"Did he hurt you?! Just give me a yes or a no."

"Wha-? Why do you think Hyde did something to me?"

"So he didn't, right?!"

"No- no he didn't." I answer in a hurry. What the hell's going on?!

"That fucker was doing something on the backside hallway of the town hall. You know it's pretty isolated. There was so much noise on the field and no one probably heard anything." He keeps saying all of that in one breath.

"He probably saw me and ran away. I was chasing him but he took a blind turn or something I couldn't find him."

Liam was after Hyde! That's why he looked worried. "When did it happen?"

"I don't know, like a few hours ago. I think he didn't come down, maybe he went further upstairs. I should have known! Shit!" A banging sound from the side.

"Liam! Don't hurt yourself!"

"So you're okay? Right?" He asks again, ignoring that I showed concern towards him.

"Yeah I'm fine. But where are you right now?"

"I'm uh, I'm going back home now."

"Oh-kay. Yeah, cool " he hangs up.

Seriously? Nothing? Not even a 'I miss you'? I mean I miss him for sure. But then it's pretty obvious for him to not miss me. He probably didn't even like me. He knew that he was gonna leave me but then, for some reason he didn't.

But does that make it easy for me, NO! Cause I'm already in- yeah like I'm kind of in-. Forget it. I sigh.

I get out of the washroom, and head to the room Jasper's supposed to be in. "Hey"

"Oh, hi" Dan gives a faint smile.

"Have you been crying?" He furrows his eyes.

I let out a nervous chuckle and try my best not to sound like I'm lying, he's no Chloe, he won't catch that I'm lying "uhm, no, No." I assure him "Did you talk to the doctor?"

"Yeah, so uhm, Jasper was injected by poison."

I think I'm gonna faint "hh" I grab my forehead. "Wha-? He's uh, gonna me okay? Right?"

Dan clenches his jaws "yeah." He looks at me and sighs "maybe you should give a call to Chloe." I nod my head, still in daze, because of the news I just heard.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I crawl up on my bed and slowly lie down. I sigh. I do feel a little better after that long warm bath. Gowd I wish long warm baths could solve everything. I take my phone to text Chloe.

Evelyn: Did you eat?

Chloe: Barely

Evelyn: As ridiculous as this sounds you should try to relax, take some rest.                             Try to listen to some calming music. NOT romantic or sad, calming music and going to sleep.

Chloe: hmm

I'm sure it was Hyde. But we can't prove it. That bastard always gets away. Gohd! I curl my fingers to form a fist and tighten my jaws.

For now, I just hope Jasper gets better, he literally isn't involved in any of this. And Jasper being a victim is gonna keep Dan involved in all of this. I get it, Dan's worried about his brother but it's more than just Jasper's safety that we're talking about here.

But why Jasper? He wasn't even there that day. I hold a pillow tight to myself.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

School's been boring as well as tiring this whole month. Every morning it's the same. There's literally not even a single drop of will that'll convince me to take my ass to school. I don't know why but for this entire month, Hyde took our classes and didn't do or say anything creepy.

Chloe barely came to school. Leo, Austin and I sit in the cafeteria instead of the bleachers. Austin told Leo about our little conflict of interest. And by conflict of interest I mean Liam and my break up.

Leo never mentioned anything about it. He just came and gave me a hug every morning until I told him that, 'I'm fine'. He gave me final big, warm hug and said "gurrlll you're a goddess. Remember that."

I crawl up on my bed after a very tiring and unproductive day since I can barely focus on my studies. It doesn't take much time for me to fall asleep.

*Phone starts buzzing

I move my hand around the bed to find it, and I get it. 2:05? When did I fall asleep? But that's not what concerns me now, my heart starts running fast after I see his name.

Liam.

This urge, to pick up his call, I can't stop. So I do, I pick up the call. "Hey" comes from that side.

"Hey" I answer. "You still up?"

"Can't fall asleep" he says in a low, tired voice. Why does that tickle my stomach, I sharply sigh.

"Why" I ask lowly

"I miss you" huh. I bit my lip. "Can we talk? Please." I hear the desperation in his voice. Not that I wasn't desperate to talk to him.

"When?"

