Four months passed without any nightmares, hallucinations and creepy feelings. Adam didn't feel the compulsion to take another life. He would go to college, come back straight to his home and watch some movies in Netflix and then would go for evening stroll and later buries himself inside his textbooks. This was what that happened in the last four months. He didn't have any friends in college; he never uttered a word to anyone. Everyone called him The Boring Nerd so they never tried to accompany him either. But he was the crush of many girls in his college; he acted like he didn't know it and went ahead as the Boring Nerd.

Unlike any other students of his age, he didn't have to do a part time job to balance his college as well as living expenses. His parents had deposited a large sum of money in both his and Lily's account when they were young; Lily's money was transferred to his account after her death. He had also won a scholarship because of his academic excellence. So he had a very comfortable college life financially.

One day when he was listening to one of the boring lectures by Prof. William, that same pain came back; an unendurable nasty pain as though someone has pierced an iron rod through his head. He shut his eyes tightly and tried to breathe normally, it wasn't working. Adam rotated his neck slowly; the pain was getting worse, worse than the first time. He pressed the sides of his head with both his hands for the pain to stop, but it didn't. Suddenly his vision began to blur.

When he opened his eyes, he was in his bedroom. Adam rose up in his bed and looked the whole place, he noticed a girl in his room, looking the woods from his bedroom window. He blinked his eyes several times to get a clear vision. He watched her clothes for a while and suddenly hopped up from his bed,

"Lily?"

That girl turned to face him. It was indeed Lily, looking so beautiful and naïve_ just like the way she was when she was alive. She gave him a cute little smile. Adam ran forward and hugged her tightly. Her body was cold as ice.

"Lily, I've missed you a lot." He told her without letting her go from his hug.

"I've missed you too Adam."

"Lily, please don't go. I don't want this to be a dream; I want this to happen in real." He started crying.

"This is a dream Adam. I will never be able to come back to you."

"I came to tell you one thing." She said. Adam looked at her wonderingly.

"What is it?"

"I want a baby's heart." Then she slowly started to fade away.

"No...NO. Lily Please come back. Please..." He tried to hold her but she faded away.

He felt immense pain transferred from his head to his heart. It was unendurable. I lied in the floor and started screaming in pain.

"Adam, Are you okay?"

"Open your eyes." He felt someone tapping his cheek.

"Adam, open your eyes." He heard Prof. Daniel's worried voice. He opened his eyes but his vision was vague. He blinked his eyes several times, everything became clear. He was lying in the floor of his classroom; a group of students have gathered circled him to see what happened, Prof Daniel has kneeled down to check on him. He tried to sit up.

"Relax Adam."

"Are you okay?" He asked.

He answered 'yes' faintly, that pain has not gone yet. It was still there. As he tried to stand up, he felt like some force was pulling him back to the floor, he collapsed again. He pressed his hands in his head again.

"What happened to me?" He asked faintly.

"You fainted Adam." Prof. Daniel said while trying to give his back support to sit up straight.

Soon he felt a thick liquid oozing out from his nose; he covered his nose using his fingers. Bright red blood started dripping out_ everyone saw it. The pain vanished from his head, Adam was happy to see it but everyone became anxious.

"Adam, your nose is bleeding." Prof. Daniel said. 

He quickly ran out from there. 

Prof. Daniel walked towards him when he saw Adam sitting in the library. He was worried about him, Adam was his favorite student and he was always astonished by his academic excellence.

"Adam, how do you feel right now?"

"I'm fine sir."

"Does it happen before?" He asked. Adam knew what he meant.

"Yes. This is the second time sir."

"And did you consult a doctor?"

"No sir."

"Why?" Prof. Daniel asked raising his right eyebrow. Adam didn't say anything.

"Adam, I know how brilliant you are. It'sevident from your answer sheets but you don't have to stress so hard to proveyourself. Tryto enjoy your college life Adam; it's never going to happen twice. I've never seen you talking with anyone nor engaging in any sort of co curricular activities."

"I will...try sir."

"You should." Prof. Daniel said vehemently.

"You don't have to attend the afternoon session. Go see a doctor; we can make sure it isn't something serious." He tapped his back gently and went away.

Thatold fogey thought it was happening because I was burying myself in books. Hedidn't know what was happening inside my brain. 

Hey guys, thanks a lot for all your positive responses. I will try to upload the next chapters as fast as I could, I don't know if I could post frequently cuz my school will reopen next week. Most probably I will be suffocated by my textbooks, lol but I promise I will try my best. 

Good day!
