I laid stiff on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. Part of me couldn't recognize Miles from what he said to me.

I find it funny how I really thought someone like him could actually consider me. I don't get why he said what he said.

It was his choice to kiss me, and it's his choice to decide whether he wants to talk about it or not and resolve this whole mess we have going on.

But now I'm in my bed, staining my pillow case with tears over some stupid boy who played with my head. I can't believe he said that shit to me in the stables like we never had a connection.

I ran into the stables, following where I saw Miles and Flora go. Kate was still gathering herself in the car.

I took a left, making a beeline towards Delilah's pin. After all that's where Flora usually is.

When I reached it, Flora was sitting on the fence, miles rubbing her back next to her comfortingly.

"Oh, Flora.." I mumbled, walking towards her.

I could already sense the tension between me and Miles. He didn't want me here, and I knew it.

She looked up at me, her face stained and drenched in tears. I lifted my hand, gently wiping her cheeks with my thumb.

"I'm so sorry.. it's gonna be okay, though. I promise you. You're so strong for trying, that's so amazing of you." I said to her in a gentle and genuine tone.

She sniffled, a small smile gathering on her face. I heard miles scoff from next to me, making me and Flora confusingly turn our heads to him.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him, Miles taking his hand from Floras back.

He looked at me, making eye contact.

"You're not helping anything. Not to mention you are pretending to care." He mumbled.

My eyes widened, confused at his sudden words.

"What? You know I care about you both, you are my best friend Miles." I said to him, a bit sincere due to the change of emotion.

He rolled his eyes, continuing to insult me for no reason.

"Best friend? BEST FRIEND? Like I'd believe that.. you aren't smart, you're not clever, I know you're just like everyone else. You barely did SHIT in that car, all because you don't care. You're just gonna leave like everyone else in my life. I'm done holding onto you like some fucking leech. I know who you really are now, Y/N." He spat rudely.

𝐎𝐮𝐜𝐡. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭.

I wish I didn't, but I started to feel my eyes get watery and feel my cheeks get warm. But did I let the tears fall? No.

"Wh-what did I do..? Is this about the kiss..?" I asked him silently.

"Kiss? What kiss?" Flora asked us, me remembering she was there.

"Nothing Flora. She is delusional." He said rudely.

I felt that ball in my throat. The same one I get when I try to hold in tears.

".. Miles-"

"No. Shut up." He said sternly.

"But I-"

"SHUT UP!" He yelled at me, making me flinch a bit.

I stayed still, worried he would do something worse than yell. At this point he was purely unpredictable.

"You're just like Kate.." he whispered, finishing off his disrespectful ramble.

I felt my heart get squeezed, clenching my teeth shut. A tear escaped my eye, in which I quickly wiped away.

I couldn't believe he said that to me, it made me shatter. Not to mention he was the person I felt most comfortable around.

I backed away from him, knowing I was about to cry.

"I can't believe you.. I thought you really liked me. I thought that kiss was genuine.. But I guess I was wrong." I said solemnly, before running out of the room.

I curled into a ball, crying deeply. I kept going through the past like some strange Polaroid imbedded into my brain.

I could hear the music blasting from his room, like he didn't care about what he said to me. He only cared about entertaining himself.

The worst part about it though, is that he left when I needed him most. I really needed him.

I sniffled, rubbing my eyes.

"Shh.. Don't let him hear you."

I gasped, widening my eyes and abruptly sitting up. I looked to my right, and there was nobody.

I looked to my left, and I screamed.

"AHH-"

"DONT!" The same, pale woman before me said.

I put a hand over my mouth, trying not to make a sound as she looked at me. Why was she here?

Why was that same woman here? With her white hair, pale skin, and tear stained cheeks..

I could only guess who I had to be quiet from.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲.

"Is it h-him..?" I whispered.

She nodded, before speaking.

"Quint."

That name. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞.

It ached to hear that name, after all he terrorized me that night. I was about to speak, but then something happened.

𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑!

I gasped, realizing the cup on my nightstand was thrown to the floor by an invisible force.

"He's h-here.." she whispered, nervous.

I snapped my head back to her, more tears building up.

"Help me.. please help me.." I whispered, my voice breaking.

She lifted her hands to hold both of my cheeks comfortingly.

"It's going to be okay, dear. Just go to his room."

"Wh-what..? Who?" I shakily asked her with tears falling down my face.

"You know whose room I'm talking about. The boys room. The one you love. He will do anything possible to keep you safe. I know it for sure. You must resolve this situation with him, I know it. After all, I have been looking over you." She whispered, before softly kissing me on the head.

She slowly disappeared, leaving me alone with Quint.
