Chapter 29

Ok before i start, lets answer a quick riddle.
I am a child of water but i die slowly when i enter water. What am i?

********👍👍

Liam, Liam...where are you dear

"who is calling Liam so loudly in my dream"i murmured under my breath with my eyes still close.

I made breakfast dear, where are you?

The female voice started to become louder. I could also hear sound of doors shutting.
Why does this dream seem so real. Its preventing me from enjoying my beauty sleep.
I rolled over to the other side of my bed but immediately collided with something hard and soft at the same time. Was there any object like that?
I stood up rubbing my eyes and yawning but my gaze soon shifted to a certain someone on my bed.

"Liam" i shouted but in a hushed tone. He was still fast asleep so i had to shake multiple times to wake up.

"morning babe, are planning to shake the life out of me" he smirked.
"when did we get home, how did i get to my room without remembering, why are you sleeping here? What if your mum or your dad sees us" i bombarded him questions.

"Easy, easy.  One question at a time babe" he smiled "what happened was that your were already asleep when we got home. I didn't want to wake you so i just carried you to your room. When we got here, your were holding on to my shirt really tight and also murmuring something under your breath so i decided to stay over, that's..."

"Liam dear... Darling were are you" the footsteps approached my room. Oh!!! I wasn't dreaming earlier.

"That's my mum""That's your mum" we said simultaneously as we jumped out of the bed.

"go and hide" Liam whispered
"okay" i replied moving towards the wardrobe. "wait..." i stopped on my track "this is my room so you should be the one hiding" i continued.

"Yeah, my bad" he said as the door knob turned open, immediately sending Liam to jump under the bed.

"Jackie, have you seen Liam" she asked looking suspicious.

"No mam" i replied.

"by the way, what was that noise i heard when i came in?"  she looked around the room.

"hmm... I...i was just doing my early morning exercise" i replied jumping, opening and closing my hands and legs. I guess i was trying to illustrate the exercise.

How lame Jackie

"okay, when you're done come down for breakfast. Ill just try calling his cellphone" she smiled turning around to leave while bringing out her phone from her pocket.
If Liam is here, then his cellphone is bound to be here also. My eyes quickly searched for it until i saw it on the bed.
I quickly jumped on the bed and separated the battery from the phone but not before i twisted my ankle.

"his phone is switched off. Ill just wait till he comes back" she smiled before leaving.

I winced in pain as i tried standing up. Liam came out and held my ankle.

"does it hurt" he asked. What kind of question is that?

"No, i just feel ticklish" i rolled my eyes. " what do expect from a broken ankle" i yelled a little bit. I guess I've got anger issues.

"calm down. Its just an harmless question" he said.

"i know. Its just that its hurting a lot and i needed to vent my anger on something. Sorry" I explained.

"its alright. I'll just get some ice" he trailed of.

*******

"what happened to your leg" Mr summers asked.
"i just twisted it while exercising" i avoided eye contact.
"make sure you assist her to her classes today" Mrs summers said facing Liam. "before i forget, were you comfortable under the bed" she smirked.
Omg!!! She caught us. I stuffed my mouth with the sandwich and hurried to the door with Liam assisting me of course.
