Melancholy

Chapter 18

"It's him" she softly whispered together with her pounding heart.

Suddenly a student burst upon her from down stairs as they turn. She quickly recognized the students and asked if ivory already gone home but they answered no, and didn't saw her after school. She got worried after she remembered those eyes looked like he did done something bad and he's annoying her for it.

Until she saw Liam running towards her from down stairs.

He looks exhausted as he held her both shoulder. Her breath was too short and fast, he sweats and feels weak. She got scared and confused but she hide it as long as she don't know the truth. But what changed her mind and feeling was that point when Liam asked something in the way so slow.

"Is she allowed to have a boyfriend"

She was dull brained bereft looking at him for a few minutes.

"Wh~who do you mean?" She confusedly asked.

"Your sister, apt"

"You want to court her or someone else?"

"of course me, literally"

"I don't knowbut my dad didn't mention any about boyfriend or something like courtship, but I think I like you to be with her, just make sure you won't ruin her life"

Liam promised he won't, setting like at his part, he didn't hesitate to tell Quinn but he's shy to tell ivory he likes her, though, at the other part he may be the honest to accompany with and so as kind.

Suddenly, Quinn asked h where was ivory and so he answered she's at his car and he's willing to brought them home with Atlas. All worried and sadness of Quinn disappeared after she talk to. Who walking he was so active to tell her s story about him and Ivory and he was like...

"Since then, I liked her, much but I don't know if she likes me back but, I don't know maybe, I'm just afraid someday if itell her I like her maybe she will ignore me and also stay away. That's why I'm hesitant to tell her about but back then, why I'm scared was, I wasn't like other guys who's so cool like atlas and I was jealous about it knowing maybe I don't have that chance"

And it's how Quinn realized, there's branch of events that can be happen anytime you will decide something, although it's small or big, there was always two ways. Like at his scenario, he will court her without knowing if she likes her back or no and if not there's also two querry to aslt whether, will she ignore and stay away or they will be friends after all. But you won't know if you didn't tried. You won't see if you didn't open your eyes, that thing about this world was insane, don't just push yourself on to something that you can't fit. Sometimes challenges needs to enter and accept wether you win or lose, the most important about it was, you played the game and you earned lessons.

She explained how it is painful to be left with just dull brained though, the good part of it was at least he knew that she was not for her and didn't have to push his self to fit on to something that he can't. Thinking there was surely other girls who wanted him than her sister, but to not let him down she gave him a great moviation by saying, her sister always talks about him and everything was positive. She did never been heard something about bad things about him though she also wanna know. That's why he answers and say all people have done wrong, and did something bad, so as him and so he's saying he did lie sometimes to her mom and many other people.

Despite all the talks they where now near at the parking lot of the school, Liam grabbed her hand to stop her from walking towards them and slightly glanced.

"Okay, so I'm nervous right now and I can say maybe I can confess at the car" Liam said with his shrugged posture.

"Maybe? You must make sure so you won't be blocked" she replied with a good mood as well to cheer him up with the most beautiful smile she'd ever had that day.

They walked towards them and so she joyfully ran through ivory and hugged her tight. Suddenly, Ivory made her ask something she can't hesitate to answer.

"What made you cry?" She was shocked to found out that she noticed her eyes.

"My sister would always know"

"Then tell me"

" My teacher command me to come with her and discuss about my awards being with honor since then, then she suddenly asked where is mom and so I answered very well and say my mom passed away"

All of them suddenly stopped for a while and gulped, while Ivory smiled and say something.

"Well baby I could be your mom and sister as well" a tear began to ran down at Quinn's eyes once again that made her hug her big sister so tight.

"That was my sister" she whispered and started to move again.

Liam tapped Atlas's shoulder suddenly without them noticing, he looked at the sky and told him to let Ivory sit at the passenger side and so Atlas began to smirk thinking he know what he would do.

"Hey Ivory wanna sit at passenger side?" Atlas yelled at her gently.

"Well sure" she agreed with a smile and emerge.

They all ride in the car so Liam started to get on the way.

A harlf of the way they where in Liam noticed that Ivory was looking very tired with a dazzling ray that alight on her beautiful face that's why he reached the sun shield as Ivory noticed him and say thank you. Quinn and Atlas looked at each other's eyes looking like they are having fun from it and so Quinn get on her phone and texted him.

"Say it" as what her text goes.

He barely looked at it and smiled, and Ivory noticed it once again, reason for her to ask why and so as Liam answered it was nothing and start driving again.

"I have a question" Liam abruptly spoke

And so ivory asked what is it looking at him.

"Do you mind if I want to court someone and I need your help?"

"she's so lucky, tell me who is she" Ivory looked away looking like slightly disappointed.

Liam turned his car at the side and stopped it for a while as Ivory started to look at him once again and now she's looking so questionable. He removed his seat belt and turned his body towards her.

"You" he abruptly spoke once again and now Ivory was still questionable without knowing what was happening. Them from the back seat chuckled silently holding their excitement inside their tickling feeling.

"W-what do you mean?" She asked and started to get tremble

" Arg~ never mind" he turned his self back and wore his seat belt, started to drive again.

"Liam" Quinn and Atlas conjointly yelled at the same time.

"What?" He stopped once again and looked at them smiling and without skipping a beat they told him to tell her conjointly. He laughed and say "here I go" and took off his seat belt.

" I like you" she spoke with a serious face looking so straight at her, his eyes looks like so inlove but his not expecting that she will answer him now.
