“That’s not true and you know it. I just think we’re rushing things too fast,” I state again.
“We aren’t rushing things. We’ve know each other our entire lives Hails. What are you so afraid of?” he asks, piercing me with those beautiful blue eyes.
“I’m not afraid; I just want to trust you.”
“You can,” he shouts.
“No, I can’t.”
“Then I guess I have my answer,” he says looking hurt.
“Your answer?” I ask confused.
“You aren’t marrying me tomorrow and we aren’t working things out.”
“No, I’m not marrying you tomorrow and I think if we just take a break, then we can see how things go.”
“Haley, I’m about to fucking leave for football, you’ll have all the fucking time in the world. I just won’t be around when you decide to change your mind.”
“What? I don’t need to change my mind.”
“Yes you do. If you don’t trust me now, you’ll never trust me. I’m not going to waste my time trying to prove my love to you, you should already know.”
“I do know you love me. I love you too.”
“It’s just not enough then,” he says looking upset.
“I just think we need some time Liam,” I say softly.
“Here,” he says as he hands me keys, “It’s to the house, it’s yours to do with as you wish.”
“Liam,” I say as he takes a step back, “It’s our house.”
“No, it’s not. You made your decision, now I’m making mine,” he leans in and gives me a kiss on the forehead, “Goodbye Haley,” he says before walking out the door.
“Liam wait,” I yell, but he doesn’t stop. I run outside and around the house to watch as Liam gets into his mustang; he pulls out, never looking in my direction. I yell, but he continues to ignore me. I can’t help when the first tear falls. What the hell have I just done?
