5 It’s Real

I slowly started to wake up as I look to my left and see Liam cuddling me.

"Hey, you're finally up...," Liam slowly sitting up and rubbing his eye.

"Yeah...I am..," I blush wildly.

Liam taking my hand, "Can we get back to where we left off?"

"I-I uhhhhh um....," oh god say something Catherine. Fuck...say no....fuck fuck...

"I-.." Liam grabs my face and gently kisses me again. And I'm gonna be honest..I wanted to kiss him again. All I feel is these emotions I never felt before and...I like it....

Liam pulled away from me and gently cupping his hand on my cheek. Gently pulling away and nervously laugh, "So Liam, are you really..like real..?"

Liam blushes, "Maybe..maybe not. It's your dream"

"But it doesn't make sense, why are you only now popping up in my dreams. I never really experienced this..."

Liam sighs, "Maybe you seen me somewhere in real life or is this your way to escape your reality?"

I look down at my arms and legs, still seeing my scars. I can feel Liam staring at me with this horrible cuts all over my body.

"Look at me beautiful," Liam lifting my chin up. I deeply stare into his blue eyes and smile because I know everything is going to be okay. "Liam...I-"

"CATHERINE WAKE UP AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL!"

I open my eyes and slowly sit up, noticing I was in my bed. I guess my dad carried and tucked me in. I need to shower and get to school.

As I'm heading to school, all I could think about is Liam. Like, come on. He's handsome, kind, sweet and obviously caring. But...he's only real..real in my dream and I need to figure out how is this possible.
