Dusk Till Dawn (A Liam and Ally Story)

Chapter 43

Liam's POV

Two hours passed. I was sitting on the couch before Dinah pulled me to the side. She dragged me into an empty hall. Her face was filled with concern.

"Is it just me or is Ally acting different?" Dinah asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah, she has been acting off lately. I'm really worried about her."

"Me too," Dinah said, before realizing something. She gasp heavily and looked at me with astonishment. "Has she done anything that wasn't like her in the passed couple of days?"

"She's been distant and quiet," I answered before going into details. "Yesterday, she burned herself, but she wouldn't let me check it."

Dinah crossed her arms. "Liam, do you know why?" She gave me a look as if to say that she knows but is waiting for my answer. I shrugged after taking a moment to think. "Put the clues together."

I nodded and thought deeply. The last time Ally acted Allyson was before she was at the hospital. I remember the moment I saw her. Dinah and I were dancing, showing a couple of moves to one another, and then, a slow song came. Dinah told me that it was part of the plan. She told me to go with it, and I did. Our fingers intertwined, and she laid her head on my chest, but it didn't feel right at all. I only thought of Ally. We swayed together until I saw her. Ally stared at us dancing, and in the short second, before she turned away, her eyes were reflected by off the lights, showing her tears. I released Dinah and followed Ally; however, she fainted and fear filled me. I rushed through the crowd to get to her. I picked her, removing strands of her hair out of her face and nudged her a little. I called out her name to see if she would respond. There was no answer back, and I knew that I had to take her to the hospital.

After Ally woke up, Dinah pulled me out of the room, and she asked me out. I was confused at her first, but then, Dinah further explained that Ally wanted her to, and that it would be a great way to begin her plan. I was upset to hear that Ally wanted me to be with Dinah, but I wanted to be with her. I knew if I said yes to Dinah, I couldn't possibly go back. I agreed only for the sake of Ally.

Dinah then sets to make it like we were going on dates. However, the times when we came back, we had gotten into funny situations and moments, and that changed my view on Dinah.

After the few nights we had hung out, I would always see Ally waiting out on us unless we had came passed ten. The empty looks she gave us always made me feel guilty although I knew that Dinah and I weren't a thing. And then when I tried to help her with the bowls, she accidentally burned her hand. I grabbed her hand gently, worried. Her hand was burning red. I tried to ease the pain, but she removed her hand.

I couldn't help but fall for her more. It's like the more she resist, the more I like her. And I have no idea why she was acting like this unless...unless it had something to do with Dinah and me. I looked at Dinah and widened my eyes a bit. A part of me was still confused.

Dinah nodded and said, "Ally is jealous of us being together, but she won't admit it."

This does seem like something Ally would do. "Why exactly?" I asked.

Dinah scoffed lightly and shook her head. "You really can't tell?" Dinah questioned. I raised an eyebrow and shook my head. Dinah placed a hand on my shoulder and sigh, "Ally likes you."

As soon as I hear these words, I looked at Dinah as if I just heard something shocking. I grinned but shook my head. "No, it can't be," I told her. "There must be a different reason."

"Why, exactly?" Dinah began, "Ally likes you. She likes likes you. Liam, don't you want to get together with her? Why are you making this difficult. You've already know that she likes you." Her words cannot be anymore true.
