Forever Mine

Chapter 15

"Did things change when you had Ella? You know with Ryan and everything?"

"Well you know I had a lot of resentment towards Ryan. For getting me pregnant. I was really upset, like you were. But I don't know what's I held Ella in my arms. I just felt so much love for her. I wouldn't say I loved Ryan. More so tolerating him. I do it really for Ella's sake. She's too young to understand. I don't want her to understand either." Emma replies.

I took a sip of my coffee. I was telling her how the night went and how it ended. I didn't know how to feel about Liam anymore. I just hoped things would get better. For my baby's sake.

I sank down onto the couch. I loved Ella but she was exhausting. Liam plopped down next to me. Things were still awkward from last night.

"So what do you want to do today?"

He asks me that question like we would do something different then our usual routine.

"It doesn't really matter I guess." I shrugged.

I wasn't in the mood to fight with him today. I wasn't feeling too hot today.

"Are you mad at me?" He rubs my leg.

"That's a loaded question." I laugh a little.

"I'm always mad at you." I playfully roll my eyes.

"I know that. But I mean about last night."
I wanted to tell him but I was afraid that he was just get angry with me.

"I'm not angry. I was upset. Now I'm just confused. You can be so cruel sometimes. I never know what to expect with you. I don't know just last night for once after finding out I was pregnant and everything I just actually felt relaxed around you. I didn't feel so scared. Then when you yelled at me everything changed." I bite my lip nervously.

"I know. I'm sorry. I just didn't like the fact Ella was thinking about him. I didn't like that you still weren't happy here. I thought things would change once you got pregnant Av." He sighs.

"It just doesn't work like that. Just because we might have a connection now, it doesn't mean anything. I know you think that would happen but it's not."

He runs his hands through his hair. Like he does when he gets stressed.

"I don't understand Liam. I've made it clear that I'm not happy here. I've made it very clear how I feel about you. Why don't you give up? Why do you always try so hard to make things work? Why not just let me go? Don't you get tired of chasing?"

He gives me a little grin and laughs.
"You? Could I ever get tired of that beautiful face?" He gives me a playful nudge.

"You make things fun. You're different Av. You're not like the others. You're not like Emma or any other girl I met. You're a fighter, which always makes things interesting. You're beautiful. You're smart. You keep me on my toes that's for sure. I love you Avery. I would die for you. You're always gonna be mine Avery." He grins.

I just ignore him. I don't know why I even ask him these questions when I know the answer already.

Instead I lie down on the couch. He come and snuggles up next to me and wraps the blanket around me. I didn't even bother trying to move away. I was too tired to fight it.

I woke up and Liam was still passed out next to me. He looked cute when he slept. I kept thinking about what Emma had said. She just tolerates him. I guess I should start learning how to do that now. I hated being here but the more I fought it, the worse it would get. Just learn to live with him. I guess.

I got up and went to the fridge to grab a bottle of water. I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I put my head back and look up at Liam.

"Hi." I give him a small smile.