"School?" he suggests, and I agree. I hang up, keep the phone beside me and look up at the ceiling. I'm blank, my mind's empty, my heart is full of emotions that I can't figure out.

Spent the rest of my night reading a book. Couldn't sleep after I heard that voice. The next thing I know, I'm late. For school.

Shit shit shit shit!

I rush inside the washroom, after the shower I put on a lazy ass outfit, a green and white sweatshirt and a white sweat pant. Hop downstairs, grab a few pancakes. Mum's sitting on the couch with a bunch of papers.

"Hey, I'm leaving for school."

"Okay hon," she turns around and says, "oh" turns around again "did you have fun yesterday? I had to leave, unfortunately, there was an emergency at the shop, someone messed up a big order."

"Yeah, I had, fun." I smile nervously, thinking of what actually went down. "I'll leave now, I'm getting late."

After I leave I find Chloe approaching me. I wave at her, she waves back. "Why are you late these days? It's" she pauses and looks at me "so unlike you."

I give a soft nervous smile "I overslept." I chuckle "again."

"Mhhm, so what's up with you and Kade." She asks, knowing there's definitely something wrong. And honestly I'm not gonna lie to her about it.

"So, remember how I told you there's something he isn't telling me," she nods "he still hasn't come clean, and I didn't tell him that whatever he's hiding I know, so that he won't just make something up, and cover his ass"

"Smart."

"I want him to confess. But I don't think he will. So like a few weeks ago, I told him we can't do this if you keep lying, he still didn't spill anything!"

"But if he's not saying anything, you sure you're not misunderstanding him? You sure he's lying?"

"Chloe I know what I saw-"

"You saw??! Who? Whom did you see?! You never told me you saw someone with him."

God damn my tongue. I shut my eyes. "Yeah, about that. I know I didn't, and I was so confused myself and I was mad, and anxious, telling you would just have made me cry. More than I already did. " Chloe keeps a steady eye on me.

"It's okay. We're growing now, and it's normal, even I think twice before before saying something personal to someone, I just didn't think it'll have me in your list."

"Chloe you're my best friend, there are things that I don't tell my mom about but you know about them, all this is really really new to me. I don't wanna make a fool out of myself, I know you care for me and I don't want to worry you."

We reach school, Leo and Austin waiting for us at the gate we enter and I find Liam leaning against my locker. He just simply leans against the locker with his arms crossed as soon as he sees me he sighs.

Chloe, Austin and Leo leave my side, while Liam approaches. He comes and holds my hands, he's just. Just. sooo sweet! "Thank you for letting me have this conversation with you."

"Mmhmm" he grabs my hand and proceeds to leave the hallway. We enter an empty class, he locks the door. Uh-oh. I keep my eyes on him.

"I miss you, I miss talking to you, I miss seeing you smile, every time you see me." He holds my face "can we stop doing this, please. Can we go back to how we were? I'm sorry, I said you that I can't stay with you. I sorry- "

"Liam-" I try to stop him

"No no. NO, listen to me once please I really, TRULY sorry, for saying anything that hurt you, I can't stay away from you."

"Then why did you say that we can't do this?" I ask him, genuinely wanting him to tell me the truth.

"I was in a bad place, with my family, other stuff, it was just- I had a lot going on" again. And again, and again.

He grabs me by my waist and gently tosses me over a bench, I gasp in shock. That was hot. "I wish I could just kiss you right now, but. I can't"

Maybe you can. What? No Evelyn, You're mad at him for lying to you, be mad " So that's what you wanted to talk about?" sheeshhh I sounded like such an ass.

"That mad huh?" he says lowly and nods his head. He looks up at me and locks his eyes in mine, gosh darn his cute brown eyes are still the same. I mean of course they'd be the same. The look, it's still the same.

"Liam. Why aren't you telling me the truth? You know that you're lying, and you still keep lying to my face."

~*~*~*~*~*~

A/N

Who else thinks that Liam is being a total jerk. *Raises hand. the more I keep writing the more I feel I could do wonders if I only wrote villains. But here I am. Does Liam have a good enough reason behind this behaviour? Is it really worth it?

Keep reading to catch up on this very dramatic ride. Next chapter coming up soon ! Until then, Byeeeee
