“Are you saying that you are not able to be in a relationship with only one girl and that you are sorry, but we cannot be nothing more than friends?” I make a sad face. I am not sad because I felt this too. That we are not meant to be together or some shit. Zac looks at my face and it suddenly become white.
“I am really sorry, please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.” He rushes to answer but I burst laughing. “Are you playing me now?”
“OMG, I should take a picture of you horrified face,” I laugh even harder and he punches my arm softly. “Okay, okay, I am sorry. I know that we are not meant to be together. I actually wanted to speak with you about it too. Don’t get me wrong, you were amazing, like, are you practising this move of your tongue? Like, seriously, what you have done then, it was amazing, but I knew that you are not a commitment type of guy and as for me, it was nice, but I am not a commitment type of girl either.” I explain. He let out a breath of relief.
“Oh, God. That’s awesome! I mean, I have some types of feelings for you, but they are not romantic. When I am looking at you, I feel some kind of bond, like really strong and anything I want to do is to protect you. I know it’s stupid.”
“It’s not, because I feel the same about you. I feel safe when you are next to me.”
“Are you saying that from now we are going to be the best friends or some shit? Are we going to have the same bracelets or something?”
“I would really like that, the first par, I mean but no bracelets.” I smile at him and he returns a smile.
“Maybe we could repeat the other night? Just for fun you know, your body is so hot, I would really like a taste again. We could be friends with benefits type of thing.”
“Don’t cross the line. We are friends and that’s it.” I kiss him on the cheek. He takes my hand and leads me to school. “Are we going to have problems because we skipped the first period?”
“No, chill. I have it covered.” He smirks at me and I know that he is the best thing that happened to me after my arrival here.
Chapter 14
We come back to school. The corridors are empty as we cross them. Zac takes my hand in his and I look at him with a smile.
“I wouldn’t touch her if I was you” Tyler’s voice echoes. Shit. I forgot about this little fight between him and Liam. I turn around to look at him and my smile disappears. Ty has a black eye and split lip. This didn’t go well, I see. I run to him and touch his bottom lip. He hisses.
“It isn’t that bad, love. You haven’t seen the other guy.” Ty smirks at me and I automatically start to wonder where Liam is and how he feels. My face probably changes to a wonder- face because Ty eyes me suspiciously. “I see that you care more about this second.” He shoves my hands away.
“Don’t be ridiculous. I am concerned because you may have problems now. What the hell happened?” I reply.
“Nothing happened. This wanker talks too much and he was rude to you, and I won’t let anyone treat you like that.” It’s nice to have someone behind my backs but this unsure feeling is following me. I don’t think that Liam wanted to humiliate me. He said something about our father and my birthday. He wanted to warn me about something. I don’t know what to think. Why Ty stopped him; why didn’t he let him finish? Does he know something and doesn’t want to share? Is suspicious but I can’t let him know that I care. Actually, I feel like I cannot trust Ty anymore.
“Thank you,” I smile at him and he returns it. “We can go home now if you want. I don’t feel very well actually.”
“I need to stay here and wait for our father to arrive. This prick is in headmaster office now and I will be next. We can go after that.”
“That’s alright. I will see you home. I have a car and you can come back with father.” I turn to leave. I march through the hallway and when I know for sure that no one can see me, I remove my phone from my pocket and type a quick message.
Emlyn: Meet me at the suicide spot in 15. Be alone, we need to talk.
The response comes straight away.
Liam: Will be there.
I run to my car and soon enough I am driving through the city.

I wait for Liam with anticipation. It’s been five minutes already. Where the hell he is? As soon as the thought crosses my mind, the doors to the roof opens. Liam steps in and as soon as my eyes land on him my breath catches. He also has a swollen eye and split lip; it looks like the fight was equally won by them. But the problem is, why would they fight? Liam spots me and I wave at him.
“You look horrible,” I state. He sits next to me and looks in my eyes.
“What do you want Morpho?”
“Explanation is all I need.”
“I don’t have that for you, I’m sorry.” He rushes and begins to stand up. I put my hand on his shoulder to stop him.
“Don’t play with me. I know that you know something about me, about my father. I want to know, please, if it’s important just tell
