Lior’s Complex: Part 3

Lior's POV

__________

My brother knocked on the window snapping me out of my daze so I unlocked the car doors. He sat in the car staring at me "Man, what the hell happened out there?"

I turned on the car, sparking the engine. I then drove out of the parking lot "I snapped, Connor, I f***ing snapped."

Connor sighed "You won regionals, now you might get suspended because guess what dude… they had to call a f**ing ambulance for Liam."

I stopped at a red light "I don't f**ing care."

Connor sighed once more before looking at his phone.

Connor looked shocked as he scrolled through Instagram… "Yo…"

I glanced over then stared back at the road "What.. what is it?"

Connor with a look of concern looked Lior in his eyes "I'll tell you when we get home, it's just odd that's all."

I relaxed a bit fearing the worse "Okay."

I then broke the silence after driving for five minutes "How's your girlfriend?"

Connor laughed "We broke up like six months ago! How'd you not notice?"

I chuckled "I guess I've been caught up in my own love life, but how was the breakup?"

Connor's wide grin became a simple one "It was okay, she just needed more emotional support then I could give her, so we broke up and I drove her to the mental hospital, she was admitted and we talked everyday and apparently she just needs to stay there for a couple of years."

My jaw dropped "Connor, why the fuck didn't you tell me this?"

Connor cracked his neck "You had your own thing going on so I just talked to Father about it."

I pulled up in the driveway to see the cops fucking everywhere, Connor and I quickly jumped out of the car. My mother came out and hugged me tightly "Congratulations on making it to state, first of all."

Connor ran to his Father, and he hugged him tightly . Connor asked what was wrong to which father replied with "It doesn't concern you."

I looked at the police cars, there were no flashing lights but I was still concerned. Connor looked back at me as his father took him inside. That look of concern worried me.

My mom had a sad look on her face "Jack's mother called me and said she's filing a wrongful death lawsuit since uh… Jack died a few minutes ago, I'm sorry I know you were trying to protect him."

I burst into tears, my mother held me tightly "I know…I know… you can cry, let it all out."

"Ma'am", a cop stopped to talk to my mother.

"Please give me a moment ", she spoke politely.

The cop nodded and walked away, she pulled me away from her chest and fixed my hair "They need you to write a statement, and possibly testify in court."

I wiped my tears my mom held both of my shaking hands "You'll be okay, I promise you will."

I gave my mother another hug and went with the police officer to the station. I waved my mother goodbye as I sat in the back of the police car . I briefly heard Father say "Great, now we'll be in the public eye again."

My Mother shushed him "We'll be fine. If Liam try's to sue we'll sue him for all he's got."

"I love you", my father lifted up her chin and kissed her passionately.

The police officer finally drove away. The police officer glanced over his shoulder "You okay kid?"

I nodded "Yeah, I just wanna get this over with."

The cop nodded and after long silence we reached the station. I ended up talking to a detective about Liam, the party, and everyone I saw there including Caden. He shook my hand when he was done and thanked me for cooperating.

He asked if I needed a ride home but I politely declined. I finally exited the station and decided to walk thirty minutes home. I then got side tracked, I missed Caden, I felt bad but I still felt confused. I then came to a weird realization… "Maybe I couldn't communicate with girls romantically because I'm ga-"

I stopped myself from having that thought, maybe it's denial but I don't care right now, I don't wanna think about it. I wreaked of sweat, I had forgotten I was in my soccer uniform. "F*ck", I whispered , it had gotten cold outside but I found myself walking past the corner store. I then found myself in front of Liam's house. I then felt a wave of emotions in the one second I stood in front of his house. "F*ck!", I kicked the trash can in front of Liam's house.

I then heard a noise come from the backyard, I then saw the front door open "Lior?"

I turned to see Caden at the door, I was stunned. He tilted his head "Would ya come in, it's getting to be thirty fucking degrees outside!"

I looked at him "Is Liam there?"

"F*ck no! Could you just come in?!", Caden had yelled.

I ran to the door and Caden had shut the door behind him "I didn't think you'd be here", I sounded out of breath.

"So you were looking for me?", he raised a brow.

I followed him as he turned his back and walked to the backyard "Not really", I looked down

He glanced at me and opened the screen door to the backyard.

I then continued "I mean, I did want to apologize but I really don't know why I came here", I let out a nervous chuckle.

He looked at me as I sat down "Don't cry."

I did my best to hide it but he saw my face for two seconds and he could tell.

He sat across from me on the porch, we sat on the cold concrete. I just let it out, I cried and he let me cry on his shoulder. He caressed my hair then he spoke "It's okay, but I'm sorry if the kiss made you uncomfortable, it was truly my fault."

"It's not that…", I cleared my throat.

"Uh, Jack, uh he died", I sniffled.

The look of shock in his eyes was apparent "I'm sorry, f*ck, Liam is the devil…our history is complicated but he was never a good person hand it ISNT your fault."

I bit my lip then I finally stared at him. I looked as if I was about to turn away from him "Where are you goin-"

I pressed my lips against his then pulled away "I-

Caden kissed me back and I groaned, I found myself liking it, I felt more than I would feel with a woman, a whole new sensation from just kissing.

He gently fell on top of me and he took off his shirt, he kissed my neck then went down to kiss my chest, it was the feeling of my body submerging in cold water. I then felt his hand in my shorts, feeling his thumb on the tip of my penis. "Stop", I groaned.

I kicked away seeing he was too into the moment, I also noticed red marks on his arms… on his veins.

I sat up fixing my messy hair, he slowly stood up he looked at me with an almost cold stare. I pulled my shorts up. I then gave him a glare "Did you relapse?"

He gave me a nervous chuckle"Does it even matter?"

I stared shaking considering it was 30 degrees outside, Caden was sweating. I looked at him "When I think about it when you told me you were withdrawing in the hospital I should've realized… that you could of died! You can't get off heroin that fast it's fucking impossible without seizures and near death shit!"

He rubbed his arm "I don't wanna hear it right now."

"Please tell me you didn't relapse after the kiss in the car?", I spoke.

He remained silent. "Caden, please, if I'm going to be around you more often you need to go to rehab, I'll pay for it… no one has to know."

"Shut the fuck up! This isn't a f***ing intervention!", Caden screamed.

"Caden…", I took a deep breath.

Caden sat down and tried not to cry" I have no one right now, no family, no nothing, I just "use" to forget about everything."

I looked at Caden "Give me your phone number, I'll send you my address, you're welcome to come over anytime."

He stood up and put his head on my shoulder "Sure."

He then whispered "What if I killed Jack?"
