Fate's Identity

Chapter 11

Liam's POV

My eyes cringe. My ears were waking me up to the sound of a cry. I slowly turn back and see Ally's back facing me as her head moves back and forth. I prop my hand against the mattress and reach my hand on her shoulder. She was still in the same position. I pull myself up and scoot closer to her. I hear her speak, "I want to be here with you. Why can't I be here with you?"

My brows crease. I shake her shoulder a little bit. "Ally," I whisper.

She was still in the middle of her dream, whatever it was. I lean over her and observe her face. Her eyes were shut. Cheeks were bloody red. Sweat was devouring her. "Ally," I said with a higher whisper.

She begins to cry out. Literal tears stream down. "Liar!" She exclaims, beginning to move her arms. "Let me go! Let me go!" Her hands punch my shoulders several times. She had more strength than I thought.

I grab a hold of her hands, but she struggles to set them free. "No, no, no..." She said. She squirms in her position.

"Ally," I whisper. I slip my hand under her back and pull my back against the wall as she struggles in my arms. "Ally. I got you. I got you."

She shakes her head, letting out a loud cry. "I miss you. I just want you to be with me. You promise."

I release her hands and wrap my arms around her tightly. She continues to hit me but this time on my chest. "You promise! Why did you lie to me?!" She strikes me one more in the gut.

"No one's going to hurt you," I tell her, hoping she would hear me. "I'm here. I'm here. I won't desert you."

I endure her multiple punches. She was stress. I can tell. Who abandoned her? It could be her parents or maybe an ex-lover. But she doesn't deserve this. Ally, out of anybody that I've seen, has this spirit inside of her that made me felt alive, you can say. It woke me up ever since I laid eyes on her at her dad's birthday party. Her sweet and cute personality attracted me.

But I feel like she hates me sometimes. The way she conserves herself around me. She doesn't allow me to touch her, and I do get that maybe she is one of those people who want to wait until marriage, and I respect that completely, but I've seen her hang around with Niall. I've seen him drag her to places, holding her hands. It's crazy to think that because they are best friends, but from what I've seen from Niall, the way he looks at her seems to be way more than friendship. It appeared he had a crush on her or something. But then something happened, so he's dating Normani. However, he seems to love Ally more than Normani.

And then there is Ally with her back. I've seen her stumble a lot because of her back. I've seen it a couple days ago and the other night.

The night I cheered her up because she looked depress. The whole day is a memory I will never forget. Her light outshined every other fireflies there was. And I had a goal. I set a goal that night to make Ally smile. Her happiness somehow completes me. And I will admit, not out loud, that I am falling for her. Even when she pushed me away or when she doesn't allow me to hold her, it makes me more attracted to her.

I feel my eyelids heavy and my heart pumping in my chest. My hand slips off of Ally's arm, and my eyes glue shut.
...
The bright light in the room blinded my sight. I slowly open my eyelids and notice I was in a cabin. Something heavy was laying on my chest, so I begin to sit straight up against the wall I was leaning against. I feel the heavy thing lifting from my chest. I lower my head, and my eyes meets Ally's open ones. She was awake and more confused than ever. Her eyes widen before she sits up with her back facing me. She hold onto her arms.

"Ally, I'm sorry," I said, remembering distinctly what happened last night.

She darts her eyes back on me and says, "It's alright. As long as we didn't do anything, it's alright." She lowers her head.
