Skylar wants to cower, but she knows she has to be strong for Liam. She awaits the jurisdiction to come down as Liam walks downstairs, her behind him.
"Everything's okay, Dad, Lillian." He says, acknowledging the presence of his step-mother. "This is Skylar, my girlfriend." He said, as they reached the bottom of the stairs."Your what?" Lillian exclaimed.
"Hello Skylar, nice to meet you, I'm Jackson." Liam held Skylars hand as his father and Lillian spoke.
Skylar positions herself just barely behind his shoulder, gripping his hand for dear life. "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Peterson." She doesn't trust herself to say much more.
"Oh, please call me Jackson, dear." His father replied. "Liam, could I speak to you for a moment," Jackson shot a look at Skylar, "alone?"
Skylar's anxiety spikes. Why were they looking at her like that? When he walks away, her hand feels cold, so she crosses her arms, standing there in her boyfriend's clothes with his step-mother eyeing her.
Lillian smiles, "How are you, Skylar? Talk to me, you're very pretty."Before letting go of her hand, Liam squeezed it softly.
"How long has she been in the house, Liam?" Jackson asked his son.
"Since school was over." Liam answered.
"Aren't her parents worried about her?" Jackson asked, eyeing the time. "It's almost fucking midnight."
"Do you think I'm holding her here against her will?" Liam started, it wasn't like him to snap at his father, but Skylar had changed him.
"She wants to stay here. Her family is fine with it." He said, not exactly lying, but not elaborating in respect to her privacy.
Jackson shook his head, "What have you two been doing, huh?"
Liam prayed he didn't blush as he responded, "I've been helping her with her English essay. Is that okay with you?"
Jackson shook his head again and sighed, "You're on the couch tonight, you hear me?"
Skylar smiles at Liam's stepmother. "I"m okay. We were just working on our English papers. You have a really nice son," she says trying to break the ice. She heard Liam snap at his father and wondered if everything was okay.
Lillian smiles in response, "Liam is nice, definitely. So is that how you two met? In English?" Her smile wavers a little when she hears Liam snap at Jackson."Uh huh. Sure." Liam said before adding, "Is that all or do you have more questions?"
Jackson ran his hand across his face and thought for a moment before saying, "Treat her well, okay?"
Liam's brows furrowed, "Of course I will," He wanted to say more but decided he wasn't worth it.
He walked back over to Skylar and grabbed her hand and squeezed.
Skylar's smile falters, "You could say that," not wanting to elaborate on her shitty life.
Liam's presence immediately relieved a lot of pressure on her. She squeezed back hard and leaned a little on him, not caring what Jackson said. She said to Liam, so that he got the hint, "me and your stepmother were just talking about how we met in English. She said smiling praying to whoever that for once he got the hint. She whispers, "talk later?" too quiet for Jackson or Lillian to hear her.

He squeezes his hand in response to her question. "Yeah, we sit right next to each other too." Liam added, smiling, but not looking at Jackson. "Well I'm sure you are tired, so if you will excuse us, we need to get ready for bed, right Skylar?" Lillian nodded and said, "Good night, and stay on the couch tonight, Liam."
Jackson shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere until you fall asleep on the couch, you hear me?"
Liam nodded and gently guided Skylar up the stairs.
((I thought we were supposed to hate Lillian... but I love her uwu))
She feels a weight being lifted off her shoulders. She has to fight the urge to laugh. They were alone for what, 8 hours? If they didn't screw around like he thinks they're going to then... why would they now? She's still leaning into Liam though. She doesn't like Jackson... like ughhhhh. But yeah, she loves Liam. Very quietly she whispers, "I love you even more. You took crap from your father for me." She looks at him, nothing but pure love in her eyes.

((lmao, liam hates her because she 'replaced' his mother))He smiles and once they reach his room, he kisses her ever so softly on the lips. "I love you so much, I'd do it a million times over."
she hugs him, being choked up to say anything.
Liam hugs her back and whispers into her ear, "I guess I have to go back down for a while. At least until he thinks I'm asleep. Once he goes to bed, I'm back up here, okay?"
Her face heats up. "Okay. If I'm asleep just hold me and wake me up." She says, smiling her signature blinding smile.
He nods and kisses her one last time before going back downstairs. He grabs a pillow and a blanket on the way down. He notices his father in the kitchen eating some toast. He lays down.
Skylar crawled in his bed and was ready to lay smell his pillow until Jackson decided Liam was asleep. He better be good at fake sleeping, she thought.
10 minutes had passed and Jackson had finally decided Liam was asleep. Liam listened as his father went to his bedroom and shut the door. Liam got up and snuck buck upstairs. He opened the door to his room, carefully.
Skylar was awake still and smiled at him, loving that he was willing to risk getting into serious trouble just to stay with her.
