It was dark but the street lights were on. It was light enough for Belle to see the person walking in front of her.She was looking at the person very closely, trying to recognize his face.

He was walking away from her in the opposite direction. Something inside her told her to stop him or she would regret it all her life.

She took some steps towards him but he walked few more steps away from her.

"Listen to me, " she shouted, trying to gain his attention.

As soon as he heard her voice he stopped walking. His back was towards her. She walked slowly towards him.

For some odd reason, he was feeling uneasy and nervous. She licked her lips a few times to moisten them a little.

The person didn't move an inch. Belle slowly moved her hand towards his back. She tightened her grip around his shoulder and slowly turned him around.

She saw his face under the yellow street light. She immediately recognized him. Her legs felt weak she could feel her heartbeat loudly. A wave of emotions struck her body. She wanted to cry, to scream but nothing came out of her mouth, hot tears were continuously coming out of her eyes.

His gaze was making her weak but the face showed no expression. He was quiet and firm, slowly moved his hand where she was holding him and gently grabbed her hand and freed himself from her grip. Belle was still crying without making a noise but she knew very well why would he do that.

He started walking in the opposite direction.

"Don't leave!" she whispered helplessly.

"Please, don't go. Please! I beg yo-"She stopped pleading when she realized he wasn't listening.

"Drake!" she shouted.

Suddenly something bright struck her eyes.She opened her eyes to see Elizabeth standing in front of her.She was standing close to the switchboard Belle's room was bright.

"Are you okay?" Elizabeth asked making her way towards her.

Belle nodded in reply. She touched her face; it was all wet. Elizabeth slowly stroked her hair while hugging her tightly.

"Relax." she said with a smile and turned off the lights.

It was the third day she saw Drake in her dreams.It wasn't like one of the good dreams. They were mostly nightmares.

From the day Belle heard him confess, Drake is always the one leaving or going away from her in her dreams .She always trying to stop him but no matter what she did, he left in the end.

After having the nightmare. She didn't sleep for a second.Her mind was filled with so many questions.

What was going on? Why were she having such weird nightmares?

Is it because of what happened between her and Keiran?

She shook her head to clear her mind from such thoughts. It was almost time for school. She followed her daily school routine.

She entered the school building and a weird anxious feeling hit her this time.She didn't know how to act in front of Keiran.After the awkwardness, how was she going to face him? Even though Keiran thought, Belle didn't hear his confession that day but still it was hard for Belle to pretend that she didn't hear him.
