I saw as she left that she looked down and I hoped my plan would come into great use. Tobes arrived twenty minutes later and he hugged me. I coughed and he let go, we were men after all. He held out the tape. A smile broke out on my face, my grams came out of her room and sat down.
"What are you two boys up to?" We looked at each other. Did we tell her? We nodded and understanding to keep the plan out of view for now.
"We were going to watch those fights I missed while I was out, my gracious friend here has captured everyone between Liberty and Mia on tape." I hid my smirk not knowing of my grams views.
"There was more then one?" Tobes shifted. I noticed he was nervous.
"Yah two ladies fought over me right? They are settled now I hope." I let the smirk slide. My grams gave way to a smile.
"Jt." She meant to say it warningly but she just got up and ruffled my hair.
"Don't keep her waiting." She walked into the kitchen.
"Toby are you staying for dinner?" He looked to me and I just shrugged my shoulders. I didn't know how long it would take.
"Sure, Mrs. Clooney." He put the DVD in the player and the title screen came up.
Liberty V.S. Mia, Fight for Jt's heart. Then the screen changed to the two in boxer outfits and Liberty punched Mia out. It faded to the first scene in the lunch room. Tobes voice drowned out.
"The first excitement after Jt was stabbed. It's been a day, He would love this." Mia stood with her hands on her hips and Liberty faced her with her arms crossed. Everyone faced them but none were moving to stop it.
"How could you Liberty, tell my boyfriend that you still love him?" Liberty held a cool front.
"I told him the truth, but between you two there is no truth huh?" Lib's threw a low blow since I hadn't told Mia of the drugs. Mia lashed out for Liberty but she caught her and held her hand as it was to slap her.
"Mia, you shouldn't be fighting me."
"Your right I should be done with you by now." It was an all out cat fight. Mia slapped and scratched at Liberty and Liberty took for grabbing Mia's hair knowing it would get to her if it was messed up. Mia kicked Liberty away then Liberty swung a punch that missed Mia. Mia's hand slapped Liberty's left cheek knocking her glasses askew. Liberty turned to leave but turned quickly and punched Mia. I clapped my hand at every cheap shot Liberty got in with Mia. I hated my self I shouldn't be taking sides and I should be mad at Liberty for fighting but with me being on the brink of death and never being able to tell her I loved her would send her to the way she was. The video continued and it got worse I began to question a lot. But we quickly switched the channel to the Blue Jay's game when the door opened. Liberty walked in looking very disgruntled. She continued walking saying hello to my grams before she went up stairs to her room.
"What was that about?" Toby said.
"No clue should I follow her?" I looked to the stairs.
"Let her cool off then go. Bring a piece offering." I chuckled what piece offering could I bring. We sat back and I talked of my plan to win Liberty back properly because she looked like she needed some wooing. We volleyed ideas before dinner was ready and I went up to Lib's room to get her. I knocked on the door but found no answer, so I cautiously opened the door. She laid on her side facing the window. I thought she was sleeping so I went to the bed and sat on the edge. I gently ran my hand up and down her arm. She wasn't sleeping she was crying.
"Lib, whats wrong?" She was silent but for the sob that every now and then would escape her lips. I got up and went to the other side of the bed and just laid there with her, holding her. It hurt me to see her in pain.
"Lib, talk to me please." I tried reasoning.
"This is all screwed up, I lost my family, but I'm out of my fathers perfection shadow but I can't feel nothing but how much it sucks I never wanted to lose them." I held her tighter. I knew well how that feeling was. It was how I felt right before I overdosed.
"I know it sucks but you got me, I'll be there for you Lib when you need me." She nodded and her crying started to ease.
"You will be there for me I never needed anyone except during the pregnancy." I held her I might not of been there for her then but hell would have to over take me now to not be with her.
"I know." I looked down at her face she was a vision beauty. He chocolate eyes might be masked with red but I knew how they normally look, she has a cute button nose and her dark brown curly hair has wisps in it that just wont lay flat but look cute. The pregnancy did her well it fell in all the right places, he hips were a bit wider but it made her curvier, not to mention her breasts got bigger, but I had to stop my thoughts I wouldn't get in trouble again like I did before because of these thoughts. I was saddened I didn't notice it before now. She looked up at me her head lain on my chest.
"Thank you Jt."
"Your welcome, When your ready come down for dinner." I placed a chaste kiss on her forehead before I slipped from under her and went downstairs. I sat at my usual seat.
"Wheres Liberty, James?"
"She will be down in a minute." I began to dig into the food in front of me only pausing when Liberty sat at the table. I smiled to her and she gave me a weak smile back but I knew soon she would be ok, as long as I kept caring for her. I cleaned up the meal and went into the living room after saying goodbye to Toby. I sat on one end of the couch and grabbed Liberty's hand and pulled her to me. She laid her head on my shoulder. We sat there for a good two hours watching reruns of random shows. I got tired and my grandma went to bed an hour ago. Tomorrow was Saturday and I was going to make the most of it. I turned the TV off and walked Liberty up to her room where I stood at the door. Holding her in my arms.
"Someday it will all be ok Lib's. I will be with you till it is and then so." She looked up at my face, and smiled at me. Her soft hand held my cheek in her palm.
"Thank you, Jt. Your great you know that?" I kissed her forehead and walked and arms length away before I dropped her hand.
"Your welcome, just call me Mr. Wonderful." I gave her a smirk and walked down the stairs to my room where I collapsed into bed. With the visions of my love dancing through my dreams.