He went over to his bed and got on it. He kissed her forehead and cuddled close to her.
She snuggled closer, needing the close contact he provided. She turned to him and nuzzled into his chest. "Hey," she whispered, "What happened with you and your dad back there? I think he hates me."
He sighed a little, "Dad got too aggressive. He started attacking your family. I defended you." He shook his head a little and kissed her head. "I'm sorry about him. It seemed like you and Lillian got along though." Despite his disliking of Lillian, she was definitely a good step-mom tonight. She didn't judge them, unlike Jackson had.
She smiles wide. "Aww my protector." She moves closer to him. "Yeah, I like her." she states with a grin. "We heard you guys yelling and it was like both of us was flinching for yk, our mansies." She laughs quietly and kisses his nose.
He laughs a little and kisses her forehead. "Forever, I will protect you forever."
She takes his hand and brings it to her heart, it was pounding quickly. "See what you do to me?" she asks smilingg.
Her smile was beautiful. Liam smiled and kissed her again on her forehead. "I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." she whispered back. She hugs him and falls asleep tangled up with him, wrapped up in his arms.
He falls asleep, smiling. The night passes too quickly and Liam is woken up by Lillian. "Liam, you need to get to the couch before your father wakes up." She whispered.
Liam's eyes were wide in shock, Lillian was helping him. Huh, maybe she wasn't that bad after all. Liam nodded in thanks and slowly removed himself from the bed. He kissed Skylar on the head before sneaking back down stairs to the couch.
Skylar vaguely remembers Liam leaving, because immediately after she was extremely cold. She felt him kiss her head. Lillian strokes her head and said, "I hope he's good to you." before Skylar passes out cold again.
The next morning Liam is woken up by his father shaking him. "Good morning, Liam." Jackson said, "How'd you sleep?"Liam was confused as to why he was on the couch until he remembered yesterday.... that Skylar was in his room.... in his bed.
"Good, you?" He managed, consumed by his love for Skylar.
"Fine. I think she's still asleep." Jackson said, offhandedly. Liam smiled and got up, "Thank you, Dad." He said before running upstairs. He slowly opened the door to his room as to not wake her. He quietly climbed back into the bed with Skylar.
Skylar is still half asleep. Still tangled up in his sheets, messy hair. She feels the bed dip and she murmurs, "oh you're back. hold me baby," as she raises her arms and is taken back to sleep with him next to her.
Liam felt his body explode in heat. He knew he was blushing, hard. He wasn't expecting her to call him baby, but he liked it. He did as she wished and held her. He kisses her forehead and decided they would only stay like that for 15 minutes.. maybe 20 minutes.
Skylar woke up a little while later and looked over to see Liam asleep. Deciding to be naughty funny she kisses his nose, then his cheeks, then his eyes and then kisses him softly. When that didn't wake him up, she deepened the kiss and slipped her tongue in, trying not to laugh.
Liam moaned softly and realized he was being kissed. He opened his eyes and saw that Skylar was kissing him. He quickly shut them and started to kiss her back roughly. He was smiling against her lips and when they did pull away he whispered, "Good morning."
She laughs, quietly, "good morning, baby," suspecting what happened last time she said baby.
His entire body erupted into flames, again. He smiled and whispered, "How did you sleep, baby?" He asked, using her word. He emphasized it to see her reaction.
Her cheeks flame up, knowing that he notices, "So good until you left. Then I was cold" she teased, "But I felt your kiss so it made it better. I was hot for a while after. The things you do to me."
He laughs a little, "Lillian actually came and warned me. I was surprised, but Dad didn't ask me about anything." He told her before he kissed her on each marking.
"That's so awesome. I think she's so cool." She moans a little bit against his chest as his lips make contact.
He smiles and kisses each marking once more. "I'm happy you like at least one of my parents, then."
"I don't like what'ver his name is."
"My father?" He asked, laughing a little, "He can be a jerk sometimes, but I know he means well. I wish he wouldn't have attacked you like that though. It was uncalled for."
"I don't even know what he said, but judging by your expression it wasn't nice. I love youu Liam." she said, loving to say his name. And she meant it. She wanted to kiss him again. So she just looked at him, wondering if he would.
"I love you more, Skylar." He said, before kissing her softly.
She closes her eyes and leans into it, leans into him. Breathing him in and not wanting to leave him ever.
He bites her lip softly, not wanting to make it bleed. He moves his hands to her hair and plays with it.
She tilts her chin up, giving him more access, moaning into his mouth. She just LOVES IT when he plays with her hair.
Liam plays with her hair as he continues to kiss her. He smiles against her lips, loving to hear her moan.
She gasps when he moves, "don't stop" she pleads.
"Liam? Is everything okay?" His dad asked.
