Chapter 8

~Red~

Into the woods with Pooh-Bear would be the most thrilling thing ever in my 14 year old life. Especially being with him, only. I was leaning against a tree where I would be waiting for him. While waiting, my eyelids grew heavier as darkness consumed me.

"Wake up, Red." I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust my eyesight. The first thing I saw was Pooh-Bear smiling, a smile that he always uses to hide his sadness.

"Red......" He said in a small voice. I smiled at him, but deep down I knew this was going to be bad news.

"Yeah?"

'Oh Jesus, Please let this be a prank. Please tell me he was just joking to make me worried about him.' I chanted in my head, reassuring myself that it would be alright.

"Forgive me." His voice finally broke as I looked at him face to face, eye to eye. His light blue eyes that always held joy were changed into dark blue eyes that held guilt, sorrowfulness and anger.

"What? Don't tell me you broke my mom's plate." I joked, trying to reduce the tension that was filled in the air but miserably failed.

"Nah, it's worse than that." He chuckled weakly. He took a deep breath and look straight into my eyes.

"I've broke rule number one. I deeply apologize." He murmured.

"What? But.....But....." I was beyond speechless. What was he saying? No way in hell this was happening. I looked at him in horror.

"Times up." A deep thrilling voice said. I looked at my surroundings to see nothing. Where did that voice came from?

Then, Pooh-Bear lifted my chin to make me look at him. He moved closer to me and pecked my forehead. He kept whispering 'I'm sorry' repeatedly and shut his eyes tightly.

When he opened his eyes, I was scared shitless. His eyes were now cold, empty, nothing. "Farewell, Red Nights."

He said, his voice as cold as ice. He walked away, not looking back once, leaving me all alone in the eerie forest.

Our ten years of friendship was now gone, and it made my heart ache.

I rose up from my bed, taking a deep breath as I was out of breath. I was drenched in sweat. I didn't realize I was crying until I tasted salt. I was suffocated, my nightmare made me suffocated. It was terrifying to be constantly dreaming about something that you tried escaping and feared.

Why? Why did he need to be so cruel? How could he changed from an guardian angel to a cold demon in a short amount of time?

Red Nights was meant to be fearless and strong, physically and mentally. She wasn't supposed to be weak and vulnerable over a guy. It was hundred percent wrong for her.

I checked my phone to see it was 5:30 in the morning. I wanted to sleep back but I knew I couldn't, those cruel flashbacks would haunt me. I went into the bathroom and had a super cold shower. Even though it made my teeth chattered as it was freezing, I still forced myself to shower.

After showering, I changed into a black hoodie and long pants. Then, I took my phone and earphone along before I went out. I went to a park nearby my house. I jogged for who knows how mang laps as I was deep in thoughts.

Why did he disappeared?

Is Ted him?

Where is he now?
