It terrified me knowing that deep down he felt like he wouldn’t make it .

I saw him fighting .

Even at night , he’d wake up and hold me tight , his heart thundering as the darkness surged .

I felt him weaken as he repeatedly hurt himself to contain the threat he may become .

The emotions in his kiss terrified me .

It told me how much he loved me , how much he wanted to be with me , yet the fear that he’ll lose me ….

” So … tell me , what colour I should wear tomorrow ?

” I asked , looking up into those gorgeous cerulean eyes that I loved as a new song began playing .

” Hmm ….

I actually have something for you .

” He said smiling softly His eyes sparkled as he caressed my cheek before cupping my chin .

” I hope you like it ” ” Ooo an outfit … I do like it ! Even if I haven’t seen it ! ” I said kissing his thumb that was rubbing my bottom lip He smiled in amusement before his gaze fell to my lips as he licked his own lush ones .

I wrapped my mouth around his thumb , taking it fully into my mouth , letting my tongue stroke it as I sucked on i t for a moment , my eyes watching him seductively , my core throbbing with a need only he could satiate .

” Fuck love .

” He growled huskily , pulling me close and kissing me hard .

This was the life .

LIAM It was much later , everyone had eaten and drunk a lot .

I had gone easy on the drinks , having two and that’s it .

With the darkness looking for any chance to seep out , I needed to be in my right fucking mind .

We were seated at a table ; Zack , Taylor , Damon , Raven and I playing spin the bottle .

A game that Taylor insisted we play .

” Ok ok , how old were you Zack when you lost your virginity ? ” Taylor asked , smiling goofily .

 

The dude sure was drunk .

” Thirteen .

” Zack said , making Taylor pout .

” That’s early ! ” ” You asked , babe .

” Zack replied , kissing him hard .

Taylor pulled him close , although there wasn’t much space left between them .

The rest of us exchanged looks as Raven giggled , watching them .

” How old are you ? ” I asked her , standing u p .

Her reply was only to whistle and giggle again .

Damon chuckled .

” Go home , guys .

” He teased .

The three of us went over to the side .

The party was still going strong , and I knew it would continue for another few hours .

” Aunty seems happier lately .

” Raven said , looking over at Monica , who was now sitting with Mom and Dad as Mom hugged her .

” Yeah , I think having more people around her has really helped . ” Damon said guiltily .

I knew he was probably feeling awful that he had to leave her often .

” You have work , don’t feel bad , no one realised we could have done more … I’m sure we can make sure Aunty always has someone around her .

” I said , frowning thoughtfully .

” She’s aware that Dad isn’t here … But she’s coping .

, ” Damon whispered , his eyes on his mother .

” Yeah , losing a mate isn’t easy .

” Raven said quietly .

All eyes were on Aunty Monica , but I won’t deny that we were all thinking of our own situation … I realised Damon only had his mother … and Raven … she only had us … Her family was gone .

” Ooo they are cutting the cake ! ” I smiled , watching her .
