Chapter 4 - Him...His name....and Why he matters....

Well...Who is he? His name is Liam, but the real question is why am I hung up on him? And it's because he was my best friend. When we were 2 years old. My older sister was a cheerleader and his dad was the coach of the football team. Me and Liam used to play in the meadow right by the bleachers at the Football field. He used to put flowers in my hair. Then we turned six. We had to go to school. So, soon he faded from my life. When I didn't even know the freckled boy with curly black hair and sweetest smile's name.

When I was 8, I got into Theater programs. I was 10 when I met this guy when I did the play Winnie the Pooh the musical. He reminded me of him. His name was Liam but do note that I forgot his name. His hair was still curly black and he still had freckles. He was still super cute but taller. He was taller than me by now but that wasn't saying much.

I remember me, him, and Zack Attack became best friends on the first day. He and Zack were so cool and it was great becoming friends with them. Me and Liam were laughing and smiling on our way out when we saw our parents.

"Haha. Oh my is this Liam?!" My father asked.

"Yeah. Wow Ella your so big." Mrs.Wilson said. We both looked at each toher confused. Do you remember Ella she and you used to play in the meadow."

"YOU!" We said in unison.

That got us closer. WAY closer. I got the role of Piglet and he was the role of Roo.

Then it was last performance before.... Our theatre was right next to a park….That night before we had our last performance I was in my dressing room when Zack called me.

"Ella Liam asked you to meet him in the park." He said.

"O-Okay." I finished up my lipstick and put on my pig ears. I was wondering what it was so of course I snuck out I mean we had 30 minutes till curtain call anyways. I was in my pink dress for my costume and it was dark out the sky was beautiful full of stars. Then in the middle of the dark field it was Liam in his brown suit for his costume. I made my way to the middle of the field. Somehow he had a boombox and I smiled. He played the song Can I have this dance just like in high school musical.

"May I have this Dance?" he asked with a smirk and held his hand out for me.

"Of course." I smild and we danced to it under the moonlight... One of the best nights of my life...At the end of the dance he smiled and I hugged him.

"Thank you..." I whispered. He started to cry. "What was wrong..."

"It's going to be the last time I ever see you....for a while..." I pulled away and placed my forehead against his and wiped his tears….He held me tightly.

"Don't cry....I promise...no matter what I will find you and we will be together...." I said. He started to lean in....I felt his breathe against my face...as we leaned closer it's like I could almost feel his lips....He held me tighter....I was ready....and if I'm being honest....I wanted to....but Zack appeared ruining our moment.....

"The directors want us to go through a run through!" He yelled. We ran in holding hands...I wiped all his tears away before we went inside. After the play I was checking my hair before the last picture with the group.

"Ella...." He knocked.

"Come in!" He walked in and gave me a huge hug. "Liam I-"

"I want you to know no matter what happens...I love you....forever...." I was gonna say something back then I heard Zack.

"Ella!! Liam!! Get out here!! He kissed my forehead and left to the group....I miss him...and I want to find him...I'm just scared too...Maybe I will.....and the thing I have to say is....I love you too.....
