Tangled Ties

Chapter 48: We Found LOVE

"Ellie..." Liam turns to me breaking the hug from Luna.

I didn't respond. I am confused of everything that is happening here.

"Ellie..." Liam cupped my cheeks as I didn't respond. I turn to Luna; she is looking at us with her eyes filled with tears and a small smile in her lips. I can see some kind of pain in her eyes, I couldn't read them.

"Luna..." I call her. I want to know the reason behind her pain.

"It's time for me to leave." Luna answers, dropping few drops of tear from her eyes.

"Where?" I ask.

"Somewhere far..." She replies, not stopping her tears.

"Ellie..." Liam turns to her.

"I love you both." Luna says and right in front of my eyes she disappears into thin air.

"Luna!!!" I shout, hoping she'd come back.

I don't even know her why am I this sad. I feel like I know her from a long time. And when she's no longer with me, I'm feeling like a part of me is gone. I can't help but cry. I let the tears fall down, with a deep pain inside my heart.

"Ellie..." I could see Liam, so worried. He was holding my face, rubbing the tears from my face.

"Liam... she disappeared." I finally spoke.

"Who disappeared?" He asked as if he knew nothing.

"Luna disappeared." I started crying.

"El, you must be dreaming." I heard a girl's voice beside me.

I turned towards her; she was Ariana. Beside Ariana was Hardin, looking at me with the worried face. Then again, I turned to Liam and then the surrounding. I was on the couch, in Hardin's house.

Was it all a dream?

"What happened?" I asked, still crying.

"Ellie..." Liam pulled me in a hug and patted my back. No one spoke anything for few minutes. Liam kept on hugging me until I stopped crying.

"We all were watching movie and you fell asleep. It was fine until you started making weird sound. You looked so scared in your sleep, you were all sweating and panicking. We tried to wake you up but you didn't. You even started crying, worrying all of us." Hardin said.

"Was it that nightmare?" Ariana asked, passing me the water.

"It was." I nodded.

"What nightmare?" Liam asked, looking at me.

"But it was different this time." I said, drinking the water.

"Come on tell us everything." Ariana held my hands.

"Let me freshen up first." I said, wiping the tear stains.

"The bathroom is there." Hardin said, pointing towards a door.

"Thanks." I said and stood up.

"Let me come with you." Ariana said.

"No, I'm okay. I'll be back." I said and went to the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked miserable.

So, it was that nightmare again. Why do I have this? But why was it different this time? That girl never used to tell who she was, but today so much happened. Liam was there too. Is this dream a sign or what? Her face is still so clear in my face. Her words are still playing on my mind.
