this chapter and the next go together

—

Cedric decided to take a small nap after lunch with his father. Again, he lied. He lied and told his father that Adriana ended up staying home because Merci wasn't feeling well.

He didn't know how to tell his father Adriana broke it off with him.

And if he's father asked him how?

He wouldn't know what to say.

Cedric began to doze of and eventually fall asleep.

—

He was in a dark room, with no way of exiting. It was quiet, cold.

Cedric was confused, scared.

"Hello?" his voice echoed throughout the small room.

Then it was silent.

But only for a moment.

Until he heard her.

"Hello, Ced."

"Adriana?"

He couldn't see her, nor himself. He couldn't move, it's as if his feet were glued to the floor. He doesn't even know if she's even near him. For all he knows, it could all be in his head.

But then he heard it again,

"Do you love me, Cedric?" she spoke softly.

Cedric gulped, "What?"

"Do you love me?" Adriana repeated.

"Of course I do, Adriana—"

"Then why did you do it?" she cut him off, "Why did you cheat?"

Once she said that, the room changed.

It changed into a room of mirrors. Cedric was now able to see himself and her. But the room was like a box. It was hypnotizing. She was in every mirror he looked at.

"Why did you do it?"

"Why did you do it?"

"Why did you do it?"

Her voice ringed in his head, gradually getting louder and louder.

"I don't know!" he yelled, "I don't— I don't know."

He could hear her giggling, "Oh, Ced." she cooed, "You do know."

The room went dark again. Cedric heard her skipping around, laughing. The lights went back on but this time, it was a big white room, with only a small mirror on one wall.

"Why did you do it?" she appeared in front of him.

Cedric looked behind her, towards the mirror. Her reflection wasn't there.

But, the question she was asking him, "Why did you do it?" was painted in blood on each wall.

He reached out to her, but his hand went right through her, as if she was a ghost. She smiled and reached out to him. Adriana put her hand on his shoulder, her hand was cold. Cold enough to make Cedric shudder.

Suddenly, the small mirror behind Adriana shattered, although, nothing touched it.

She laughed and started to back away from Cedric. He tried to walk to her but was blocked. He was blocked by something he couldn't see. He wasn't able to move any closer to Adriana.

It was like a force field between the two of them.

He watched as Adriana picked up a large piece of the mirror and held it against her throat. Cedric looked down and ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

"Cedric," she said, "Look at me."

And he did.

He looked up at her, "Adriana please..."

"Why did you do it?"

Cedric shook his head, "I don't know."

Adriana sighed and pressed the glass against her throat, "Wrong answer."

She slid the piece of glass across her throat. Blood escaping her throat and painting the floor red. Her now lifeless body dropped to the ground as blood continued to flow out.

Cedric was at loss of words.

"Why did you do it?"

Cedrics eyes shot open. He looked around his room, sitting up and resting his back against his headboard. He pulled on his hair a bit, still confused on how twisted his dream was. Cedric reached over to his phone and called someone who knew Adriana quiet well, someone who could help him and her.

"Hello?"

"Pansy I need you to come over."
