She jumped a bit, the foreign growl emerging from Liam’s mouth. He was usually very quiet, she hearing this sound coming from him, it was both surprising and quite terrifying. But he was responding to her fear, the fear she felt because of her blood status. He would never have to worry about that unless the killers went after blood traitors as well. Even the thought of him being hurt or killed, like Ethan, had been hurt, made her heart skip a beat. She swallowed, but then her eyes widened a bit as he said he would never let anything happen to her, though he quickly clarified that he wouldn’t see another friend turn out like Ethan. She nodded her head, a flutter of a smile appearing on her face, “That means a lot, Liam. It’s good to know that we have a friend like you,” she said truthfully, referring to both herself and Ethan.

Liam noticed her jump when he growled. He couldn't help it! He might not be the most observant person (though he was pretty observant), but when it came to Tamara Finch, Liam couldn't help but notice everything that he could about her. He always noticed more than he wanted to. The way her eyes glittered when she was happy, how her hair shone in the sunlight, how in love she looked when she and Ethan were together. Yeah, he noticed too much when it came to her. He offered a ghost of a smile in return to her words and nodded his head. He wanted to speak, to say something, but his throat was tight and he couldn't force words through it. "We". She and Ethan, of course. He looked down to Ethan, inwardly wishing for his friend to open his eyes so Liam wouldn't do something incredibly stupid. The silence was stretching between him and Tamara and he knew it was his fault, but he didn't know what to say to her. Couldn't think of a single topic or phrase, not even a word. He took deep breaths, trying to force his body to calm down.

After the whole growing and jumping fiasco, the brunette witch moved to throw her hair back in the messy bun. Her fingers run through long strands of curly brunette hair as she pulled it back and twirled it around her finger, using her teeth to remove the elastic band from around her wrist and place it in her fingers so she could finish her hair. Once completed, she let her hands drop, a strand of rebellious hair falling in front of her face, resulting in the girl letting out a puff of hair before tucking it behind her ear. She realized then that the silence had continued after she had said her word, and quickly she met his eyes once more, watching as he took deep breaths. She frowned deeply, “Liam—are you okay?” she questioned softly, her words like silk as they slipped from her lips. She felt like her attention should be more on Ethan, but something was keeping her attention routed on his best friend. A flutter of emotions, eyes wandering to drink in his features.

He tried not to look back up to Tamara when she moved and started doing something with her hair. Tried and failed. He liked looking at her hair, creepy as that sounded. He thought it was beautiful and just perfect for her and ... no. He couldn't watch her right now. He tried to focus on Ethan's face in front of him, tried to keep his thoughts on his best friend, but in his periphery he was watching her. Almost the moment she finished putting her hair in a bun, he glanced over at her and their eyes met. Again. His heart started racing and Liam clenched his fists, glad they were out of her line of sight, since she was sitting on the other side of Ethan. She said his name and a shiver ran up his spine. She was asking about him, asking if he was okay and he suddenly wanted to tell her everything. WHAT?! He couldn't do that! He couldn't betray his best friend like that, wouldn't. He nodded his head tersely, trying to gain control of himself. "Fine," he grumbled, not meeting her eyes. Then he made the mistake of looking up at her again and his heart seemed to melt. "Tamara." He only said her name, but all his feelings came out in that one word. Longing, hope, despair. He wasn't sure if she'd catch any of it, but apparently he'd lost control for a moment. He schooled his expression back to something that he hoped was his normal expression. "Please don't have noticed," his thoughts were pleading, hoping that she didn't read his feelings for her in that one word, her name. Tamara

The air felt thick, almost as if there was tension between them, she probably could have cut it with a knife if she wanted to. The way he told her he was fine, gave every indication that something was obviously wrong, but yet she was so foolish not to notice. Ever since she and Ethan started dating, she felt like something between herself and Liam had changed, as if things weren’t as they always were. She was so naïve to the reality of it all, even now she didn’t notice the way he was reacting to her, her presence, her words, her everything. She was too busy with her thoughts, her fears, and realizations that she hadn’t put everything together. But then he said her name, his words almost foreign to her as she looked at him. There was something about his eyes; she could tell he was in pain, but what from? Was there something that he wasn’t telling her, something he was holding to himself. She bit her lips, “You—you don’t seem fine,” she breathed out, stumbling over her own words as if she were unable to speak. “You know you can tell me anything, right?” she asked, her eyes begging him to tell her whatever was on his mind.

