Liam ran up. He looked angry and pointed at
our hands.
“Do you not want me anymore?”
He acted like I was the bad guy.
“Yes.”
“Can we talk?” He asked.
“Hailey, we need to talk.”
“There is nothing to talk about. Go home.”
“No!”
“Let’s just talk. Then I’ll go home and won’t

“Let’s just talk. Then I’ll go home and won’t
bother you.”
I nodded.
Hank let go of my hand and gave us space.
“I’ll be waiting upstairs.” He looked at Liam,
and it was like war.
I chuckled and looked at Hank.
Liam was quiet for a moment, then spoke.
“Why… don’t you like me anymore?”
I wanted to get away from Liam.
He was disrespectful and the Ashley would
not stop.

I thought and asked:
“Did you like me? What is love?”
Liam said: “Of course I like you.”
I used to want him to say that, but now I
didn’t care.
“I don’t get how you feel.”
“You stayed out all night with Ashley, and
spent money on her and even let her wear my
dress.”
“What did you do for me?”
Liam’s face turned pale.
He never did anything.

Liam went to say something, but didn’t.
He only hurt me.
Liam started panicking.
“No! I didn’t know what love was, and I acted
bad.”
“I thought you were annoying, but now I know
that I can’t be without you.”
“Please forgive me.”
“After I go home, I’ll end things with Ashley,
and I promise to be good!”
Liam was begging me.
But what was he going to do?

I said: “You hurt me.‘
“I should go. He’s waiting.”
Liam got in the way.
I glared at him.
“Liam! Don’t make me hate you.‘

Liam froze.
“Okay.”
