Fate's Identity

Chapter 31 (Part IV)

Ally's POV

I don't know how I feel about this necklace. Less than four hours ago, he told me about the deal, and I agree, but I didn't think it would be this quick. I don't feel like our relationship is rushing, but I feel like everything is happening so fast. The necklace is beautiful and extraordinary, along with the red gem's history. I think it's just me.

I travel with my sisters while the guys except Niall - who was standing by Normani - follow us behind. The stars were already aligned in the night sky.

"We should go to the Merry-Go-Round," Dinah suggests.

"No, the teacup," Lauren says. "Merry-Go-Round is too slow for my taste."

Dinah rolls her eyes. "You have terrible taste," she says. "Merry-Go-Round is the perfect way to end the night."

"Guys," Normani intercedes, "How about we go to the teacup first and then the Merry-Go-Round?"

"Excellent," Camila says.

Lauren and Dinah shake their head, disapprovingly. They spoke in unison, "Not a chance."

Normani turns to me and asks, "What do you think?"

I shrug. "I don't know. I'm good with anything," I said.

Normani turns back to the others, and they have a discussion of their own, including Niall. I take a step back to let them decide. I shift my eyes back to the guys and crease my brow, seeing Liam absent. I turn to my left and see Liam by a sign on the fence for the teacups. Our eyes meet, and he points to the sign.

I shake my head, causing him to nod contrastively. I still went with my answer.

Liam wets his lips and runs up to me. I stop in my tracks and waited until he caught up to me. "What's wrong with the teacups?" He asks as we begin to walk once more.

"I don't know," I respond. "My stomach hasn't settle in the food we just ate."

Liam cocks his head and says, "Come on, nothing bad is going to happen. The worst thing that could happen is you puking on me."

"That will be the bad thing," I pointed out.

"I won't judge," he smiles.

My eyebrows crease. "It's not a joke, Liam. I don't want the night to end like that."

He grabs my hand, and I turn my body to face him. "It won't," he assures me. He leans his head and searches for my eyes. "Okay? And if it does, so what? Nothing will stop me from seeing you."

I consume the air slowly, nodding slowly. "I guess so," I reply.

Liam releases my hand, and we rush to the others.

"Okay, fine," Lauren says. "We can ride both, but the teacup has to come first."

Dinah sighs heavily. "Okay, whatever," she says.

We walk back to the teacup, and since there was hardly a line, we all had to wait shortly before we were allowed to enter.

Dinah's eyes wonder around the teacups. "Guys, I think one of us has to sit out unless they mind riding with other people," she says. And then she raised her index finger. An idea shoots in her head. "I can sit out," she says.

"Okay then," Lauren replies as Dinah walks off.

My eyes dart to a teacup Liam and Louis resided in. Liam gestures his hand for me to join. I smile and begin walking over to them. Not a second too soon, I hear Niall calling out for me, "Ally, come here." I turn the opposite direction and see Niall, Normani, and Camila in a teacup together. My smile turns into a nervous one.
