Liam woke up, sat up, and looked at the wall in a daze. 'Reality is brutal,' he thought. He dreamt of Null being awake and in his arms once again. He covered his face and slapped his cheeks repeatedly.
'Wake up!' he thought, slapping himself till his cheeks reddened. He slumped out of bed. He freshened himself up and went to Null's room.
When he didn't see him there, his heart quickened and was filled with hope. He ran around the house, but he didn't find him anywhere. His heart dropped. 'Did something happen while I was asleep?' he thought, fearing the worst.
He heard the door open and close and saw June pushing Null in a wheelchair.
"Oh, you're up already," June said, but Liam wasn't listening to her.
His eyes were on Null. "Li--" Before Null could speak, Liam ran to him and hugged him, he felt so emotional, that he began to cry; the tears fell uncontrollably.
He couldn't help himself.
