Dusk Till Dawn (A Liam and Ally Story)

Chapter 85

I enter the house after having a long day of thoughts and traffic. What Troy said and what Liam said filled my mind the entire day. Liam said if he loved me, he would've told me the truth. Troy said that Liam and Kris were just one person. That clearly isn't true. I know who is who, I think.

But there is still a slight doubt of uncertainty. I know I might just lie to myself and believe that Liam is Liam and Kris is Kris, but my heart is telling me that I was wrong. Every time I am with Kris, I get this feeling inside of me, like a connection. I don't know how to explain, but that's how I felt with Liam in the beginning. He has made me nervous, but ever since I got to know him, he's been my white in shining armor. He saved me a couple of times. And he lied to me about a lot of things. This could be one of them. And if it is, how come?

Liam isn't Liam. I know that for sure. Kris acts like Liam, but he isn't? If someone asks me a couple days ago if I knew the difference between Kris and Liam, I can give the answer, but now...it's totally different. I've stated this once, and I'll state it again: it's like Liam and Kris switched personalities. Liam hates me. Kris sticks up for me. There is just no answer I can give at this moment.

I hear a nice guitar playing. I feel like I heard this song before. Like a couple months ago.

I follow the sound up the stairs and into a room. The room was open, but I didn't go in. I stand by the door and listen to the beautiful tune. I close my eyes and lean against the wall. Chills run down my spine as the memories refresh in my mind.

I checked my phone and saw that it was already nine. I decided that it was time for me to get into the shower. I stood up and headed to grab a towel, but I heard a guitar playing. I followed the sound of it and it led me to Liam's room.

I saw him sitting on a chair. His back faced me. I stood by the door and admire his skills on the guitar.

I sank into the music. It was a beautiful tune that I could listen to everyday and wouldn't get bored of it.

It was Liam's tune. How can I forget? I open my eyes once more and see someone sitting on the bed, holding a guitar in their arms as they continue to strum.

I knock on the door. They turn around, revealing to be Kris. He gestures for me to come in. I enter the room. "Hey," I greet.

He clears his throat and smiles at me gently. "Hey," he greets back.

"I'm sorry for leaving you at the hospital," I said. "I just had to clear my head."

"It's okay," he says. "I know what happened."

I widen my eyes, surprised. "You do?"

He nods his head before coughing in his elbow. He explains, "Don't take Liam's words literally. Some of them are not even his. Rather, they are whatever his condition is, and I straighten things out with him."

I didn't know whether to be scared or relieved. What did he mean when he said straighten things out? "What did you do?" I ask.

"Let's just say he understands you better," he replies. He gives a few more coughs.

I take a step closer to him and rub his back. "Are you feeling alright?" I ask. I touch his forehead and feel it warmer than usual. "Kris, your head is warm."

"I'm just running a little fever," he says. "I should be better by tomorrow morning."

"You should get in bed," I said. "I will go get you some medicines."

I trot down the stairs and search for Jen. She wasn't in the kitchen nor the living room. I walk to the dining room and see Jen sweeping the floor. "Hey, Jen," I greet.
