Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

My mom comes in about five minutes later with a pill. “Don’t be mad. Sweetheart you need to sleep. All this work you’re doing isn’t good for you right now, you need to rest and let your body heal.” She pleads, handing me what I assume is a sleeping pill. I sigh, fucking Mia. I take it from her, promising I’ll take it as soon as I was done with this math assignment. She reluctantly agrees and walks away letting me finish. I set it on my side dresser, having no intentions of taking it. I need to stay aware; I can’t risk sleep right now.

I put my headphones in and get back to work, I don’t stop til I see a figure standing in front of me. I pull my headphones out of my ears quickly and shuffle to the head of the bed as far away from the figure as possible. My body groans and I wince at the pain of the sudden movement. I don’t even know who it is, my flight reflex just overpowering me. Once my body finally comes back to me, I start to focus on who’s in front of me. “What the fuck are you doing in here, Liam?” I yell, hoping my mom comes in and kicks him out. He looks so hopeless, he glances over at the pill sitting on my side dresser. Oh, he wasn’t expecting me to be awake, that’s why he’s in here! I pull the blanket over my body, hoping it would provide a little protection, but he just breathes loudly seemingly calming himself and sits down at the foot of my bed.

He looks down at his shoes and runs his hand over his face. Then, he finally looks up at me and speaks, “Why aren’t you sleeping, Amy?” He asks quietly. I don’t answer. He pleads to me with his eyes, but I still don’t speak. He sighs, “Can you at least tell me why you aren’t talking to us.” He seems so lost, like he really can’t understand it. I just stare at him completely on guard, but he doesn’t look like he has any intentions of leaving.

I finally relent, knowing he’s not going to leave until I say something. Still as stubborn as he was as a kid. “Liam, I’m not sleeping because I don’t trust any of you. I want you all to leave. I can’t sleep with you guys here.” I answer, and I see shock in his eyes, then anger. “Well, we’re not leaving. If I just leave Dallas here for protection. Do you think you could sleep then?” He tries to reason. Ha! He’s the last one of them I trust. He was the reason I was able to trust and be friends with them. He was the one that led me into the trap. I never want to talk to him again.

“I don’t want any of you here, but I especially don’t want Dallas. If for some reason you feel I need protection you can leave Cole or Walker. But I still don’t want to talk to any of you. Please leave, Liam.” I plead; his eyes go wide. I feel like those two are the lesser of two evils. I still don’t understand why he feels I need protection; they are the reason for all of this. Even if Liam had no idea about it, if I wasn’t friends with any of them, I don’t think Clara would have gotten so upset.

“Wait, why especially Dallas?” He asks. I don’t answer his question. “Please, just leave, Liam.” I plead feeling the tears start burning the back of my eyes. I refuse to cry though; I can’t let them see what their betrayal did to me emotionally. I can’t hide the physical.

He stares at me like I’m going to break and honestly at this point I might. I’m so tired and having him here is making me think of everything I thought I had. Just like when we were kids, they rip my world out from underneath me. “Okay, I’ll leave, and I promise to just leave Cole or Walker here tonight so you can sleep. But I need to see you take your pill, so I know you will actually get some sleep.” I sigh and relent. I grab the pill and swallow it, but he just keeps staring at me. I roll my eyes and open my mouth and lift my tongue. That seems to satisfy him, and he starts heading for my door. He stops at the frame seemingly wanting to say something but thinks better of it and just keeps walking.

I’m so confused by all of this. Does Liam really not know about Dallas’s setting me up? That would explain why he feels I need protecting. Maybe he really doesn’t know his friend had me set up or who he had beat me. Maybe he really thinks this was random. I inwardly curse myself for making excuses for him. I stand up and look out

the window. I see Liam gather walker and Dallas and Cole stands by my front door. As they start walking away, Dallas looks back, straight at my window. His eyes are so sad, still putting on a show. Wow, if being a gamma doesn’t work out for him, he could always be an actor. I close my blinds and head to my bed.

My eyes clamp shut before I even hit the pillow.
