It was already Saturday and I couldn't believe it, the past few days flew by so quick. Liam and I have done so much together and I wanted to do more but the universe works in mysterious ways
"mom please don't embarrass me in front of Liam. I know you're not his biggest fan right now but I care about him so please just give him a chance ...ok?"
Tonight was the dinner with my mom and after telling her what happened and how he has to leave tomorrow she doesn't really like Liam "honey I won't embarrass you alright"
She was cooking dinner and in a few hours Liam was suppose to show up and we'd all just enjoy a dinner while my mom interrogates him.
"Brett are you going to help me with the food or are you just going to stand there?" yeah I don't cook
"See mom I would but sorry my phone's ringing" I ran to my room to answer it "hey"
"How's the dinner going?"
"Hasn't started yet my mom's cooking the food"
"So how'd your mom take the Liam news?" she wasn't happy about it
"Let's just say I might have to tame her before dinner" we laughed
"I don't think she'll be that bad, knowing Liam he will probably turn on his charm and just swindle her into liking him, like he did to you" there was no swindle I liked Liam before he even knew my name
"Lol maybe you're right"
"So how are you holding up?"
"Honestly I'm devastated inside but I can't show that because I don't want him to feel bad"
"It won't be easy watching him go when you care about him so much"
"I don't just care about him Leah I'm falling for him and I can't tell him that now" every time the thought comes into my head it turns my stomach, it was all real Liam was really leaving TOMORROW!
"Aww I think he deserves to know" right I'm gonna tell him in falling for him and what that's just suppose to keep him here
"I think I'll just hold on to this piece of information for now" I would have felt selfish telling him how I really felt, and what if I did and to him this was just a fling that would hurt me more.
It was about 5:30 pm now and my mom already had the table all set up an now she was in the shower and I was on the phone with Liam
"Don't worry she doesn't hate you you'll just have to charm her that's all" he was kind of nervous after finding out how my mom really felt
"I truly did not mean to upset anyone Brett and I knew me not telling might have gotten me hated by your mom and Leah"
"Leah most definitely doesn't hate you and neither does my mom how can they you're such a down to earth person they just don't want to see me get hurt"
"You think I'm down to earth?" I smiled
"I do. And I also think you're very smart and caring and sexy" he laughed then stopped
"I never wanted to hurt you Brett"
"I know, and I'm not hurt anymore, disappointed yes but not hurt"
"Disappointed in me?"
"No never, I'm disappointed in you leaving" I didn't want him to feel bad
"I truly am sorry"
"Stop apologizing Liam, its fine" he was sorry I could tell but what can I do I felt helpless
"Brett I'm gonna go get ready ok I'll see you soon"
"I can't wait" we hung up and I just sat in bed for awhile just replaying every word Liam's ever said to me. I'm going to miss everything about him his voice, his sent, his charm, his body, his hair, his eyes those sweet and mesmerizing eyes. I went crazy just thinking about him, what was I going to do?

My mom just kept on giving him icy stares as we ate and yet he still was able to keep a smile on his face. to make him feel better i placed my hand on his thigh and he put his on top of mine and intertwined our fingers and it made me smile.
I tried breaking the silence "so mom did you know that Liam's major is film, he's studying to become a director" we smiled at each other
"I bet" she said as she filled her mouth with chicken. I was really trying but she wasn't even showing any effort, I frowned and Liam saw how sad I looked and opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off
"Mom I really wish you wouldn't act like this..."
"It's ok Brett" he insisted
"No it's not, mom I begged you, I begged you not to do this. Liam leaves tomorrow and I don't want there to be any reason for him to never talk to me again. I care about him and I wish you could see that I wish you could see how much I'm falling for him" as the words snuck out of my mouth I quickly wish they hadn't 'stupid big mouth why can't you stay shut'
I slowly turned to face Liam to find his eyes widened and his mouth open "you- you're falling for me?" I shook my head yes and he smiled a smile so wide and beautiful, and in that moment I wanted to just kiss him with all of my might but couldn't because my mom was still there sitting across from us
"Honey I'm sorry..." She continued " but I know, he doesn't and neither do you, but I know" she emphasized
"Know what mom?"
"I know how hard it is when someone leaves you, he won't have to deal with it when he's gone an neither does your father but I do I have to pick up the pieces Brett" I can't believe she said that
I angrily got out of my seat "now I'm something you have to deal with mom?, thanks, thanks so much for your support" I reached my hand out to Liam and he took it and I yanked him with me so we could leave, I wasn't going to stay here
"No Brett that's not what I meant.." I slowly turned to face her with Liam's hand still in mine
"I know what you meant" I turned to keep walking but Liam let go of my hand
"Mrs. Bradshaw thank you for the food and I am so sorry for what I have done" I grabbed his hand
"You've done nothing!" we walked out the door and got in my car and I drove away.
