chapter 17

Why did I knock on his door?

"Uughh... I..you... I..uugh" I stammered, murmuring all sort of nonsense.

Now where do I start from?

"Go away" He said about to close his door..

Oh Good! I should return to my room quietly.

"Liam" I swear, I didn't know when I mentioned his name. I guess my emotion is faster than my action.

"What is it?" He opened the door again and asked me.

Please Liam, just lock your door already and leave me alone because I really don't know what has taken over me right now and even made you to open the door for me? Okay, he didn't know I was the one knocking at first.

"Uhmm...can I come in please?" I asked him...giving him a pitiful stare. He was looking at me too, at least; it's no more a stern look...his eyes were now clouded with tears again and I could see that he was holding back the tears.

"Do you want to console me as a step mother or.. " He paused and cleaned his wet eyes with his bare hands but the tears freely flow down his cheeks.
