Summary
See, Liam can fantasize about what it would be like for Theo to let him in. He can think about what it would be like to hold this beautiful boy’s story in his hands, every sharp shard, and tell Theo that it was not his fault, can fantasize about what it would be like for Theo to believe him. But that doesn’t make it real.
He’s standing outside the hospital door again, with flowers and folded cardstock, but this time Theo is standing on the other side with a hand on the doorknob, eyes fixed on Liam through the little window. Here Liam stands, hoping against everything that Theo will let him in. But he won’t, or he hasn’t at least. Theo’s fingers tap the door knob, maybe jiggle it a little. But he never opens it.
Theo reads his text, but he won’t reply.Theo will come over, but won’t eat the m&ms, won’t tell Liam what is wrong.
Liam has become accustomed to waiting.
OR
Liam learns how to forgive, how to love, and what it means to be patient. Spoiler: it all hurts.