Liam knew he needed to stop. He was making things complicated between them, and complications were never good. He figured she could probably sense the tension emanating from him, but how was he supposed to stop that?! He was in love with her, with a girl he'd hardly ever spoken to. He'd loved her for years and never said a word. Now she was dating his best friend and the idea of him telling her the truth was wrong. He didn't want to ruin their friendship and he definitely didn't want to put strain on his relationship with Ethan either. He wouldn't do it. She said that he didn't seem fine and he huffed, still not looking at her. He couldn't. She could tell that something was wrong, but that didn't mean he had to let her know what was wrong. He wouldn't do it. She said he could tell her anything and Liam shook his head. "I can't, trust me. Y-you don't want to know this and it's," he broke off for a second, "It's not important anyway." Lies. Tamara was important. She was the most important thing to him, but she loved Ethan. That's why he wouldn't do anything about his feelings. He already knew who she cared for and it wasn't him.

This entire interaction with Liam was growing more and more awkward. The tension thicker than ever as they spoke and acted around each other. Tamara knew something was wrong, something more than worrying about Ethan, and she couldn’t put her finger on it. Was she this blind that she couldn’t read the emotions that displayed itself on Liam’s face and in his eyes? She was never good at reading him, mostly because he kept to himself and was more of an introvert than she ever experienced. It was times like these that she wished she could read thoughts or emotions, but then again, she’d probably go insane with that type of power. He was acting strange around her as if he couldn’t look at her because of something. What was there? What lied in the darkness that seemed to affect him. Did he blame her for Ethan’s attack? No, he couldn’t—they were friends. Or maybe he was jealous that she and Ethan spent more time together, that she was stealing his best friend away. But she didn’t feel that was the case, all three of them spent time together, and even Dom got in on the hangouts they had. So, what was it, so that made it feel like Liam was acting differently around her. He told her he couldn’t tell her, that she had to trust him on that fact, and that he believed that she didn’t want to know what it was and that it wasn’t important. “I do trust you, Liam, but…don’t think for a second I don’t want to know what is wrong with you. You are my friend, and I worry about you. I can take it—whatever it is. I’m not a damsel in distress; I can take care of myself…” she breathed out as she looked at him. She sounded like she was trying to convince herself, or maybe even her sister, that she could take care of herself. But she didn’t appreciate that Liam was trying to do what he thought was best for her, assuming that she didn’t want to know what plagued his mind.

This was just going from bad to worse, and Liam knew he was entirely to blame for this. The tension in the room was because he couldn't control himself. The awkwardness and everything. Why was he such an idiot? He couldn't seem to control it, which made him even more annoyed at himself. Then she was arguing, saying that she did trust him, but that she wanted to know what he wasn't telling her. As she continued to insist that she could handle it, Liam felt heat rise to his face. He couldn't do this. He couldn't argue with the woman he loved, about the fact that he wouldn't tell her he was in love with her while she was dating someone else. He shook his head, his eyes widening slightly at her words. No. He couldn't talk about this. He wouldn't. "I- I know, b-but-" Crap. Why was he stuttering like this? "N-no, I'm not going- I'm not- c-can't- it'll m-mess with- ugh!" He gave up. He couldn't do this. Liam rose to his feet, gave her a short wave and turned around to leave. He couldn't stay here with her, not even for Ethan. He was losing control and he didn't want her to think he was more of a freak than she probably already thought, watching him right now.

‘I- I know, b-but- N-no, I'm not going- I'm not- c-can't- it'll m-mess with- ugh!’The words left his lips in a stutter and left Tamara with wide eyes and agape mouth as he stood to his full height. Giving a small wave in her direction, he moved to leave the room, but Tamara wasn’t about to let that happen. Quickly she rose to her own feet, walking around the bed that Ethan slept in, and lurched forward, grabbing his arm to stop him. Her fingers delicately went around his arm, the feeling of his muscles beneath his shirt making her hand warm. “Hey—I—I’m sorry, we don’t—we don’t have to talk about it…I’m sorry for pressuring you,” she breathed out as she moved around him and stood before him. “Please—please stay,” she said as she looked up at him, their eyes locking for a brief second. She breathed in, taking in the scent of him, the way his eyes glowed before her. She felt lost for a second, “For me…” she breathed out.

