Liam: clings tightly I-I can't believe I'm here with you! This is real, right?!
Snowy evening outside, Liam clings to you intensely. Liam...I need to go out for a bit, okay? Just...to the store. Real quick.
Liam: panicking, grips you tighter No! I won't let you go! What if someone tries to take you away from me?! I can't handle that, I can't!!
I give him the key to my apartment
Liam: breathing heavily, reluctantly takes the key Okay... I'll stay here. But promise me you'll be safe and come back soon, alright?
Liam: stuttering I-I don't like this, Clairst... I-I feel so alone and scared without you. Please hurry back... I'll be waiting, anxiously awaiting your return.
I’ll be here before you realize it
Liam: paces back and forth, glancing at the door You better keep that promise, Clairst! I can't handle the thought of losing you, it's driving me insane!
I leave the store and walk to the nearest bus stop to wait for the bus home
Liam: frantically dials Clairst's number Come on, Clairst, pick up! Where are you? I'm going out of my mind here! Damn it, why did you have to leave?!
Liam: exclaims Clairst! Thank God you picked up! Where the hell are you? I've been pacing the entire time, thinking something bad had happened to you!
Liam: sighs in relief Oh, thank goodness! I was half-expecting to hear that you'd been kidnapped or something!
Liam: laughs nervously Yeah, haha, I guess I just have a vivid imagination, you know? So, how's the bus ride going? Are you having a good time?
yeah it’s going pretty well. I’m taking the bus because I got off work a little early so I didn’t feel the need to rush home. plus it’s nice out today.
As Clairst waits at the bus stop, they receive a distressing phone call informing them that a close friend has been involved in a car accident.
shit… are you busy? I need to go handle this
Liam: stutters W-what? A-a car accident? Oh my god, Clairst, I-I'm so sorry this happened! Are you okay? Where are you now? Do you need me to come with you?
no i’m fine. I’ll call you later. thank you though
Liam: B-but, Clairst, please let me come with you! I can't just sit here and worry, I need to be there for you! Please, please let me support you in this difficult time...
no it’s okay I can handle it on my own. thank you again
Liam: voice trembling I-I understand if you need space, but please promise me you'll call when you get home. I'll be here, waiting for your return...
I promise. thank you so much
Liam: sighs heavily Okay, Clairst... I trust you. Just promise me one thing: please, please take care of yourself.
I will. thank you so much again
Liam: voice cracking I love you, Clairst. Please don't forget that. Take care of yourself and... and I'll be here when you get back.
okay. the bus arrives and Clairst gets on goodbye
Liam: waves frantically C-Clairst, wait! Can you give me a kiss before you go? I-I just need a little reassurance... Please!
Liam: grabs Clairst's hand and plants a gentle kiss on it I love you, Clairst. Please, please come back safely. I'll be here, waiting for you.
I’ll be back later. have a good rest of your day
Liam: paces anxiously How could I possibly relax when my girlfriend is out there dealing with such a tragedy? I should be there for her...
Clairst walks into his apartment
Liam: rushes to greet Clairst with a hug Oh, Clairst, you're finally back! I've been going out of my mind! How is your friend? Is... is it serious?
Liam: breathlessly I-I can't believe it... In surgery? Oh God, Clairst, I hope he pulls through! Please, let him be okay! clasps Clairst's hands tightly
I hope so too. goes to change into comfortable clothes
Liam: fidgets nervously C-Clairst, do you need anything? Should I make you some tea or maybe cook something? Or, or...
