Stuck With Two (Under MAJOR editting)

Chapter 40- The Nightmare

As the cab arrived, I sat in. I hope Shane is alright. I can't even call him, My phone is dead. UGH!!! I don't know why am I acting like this. I am mad at him but at the same time I am worried about him. I can't just stay mad at him. Even if I am, my heart tells me to forgive him!!!! Argh!!

That dream was weird. I don't remember what happened exactly but I felt Shane was in trouble. He is totally not fine. Dreams are usually not true but what if mine is? What if he is hurt or something? Why the hell am I so worried? Chill Erika. Chill. 

Breathe in. Breathe out.

The car stopped suddenly.

'What happened?' I snapped at the driver.

'The car ran out of gas.' He said.

'FUCK.' I said and got out of the car. I started running towards home. My heavy school bag still hung on my back. I was panting like crazy. My legs. Ugh!!!! I am not much of a sporty girl!

In fact I am more like the girl who likes to spend her day just laying on the bed and stuffing food in her face.

Finally I reached home. My body sighed with relief. I patted myself. After all I ran all the way home. This is a really big achievement for me. 

I searched my bag for the key. WHERE IS THE DAMN KEY!!! I lifted up the flower pot and found a key. Thank god dad keeps a key here. 

I entered the house and climbed up to Shane's room. I burst inside his room. I saw his room messed up. Books were on the floor, the posters on his wall were torn, the photo frames were on the floor some of them were even broken. My eyes fell on Shane who was panting and shaking on his bed. He was trying to say something. I really don't understand what he is trying to say. But he does look scared.

I sat on his bed and held his hand.

'Shh.' I said and ran my hand through his hair. No use.

'I, I' He stuttered and sat up.

'It's alright it was just a nightmare.' I said patting his back.

'But! That thing!!!!!' He said panting. There was a look of terror on his face.

A tear ran out his left eye, I wiped his tear and said 'It was a bad dream, Shane.' I said pushing back a bunch of hair from his face. His hair grew a lot. He doesn't even trim his hair. BOYS.

'I can't let tha-that happ-happen to her.' He stammered.

'What is happening to whom?' I asked.

'E-erika.' He managed to say.

'First of all, She is alright. Second Calm down.' I said sternly

He looked at me with teary eyes.

'Sh-she is?' he asked.

'Yeah she is.' I said with an assuring smile.

'How do you know?' he asked. He was a little calmed down now.

'I just know.' I said with a smile.

'It was just a nightmare.' I said patting his shoulder. He laid his head on my cross-legged feet. He interlocked his fingers with mine. Ugh. I wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was sleeping peacefully now. I looked around the room. This is a mess.

I removed his head from my lap and placed it on a pillow. I arranged his room and charged my phone. I went downstairs to eat something. I am hungry. No kidding. If something doesn't go down my throat in the next one minute, I am gonna die.
