“Liam, wait,” I said as a single tear streamed down my face. There was no use in me saying it again as the door slammed behind him.

My heart shattered in a million pieces. It wasn’t only breaking for me but for Liam. Not only had I hurt him, but he’d lost his mother. As much as I wanted to be there for him, I realized I was probably the last person he wanted to see right now. I cried as I rushed over and picked up my phone. I wanted to tell Liam that I loved him and couldn’t imagine my life without him. After three calls went straight to voicemail, I knew he had turned off his phone. Instead of trying his number a fourth time, I called Syre.

“He already called me, D. You good for a minute? I’m sending somebody over as soon as possible.”

“I’m good. I just feel so bad for him. I tried to call, but he’s not answering.”

“I know you can relate to his pain, Divine. Just give the man some space.”

I hung up the phone without responding. I knew Syre meant well, but he had no idea what was going on. I felt like everything was bad right now. The only person in the world that truly got me had just walked out the door with bigger issues than me being afraid to accept that we were in love.

I fell into bed, knowing the only thing I could do was try to be there for Liam. That was if he even let me do that at this point. He said he was going home, and it was crazy that I didn’t even know where the hell that was. How could I be there for him when I didn’t even know where to go?

Me:

Whenever you’re ready, I’m here.

My heart shattered seeing my message to Liam turn green. Did he block my number? Had I just lost the best thing that ever happened to me? Something told me things would never be the same.
