The Glass Doll

The day I was diagnosed with Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD), the doctor said to me: "Your world cannot exist without Liam Vance's love." I became Liam's "Emotional Glass Doll". He put me first in everything, even turned down various important Mergers to accompany me to therapy. Until the day my condition stabilized, he finally smiled. His Childhood Sweetheart Stella also smiled: "I told you it wasn't that serious? Isn't it all just Sister doing it on purpose to trap Liam?" That time, was the first time he hit Stella, forcing her to apologize to me. But the day Stella went to the bar, I just whispered that my heart was panicking. Liam suddenly smashed the medicine bottle in his hand: "Can you not be so selfish? Stella is very sad about her breakup!" "I revolve around you every day, can't I go take care of her for a few hours?" "If you want to have an episode, just have it, I've had enough!" He kicked all the pills on the floor, grabbed the car keys, and slammed the door leaving. I didn't speak, just looked at the red marks on my wrist scratched due to anxiety, breathing becoming more and more difficult. ... Chapter 1 I hurriedly went to pick up the medicine. Several pills down my stomach, still didn't work. I suddenly remembered what the psychiatrist said. "Your body has developed a dependency on the medication, but the dependency that can truly give you a sense of security is Liam Vance." I tremblingly reached out to take the phone to call him. But the other end only mechanically repeated "No Answer". I suddenly remembered, Stella didn't like Liam revolving around me all the time. I wanted to try hard to calm down by myself. But just sat on the sofa, saw a lace panty not belonging to me stuck in the gap. Bad images constantly circled in my mind. My breathing became more and more difficult. I hurriedly opened the cabinet to get the oxygen tank. But inside there were only photos of Stella and Liam. There were several photos, the two kissing together. My heart beat like thunder, swept all the albums on the floor. Exploding glass fragments cut my hand. Blood soaked the photo paper drop by drop. The mess on the floor suddenly reminded me of Liam's breakdown. "Willow, what exactly do you want me to do so you don't have an episode?" He must be sick of me always making the house messy. I hurriedly wanted to clean up. But not taking two steps, the whole person spun around. Countless terrifying voices pulled in my ears. I was extremely scared, stumbled and hid into the bedroom closet. Enclosed space can briefly relieve my anxiety. I missed Liam very very much. I hesitated again and again, dialed Stella's number. She said, if there is anything, I can also contact her. One ring, two rings... Stella actually picked up! There were loud stereo sounds and glasses clinking sounds over there. I vaguely guessed, this is a Bar. "Why are you always so haunting?" "Stella, I'm uncomfortable... I want to see..." Phone was snatched by Liam, voice very impatient. "You are uncomfortable every day!" "Can you stop pretending for me? Can't I just accompany Stella to relax?" "Please, you are twenty-five years old, can you stop playing this kind of childish game?" Next second, busy tone sounded in ear. Faint screen light reflected my face wanting to cry in darkness. Liam was right, I am not a child anymore, but always implicate his life. I simply don't deserve such a good boyfriend like him. Beside my hand was his shirt. I took it down and wrapped it around myself. Still as fragrant as every time he hugged me before. I greedily absorbed the pine scent in the air. Just as if he was still by my side comforting me "I am here, don't be afraid". Don't know how long passed, I almost stopped breathing. Last trace of light at the gap also disappeared. I closed my eyes, reviewing past times like a revolving lantern. Maybe my death is a relief for everyone. Liam no longer has to give up multi-million projects for me. Stella also no longer has to throw tantrums because her childhood sweetheart cares too much about me. I also no longer have to try hard to disguise the worsening condition in front of the doctor. I gave up the idea of pushing open the closet. Head buried in the shirt, seemed Liam came back to coax me to sleep. Chapter 2 Open eyes again, I already saw myself stiffly curled up in the closet. Turns out this is the feeling of relief. Soul floating in the house, Liam came back holding drunk Stella. "Liam, I like you so much..." Shy dreamy tone made my chest fiercely pain. Liam didn't reject. Just gently put her on the sofa. "I'll go make you Hangover Smoothie." Passing by that mess on the floor, he stunned a bit. "Why so many our photos at home?" "Isn't it taken together few days ago, I felt good looking so printed out." "Seems Sister intentionally finding fault again, earlier even called to scold me..." Stella is pretending drunk. She turned over, strap slid down along with it. Liam just casually replied a sentence. "Don't calculate with a madwoman, tomorrow I take you to re-develop photos." He turned head into kitchen. Even treated me as not existing in this home at all. I tightly bit teeth, heart suddenly missed a piece. Stella soon swayed and circled Liam from behind. "I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time." Since I got sick, seeing Stella always had stress reaction. Liam ordered three times and five times Stella not allowed to enter door. But now, he indulged Stella's fingers wandering. Extremely doting scraped her nose. "So good, feels like back to before again." Under orange light, I felt two people would kiss in next second. Fragrant smelling food soon served on table. "I go call Willow." "Don't, it's so late, she kept quiet, definitely doesn't want to see me, I don't want her to go crazy again." Stella grabbed Liam's wrist. Liam's steps paused, considered