Dusk Till Dawn (A Liam and Ally Story)

Chapter 38

Two days passed, and Camila and them  arrive safely back home. Camila took my advice. She's hanging out with Zayn from time to time.

I flipped through the channels. Nothing good was on until I saw a glimpse of The Vampire Diaries reruns. I've seen some clips of it from Dinah and Lauren and YouTube, but I never understood the storyline. It seemed like a Twilight tv series, but there was something better to it. I didn't know what it was.

I acknowledge that this was an episode where Katherine was dying. Elena and Katherine are doppelgängers as I understood it, and both dated the Salvatore brothers, but Elena picked Damon over Stefan while Katherine picked Stefan over Damon. In my opinion, I think I preferred Katherine because she knows who she loves more. Elena, although she tries to be fair and I kind of relate to her, can't really choose. I would hate to be in both position.

Dinah joins me and shriek to see this episode playing. "Yay! This is the fifth hundredth episode of the Vampire Diaries. Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah appear."

Dinah switches her favorite Salvatore from time to time. She's very indecisive, but I'm worse. It's very hard for me to choose because they all have their ups and downs. But if I had to really deep down and think, I would be team Stefan. He's just more protective and caring. Damon had those qualities too, but I see it more with Stefan.

Suddenly, my phone rings. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Liam calling me. I slide the green button and placed my phone against my ear. "Hello?" I greeted.

"Hey, Ally," Liam greeted back. "I'm just calling to ask if you would like to accompany me to a party at Ed's Bar and Club. One of my friends is attending, and he would like me to come, but I didn't want to go alone, so would you like to be my partner?"

I thought about it for a short amount of time before replying, "Yeah, Sure."

"Great," He said with a sigh. "I'll pick you and Dinah up tomorrow."

"Okay, but I've never been to a club before?" I asked. It's true. Every time Dinah and/or the girls asked me, I would always decline, but I'm not sure about this time.

"Don't worry about it," Liam said, which made a part of me relieved. "I'll see you and Dinah tomorrow."

"See you later," I said before I hang up. I looked at Dinah and wondered.

Did he already asked Dinah? If so, then why did he invited me? Unless he knows!

No, no. Allyson Brooke Hernandez, you are just thinking too much. He couldn't possibly know that you like him or anything, right?

"Hey, Dinah," I began. "Did Liam asked you to go a party?"

"Yeah, why exactly are you asking?" Dinah questioned.

"Nothing," I shook my head and stood up. "I'm going to take a shower."

I headed into our room and opened up the drawer. I grabbed my pajamas and set it down on the bed before I sat down and thought.

It's only been two days. Two days and I feel so stress. I haven't even seen him since two days ago. There was so many reasons why. But most importantly, I didn't want to get hurt. I could get hurt by not just him but by Dinah. She's my best friend, and if I lose her, I couldn't imagine what life would be like if we were not in likable terms. And being turn down by Liam or even worse, being betrayed by him would hurt the most.

I smiled to myself. Just probably thinking too much. I grabbed my clothes and a towel and headed into the shower. I let the warm water take over my body. Its warmth washed away the negativity for a while.

Once I was done, I dried myself and put on my pajamas. I headed out into the living room and watched, what I believed to be, the final scene of the episode. Elena was injecting Katherine with a syringe and then...

"What the...?" I gasped, wondering what was happening.

Elena woke up from the ground and picked up her phone. There was a girl on the other line and she said something in Latin. Elena's eyes went black before she regain her normal eye color. It took me a while to figure out what happened.

It's when she declared that she was Elena Gilbert and scoffed off that I realize Katherine was Elena.

"Now that's good television right there," I spoke. I've never seen anything like this before. The twist in the end was so unexpected.

I looked at Dinah and she nodded with complete happiness. "I miss this series."

The next day, I was picking out what I was going to wear. I opened up my closet and searched through each piece of clothing. I didn't know exactly what to wear to a club. But I want my clothing to be fun yet mature. I looked at the clock. It's 4:27. I have about ten minutes before Liam comes.

I picked out this yellow dress and blue jacket. I put them on, and I made my hair into a ponytail. I place on a couple of my bracelets and headed out the room. Dinah was by the window, taking a bunch of selfies like always. She had her hair down and curled. She wore a red dress with two inch straps that overlapped each other on the back.

"Ally," she said, before dragging me to to take pictures with her. "Selfie time," she spoke. We both made normal faces before we did some crazy and funny ones.

"Two beautiful young ladies," Aunt Lana complimented. She was sitting on a folding chair in the kitchen, admiring the both of us.

"Aw, Thanks, Auntie," Dinah said.

"Now, where is this party and who's taking you two?" Aunt Lana asked with her parent voice.

I was going to say something, but Dinah interrupted. "It's a birthday party for one of my friends and her brother is picking us up. It's a surprise party."

"Funny, I thought you're only friends were Ally, Normani, Lauren, and Camila and those three are back at your house," Aunt Lana teased.

"Auntie!" Dinah whined, causing Aunt Lana to laugh.

"I'm just kidding," she said. "Have a good time."

There was a knock on the door. I volunteered to open it up. I turned the door knob and pulled it. Liam was at the door, wearing a button up grey shirt with his black jacket and jeans. We made eye contact. "Hi," I greeted with a smile.

"Hello," he responded back with a sweet smile. "Are you girls almost done?"

"Yeah," I replied, taking a few steps away from the door. "You may come in, if you want."

"Thank you," He said, entering the apartment. He tucked his hands into his pockets before greeting Aunt Lana with a hand shake.

"Welcome," she replied. "Take care of these girls. They are beautiful which why you have to watch them carefully. I don't want them to come home with any boys other than you. I trust that you can make that happen. You understand me?"

"Yes ma'am," he answered very confidently. "As long as they're with me, they are in good hands."

She nodded with approval. "Okay, what are you waiting for? Go. Go on and have fun."

"We'll be back by ten," Dinah spoke before we left.

We exit the building. Dinah called shotgun. I hopped to the back seat and buckled up. Liam sat in front of the wheels and started the engine.

"How far is our destination?" I asked.

"Don't worry," Dinah said. "It's only five minutes away."

My eyebrows furrowed, wondering how Dinah knew the time. To my knowledge, she's never been to Long Beach by herself and certainly not a club.

Liam shifted the gear, and we were on our way to Ed's Bar and Club.
