It was a nice afternoon and everyone was enjoying Liam's welcome home party, except Liam. He was quiet which was unusual for him and Elektra had noticed this. Liam decided to go to his room which had completely changed and he didn't feel happy at all.
Elektra followed him up slowly, trying not to make it so obvious to the other children. She knocked on his door and went into Liam's room.
"What's up with you, you're very quiet". Elektra asked
Liam replied "careful Elektra, it actually sounds like you care".
"I do care, I mean just because we are enemies doesn't mean we shouldn't ask about each other", she replied
"Well, I really thought that I and my brother would be forever you know, but him and his girlfriend are having a baby together so we started to have arguments and I started to feel left out, like I'm not part of them. Anyways this always happens to us dumping ground kids, so I don't know why I'm surprised. I'm used to being disappointed all the time".
Liam finished talking and for once Elektra actually felt sorry for him. She thought about how lucky he was to get away from the dumping ground but got dumped back in it again.
Liam turned around to face, as he saw her lying on his bed. They looked at each other saying nothing but felt like they could read each other's minds.
Elektra could see Liam's eyes welling up but he tried so hard not to show it. Without thinking she got up and walked over to him. She tiptoed and put her arms around his shoulders. She didn't care about what she was doing, in fact she didn't even realise. She knew he needed a hug. He stood there shocked that Elektra was actually hugging him; I mean they don't even like each other. They were enemies. He stood for a second and then automatically his hands slid across to her waist. He tightened his grip on her so she got pulled into him more with their hearts against each other, hearing their heartbeats. They both stood there in each other's embrace not wanting to let go. Eventually Elektra let go and went to her room.
They both felt a spark between them but didn't know what it meant. They both realised that they could be friends now and started to get along a lot more. They had fun times together and hadn't realised that they enjoyed each other's company. They hung out at the park together, watched favourite TV programmes together and played football in the garden on the same team against the other DG kids. They hadn't realised but Faith and Rick realised that there are strong feelings between Liam and Elektra, and they just needed a little push to get them to admit it to each other.
