Chapter 23

"What?" I asked, I knew Ian was somewhere connected but I dint thought he would be the person to started everything.

"What did he do?" I asked and Liam stared ahead for a few seconds before he talked.

"When you were doing your project with your friend at his house, I got a call from Ian saying he wants to meet me urgently. When we met, he said that you are cheating on me." He said with venom laced voice.

"And you believed him?" I asked him, he looked at me and saying, "No, I dint believe him. I punched him in his face for saying that but then he showed me some picture of you and that guy kissing."

"What?" I said being surprised and shocked.

"Yeah, and I got mad at that thing. But after a few hours I figured it out that the pictures were taken from the angle that it seemed like you both were kissing. I tried to call you and meet you, I tried everything. But it was too late, you were already gone." He said the last part in whisper with a frown on his face.

"I am so sorry that I was not there with you. I am sorry Liam." I said as the tears started flowing through my eyes. Embracing me he kissed my fore head saying, "It's okay Ava."

"Why did he do it? He was our friend?" I asked being confused.

"He likes you, he liked you even before we met each other. And I knew it from the start, I promised him that he would get you but instead I fell for you. I started loving you and it was so strong that it was hard to stay away from you. Then, when one day Aiden told me that you like me so I broke my promise to him. From then he has been mad, at me but dint do anything because you liked me." He took a pause and taking a deep breath he continued.

"He took those pictures and showed me which took me to the edge. After our break up when you left, I was with him. He filled my ears with things like I was not good for you, you always deserved better than me, I could harm you because of my anger, that he was a better man than me for you and much more. And I believed it, and I still do. That's the reason I never tried to connect with you." He finished

"Liam." I said and made him look at me.

"I loved you, I still love you and I will always love you. I am sorry to leave you and everything behind four years ago. I was stupid, angry and I reacted to my emotions. Liam you are not perfect but you perfect for me. I love you and you love me, nothing else should matter. It doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you too." I said with a small smile.

"What about Ian? He was my friend who liked you and I knew it. But I betrayed him and fell for you. Ava, I don't want him to think I betrayed him again." He said with tears and pain in his eyes.  

"Liam, I never loved him and I can't love him ever. And as for the friend's betrayal, you paid the price by staying away from me for four years. Oaky, I will talk to Ian tomorrow. Because it's not your or Ian's decision to make, its mine. And I have made my decision. I will talk to him." I said with a smile and gave him a peak on his lips.
