Skilar giggled and hugged Liam gently. Seeing him again was amazing. It was great to watch him walk through the doorway and smile at Skilar. It felt great. Liam loved watching Skilar’s eyes light up…watching him grin and run up to him. He was precious, and Liam wanted to save that. He swore to himself that as long as he lived, Skilar would never get hurt… He admittedly never really wanted to see Skilar grow up, either...but it had to happen...it was inevitable...but he’d cherish the light for as long as he could... So then Liam could take his little brother’s hand, leading him down the sidewalk to the park where they’d just sit and talk before going home and talking more, over and over again and it’d never get old. But now it wasn’t going to happen again. Ever. Being broken down was a high point. Being absolutely destroyed...was as close to a low as could be described. But it was over. Liam would be stuck staring at the empty couch from the doorway, and then he’d see Skilar’s once open bedroom door, where Liam would read to him and talk to him and comfort him, closed, never to be opened again. He’d be stuck with a tear stained face, alone in a broken-down shack of a house...but every now and again he’d glance out the window. His fists would clench and he’d grit his teeth. His brother won’t come back…yet still...Liam felt like there was some way for him to make things as close to right as they’d get. But… He glanced down at the desk he sat at, one covered in papers, some tear-stained… Would he even want to step outside again…? Maybe. But not today. If only he’d warned Skilar...maybe he’d still be there. If only he had made Skilar smile more instead of coming home with a bleak look and new wounds. If only he had stayed closer to Skilar. If only he’d… Furious with himself, Liam threw something-he doesn’t even remember what, now-at the wall. If only I could just have him back for one more day. Standing up, Liam went into the den, half-expecting to see Skilar sitting on the couch, grinning… But it was empty. >:0 huehuehue im nice
