungry."I'm going to make us some sandwiches." I said to Liam as I stood up. "I'll be right back." I add and he nods.I left the room and went into the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen, I saw my mom by the counter, getting dinner started."Hey Mom." I said when I enter the kitchen. Mom looked up from what she was doing."Hey Julia." She greets. "I didn't know you were here.""Yes. I'm with Liam, working on our assignment." I said."I hope you and him aren't in your room. You know how I feel about boys in your room." she warns."No Mom, we are not. We are in the spare room downstairs." I quickly cl
The following day, I got ready for school quickly and went downstairs to the kitchen. I saw my father in the kitchen as soon as I entered."Good morning Dad." I greet."Morning Julie." Dad responds as he poured himself a glass of orange juice."Where is Mom?" I ask as I got a bowl, the milk and the box of cheerios."Your mother has already left for work." He informs. As soon as I finish making my cereal, I sat down at the kitchen island to eat.I look up at Dad, who was now at the sink, rinsing out his glass. "So, aren't you going to work?" I ask. Normally, he would have left by now."I'm going in late today." He replies, turning off the tap. He then turns to me and smiles. "That's good isn't it? That means we can have a father-daughter time." He teases."Dad, I have school." I said, even though I knew he was joking. That was who Dad was. People would say that I got my cheerfulness and happy-go-lucky personality from him. Which is true."Oh yeah." He said, faking a sigh. "So much for
At the end of the day on Wednesday, I was standing by my locker waiting on Liam. He had told me this morning that he had something to ask me and I was curious as to what it was.Finally, I see him walking towards me. When he reaches where I stood, he smiles at me. Before I could get a word out, he wraps his hands around my waist and kissed me.Even though, he took me by surprise, I melted into the kiss. The kiss did not last long, as he pulls away a few seconds later. He takes my hand in his and smiles down at me. I look at him quizzically."So, I know tha-" he began, but was cut off by the ringing of his phone.He gives me an apologetic smile, before he fished his phone out of his pocket. "Hello." he said into the receiver. He talked to the person for a few seconds, before he hangs up."That was my mom." He said, putting the phone back into his pocket. "She has left some documents at home. She can't leave the office, so she asked me if I can go get them and bring them to her." He exp
Liam's POVAs soon as I left my mother's work place, I drove in the direction of Julia's house.I smile when I thought about her. This girl has really changed me. Changed me back into who I was before and maybe more. She has that effect on people. She is sweet, kind and she cares about people. I like that about her. I have always pushed people away before, so I never knew that I could like someone this much. She makes me so happy.Her natural cheerfulness and excitement is contagious. I don't know how she does it. Her easy smile, that lights up her entire face, makes my heart race every time. I don't know what this girl is doing to me, but I know that I have never felt this way before.I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend today at school, but my phone rang and then that girl came along and I didn't want to ask her in a rush. I wasn't even scared to make that commitment, because I'm sure about how I feel about her. She is everything to me and I'm going to let her know that.I fin
Liam's POVIt was now around 7pm and I was still at the hospital. I didn't plan on leaving, not until Julie wakes up.Julia's mom was asleep on the chair that she was on. Her father had went home to get some blankets to bring here. Beth was asleep as well. Her head was placed in Brian's lap, who was stroking her hair gently. He looks tired as well."Liam!" I hear my mother's voice. I look down the corridor and saw her walking towards me. I had called her earlier and informed her about what had happened. She said she would be here as soon as she left work.I stand up to meet her. She wraps her arms around me in a hug, when she reaches me. "I'm so sorry, honey." She said quietly. She pulls away and looks at me with a sad expression. "How is she? Have you heard anymore news?"I sigh and shoves my hands in my pants pockets. "No. No development." I answer, my voice cracking a bit."Oh honey." Her eyes then trails over to where Julia's mother lay, still asleep. "I can imagine what her mothe
Liam's POVThe following day was Friday and Julia still hadn't woken up. There was no improvement; her condition was the same. Yesterday, I had went home to have a shower, changed my clothes and bring back anything that I would need. I came back to the hospital right after.My mother had called me to try and convince me to go to school today, but I still refused. Surprisingly, she didn't argue with me. Julia's parent hadn't been to work either. They had asked for two days off. Beth and Brian did not go to school today either, but Brian had took Beth home to get some things.I was currently sitting on the chair that I had been on since I got to the hospital. I suddenly look up to see Dr. Barnes walking towards us.He greets us with a smile. "Julia can be visited by friends now." He relates. I nod my head at him, before he walks away again. I get up from my seat and begin to walk towards room 205.When I reach the door, I open it and step inside the room. Instantly, my eyes went to Juli
