Chapter 74
Liam keeps watching me like I’m going to die any second, and a part of me wishes I had. The memories of that night, the pain… My mom. My mom is dead. Waking up and not seeing her, confirmed it. She would have been here if she had been able to. She died, because of what? Because my father is crazy? He said my mom hid me for eighteen years, but why? Did she know he was crazy? What else was my mom hiding from me? Was all of this my fault?
I’m torn from my thoughts with Liam looking at me like he asked me a question. He realizes I wasn’t paying attention and asks again, “Are you hungry? The doctor said you could eat, if you’re feeling up to it.” I nod my head, and he kisses my forehead and leaves to get me food. I’m not sure why I said yes, I’m not hungry at all. He left Dallas and Mia to watch over me. Dallas walks over to the seat that Liam’s been occupying, sits down and grabs my hand. “Aims, I know I can’t understand what you went through, but can you at least talk to us?” He pleads with his eyes, and I just stare at him. None of them have confirmed to me that my mom’s dead. I’m sure they’re assuming I can’t handle it, but it makes me upset that all of them are lying to me. I just can’t find it in me to talk to anyone. What will they think of me, when they learn that this is all my fault? When they know I’m the reason my mom is dead.
I can see how upset I’m making him, but he tries to hide it with a small smile. I just want to go home, but I no longer have a home. I just can’t go back there, I just can’t. A minute later Liam comes in with my food. Dallas sighs loudly and stands to move out of Liam’s way. Liam glances at Dallas and Dallas slightly nods no sadly. They had a plan, and it clearly didn’t work. Liam looks back at me with worried eyes, then fixes his face and walks over to me happily, placing the food in front of me.
I stare at the food for a long time, everybody in the room just being silent watching me. I start to push the tray away from me so I can take a nap, when my door opens up. I look at the door, and a lady in her mid forties, maybe, werewolves age so slow I can’t really tell, comes in. Everybody in the room stares at her, clearly no ones knows why she’s here. She looks at my friends, “Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Kennedy. I’m here to talk to Amy, could you guys please leave?” She asks them kindly, looking at each of them individually. They all look wary to leave and just stare at her. Liam asks to see her badge and wants the nurse that Liam trust to confirm that she’s the therapist that the hospital employs. I can’t help but smile a little at his protectiveness, still. But I guess I don’t blame him, they have no idea what happened.
Once all is confirmed, Liam comes and kisses me on the forehead. Then leaves with Mia and Dallas, saying they’ll be back as soon as we’re done.
Dr. Kennedy walks over to the chair next to my bed, once the door closes behind Liam. She smiles at me, “You have some really good support, sweetheart.” I close my eyes at the term my mom always used for me and lean back into my bed, causing me slight pain. She doesn’t start back up yet; she just watches me. I open my eyes after my brain settles down and look back at her. “What happened right there? Did what I say upset you? Are they not really supportive? Do you need me to keep them away?” She asks me worriedly, and I just shake my
head no at her.
