Back To The Start

Chapter 3 [UNEDITED]

{Elysse’s POV}

I hate Carlos so much. SO MUCH.

There are days when I just want him to fall off a cliff or something, anything, so I wouldn't have to see him again. But I’m not that cruel. Most of the time.

 I was in such deep thought about today’s past events that I didn't realize that Hanna had been asking me a question for the past 5 minutes.

"Hellooooo, earth to Elysse?", Lauren says as she claps in my face.

I blink and snap out of my train of thought. "Huh?", I say.

"Wow, and I thought that Joanne spaces out a lot" Lauren laughs.

"Ouch, that hurt" Joanne rolls her eyes playfully.

I smile and shake my head, as I take a sip of my water bottle.  

"Hey, would it be okay if I said that Carlos would look really good in a speedo?”, Hanna winks.

When I heard this, I widened my eyes and spit my water out and it spilled all over my homework. I coughed up the rest of the water I choked on while Hanna sits there, completely amused by my reaction.  I was just in complete awe of what she just said. Was she high or drunk? Was she being serious right now?

When I finally calmed down, I look towards her and my eyes shoot daggers. And trust me, if looks could kill, she’d be dead by now.

“Oh my God, calm your balls! I was just joking! But seriously, that boy is H-O-T, HOT”, she swoons.

“Can’t argue with that”, Lauren agrees.

“True, true. I saw him during the summer at the pool and in my head I was just like ‘damn, I’d tap that”, Joanne smirks.

I look at all of them in disgust. They couldn’t be serious right now, could they? I mean, I’d rather throw myself off the Grand Canyon than think about how ‘cute’ he was, which he isn’t.

“You guys are insane. I think I’m just gonna go”, I roll my eyes and get up, prepared to leave.

“C’mon, get off your bitch mode and just take a joke”, Hanna says, annoyed by my kill-joy mode.

I scoff, “Fine, fine. Whatever”, I say while I sit back down. “You guys are just weird though. I mean if I’m being honest, I’d rather go for James out of all of them”.

“Hmm, right”, Lauren smirks at me.

O..kay? What’s the deal with her now?

 *****

“I love her so much”, I hear a voice say.

I turn around to look at who said it but there was no one there. I look around and I noticed that I was in a meadow filled with beautiful flowers all around me. But I was alone. Well, at least I thought I was.

But then suddenly, I hear loud voices arguing very loudly. I walk around, trying to figure out where the yelling was coming from, until I see a dim light shining inside the dark forest. I realized the voices were coming from there.

I tiptoe quietly, praying that they don’t hear me. As I got closer to the voices and the light, I saw two boys arguing and yelling at each other. I hid behind a tree and closely listened to what they were saying.

“Just stop it now”, one of them sternly said.

“Stop what? You can’t control how she feels”, the other replied.

“You know how much I love her. You know that! Why can’t you just stop while you’re ahead and let us be?!”

“I love her too, you know! And why should I let her be with you? How is that fair to me?”

They hissed replies and comments at each other and I couldn’t take it anymore. I may not know these two boys but I couldn’t stand here and watch this.

I took a deep breath and proceeded my way towards them.

But as soon as I took a step, they were gone. As if they vanished into thin air.

I looked all around me and I suddenly felt the darkness suffocating me. The light was no longer where it was and it was replaced by pitch black clouds.

I screamed for help but no one could hear me. I was alone.

I screamed louder and felt myself being swallowed and closed in to everything.

And just when I was about to close my eyes for good…

I woke up.

I widened my eyes and lifted myself off the bed. I felt myself sweating bullets, panting and gasping for air. I looked around me and saw I was in my room, and when I checked the time, it was 5AM.

“It was just a dream”, I whisper to myself. “Just one, big, scary dream”.

I slumped down against my pillow and closed my eyes.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m fine. It was just a dream”, I say to myself.
