It had been two months since Mariah had been released from hospital. There had not been any other dates like the one they had in Mariah’s hospital room, Liam kinda thought that it was a little hard to top running naked across town to make sure that Mariah was okay and then giving her his blood. Though he had got into the habit of having lunch with Mariah and Penny every day. Despite Brittney’s best efforts to see that he didn’t.
Liam was looking at one of the signup sheets for the charity auction outside the gym, after what seemed to be an eternity of staring at that dam sheet he finally signed his name on the dotted line. Nobody would be able to say that he did not have school spirit he grumbled to himself as he headed off to spend the rest of the morning in Art Class. Even though he really didn’t have a choice in it Liam had been putting off signing up for the school charity slave auction for as long as possible. The idea behind it seemed innocent enough just a matter of doing some chores for girl who was lucky enough to buy the services of a member of the football team, while wearing a tight pair of shorts.
For most of Art class Liam kept his head down in his sketch book drawing, though he could not help but smile to himself and think of Mariah when the end of the lesson Mrs Mendes made an announcement about the mid-term project
“For your mid-term project you are going to work in groups of two and each of you are required to turn in pictures recreating a scene from a movie. Now class dismissed”

*Mariah hadn't been in school much since her discharge from the hospital. It was her first full week back and she enjoyed lunches with Liam and Penny, but she had not yet had a real moment alone with Liam. Penny always seemed to be at her side or Britney was always butting in and trying to lure Liam into a conversation with her. Mariah's grandma and friends were always home with her and near her side since she got out of the hospital. Art class was starting and finally she was somewhere comfortable. She sat in her seat and immediately sunk into her work, sketching a tree today during her free time. She had not seen the sign up sheet yet for the charity auction, but knew what it was about. Similar events had been held, but not until Junior year could one participate. She heard girls talking, especially Britney, about who they would try to "buy". Suddenly the teacher spoke about the assignment, snapping Mariah out of her work. She looked over to Liam, not noticing until now that he had come in.*

As always Liam sat behind Mariah, he waited until most of the class had left and she was gathering up her books before finally approaching her. He felt nervous, it was strange he had always felt a little nervous when he talked to her ever since the hospital. Seeing Mariah's crutches he thought quickly and asked
"do you need somebody to help carry your books?"
As he waited to see if she needed help with her books he quickly asked
" .... Would you like to work with me on the mid-term project?"

*She was about to say "I'm fine" but as she tried to gather her books and new paint supplies, she was certainly struggling.* "Uh...sure" she said as she blushed slightly and let him take her books. Finally they were alone for a moment, and she felt nervous. Why did she feel so nervous? She began to walk with her crutches and stopped as he asked about the project.* "Sure. I would like that." She said with a smile. She walked alongside of him. Art was the last class and now she was on her way to cheerleading. She obviously would not be partaking in practice, but as captain she had to oversee all that was happening. She also had some opportunities while resting in the hospital and at home to come up with some new cheer moves for her team.* "Are you going to football practice now?" She asked Liam.*

For a second, for the slightest second when Mariah handed him her books he was tempted to also sweep her up in his arms and carry her to practice but he quickly realized that both of them would never hear the end of it if he did. Mariah might have got the slightest hint of what he was considering doing.
"ah yeah i am, i think they are handing out the togas for the charity auction thing today to"
As they walked to the football field Liam could not help but 'check' Mariah out he found himself staring at Mariah's breasts without realizing it. Though this was not like the standard high school boy treating a girl he has on like a piece of meat, there was something else to how he was conducting himself.
"do you have any ideas for the mid-term project yet?"
he asked as the neared the football field, there was a line of football players with Britney at the head of the line making sure that each of them got their 'toga' for the charity auction.

"Toga?" She asked, her eyebrows raising when she realized what that meant. "You signed up?" she was a bit surprised, but then again she imagined all of the football players would be signing up. She took a moment to think on that before replying to his question. "Um...I'm not sure I have any ideas on that yet. Do you?"
She noticed the line and that Britney was of course the head of it, taking charge. Mariah swore that Britney always had to roll those practice shorts a little shorter each chance she got, just to show off the "goods" to anyone who would take notice.*

They walked together across the field to where the rest of the Cheerleaders where, Liam was doing his best to avoid Britney as much as possible. He sat Mariah's books down on the first row of the bleachers
"yeah i signed up, when i read the poster in the cafeteria i kinda got the impression i had no say in the matter"
He thought for a few seconds about the mid-term
" a few idea have popped into my head ..... but i dont think any of them are appropriate for a school art project"
Like all teenager boys he had a few 'inappropriate' thoughts about the girls in the high school, even a few about Mariah. Especially after their little run in the forest that lead up to his punishment. But now after spending time with Mariah in the hospital he had actually felt guilty when he thought about her in that way and besides these feelings that he had for Mariah made him want to come up with the perfect idea of how he wanted to draw her. He started to head over to the dwindling line of players and then looked back to Mariah
"talk to you after practice?"
Seeing this Britney came over to Liam to 'especially' give him his toga for the auction. Britney was dressed in the tightest shorts and a white tshirt that was clearly to small to comfortably confine her 'assets' and it was clear by the way she was standing she wanted Liam to look at something and it was not her eyes. He waited for Mariah's response and then sort of half smiled to Britney and said
" uh .... thanks ... Britney"
And then headed into the change rooms to get ready for practice.

