They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 25

Haha so I'm in a REALLY good mood and that might just be because I have m&m cookie dough orrr this book has over 2,000 veiws!!! Hmm such a mystery..Now I know that actually isn't a lot but hey I'm a proud girl over here so don't be a party pooper! Thanks for everything guys! :)

I'm happy. I really truly am. And from the looks of it, everybody shares in my joy. After my little speech we continued on with the uplifting dinner and board game tournament. The sky was only really turning dark when I begin feeling sick again. 

"Ohhh! I needa grab the mail, see if anyone's present came." I wink mysteriously, pulling on rain boots and running out the door. As soon as it's shut behind me I grab my rolling stomach and groan before continuing out to the black box. We have a mail slot which I think is really cool but I guess Mr. Grumpy Postman didn't agree with my veiws.

I'm ruffling through all the college letters, a hard brown box shoved in my other arm, when I realize Liam's waiting for me on the small pile of bricks I call my porch.

"What's crackalackin'" I try to wiggle my eyesbrows and he laughs at my failure. I join in quickly, my flipping stomach protesting with my sides quickly after.

"Just needed some air I guess." He shrugs, his eyes searching my face before lifting to the sky.

"Yeahh..Little clastrophobic in there eh?" I climb the two steps to stand next to him but he slumps to the ground sitting immidiatly. His hand brushes my arm as he sits and I sigh, plopping down on the cold snowy surface next to him. It hadn't snowed in a little but the powdery dust lingered wherever the cold could support it. So almost everywhere still.

"Nahh. It's homey." The word sounds so weird with his accent and I suppress a smile. Liam's warm arm wraps around and I feel like I'm back on that bench. I want to hear what he was saying. Or maybe I don't. Maybe my imagination makes it better than reality.

"Can I sing to you?" He whispers into the cold brisk air, creating small clouds around our heads before they dissapear all together.

"Sure." I drag out the word soflty, I'd never actually heard him sing really. I mean who hadn't heard one of their many hits yeah? Well I was more of those non-radio ipod listeners so maybe only twice....and I'm not really sure which voice was even his it was that long ago.

"Shut the door

Turn the light off

I wanna be with you

I wanna feel your love

I wanna lay beside you

I cannot hide this

Even though I try"

My breath hitches as his silky smooth voice fills the empty night air. He's better than I ever would have thought and I had assumed he was at least pretty good. This must be the song Emily had told  me about though.

"Heart beats harder

Time escapes me

Trembling hands

Touch skin

It makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face"

My mind begins to overthink every word coming out of his mouth and I close my eyes. This is Liam. He is sitting next to me. His beautiful voice fills my ears and I lean against his vibrating chest.

"If we could only have this life

For one more day

If we could only turn back time
