MyStreet : Melissa x Lucinda (Melcinda)

Chapter 3: Nightmares

Lucinda's POV

Aaron and Aphmau really do look cute together, glad they were able to make up after what happened, it's definitely going to take some time though.. I'm exhausted, better head to bed.

"Aph and Aaron were so cute together again! It's great they didn't let the past affect them," Kim says in a relieved tone.

"Yeah, I'm truly proud of them for getting through this, I hope everything else goes well."

"Agreed, and sorry to cut this short but I just realized what time it is . I'm going to go shower before it's too late, talk to you later!"

"Not a problem, we're sharing a room we'll have plenty of time to talk."

I changed into my pajamas and quickly crashed in my bed.

Melissa's POV

*Sigh of relief*

Finally time to sleep in my comfy bed! I'll have to ask Aaron how he thinks it went tomorrow hehehehe.

As I flopped onto my bed, I felt myself drifting into dreamland, falling asleep in an instant.

*5 hours later*

I-is that crying? I think to myself barely awake. It's... Lucinda! I checked my phone, it was 3am. I silently rushed to her room. What if something had happened to her? Every horrible situation rushed through my head a million times, I have to get there. Quick.

I arrive to her room realizing she was just sitting on her bed crying.. C'mon Mellisa think! What can I do to comfort her?

Lucinda's POV

Another nightmare.. I'm in Starlight I HAVE to stop thinking about this. Pull. yourself. together. How many times do I have to tell myself this?

"L-Lucinda are you ok?"

"Melissa? What are you doing here," I whispered, trying to cover up the fact I was crying.

"I heard you crying and I-I feared for the worse."

"How did you hear me??"

"I'm a werewolf, my ears can hear much better than a regular human's ears can, I couldn't help but hear you. I might've gotten overly concerned."

"I'm so sorry to wake you, I promise I won't make a noise from now on. It's so stupid I was just having a nightmare about the lodge.. Sorry again I don't want to dump this on you."

"It's not a bother at all, don't worry about it," Melissa paused for a moment. "Lucinda.. I'm here for you if you want to talk.. How bout we move to my room? Only if you'd like to of course."

"Y-your room? That'd be great, I wouldn't want to wake Kim with my problems too."

Can't believe someone is actually here to listen to me for once and it was Melissa and she invited me to her room. I've wanted to open up about my feelings to someone for a while.. Just could never find the right person.

Melissa took my hand and led me to her room, which admittedly made me blush a little.

"So, what's on your mind?" Melissa asked as we sat down on her bed.

"I've been having nightmares about.. allowing myself to get captured. Ein, h-he forced the potion on me. I mean I tried my best to fight but I couldn't I should've tried harder I-"

"Lucinda, you know it's not your fault, you never could've known what was going to happen. No one was able to fight the forever potions.."

"I-I know but I'm a witch for Irene's sake! I should've been able to do something, I should've been more aware of my surroundings, I could've sensed Ein if I was more focused. If he didn't have me under his control, he wouldn't even have been able to make new forever potions! None of this would've happened if it weren't for me."

"You should stop focusing on the ifs. Think about it like this, if it wasn't you, Ein would've found someone else, none of it was remotely because of you. Luci, there's no way you could've predicted anything would happen, just trust me on that. Please just remember, nothing is your fault.. I don't want this to destroy you too." I could clearly see she was thinking about Aaron.

"I just wish I could go back and tell myself everything that would go wrong, but you're right Melissa, I shouldn't dwell on this I just can't help it sometimes. My mind keeps going back to it, but this really helped. I know we've barely known each other, but I'm glad I was finally able to talk about this to someone. Thank you."

We talked until I passed out, I was hugging Melissa's tail, she let me hug it for emotional support while I slept. The warmth, the fluffiness, the volume, everything about it lulled me to sleep.
