Blood

(STARR)

I opened my eyes and Liam was hovering over me.

“Liam?” I said struggling.

“Yes?... its me” he responded with a shaky voice like he was about to cry.

“I’m sorry.... i know i have a lot to explain”

I said feeling a lot of guilt.

“But I promise...” i said then coughed a little blood.

“I have always been watching over you....” I continued not knowing when tears began to roll down my eyes.

“...i never abandoned you”.

Suddenly Liam began to cry too.

“I know....” he said with a squeezed face.

I put my hand on his face and smiled at him and passed out.

.....

(LIAM)

As Starr passed out, her hand fell from my face.

I could tell that she must have gone through a lot and the punches she had just taken must have put a lot of burden on her and was a lot to take in.

I placed her head on the floor slowly and turned slightly to my left to see Diane holding Kayla who had been injured too.

“Are you okay?” I asked genuinely concerned.