default. Stella smilingly demanded him to feed her Hangover Smoothie. "Before every time I got drunk, didn't you carry to bed and feed me?" "Since you had girlfriend, I can't feel your care anymore!" Liam sighed, feeding spoon by spoon. "You also know Willow's illness, this period indeed wronged you." "It's okay, anyway Sister's illness cured, later we can eat together again." Stella eye bottom flashed a trace provocation. I thought of once world of two always had her existence. She was also always the one to be taken care of. I protested more than once. But Liam flipped back and forth, only those few sentences. "Stella is my sister, spoiled since childhood, you as sister-in-law should yield to her more." I changed from anger to numbness. Then suddenly one day, diagnosed by doctor with Emotional Disorder. Thinking now, that dark days. Instead was the closest time for me and Liam. Just thinking, Lucky who always sneak out came back. It "Meow"ed few times, didn't see me, attracted by food fragrance on table. "Dirty dead ah!" Stella hurriedly slapped Lucky wanting to jump on table. Liam a hug held it threw down. "Where is your mom? She doesn't feed you?" "Willow! You throwing what temper here again? Even ignore your own cat?" "Hurry come out for me! Stella originally mood bad because breakup, you still have to bully her at this time?" Anger in Liam's tone gradually deepened. Lucky was bought by him back then to soothe my illness. I always doting, but at this moment I floated beside hungry Lucky, powerless. Lucky seemed to sense my existence, scared fur exploded screaming. Running around, knocked over soup on table. Stella splashed all over. She screamed. "Isn't it just let you accompany me few hours today? Why Sister so stingy?" Liam grabbed cup smashed at Lucky. "Dead beast! Roll!" "Tell your mom, today if she doesn't come out apologize, don't think let me sleep with her!" "Willow! I know you definitely can hear, my patience is also limited!" I stood in front of him crazy explaining. But no one can hear. Lucky was scared to corner. My thousand words stuck in throat, finally can only say "Sorry". Stella was carried to bathroom to shower. "I didn't bring change clothes, want your shirt as dress." Steam filled space, ambiguous atmosphere constantly magnified. When Liam came out, opened chat page with me. "Just now indeed bit fierce to you, but Stella is indeed innocent." "You hurry come out, don't play hide and seek with me again, I am really tired today." "Me and Stella really nothing, you don't always random suspect like this!" He while walking to bedroom, while constantly sending voice messages. He knew every time I had episode throw temper would deliberately hide. Sometimes he searched for two hours. "I brought your favorite cupcake, you not come out eat again, cream going to melt." He turned on bedroom light, subconsciously swept a glance at bed. Then sighed, one hand pressing voice input, one hand put on closet door handle. I suddenly started nervous, heart thump thump beating non-stop. What if he sees my corpse? Will he be sad or relieved? Following his opening action, my heartbeat already reached throat. I already saw myself exposed half body. But Liam's attention still on phone chat interface. He continued voice bombing, head didn't even lower, just conveniently pulled away that shirt on my body. I wanted to call him stop, but opened mouth, no sound at all. Closet inside fell into darkness again. I looked at cream melted by AC on table. Suddenly felt pity. He clearly promised me, every time eat cake must be together. I sat before table, imagining Liam just beside let me make wish. Soon, Stella came out with wet hair. Shirt just to hips, open collar wet by water. Body outline faintly visible. "Since Sister not willing come out, then go your bedroom blow hair okay ma?" Liam frowned, eyes swept over phone with no reply message. Still carried Stella to bed. His action blowing hair very gentle. I even started trance, when he treated me like this before. Was "Willow" equal to "Stella"? "Liam, I tell truth, not worthy you." Hair dryer sound stopped abruptly. Stella looked up, eyes carrying aggression. "You two originally not people of one world, could it be just because her that bit life saving grace, want pay your whole life?" "You already paid enough for her! Don't say she now has mental problem, even no problem, could it be your parents would agree you marry her?" Liam stunned in place, expression obscure unclear. Stella actively circled his neck. "You think think, you because this woman, lost how much Capital? Uncle, Auntie opinion very big." "We two families count as true strong strong alliance." Yes, I am just an ordinary girl. Liam trained in company base level. Me and all female employees same, would also privately gossip him. Three years ago site accident, I blocked falling chandelier for him. Come and go, I also didn't expect, he would confess. At beginning, we indeed had sweet times. But very fast, Stella's time and time intervention, let me and Liam quarrel constantly deepen. I also remember Stella's warning: "Like you this kind woman, Liam just play play that's all, don't take yourself too seriously." I looked at their close distance contact, suddenly felt incomparable match. Stella and him are people can spend rest life happiness together. Use my death to exchange Liam return to original correct track, also count worth. I looked at myself in closet once. So good, no longer need have episode annoy people. But Liam pushed away Stella. "You don't continue nonsense again, I to you is treat as sister!" "But I like you!" Stella suddenly became hysterical. "Could it be I even this kind of bitch can't compare?" "Enough!" Liam impatiently pulled out power cord, then let Stella go out. "Feeling this thing, not you say how then how." "I indeed very like, and her illness isn't already recovered