Elliot smiles at Liam who was already in tears, He rushes to meet him pulling him in his embrace. They both cried on each other’s shoulders while hugging each other.
“Tell me what’s wrong”Elliot pulled out from the hug. Liam sighs before looking at him.
“I have a hole in my heart”Liam confessed staring at Elliot.
Elliot didn’t say anything which made Liam a bit worried, He held Liam’s desk preventing him from stumbling to the ground. He looked at Liam with a smile before collapsing to the ground, Liam eyes widened as he rushed towards him.
“Elliot!” Liam yelled tapping his cheek lightly.
“I’m fine”Elliot tells him making Liam breathe out a sigh of relief.
“Please Elliot okay, don’t scare me like that ever again!”Liam snaps at him.
“I’m tired of seeing the people I love die okay, At least let me die..”Liam started but words were muffled by Elliot’s finger stopping him from talking.
“Please never talk about death again”Elliot warns him.
“Elliot I’m sorry but what can I do, is either I undergo a surgery to fix my heart or have a heart transplant”Liam tells him.
“Which one did the doctor suggest?”Elliot asked.
“Well he said if I can make my heart less stressed and be happy, then I can go for the surgery to fix my heart but..” Liam stops not wanting to continue.
“But what?”Elliot impatiently asked.
“But if I can’t make my heart less sad I have to do a heart transplant or I will d..”Elliot covered his mouth stopping him from finishing his sentence.
“Don’t”Elliot begs as he nodded slightly.
“What are we still waiting for?” Elliot asked making Liam look at him a bit confused.
“What do you mean?” Liam curiously asked him.
“You are going to undergo the heart transplant”Elliot tells him.
“Oh really dude, where do you want me to say a new heart from? well I never did ask the doctor about a heart but..”Liam’s word were cut off.
“I will give you my heart”Elliot tells him.
“Are you crazy dude, I just told you that I don’t wanna see any of my loved one gone again and you are talking about giving me your heart are you nuts!” Liam snaps at him.
“I don’t fucking care, but I’m not gonna watch anything happen to you”Elliot assures him.
“Whatever but don’t ever talk shit like that again”Liam warns him.
“I don’t know what I’m doing with my life if I can’t help my brother when he really needs helps”Elliot drop to his kneels crying out loudly.
“Dude can you keep it down someone might here you”Liam groans.
“I don’t want anything to happen to you, you are the only one I have no one else”Elliot admits making Liam clean the tears that were threaten to fall from his eyes.
“Please don’t make me cry, Elliot please get up”Liam pleaded with him as Elliot stood up cleaning his face before leaving the office.

Gosh I don’t know what I’m gonna do, seeing Elliot reaction to my illness is really heart breaking. Which makes me wonder how Amelia will feel when she finds out I’m dying slowly.

Andrew arrived at his Liam’s wine company hoping he will see Amelia and Liam together. He asked some staffs were Liam was but none of them knew where he was. Andrew sighs and turns to leave when he bumped into Liam.
“What are you doing here?”Liam curiously asked him with his eyebrow raised.
“I came to see Amelia”Andrew tells him.
“Amelia, why do you wanna see her?”Liam suspiciously questioned him.
“I just wanted to ask her few things”Andrew explained.
“Something like what?”liam frowns.
“Relax dude , she knows me okay”Andrew frowns a bit.
“What the fuck do you mean by she knows you” Liam chuckles in disbelief.
“Well since she isn’t here, I wanna ask you something”Andrew admits.
“Go on”Liam hastily uttered.
“Well I wanna know if you and Amelia are together”Andrew said making Liam scoff.
“Yes we are together any problem?” Liam asked watching his every reaction immensely.
“I didn’t know someone like Amelia was your type”Andrew chuckles.
“Look dude who are you to know my type of girls , we aren’t even friends”Liam pointed out.
“Well we are business rivals…I mean partners”Andrew sheepishly grin making Liam smirk.
“I prefer rivals”Liam admits making Andrew frown.
“Sure whatever you call us”Andrew mutters.
“So how can I help you Mr Jones, did you come all the way here to ask whether I was dating Amelia”Liam scoffs a bit stunned.
“Nah that wasn’t the reason”Andrew lied as his eyes scans the room nervously.
“Okay so what can I do for you?”Liam asked while staring at him suspiciously.
“I wanna try out your new products, thinking of ordering some for the party I’m hosting soon”Andrew blurted out.
“Well that is weird because your company also produces wine”Liam chuckles.
“So what, that doesn’t mean I can’t patronize my business partner”Andrew smirks.
“Rivals”Liam correct him before leaving him standing with rage in his eyes.
“I really hate you Liam scott”Andrew mutters before leaving.
