The first of many.

' You should have stayed away.' I mumbled to myself as I continually tapped my foot on the floor. I'd been standing in the same spot for some time now, contemplating whether I should go into his hospital room or not. The wait had been torturous but that's all I could do at that very moment, to simply wait. My eyes welled up when the image of an unconscious Liam came to mind. That image had been haunting me on the way to the hospital, and it seemed like it was not done with me yet. I wish I could have done more to warn him. Why did he have to be so stubborn? ' Why Liam, why did you have to be so stubborn?' I felt guilty and sorry. I wished I could tell him right now but I doubt I would be allowed to. 'Ah!' I let out a gasp when I was suddenly jerked around by arm, to face a rather upset Mrs Myers. ' How could you let him risk his life like that Milla? I nearly lost my son because of you!' I wake up with a start, sweating and all. It takes my heart quite a bit of time to calm

Traitorous tears.

" You'll do it." I say without holding back. He whips around and we stand facing each other. I've caught him off guard, it's written all over his face. " Milla." He breathes out, now blinking at me. " Whatever it is that you want to set right, you'll do it." " You believe that?" ' Why is he looking at me as if he needs reassurance right now?' " My father would have said this to you, that's why I'm doing it in his place right now." I explain, avoiding eye contact because my face is feeling mighty warm from embarassment. He doesn't say anything but I can feel him staring at me. " I didn't think you'd show up here?" I comment while walking past him. " He's always been uncle Steven to me." ' And you were like a son to him, the son he never once forgot.' " How long were you standing there for?" He asks. " Not long ( I look at him from over my shoulder), and just so you know, I wasn't eaves-dropping on your conversation." " I'll take your word for it," he says. ' In oth

You are part of us.

Your warm hugs are what I cherish most dad. These are words amongst many, that were meant for him to both hear and see, but he never got the chance to. I remember how excited I was years back when the idea, to gift him a personal notebook came to mind. The notebook would be filled with many things, I have wanted to express to him. In my own way, it would be my personal gratitude letter to him. This idea came about at a time where I felt it truly wasn't enough, to simply say how I felt. Sometimes, written words made all the difference. This gift had been prepared for today. Unfortunately, I won't have the opportunity to physically hand it over to him. 'No matter what, he knew how much I appreciated him.' With a heavy heart, I place it aside before taking one of his framed pictures and hold it against my chest. Emotions have got a hold over me in this moment and I wish it were a different time. The reason for this is downstairs. The Myers. ~~~ Flashback~~~ 'Co

'She's right, I like it here.'

Years back...... 'So, are you going to admit that you're trying to steal my mother?' I said, before digging into my cereal. 'Milla!" Mom scolded me as she placed the plate full of food infront of Liam. I pouted at her. 'I like aunt Silvia's food.' Liam responded as he began eating. " So you admit that you are here for ----" 'Milla Rosaline Nelson, leave my son alone.' I gasped dramatically.' Mom, am I not your only child? What happened to Love?' ' Don't be silly, finish up.' She shook her head, ignoring me. I poked my tongue out at her when she turned her back to us. She continued with what she had been doing. My eyes widened a little when I noticed dad watching. I hadn't even seen him standing at the doorway, watching all of us. He was the one whom opened the door earlier, to discover Liam standing at our doorstep with his pjs on. I swear that I had to blink a couple of times while standing on the stairs, trying to make sure I was seeing right. This is the third time he

We need to talk.

Usually I am the most bothered when it comes to my mom crying. I don't like seeing her hurt or cry, but just today, witnessing her all emotional when she saw William, I understood what the moment meant. Despite the strained silence between our families all these years, mom has held a very special place in her heart for Liam. I'm pretty sure memories with his visits where dad was present, flashed before her eyes as she looked him over. Emotions were expressed in his eyes too and once they embraced each other, they held onto one another for a moment longer before they broke into smiles. His family didn't stay long, therefore he was left alone with us. I was that his mother didn't comment, about him remaining behind. I believe she didn't have much of a choice when he made it pretty clear he would stay. Conversations didn't flow easily at first, because both were not sure on which direction of topic to take. I tried to be the middle man for some time, with the help of Lia ofcourse. Tha

A second family.