*Mariah looked over at him with a sort of shocked but yet amused look as he said he had "inappropriate" ideas. She wondered what he meant, but she dared not ask. "Well, it has to be scenes from a movie...what are your favorite movies?" She asked, finally asking the sorts of questions someone getting to know someone else would ask. She realized they certainly had not gone about getting to know each other in any traditional sense. Definitely unconventional. She felt herself blush a little and quickly responded to his next question. "Sure. Come find me after practice." She sat down beneath the large tree and waited for the rest of her team to show up. She watched as Britney flaunted herself in front of the guys. Mariah thought about this charity auction and up until now she really did not give much thought to "buying" a guy. True that most of the cheerleaders were going to be bidding, but she never really had any desire to get involved. Though now that she knew that Liam was going to be in the auction...well now she couldn't help but think of all of those girls, including Britney, who would most definietely be bidding on him. This thought, to her surprise, bothered her. There was no denying that she was developing feelings for Liam, especially after all he had done for her in the hospital. After all she went through from her last relationship, after her accident, and the fact that the two of them had not talked much since she had left the hospital...well she just really did not know what she felt. What he felt. Her mind kept going back to their "date" in the hospital, when he brought her that delicious meal. She had the necklace he gave her still in it's box on her dresser. It wasn't that she did not want to wear it, but she was partly afraid to. She did not know what "they were" and she did not think it was appropriate to wear a necklace from a guy she did not really know well. Still, every night she took it out, dangled it from her fingers and watched it sparkle in the lights. She could not help but smile and hold it tight in her hands for a moment before returning it to the box. Then there was the kiss...well sure they had kissed a couple of times, but the one that stood out, the one with the most meaning was when he kissed her in the hospital, in front of everyone. Her lips tingled just at the thought. That was the last time they kissed. The last time they really had any moment really.
Mariah was interrupted from her thoughts suddenly as she saw Britney and the rest of the cheerleaders run up. "HEY Mya! So good to see you! How are you? Oh you're poor leg!" They all said and hugged her and exchanged gossip. Britney then could be heard talking to Courtney about the auction. "IT's going to be the hottest yet! Mm mm have you seen the line up? And THAT Liam....I know where my money is going. Or should I say...daddy's money. hehe Oh won't he be mad if he knew what I was spending it on! Oh...I have to find the hottest outfit for that night for sure." Britney did not intend for anyone but Courtney to hear, but Mariah heard it, and Penny did too. Mariah tried not to let it bother her as she began to the cheer meeting and then had Penny, who could actually perform the moves Mariah had choreograph, teach the other girls. After practice, the girls were all walking away but Penny stayed behind. She sat next to Mariah and smiled. The same smile she had been giving her for weeks, that "I've got something to tell you but can't" smile. "So when did the doctor say you can start cheering again?" She asked. Mariah raised a brow at the silly smirk on her friend's face and replied "Well...hopefully by the end of the week I can get my cast removed. I am healing fast. Faster than anyone can believe." She then put a hand on Penny's. "But I know that isn't what you want to tell me." Penny grinned and had to look away. She wanted to tell her friend what she had overheard Liam tell the nurse. How he LIKED Mariah and hoped she liked him. She wanted to tell her friend about all the times Liam stayed beside her in the hospital but she wouldn't. "It's nothing. I'm just glad you're okay. Gotta go. Text me later, ok?" She then ran off to join the other girls. Just as Mariah was about to stand up, she was startled by a hand touching her shoulder, the hand reaching out from behind the tree she was sitting at. "Hey..." a whisper and she reached for her crutches, only to drop them as the hand pulled her back behind the tree. "Can we talk?" Then the voice matched the face. It was Joel. Lurking behind the tree where he hoped no one would see him.*

