The Bet

Chapter 25

I'm running through the halls of the hospital searching for Liam.
"Where is he!" I scream. I was searching frantically. Tears flowing down my face. I couldn't breathe. People looked at me like I just came out of a psych ward.

Mom was sitting in a waiting room chair crying. "Mom where is he! Is he okay?" I sobbed.

"Oh Kendall no one knows where he is. They found his car but he wasn't in it."

The wind was knocked out of me like a kick in the stomach.

"What do you mean he wasn't in be the car! Where is he? He has to be out there somewhere he said he'll always be there for me!" I screeched.

The memory fades away and I'm in pitch black dark. "Kendall." I hear some one echo. All the sudden I'm in Liam's bedroom. "Geeze Kenny don't you knock first?" I heard a familiar voice. I whipped my head around. Liam is leaning against the wall smirking at me.

"Liam!" I yelled. I lunged towards him and attack him in a hug. He wraps his arms around me. I inhaled his cologne hoping for the scent to never leave.

"I miss so you much." I whispered.

"I miss you too Kenny.." I pulled away to get a better look at him. I never want him to leave me.

"So Adam Foster huh?" He smirked.

"Shut it." I playfully glared. He chuckled a little.

"You're caving for him." Liam smiled. I looked down at the ground.

"I don't want to Liam, I can't make it go away." I said. I buried my head in his chest like a little kid. "I don't want to loose him like I lost you."

"Ken..you haven't lost me you just have to find me."

"What?"

"Come find me." He repeated. Then Liam began to slowly turn transparent.

"No No Liam don't leave me! Liam!"

"I'm always here for you." he whispered.

"Liam!" I said.

I snapped out of my dream. I was in a daze I didn't know where I was. I took a look at my surroundings.

"Kendall! Kendall!" Adam said.

He was shaking me he was sitting beside me. He would be awake.

"It was just a dream." Adam said soothingly.

His arms were wrapped around me trying to comfort me. "Why are you crying?" He asked.

I noticed a few stray tears on my face wiped them quickly. "I need to go up stairs and get some water." I sniffed. I freed myself from his grasp. At least I know where the kitchen is in this big ass house.

I stood up and walked up stairs to the kitchen. I got glass of water and Adam was staring at me. "What's wrong?" He asked me concerned filled his deep blue eyes.

"Nothing you should get some sleep.." I shrugged him off. I turned away from him. Not wanting to look in his eyes. I finished my water and was about to go back downstairs.

"Kendall." Adam called.

I ignored him I was about to make my way downstairs but Adam grabbed my hand.

"Adam just let me go." I pleaded. I didn't want to deal with this tonight. I'm already confused about my feelings for him and he's not making any better.

"No I'm not letting you go." He said firmly.

"Why!" I asked. "Why do you care so much?" He grabbed my arms so I couldn't go anywhere.

He looked down. "Just because."
"Now I'm not letting you go."

I tried to struggle away from his grasp but Adam's grasp was too tight he scooped me up bridal style like I weighed nothing at all. "Adam! Put me down!" I ordered.

"No."

He sat down on the couch with me being held by him. "Adam. Let. Me. Go."

I was wearing a thin undershirt and pajamas shorts. I wrapped my arms around myself.

He takes off his shirt reveling his god like muscles. I kept staring but I tore my eyes away from him. I mentally scolded myself. "Put it on." He demanded.

"No you need it."

"Kendall just put on the damn shirt." He handed it to me.
He let me go and I put on the shirt reluctantly and it covered my body down to my knees. It was deep blue with faded letters.

"Now come here."

He scooped me up from underneath and held me. "Adam-"

"No Kendall just let go."

"Adam I can't."

"Can't  what? Let me hold you? To show you how much-" he cut himself off. I looked at him he looked away from me.

"How much what?" I asked.

"Nothing." He sighed.

He held me closer where our skin touched. I probably look like a mess my hair is out it flows out half way down my ass it's been getting longer and longer as the weeks go by.

I was still tense I wasn't going to let go.

"Ken..just let go. It's okay to let go." He stared at me with those eyes of his.

It's not.

Letting go got me in this shit in the first place.

"Adam." I whispered.

I can't fight him right now.
But I can't let go I won't let him win this round.

I can't.

"Let go, just let me hold you." He said softly.

I felt myself relax against my will. He tighten his grip around me. I put my hand to his chest once I did his heart beat faster. I hope he never lets me go.

I smiled slightly and then I felt my eyes begin to grow heavy. My eyes slowly closes. I fall asleep then I feel Adam stand up. I feel like him walking upstairs. Then I lay on something soft and blankets cover me.

"What have you done to me gorgeous?" He whispered. I felt a pair of lips on the corner of my mouth.

That's the last thing I hear before I drifted off into a deep sleep.
