Chapter Thirteen

Up to me.

PENELOPE.

Liam is quiet as we head back to the house. In fact, he hasn’t even looked at me since we left Margot’s office. I think he’s a little mad that I asked Margot to teach me how to block my thoughts.

Blocking my thoughts is surprisingly easy and yet complicated at the same time. I think it’s easier for the guys because they’ve known their whole lives how to block their thoughts. It’s muscle memory for them. For me, I have to actually think about physically blocking my thoughts.

Imagine a wall, Margot had told me.

A wall?

That’s easy.

The hard part is keeping the wall up. The second I’m distracted the wall moves. I don’t know if that’s normal, but it’s what happens to me.

As soon as we get back to the house, Liam heads upstairs to his room. I watch his retreating form, wondering if I should say something to him.

“What’s wrong with Liam?” I ask Aiden, who is standing closest to me.

Aiden simply shrugs.

Boys.

I sigh and decide to just ask him myself. I walk up the stairs to Liam’s room. I think about just busting into this room and demanding him tell me what’s wrong, but I knock instead. The door jerks open and Liam appears in the doorway. He’s still got a scowl on his face. I don’t say anything to him. I just brush past him into his room. He turns to follow me, shutting his door behind him.

“What is your problem?” I put my hands on my hips demanding an answer.

He smirks. “You’re kind of cute when you’re upset.”

I roll my eyes but smile. “Dang it, Liam. Let me be mad at you.”

“Honestly, I am mad at you,” he says.

“Why? I didn’t do anything.”

Liam sighs. “Let’s sit down.”

He motions toward his bed. I start to argue with him and tell him that I won’t sit down until he tells me why he’s mad at me, but then I see the look on his face. He looks… hurt. And my chest aches thinking that I’ve cause my mate pain. I can sit down with him and listen to what he has to say. It’s the least I can do.

I get on his bed, scooting up to the headboard so I can lean against it. He does the same on the other side. I pull my knees up to my chest and hug them. I watch him and wait for him to say whatever it is that I did. We need to work this out.

“What did I do?” Tears fill my eyes because I hurt Liam. I didn’t want to do that.

He sighs and pulls me against his chest. I let go of my legs and just hug him. He kisses the top of my head.

“Please don’t cry,” Liam murmurs, once he sees my tears.

I sit up, wiping them away. “I’m sorry. I just… I hate that I hurt you.”

“It’s okay. I just can’t handle you crying.” He shakes his head. “It’s impossible to be mad at you.
