Impossible Love?
Part II
During the week after the incident at
the warehouse, Liam had walked around with a sad look on his face. He ignored anyone who
asked what was wrong. Lili, who knew the reason, was trying to help, but received the same
reaction everyone else did. She decided that the next time she saw him, she was not going
to take no for an answer. After several tries, she was finally able to corner him on his
way to the Embassy. He tried to dismiss her by saying nothing was wrong, but Lili knew
better and kept pressing.
"Fine. I give up. I'll tell you why I'm so
moody."
"Liam, I..." Lili started, but Liam
cut her off.
"I have strong feelings for him, Lili.
Don't ask me to explain it because I can't!" Liam exclaimed.
"Liam, you've only met him twice. So you
slept with him, don't confuse that with something else." Lili told him.
"I'm not confusing anything, Lili. I
really do feel that way."
"Liam, I know what it's like to have a
crush on someone, but..."
"You're not listening to me. I think I
love him."
Lili's eyes opened wide in surprise. She'd though, no hoped, that it was no more than a
crush. The look on his face told her that it was a whole lot more "Liam, I had no
idea..."
"Now you know. Obviously Will doesn't feel the same way about me, or he wouldn't have
said the things he did." Liam sighed and looked down at the floor as tears entered
his eyes.
Lili sighed, "I'm
so sorry, Liam." She put her hand on his arm as he started to walk away.
"It's okay. I'll be okay. Thanks for
listening to me." Liam said with his voice cracking. "Bye." he added softly
as he whipped away a tear and walked off.
After Liam had walked out of
earshot, Lili took out her Global and called Boone. She asked him to meet her at the park
and the hung up. When she got to the park, she quickly spotted him and called him over to
a nearby bench.
"Hi Lili. What did you want to talk
about?" Will asked her.
"About the person that gave you that
shiner." Lili answered.
Boone touched his eye and chuckled. Suddenly, for a moment, he had the same sad expression
on his face that Liam had had earlier, but he quickly recovered.
Lili didn't miss the look and asked, "Will, is there something you aren't telling
me?"
"I don't know if I should..." was
Boone's wary reply.
"Will you know you can trust me, why won't
you tell me?"
"I think I'm in love with Liam." he
stated.
"What?!" was her reply.
Boone nodded and continued, "I'm
Gay, Lili. Always have been".
"But that's impossible you were married.
You and Kate were happy." Lili said.
"I was married, but I wasn't happy. I
married Kate to hide the truth. You know how gays are treated in the police force. I
loved my job and I didn't want to be forced out of it. So, I married her. I
did love her, but I was never in love with her. I had a couple of relationships in
college, but that was pretty much it. Nobody knows. But why are you so surprised? I mean
you already know I slept with Liam."
"I just thought you were Bi." she
simply said. "Anyway back to Liam, if you say you those feelings for him, why did you
say those things about what happened between you? Do you have any idea how much you've
hurt him?
"I would have never said that if I had
known he was around. I said it, because I didn't want to tell you what I felt. I never
wanted to hurt him. I...love him."
Lili smiled a bit, albeit uneasily because she
was worried that Boone might hurt Liam again. "Then go to him. Wait for him in his
apartment like you did last time."
Boone nodded and was about to leave when Lili's
Global chirped. Boone stopped walking and his face lost all color when he heard what Agent
Sandoval had called to tell Lili. A shuttle had crashed and the pilot, who was
missing, was Liam.
