This is going to be short! Sorry! By the way, it's pretty rushed too. I didn't have much time to write this!
P.S Italic paragraph is a flashback/memory.
P.P.S, Edited after Rain on my Windows cleverly pointed out a fatal mistake! Thank-you for doing so! And thanks for dropping a review! :)
LIAM'S P.O.V
Why was he even here? How could he persuade her to come back to Elmtree? That question had resurfaced in his mind again, and seemed to fill his mind continuously.
He'd got off the stop after he'd seen Astra – only 5 miles away – and walked back, eager to find her. Maybe he could've talked some sense into her.
Of course, after the realisation that his friend Astra never actually existed, that she was a façade, he felt pained, double-crossed, cheated. But that didn't mean he wouldn't go and find her. Dozens of care kids Liam knew had ran away – they ran away all the time. He hadn't run after them, or chased them at least halfway across the country. So why did he bother with Astra? Why didn't he just turn and go home? He knew the answer, but he was too afraid to admit it.
"We're finished, Elektra." Liam told the smiling girl on the sofa, who had been pretending to flick through one of Carmen's girly-gossip magazines.
Immediately, the smile fell from her lips, her eyes widened and her face paled "Wait... what?"
"We're finished," Liam repeated, his tone flat, emotionless.
"What do you mean 'We're finished'?" She asked, her voice wavering dangerously. Her face crinkled up in pain "What did I do wrong?" She sounded so unlike Elektra, so vulnerable, so useless.
"Nothing. I just don't love you," He stated "I never did."
Elektra took a few moments to register this information, then she scowled darkly, getting to her feet "Astra set you up to this! That little bitch!"
"She's got nothing to do with it, Elektra!" Liam snapped defensively "I. Don't. Love. You! End of!"
"I can't believe this!" Elektra laughed sarcastically "You're replacing me with her?"
Liam didn't say anything. Instead, he turned towards the door.
"Just admit it, Liam," Elektra's voice was shaky again, unsteady "You love her."
Liam didn't say anything for a few moments. Instead, he sucked in a lungful of air.
Finally, in a voice as shaky as Elektra's, he replied "I do."
