Limitless

Chapter 28

Zoe's P.O.V:

We took a walk to the beach where we sat down for a while.


"It's so cold, you can really tell it's autumn now" I sighed and hugged myself to stay warm.


"It's only cold in the mornings though" Niall smiled and moved closer to me. He put his arm around me.


"You don't have to" I laughed trying to not chatter.


"I want to" he winked and held me tighter.


"Alright" I tried to shrug in his tight grip but failed miserably. I didn't think he noticed though.


He looked out to the water. It was foggy outside and you could feel it was wet in the grass.


"I want to ask you something" Niall suddenly said and turned his head to me again.


"Okay" I nodded listening.


"I've thought of it for a long time now, but I haven't been sure of what you think of me" he bit his lip.


"Go on" I laughed worriedly.


"I kind of like you a lot, which you already know" he took a deep breath. "I want you to be my girlfriend" he continued.


I froze when I heard the last word. Did he really just ask me that? I didn't know what to answer because I barely knew this guy. Well he was my best friend, but still..


"I.." I started and licked my lower lip. "I don't kn-" I shrugged unsure what to say.


"I'm sorry, it was stupid" he stood up quickly and walked away.


"Niall" I sighed and ran after him. "I just think it's too early" I stood in front him. "You know" I looked him in the eyes trying to figure out what he was thinking.


"Just forget I asked you, please" he begged.


"It's not that I don't want to" He looked to the ground when I tried to meet his gaze. "I like you too" I continued and turned around to walk away. He stopped me just as I was about to start walking.


"Then why can't you be my girlfriend?" He sounded frustrated and mad.


"You know why.." I blinked.


"Don't tell me this is about Harry because if it is I swear I'm.." He yelled angrily. He sounded so upset.


I didn't feel like answer him so I just stood there looking down towards the ground.


"I'm not scared of him" he almost whispered as he lifted my chin up.


"I don't want him to hurt you" i replied as a tear fell down my cheek.


"I-" he started but cut himself off. "There's something you need to know about me"


"Okay" I looked him in the eyes and I saw a kind of fear I had never seen before. "What is it?" I asked worriedly.


"I think you'll have to sit down" he said quietly and leaded me to the bench a few meters away from us. He sat me down holding his hand on my shoulders. He took a few steps backwards and looked down towards the ground.


"What is it?!" I exclaimed. I was scared, I didn't know if I really wanted to hear this, or see this? I swallowed and stared at him as he just stood there. He took a deep breath and looked up at me.


"Okay" he breathed loudly. "When you'll hear this, promise to not run away from me" he said seriously and looked straight into my eyes.


"It depends" I shrugged, my heart started beating faster.


"I need you to promise me" he stood there showing no emotions at all. He just stared at me with emptiness in his eyes.


"Okay, I promise" I replied and nodded.


"I am not a normal guy" he started.


I looked at him weirdly and nodded to him to go on. I could see that he swallowed.


"I have some kind of superpower that nobody else than me has got"


I wanted to laugh but he seemed so serious. I couldn't first believe what he told me but I tried to.


"I was born with it and I've learned to handle it" he stroke his hand through his hair. "When I was kid I didn't really know how to handle it, I had to fight but after a while I found a way to handle it"


I didn't know what to say or do so I just sat there looking at him whilst he was telling me that he wasn't a normal guy. I didn't really understand anything though.


"In second grade something awful happened" he blinked and looked up to the sky. "We moved to the US but returned to Ireland two years later"


"Wait you said you hadn't been here before..?" I looked at him wonderingly. He just nodded.


"I lied" he bit his lip.


"Why?"


"I think you can figure that out when I'm done with my story" he laughed.


"Okay.." I raised my eyebrows and glared at him. "Now tell me about your superpower" I said eagerly.


"I'm really strong, and I can feel what other people feel" he got back to his serious mode.


"Then why did you let Harry beat you up?!" I almost yelled and stood up. "Don't you realize that he could've killed you?!"


"It's not that easy" he sighed. "You know, you're the first one that I ever tell this to" he looked at me.


"He could've killed you.." I repeated and sat down again.


"Zoe, I di-" he started but I jumped up and held my hand onto his mouth.


"I don't want to hear" I whispered.


"Are you sure becaus-" he talked from under my hand.


"I'm sure" I cut him off again.


I took my hand off his mouth and he opened it to speak again. "I'm sure" I repeated and he just laughed at me.


"I was going to ask you if you had changed your mind" he looked at me wonderingly.


I swallowed and sighed. I looked down towards the ground and smiled to myself, then lifted my head up again so I faced him.


I smiled and then kissed him quickly. As I was about to pull away he drug me against him again and kissed me passionately. It was like I never wanted it to end.


"Is that a yes?" He smiled as we pulled away.


I smiled and nodded. "Sure" I bit my lip.
