“Mia, maybe you shouldn’t make decisions right now. You’re angry and I get that, but you love him and he loves you, you know that.”
“Yeah. He loves me alright. Just not enough to keep from breaking my heart.”
Nothing But The Truth
SEBASTIAN
Liam opens the door and when he sees me he looks surprised. Of course he’s surprised, I just decided to go over there without any warning. There are only so many walks you can take in the middle of the night.
“Is everything okay?” he asks right away.
“Fine,” I say, even though nothing is fine.
“Isn’t it a bit late for you to be out?” Liam asks leading me to the den.
We stand in front of the fireplace and he pours me a drink. “Sit.”
“I’m fine.”
“So,” Liam says. “Tell me what you came here to say.”
“You got the new updates from that #HT person?”
“Yes. The ones about Teag
ue. I’m so sorry, Sebastian. This thing looks like it’s getting out of hands.”
“Well, it is. But here’s the thing: Vince called and told me that the cops think there was foul play involved in Bob’s murder.”
“Bob?”
“The guy…Teague injured.”
“Right.”
“So,” I say. “There might be a chance that Teague might not go to prison.”
“Sebastian,” Liam says. “You do realize that you’re talking about the murder of a person? Your friend beat that guy to death. Whether he died from the injuries or not is beside the point. Don’t you realize that he’s a danger? To others and to himself.”
“That wasn’t the response I was expecting.”
“What were you expecting?” Liam says. “That I tell you I’m okay with your friend killing someone? Is that what you wanted to hear?”
“He’s my friend, Liam. I’ve known him—”
“Since you were kids, yes we’ve all heard the story!”
I place the drink glass on the coffee table. “Maybe it was a bad idea coming here,” I say but Liam stops me.
“Wait,” he says. “Look, I’m sorry. Okay? He’s your friend and you know him better than I do. I get it. I shouldn’t be quick to judge him.”
“Liam, I came to you because I thought maybe you could help.”
“I don’t know if I want to get involved in this mess, Sebastian.”
“Mess?” I snap. “You mean my best friend?”
“You sure he’s just a best friend and nothing more?”