Liam didn't expect Tamara to stop him, especially by taking hold of his arm. He was so lost in his own mind that he didn't even hear her rise to her feet. Then she was touching him and he froze as his heart started racing and goosebumps covered his arms. Good thing he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. She apologized, saying she was sorry and that they didn't have to talk about it and he couldn't look back at her. He stared straight ahead, but she messed with his plans again when she moved to stand in front of him, asking him to please stay. Liam's eyes stared into hers when she looked up at him and he lost his self-control. "I would ... do anything for you Tamara," he admitted. Finally. There it was. He said it. Maybe Tamara wouldn't understand how important that confession was to him, but Liam felt like he just crossed some major hurtle. He lifted his free hand to tuck a lock of her hair behind her ear, then realized what he was doing. He jerked his hand back, tearing his eyes away from hers." Sorry," he grumbled. He was probably confusing her, but he couldn't help it. He loved her, but he couldn't tell her that, even if he was starting to show it. He needed to back off. Yet, he couldn't seem to force himself to walk away right now. What was going on with him?

‘I would…do anything for you Tamara,’His words almost stole the air from her lungs as he admitted whatever he was feeling towards her. He would do anything for her, but the way he made it sound was more than in a way friends would look out for her. Her lips stayed together, her eyes glowing in the light, and she felt a pull within her. Something about this moment was different, different from what she felt for a while now. She remembered it well from when she first began seeing Ethan, but this time, it felt different. His hand jerked away, his eyes straying from her own and she felt a loss fill her. She shook her head, but instead of telling him not to apologize she found herself leaning forward. And she did the one forbidden thing, the thing that felt so right in that moment… she kissed him.

She wasn't saying anything and Liam started berating himself internally. How could he be such an idiot? She was dating his best friend, cared about Ethan, who was lying only feet away and here Liam was, all but admitting his feelings for the beautiful girl standing beside him. He wasn't looking at her, but as the silence continued, he couldn't help himself. He glanced back toward her, just in time to see her leaning close to him. Then her lips were on his and Liam froze. She was kissing him? This couldn't really be happening, it just couldn't. It only took a moment for him to unfreeze, his hands wrapping around her waist to pull her closer as he kissed her back. He knew he shouldn't, but he wasn't listening to his brain anymore. He'd loved her for so long and she was finally there, in his arms. He kissed her the way he'd always wished he could, then pulled away slowly, resting his forehead on hers. "Tamara," he whispered as his stomach started writhing with guilt. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-" shouldn't have what? Kissed her back? Shown her how strong his feelings for her were? Started this whole thing? He closed his eyes and released her waist, taking a step away before he looked at her again. He should leave, or go back to Ethan's bedside- heck, he'd messed things up now- but he couldn't tear his eyes away from hers. What was she thinking?

The minute she felt him kiss back, her heart feel hollow. Was this the right thing to do when her current boyfriend laid in the hospital bed a few steps away from them? No, it wasn’t. She shouldn’t be doing this, shouldn’t be feeling this way. Why did something so wrong feel so right? He kissed her back, their lips fitting like puzzle pieces as they moved in sync with each other. And than, he pulled away and she felt the air leave her lips. His forehead rested against her own, and slowly her eyes fluttered open to meet his own. She shook her head as he began to apologize, “Don’t…I—it was my fault. I shouldn’t—I shouldn’t have done that.” she shook her head, eyes filling with unleashed tears. “That—that shouldn’t have happened. It…it can’t happen again…” But oh did she want it to happen again, kissing Liam was like kissing Ethan the first time. She remembered when it had happened, he had named a star after her and taken her to see it. The kiss was beautiful and now it seemed the passion was fading. But in that kiss, the one she shared with Liam, the intensity was there. She shook her head, feeling him step back from her and unleash her waist from his grasp. Instantly she felt cold but didn’t say anything to him. “I—I think I should go,” she breathed out, quickly tearing her gaze from Liam’s hues as she skirted around him. Walking towards the exit, she stopped for a quick second to say something. Turning back she spoke, “If he wakes up, tell him I was here, but I had to leave for another class,” and then she was gone.
@liam Le end for Tamara