almost? Me and her very fast can live normal life." "Parents side I will think way solve. I soon can independent out, I already bought house, wait time mature I will propose." My heart fiercely twitched. I countless times threw out Stella question. He every time was vague response, just let me wait. I always thought, he just treated me as pastime. Or maybe just want repay kindness to me that's all. If back then he could say out in front of me. Maybe I wouldn't sick to serious level... Stella still not give up, she tore open clothes. "Have ability you face me admit, you to me a bit feeling no have!" Liam flustered wrapped quilt for her. "Exactly how many times you want me say? I only treat you as biological sister see!" "You know I once had a sister! All because I didn't watch her well so car accident!" Stella stunned a bit, disbelief looking him ask. "So, you do so many things for me, all just treat as compensation to your sister?" "You can understand like this." Clearly can't flow tears, I but felt eye rims sour. I once always didn't believe Liam and Stella relationship. Countless quarrel scenes surged into mind. Is me time and time forced him want explain. I want hug him apologize, but again feel everything I saw, indeed truly hurt me. Pain regret emotion hit, I feel soul all become heavy. Liam exit bedroom, start search places I once loved hide. "Willow, you just come out ba, I apologize to you okay?" "I really want have a home with you, but I also don't want everyday fear, afraid which sentence provoke you emotion lose control." Assistant call come, after he answer, brows locked deeper and deeper. He sighed, sat on sofa open laptop. I saw enterprise message said project had problem. I already very long not like now good good look him. Eye corner grew fine lines, dark circles cover not住 (can't cover). "Sorry ah, you already so tired, still have to everyday take care me." "Later good good take care self, I not worthy." I squat beside him, hand passed through his body. He seem felt something, suddenly look towards my side. Stella in room a scream. I was scared a jump, realized Stella might saw my corpse. But Liam ran in, Stella actually covering wrist wound crying. "Sister just now rushed out from closet stabbed me!" "I already died ah!" I angered laugh by this black white reverse words. But Liam carrying anger sight fell in opened closet. Angle problem, he can only see my curled lower body. "Okay! Hurry come out apologize!" "You don't again use yourself sick do excuse, hurt people is wrong!" See I late not have movement, his voice more raise a degree. "Willow! I already give you face enough! You again continue so unreasonable make trouble, I really will angry!" Finished, he reached hand just want pull me. I dead block in front of him, shouting don't move. I don't want till die still be seen ugly state by him. But I can only watch helplessly he grab my wrist. "Clatter" a sound, I like a pale statue fell on ground. World seemed at this moment quiet. Chapter 3 Liam disbelief looked at his own hand. Seemed scared by my that cold and stiff touch. Stella suddenly screamed beside. "She definitely stabbed me afraid being pursued responsibility, so intentional pretend faint here!" She walked forward, used that "injured" hand to pull Liam's arm: "Liam, I really so afraid... but she after all is your girlfriend, I look at your face can not call police." "You let her hurry get up ba, big midnight don't torture people." Liam's brows frowned tighter. He looked at me fallen on ground, eye bottom complex emotion fly fast surge. "Willow, stop noise." "I know you will because I accompany Stella angry, but hurting Stella too excessive!" "You get up, we good good talk, I can not pursue you anything." My soul squatted down. I can clearly see my pale skin suffocated death due to lack of oxygen, lips also start turn black, I suddenly felt this face bit scary. Liam waited few seconds, see I still not move, finally squatted down. He reached hand pushed my shoulder: "?" My body along with his force swayed, stiff like frozen meat block. "Don't pretend." His voice carried a trace anxiety, "I really still have many things to handle, tomorrow early meeting very important..." He again force shook me. But I still whole body stiff. Liam's hand suddenly froze. His gaze dead fell on my face. Then put warm palm on my face. One second, two seconds, three seconds... His expression started change. "How... so cold?" "Willow?" He called again. This time voice added a trace tremble. No response. "Willow!" He suddenly raised volume, hands grab my shoulder force shake. "You wake up! Don't scare me!" My body like broken string puppet, along with his action stiffly sway, head neck weak hanging. His voice started shaking: "Wake up! I let you wake up hear not!" He fierce hugged me up, tightly hold in arms. My head leaned on his shoulder, soon slid down. "Wrong... wrong..." Liam's voice completely changed tune, he use hand pat my face, "Open eyes, Willow, open eyes look me!" He seem fierce realized something wrong. He suddenly stopped all action, whole person froze there. Then reached hand put under my nose. Suddenly, blood color on his face faded clean. His lips trembling, eyes opened extremely big, eyeballs rapidly climbed full bloodshot. He slowly turned head, look towards Stella. "Just now really used knife hurt you?" Stella stared by his terrible eyes back a step: "Of, of course ah! You look my wound..." "You mean, you just now stabbed by a dead person?" Liam this gaze cold like ice, Stella instant opened big mouth. "She died? How possible? She clearly..." "No, she definitely intentional pretend dead! You not don't know she has mental illness!

Then, Liam he open big eyes look me on ground. "No... impossible! She not dead! Save her! You guys save her ah!" Liam like suddenly wake trapped beast, fierce pounce doctor. "She only twenty-five!