Liam did not say anything about Mariah's question about movies, he had rather broad taste though no favourites came to mind.
Practice was much like any other practice and went pretty much without a hitch or injury, which was always a good thing. As soon as practice was over Liam helped pack all the gear away and then headed to the change rooms for a shower long after any attempt by Britney to gain access to the Boy's change room, one time he overheard a couple of cheerleaders joking that they where certain that Britney could describe the naked bodies of at least half the football team. One of the things apart from Mariah he liked about this school was the fact that the lockers in the change room had locks on them that actually worked so none of his clothes had disappeared. Unlike the party they when he first arrived in town, those jeans of his that went missing where one of his favorites.
He took his time in the showers, even though he did want to talk to Mariah after practice, he did not want to look as if he was desperate to talk to her even though there was part of him that actually was.
When he finally finished his shower his shower his towel had disappeared again, it was part of the hazing or at least he thought it was. He just tried to ignore it the best he could and he was just going to have to air dry. Again.
Liam finally got dressed he made his way out of the change room. He saw Mariah across the field and it looked like she was talking to somebody, he just sat on a bench and waited for a chance to catch her attention because he did not want to interrupt.

"Joel! What are you doing here? Let go of me..." Mariah said as she tried to take a step back but ended up stumbling over her cast and crashed her back into the tree behind her. She noticed he had a full boot cast on his leg, confirming the rumors she had heard about him getting it injured. He struggled with his own crutches as he moved closer to her, and mistakingly more in the line of sight, and nearly pressing himself against her. "Please...I just want to talk to you. I don't know what you have heard, but I didn't mean it..."
She looked confused. "Mean what?" She had not heard any of his pleas for forgiveness in the hospital as she was unconscious and Liam had not filled her in on his little run in with Joel either. Figuring all of this out, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Nothing...I...I didn't mean to hurt you. I heard you were in the hospital and it broke my heart...to think that something could have happened to you. I still love you."
*She pushed him back gently and just shook her head. "Please..." he said. "I can't stay." His eyes searched around him for anyone who might notice him. "Just know that I love you and won't give up until you forgive me." He leaned in then to kiss her and she slapped him hard. "What are you doing? Get back! Are you crazy?!" Anger and frustration flashed in his eyes then and he thought for a moment of raising his hand but suddenly he thought he heard a noise behind him. He grabbed his crutches tighter and began to make his way away from her.*

Liam just watched and waited as Mariah talk with whoever it was she was talking to. When it was Joel he decide it was best to at least let things played out. Because though he did have a run in with Joel in Mariah's hospital room, he really did not remember that much of it to be able to tell her anything coherent of what happened.
But when Mariah slapped Joel, he could not help but be a little impressed by her as he could have sworn that he saw a slight Mariah sized hand print fading from Joel's cheek as he hurried away.
Liam paused for a second and pretended he did not see everything that had just happened as he appeared by her side. Seeing as the football field was empty the feeling he had before to sweep her off of her feet and hold her in his arms came back again
"is everything ok Mariah?"

*She definitely appeared shook up and had to take a deep breath before replying to Liam.* "Yeah...yeah I'm fine. I just can't believe he did that...the nerve of him..." *She took a deep breath again and then gave him a slight smile.* "It's fine. I'm glad to see you." She didn't realize she had actually said that out loud. She blushed a little. "Um...how was practice?" She asked quick and then tried to hop along to where her crutches fell, almost falling over again.*

"there was no injuries and everything seems to be shaping up well for the big game. I also managed to avoid seeing Britney try and gain entry into the boys change room, though my towel did go missing again while i had a shower."
Liam thought for a second, perhaps she did not need to know that last part. Seeing that Mariah was about to fall before she even had a chance to hit the ground he caught her in his arms and easily picked her up. So that her feet where off of the ground. Holding her in his arms he could have sworn that he felt complete something that he had never felt before. Mere inches away from his face Mariah would be able to see every visible drop of water and how it seemed to make him a little shiny from certain angles.
"whoops"
He looked around and the last of the people had left the field.
"You've had a long day and it must have been uncomfortable with your crutches. How about I carry you to your car?"
He did not wait for an answer and carried her over to her stuff, he would have put her back down if she wanted to. He just hoped that she did not want him to place her back down. He picked up both of her crutches in one hand and then squatted down so that she could pick up her books.

*That is good." She said and then covered a giggle as he spoke of having no towel. Though when she thought of Britney, her smile faded. She noticed the droplets of water on his visible skin and how slicked back his hair was. As she almost tripped and fell, she felt his arms around her and sweep her up literally off her feet. Her heart skipped a beat and she had to catch her breath as she wrapped her arms around him to keep a good hold. No one else was around. It was just them and she felt her heart flutter again. "Uh...sure..." she said as he offered to carry her. She picked up her books and was amazed at how strong he seemed to be. She was quiet as they walked back, trying to keep her heart from pounding out of her chest. She just hoped he couldn't hear it.*
