Chapter 134
+25 Bonus
“Look Liam, it’s like I said I don’t expect you to ever forgive me. I know what I took from you, six years. I took six years of your life from you, and I’ll never be able to fix that. I took six years of your kids lives from you, I know you’ll never be able to hold them as babies or watch them walk for the first time, you had to miss so much. But none of that is your fault and the kids know that. I told them everything, I took the blame, because it was my blame to take. I never let a day go by where they didn’t know how much you loved them.” We sit in silence for a minute, and I get up to leave.
Liam grabs my arm, “It’s like I said Amy, I understand why you did what you felt you needed to do, but I’m just hurt.” I pull him out of his chair, with him helping me because I start shaking. I look him in the eye and wrap my arms around him, he hesitates for a second then tightly pulls me to him. We stand there for what feels like forever, just letting our silent tears fall and taking comfort in each other.
I feel him relax his arms and I pull away. “How much do the kids know? They seem terrified your father is going to come kill us all.” Liam says, looking at me accusingly. I stare at him in understanding, most parents wouldn’t tell their kids as much as I have. “I’ve told them everything. I kiddie it up for them for now, but I won’t make the same mistake my mother made. They know what’s coming, because I want them to be prepared.” I say without losing eye contact. I see realization cross his face and then understanding.
He nods and walks around his desk; I turn to leave thinking we were done. “Aims, you and Nick?” I chuckle, I’ve been waiting for this question. “Good friends. Nothing ever happened between us. I couldn’t have moved on from you even if I had tried.” He smirks but looks down trying to hide it.
I start to ask him about Clara, when the door swings open. Clara walks over to Liam and puts her hand on his arm again. I see Liam look at her confused. “Oh, sorry babe, I didn’t realize you were in a meeting.” She says snarling at me. Babe? “It’s fine Clara, I was just leaving.” I say and start to walk out. I hear Liam call for me, but I don’t want to see anything else. Of all people. Why her?
I walk downstairs and head to the living room where I hear my kids playing. Before the world goes black and I feel myself falling to the ground.
