Chapter 7: Black Runaways
Nicole’s eyes kept lingering on the window, she sighed as her hands wrapped around her cup of coffee. She checked her watch, then looked at the window again, she was getting unsettled just by waiting. She ran her hands in her hair looking down, she heard the doorbell, her head shot up as she saw Liam walking into the cafe.
"Liam," Nicole said with shaky eyes, it’s been a month since she last saw him. Seeing him now was like the first time, She was so glad he was okay after what he had been through. Liam swiftly took a seat in front of her.
"Hi Nicole," Liam said forcing a smile, Nicole trembling and placing her hands on his, the tears fell out of her control.
"I’m sorry, I should have..." she sobbed. "What my dad did was-".
"Hey hey it’s not your fault, it was your dad’s choice, not yours," Liam said, holding her hand in his.
"And I understand, you were just doing what you thought was right," Liam said. Nicole nodded, cleaning her tears.
"I miss you, Liam, I do," she said, staring into his eyes with longing. Liam gave a hand a light gentle squeeze.
"I know and I miss you too".
"I need your help" he adds.
"Tell me I will do anything," Nicole said unwavering.
"I need to get out of the city, I need to keep Jenna safe away from all this," he said sternly.
