Liam Was Leaning Against The Wall

saying to her while she was in a coma. She said that she hated him because he made a promise that made her choose between him over her family. He starts yelling at himself on the bridge as she walks off. He tries to accept everything and walks off, but then a little later she comes running to him crying and he asks her how she knew. The both of them end up going back to her place to sleep and to talk about

The emotions he showed was lonely, upset,sad, left-out. In the poem it says “ sometimes when i’m alone I cry because my heart is torn.” And his message was it feels like he's really trying

When I questioned him he was quick to admit that he had done it but

“I couldn't joke about the person who'd saved me from facing absolute heartbreak at home, who fed my family boxes of sweets,who ran to me worried that I was hurt if I asked for him. A month ago, I had looked at the TV and seen a stiff, distant, boring person-someone I couldn't imagine anyone loving. While he wasn't anything close to the person I did love, he was worthy of having someone to love in his life.”

“But he had began, suddenly, to feel happy. He began to call happy times. He remembered his parents and his sister. He remembered his friends, Asher and Fiona. He remembered the Giver.” pg 177

Rob blamed his ex-girlfriends for all his breakups and to him, it was never his fault. Rob viewed himself as the victim but after his breakup with Laura, he seeks out answers to why all of his relationships failed. His high school girlfriend, Penny Hardwick was one of the first girlfriends to break his heart. In Rob’s eyes, she was a prude. Never did she ever want to do something sexual or intimate and Rob even said in the film,“I wasn’t interested in Penny’s nice qualities, just her breasts, and therefore she was no good to me.” Because of this, Rob broke up with Penny and not long after they broke up, Penny went and slept with another guy. This hurt Rob and left him feeling betrayed and unwanted by Penny. When Rob and Penny go out to dinner together as Rob seeks out as to why she did that, Penny describes how she was so heartbroken when he dumped her, that she essentially allowed her next boyfriend to rape her, proceeding to storm out of the restaurant in tears. After meeting with Penny, he realized a lot of his failed relationships was his fault and was just a jerk to some of the women he dated, but he was so heartbroken that it lead to him placing the blame on others and overlooking the negative aspects of himself. Once he analyzed all of his relationships, Rob learned a different lesson from each breakup, allowing him to better himself and hopefully build a future with

Jackson started out with “tragedy [that] left deep scars on [his] personality. The loss of his brother Hugh caused him to confront the possibility of death at an early age. His mother and remaining brother had calmed his fears. Now they too were suddenly gone, leaving him no protection against awful finality of death” (10). Jackson from those moments always had trouble dealing with his emotions.

While he ran, his thoughts involuntarily turned to the first time he'd kissed her. No, not the first time (the memory was too overcome by guilt to be anywhere near pleasant), but after the deed was done, when he had finally seen her face for the in the light of sobriety, and she was breath-taking.

Having never experienced a positive way to express his feeling in his childhood it caused him to be so cold and empty in side. He was as inhuman and void of emotions as his small childhood pet.

He however was a trainwreck. The withdrawn son. High School Dropout. He was nothing and when they first collided, they were as well matched as like oil and water. And so she set out to fix him and turn him into her perfect person. She saved him from a life of mediocrity and everyone knew that, it was all the town ever talked about. Quinn and Daniel. Daniel and Quinn. Everyone could see their future together as it began to unfold. Marriage. Babies. Grandchildren. The whole nine yards. She changed him and in the process, she gave him all of her, the real, the fake, everything. And after she went through all the trouble of fixing his life, he found someone else to light up his eyes and heart. But he still came back to her each and every night, giving her the leftover pieces that his mistress hadn’t already taken from her.

Liam looked up at his older sister. It was true, it's no secret that Scarlett is obsessed with quotes and it just so happened to be that one quote that she would say to him every night, before he goes to sleep. Though, no matter how many times he heard it, he still never got the meaning of it. So, being tired of not knowing, he finally asked, "What does that mean Scar?"

“The betrayal meant he couldn't trust her anymore, and his heart told him he couldn't forgive her.”

and he became bitter and spiritless. Then he develops a special bond with Phoebe. Despite the

Liam is alone in his house at the end of the episode; his wife and child gone. Because of her past affair with Jonas, he pushed her away, but, despite all of this, he still loves her. The lyrics of “I Need U” mirror Liam’s conflicting emotions: The situation in the lyrics is strikingly similar to what Liam is going through. His wife hurt him by cheating on him, but he can’t stop thinking about her, shown by his flashbacks at the end of the episode. These conflicting emotions are caused by simultaneously hating his wife and loving the pleasant memories he had with her. The picturesque past is haunting him, which leads him to take drastic measures. In order to erase these, now painful, memories, Liam cuts out his grain. Looking at “I Need U,” the characters here also try to destroy their memories. Jimin burns mementos while sitting in the bathtub, and Taehyung crumples a photograph. These characters want to erase these moments that were once so important to capture. Meanwhile they sing “memories crumble like dried flower petals,” as if the memories are deteriorating on their own. It’s in the nature of a memory to fade like this, but in Liam’s world, if they want to get rid of a memory, they have to actively kill it. For Liam and the characters in “I Need U,” the memories are “crumbling” because the mere existence of them urges the characters to destroy them.

Even in her state of anger she cannot help but once again be the restrained and subdued one in their relationship. Despite all of the happiness she has found with Rochester she still cannot bring herself to stay in a relationship in which she sacrifices part of herself, because she doesn’t know how to reconcile her need feel like she belongs and is taken care of while at the same time remaining uncorrupted.
