I flip the light on in my room and choke back a scream No one should be inonlike he’s been to hell and back “What the hell are you doing here?”

Liam stares at his hands and whispers, “I broke up with Corah”

“You did what?" I look behindLiam is here, so I close the door No ood, but if I can keep Asher fro, maybe I won't have to tell him about it "Liam, you can’t”

“She lied to me” He looks up at nant She used her cousin's ultrasound because she was scared I was going to leave her" He pauses and shakes his head "She lied to me, Lainey"

“Holy crap” I sit on the bed and pull Lia ers through Lia to life They don't The only thing I' is sorrow, because as happy as I am to hear that Liam won't be a father, I'h so like this “I’m so sorry Are you okay?”

He shakes his head and looks up at me “She only came clean because she knew I’d eventually leave her For you”

“Liam…” I drop my arms to my slides and scoot back an inch If he would have coo, before I found out about the alht have felt differently I cared for hiht I was in love Now, I look at Liam and realize I do love him, but I'm not in love with him

“I never would have stayed with Corah if it wasn’t for the baby I was going to take you to proers, still shocked there's no zing of electricity I tuck aze again "It was always supposed to be you and me, Lainey What happened to us?”

"You hurtmyself The wounds in otten for someone else burst open All the pain I've locked away hitswith other people behind my back"

"We weren’t exclusive You kneith other girls"

I shake ates break loose "I knew you were doing stuff with those girls, but I didn't know you were doing that"

Liam snorts and leans back onto his hands "What did you think I was doing with the movies? I only did that kind of shit with you, Lainey"

"

I don’t know" I stand and pace across the room to my desk That picture of Liao back to that day, to when he was s are different I'ht about it, but none of that matters" I turn to Lia me to? Probably not "We never used a condoirls did you do that with?”

"None," he insists, standing and crossing the room He touches my elbow and looks me in the eye "Only you"
