See You Again

CHAPTER 10. Anticipate

-Madison-

I'm currently in the living room facing back and forth as I recall what just happened a while ago. 'Is this the right thing?, Oh god! I hope Liam is okay, am I pushing too far? Is going outside along with Liam a good idea?' I talk to myself. I felt really bad after seeing Liam turn pale, fear flash in his face for a second but quickly mask it with his usual straight face. I was worried if I trigger something that made him froze. I wanted to know what was going on in his mind that's why I ask him if he's okay but he completely went silent again.

I'm just genuinely concern but now I can see that there's more to Liam that I held on. Something must have happened to him and it's not good. Maybe there's a story behind his behavior and why He became blind, or was he born like that or just recently happened? I can't be sure.

With a big sigh I just plant myself in the couch, contemplating if I should let Mrs. Reed know about my current plan, should I ask permission and ask about Liam. But that wouldn't be good on Liam's side, if I wanted to get to know him Liam can tell me himself without violating his personal life.

My thoughts were cut in when I heard a door slam upstairs, Liam must be done eating. I'm surprise that he went down by himself, he hasn't done it before not when the day I stayed here. I check the time and see that it's still early to go out 8:35 am to be exact. If Liam agrees maybe we can go out after 9.

I walk in the kitchen to check on him when I saw him about to get upstairs "Hey Liam, what do you prefer mangoes or strawberries?" "mangoes" he swiftly said, hmm I actually like both I mumble. I didn't notice that he was already on his way up, and when I tried to call him a few times he didn't look back. I guess I'll see him later, I really hope so.

I keep looking at the time and saw that it's now 8:55. Oh no! I forgot to tell him what time. Should I go upstairs and remind him we're leaving in 5 minutes or wait for him here instead. Realizing that I have a slim chance if I waited, at the same time it would be good to give him the chance to decide himself. By that he won't feel like I'm forcing him or something, I don't want him to feel that way. I can wait for him here and maybe He'll come down just like yesterday.

25 minutes have pass it's now 9:20, I let out a long sigh maybe he's not coming down afterall. It's alright we can do it another time I tell myself. I walk my way through the door and was about to reach the knob, when I heard a door slam. Liam! I exclaimed. I quickly turn and run back to the living room to meet him.

And there Liam walking down the stairs a cane in his hand. I can't help the big smile that form in my face. I look at him to see him wearing a black jeans with also a black sweater with white shoes. Wow! He's really handsome I thought, he looks perfect. I was only brought back when I heard him cough. "I'm glad you came down Liam, are you ready?" I ask him cheerfully, and then I saw him nod as response. "Okay, so it's going to be a 3 minutes of walk or more, it's not that far" I pause to watch his reaction but he didn't move on his spot "let's go!".
