A Drop in the Ocean (Liam Payne)

Chapter 9

Liam's POV

.

"LIAM! LIAM! LIAM!" I heard again in a blood curdling scream.

"ANNABELLE! WHERE ARE YOU?" I screamed from the top of my lungs. I couldn't see her yet again. This time I was in the school. It was dark and I could barely see.

"LIAM! LIAM! LIAM!" I heard again.

"ANNABELLE?" I screamed again.

.

I had started to have these dreams often. I had decided to write down the date and what it was like, since it was a recurring dream.

.

Annabelle's POV

.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure." It was April and the weather was warm. Liam and I had walked home everyday together since he first came here.

"Why are you wearing sweatpants? It's so warm out."

"Oh uh my mom didn't have any of my shorts washed. She's been gone on a business trip." I said smiling at him. It wasn't a total lie. My mom was gone on a business trip, the other part was a lie. Spencer had shoved me down the stairs the other day. I had bruises all over my knees and all over my legs. Somehow I covered my face so it didn't get beat up as well.

"What do you like to do in your free time?"

"I like to read. Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course!" He said while smiling.

"Why do you ask so many questions?" He began to laugh and replied with,

"You're funny Annabelle Jacobson. Did you know that?"

"I'm not funny." I said seriously.

"Yes you are! Why don't you think so?"

"Because Spencer doesn't." I said too quickly without thinking.

"Spencer's a jerk..."

"Liam!"

"Well I just don't understand why you're with him. You never hug and he never holds your hand. If I was your boyfriend I wouldn't ever let go of your pretty little hand..."

"Liam..."

"I'm sorry. I know you love him, but I just don't understand. You deserve better."

"I will admit that Spencer has good intentions and a good heart, but sometimes his mind just gets in the way."

"Annabelle-"

"Anna." I said cutting him off.

"What?"

"You can call me Anna."
