ACIS' POV

"Not yet. Not until you tell me what you're thinking." I smirked and he sighed in defeat. "I was thinking about how you look earlier. The jersey looks great on you, you look great." he said quickly. I looked into his eyes and I see lies. I scoffed and moved closer. "Come on, Harry. You know I can know the truth just by looking in your eyes." I smirked.

"Fine. Fine. I was thinking about you." He raised his hands up and I glared at him. "What about me?"

"I was. I was just thinking about your life, I was thinking about the you before all this!" He whisper-yelled, his eyes speak the truth, he wants to know me. I took a step back and my head dropped down, then suddenly, I raised my head back up, looked at him and smiled. I handed him his drink and I walk past him.

Seconds later, he is already walking by me. "This is what I'm talking about. How you can smile despite everything that experienced, how you can still laugh even so slightly, despite all the sadness you experienced." He blurted out with so much emotion that I stopped walking and looked at him.

'There's no me before this, there's no other Acis. It's just one Acis all along, and if there was, well, she's dead. If you want to know my life's story, I'll tell you sometime, but not here, not now." the corners of my mouth curled up slightly and I lightly hit his arm. "I'll see you soon."

Then I walked away. I didn't think that I ignored him or got mad at him, I just didn't tell him now. Well I smiled at him, lightly, and that means I'm not mad or anything, I hope he knows that. I didn't look back though.

***********************

As I got home, I went straight to my room and laid on my bed. I didn't bother changing my clothes or remove my shoes, I just stayed there for some time, thinking and thinking and thinking. I held my phone and called Liam. I don't know why, but I felt sadness.

"Acis? Hey, I'm sorry I didn't call. I just saw your calls. What is it?" I sighed.

"Is Harry there?"

"What? Yeah, he is. He's in his room, again. He's been like that a few days now, always in deep thoughts like he's solving a puzzle or something. Why?"

"Nothing. I-I , just called to tell you to give my number to him. You know, when duty calls."

"Sure, Ace. I'll tell him. Anything else?" I almost said to bring the phone to Harry. "Can you- ugh, never mind, anyway, thanks."

"Okay, and Acis, you sound really sad, are you okay?" he asked, full of concern.

I closed my eyes and opened them again. "No, of course not, Li. I'm fine, just..just tired you know. I've been thinking a lot and I think that's why." I stopped before my voice can crack and I breathed.

"You sure? Okay, goodnight Ace. Sleep well."

***********

It was this night that I can't seem to sleep peacefully again. It only happens when I overthink my past, or when I remember those times.

Eventually, I got to close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

"Mom! Dad! Please, wake up! Louis, Louis, help me!" I looked back to the man standing by the front door. He looked at me and my parents with pure disgust and hate, then he stared at me.