William's P.O.V 'Then leave me alone, atleast for a while.' 'The last time I did that, two months passed.' 'And you were doing just fine throughout all these years.' Parts of the conversation from earlier, played in mind like a tape recorder. William Myers let out a heavy sigh, tilting his head back as he made himself comfortable on his chair. He could not believe that he had failed in making today, a memorable one. Despite his efforts to not bring trouble, he seemed to do that very same thing. Couldn't she see his effort? ' Not when she couldn't see past what you'd done.' His conscious attacked him with the truth. It troubled him greatly that the one who used to understand him most, had lost that. He wanted- No, he needed that trust back. He knew the moment he took that step two months ago, nothing would ever be the same again. What he was learning, was the amount of work he would have to put in, for her to look at him the same. Would it even be possible, given the situa

I've got you.

The last errand of the day is the one that has led me, to the Myers residence. My feet had stayed rooted in place, the moment I stood infront of those big gates. My task is really simple, that is why it was last on the list. Or maybe I wanted to delay this as much as possible. 'I try to stay away but something keeps pulling me back here.' It's been days since the last time I was here yet it feels like the first time. And it's been 3 days since I last saw and heard from him. Did I count? No. It simply came to mind. Distance was what I had asked for and he gave me that. Now here I was, in his home. What does that say about me? ' Sorry mom, but you are setting me up again.' 'No, she only asked me to run her an errand. She's innocent in this.' ' I'll do my part and leave. Simple as that.' " Miss Milla?" A female voice startled me, knocking me out of my thoughts. " Yes?" " Mr Myers will be down shortly. He's currently busy with a call." She informs me. I nod. " Oh oka

Thank You.

" I-I'm cold." I pretty much breathe out the words. " I'll get you something warm." He says, moving back. He looks at me for a moment, before he walks away. I remain unmoving by the door, afraid that I will make the floor more wet if I move around. I watch him for a while as he moves around, as if I'm not there. He disappears for a little bit inside his walk in closet, and I take that time to look around his room. This is the first time I've been to his room. He's changed rooms, I can tell. The last time I was in his previous room, was years ago and it looked a little different. The theme was more boyish with toys, trophies, medals and stuff. Now, this room has more of a mature vibe. It matches the style of a young adult, from the size of the bed to his working space, not to mention the chilling area and colour. William's room is literally an en suite. Its pretty cool. In the past, his colour was blue, now the theme of his room leans more on forest green with a touch of ear

I'm still here.

" Liam?" He looks at me. " Are you trying to make me stay here longer?" Silence. I need to ask, he's acting too suspicious. " Yes." He admits, honesty dripping through his voice. " Okay." I nod, continuing to eat. I'm surprised he admitted to that. I feel him looking at me the whole time I'm eating, which is making me feel a little awkward. I sigh and stop eating, leaning back against the couch. " You shouldn't do that." I say, playing with the sleeves of his shirt. " I'm being selfish. Let me." " W-what?" I turn to him now. He throws in a piece of peach in his mouth and I wait for him to finish eating. " I'm taking advantage of this moment." I don't say anything, waiting for him to explain. He turns his body to face me completely, letting his arm rest at the back of the couch. " This is the first time we've actually sat together like this, since I came back." He shrugs in a casual manner despite the seriousness that comes from both his voice and eyes. I can ki

A distraction.

' You know, I thought I'd be seeing a ring by now.' These were Nicole Smith's words, that have not left my mind. The encounter had been unexpected and unsettled me in some ways. Yes, the last time we interacted, it had been settled that I would return a married woman. The wife to Mr Shard. Her being a connection to the secrets I hid, made seeing her again, feel like my secrets were being exposed at that moment. Similar to William. One thing would be left and it's the appearance of Mr Shard, to bring the ultimate bomb. It had taken only a couple of encounters to sum up that Mr Shard was a private person. So it didn't surprise me that he had a few he considered his people. These were the people who knew a little more about him, unveiling layers of him that made him seem more human to me. It was through such information and discoveries of those parts of him, that changed a bit of my view of him. You see, Mr Shard at first seemed hard to approach. The intimidating and a bit of col
