Chapter 4

"Fuck!!"

My arm hits the floor as I fall from the bed. Severe pain shoots all across from my shoulder to the tip of my fingers and I curse some more.

What in the name of God was that dream? Nightmare, more likely. This was the second time I nearly died in it, and the second time I was saved.

Who is that girl? And why the hell can't I remember her face?
Her eyes were boring into mine, like they knew every secret I've ever had. Those green eyes. How come they're the only part of her that I remember but not anything else?

I know I saw her clearly this time. But every time I try to recall her face, my mind just gives up. It refuses to retrieve her features, her smile, her hair, her everything.

The only thing I'm stuck with is her eyes and her voice.

"What did she say?" I ask my self as I slowly get up, rubbing my arms.

"Come on, come on brain! Don't give up on me like this WHAT DID SHE SAY?!"

I can't remember. I absolutely for the love of me cannot remember what she told me in the dream. Oh, forget it. This is ridiculous.

I check the time and realize it's only 9:00 am. Great. I'm up like an owl on a Sunday morning and all traces of sleep have left me.
I decide to go for a jog. I wear my hoodie and shorts, and put on my joggers.

The weather is a bit chilly today, or maybe it's because it's early in the morning. Whatever, it seems like the perfect start to a Sunday.
My favourite place to jog is a huge ground, with lush green grass in the middle surrounded by a race track. It's deserted today, unlike the other days when it's literally overcrowding. Everyone must be snoring their butt off, unlike me, who's fresh as a daisy right now.

I can't decide if I like jogging alone or not. I'm not some pervert, who's sole reason in life is to watch girls work out. But it's always refreshing to look at them. What's better is that they try and impress me. Oh, yeah. I've seen some girls act totally cool when I pass them. It feels good to know the effect I have on them.

But being here alone, jogging on my own, I can't help but feel an eery peace. I can hear my breathing; feel my heart beat; hear my thoughts. It feels good to run at my own pace without caring what others are thinking of me.

After one good hour of jogging, I am glistening with sweat and feel satisfied. I make my way out and decide to have some coffee from Starbucks.

It's still early for everyone to wake up, considering the streets are still empty with only a couple of people walking.

It all happens so quickly; I turn around the corner and before I can halt and move aside, I bump into a girl and end up pinning her to the wall. The impact causes her to make an "oomph" sound as her back hits the wall and I clash into her.

She looks at me angrily and says something but I don't listen, I can't concentrate on anything.
Because I'm staring into a pair of green eyes.

And as if in a trance, my mind finally recalls what she said in the dream,

"I'm here now. I'll save you."

AAAAHHHHHH GUYS!!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING BECAUSE I AM SCREAMING! What do you think is gonna happen?? Please please share your thoughts and views with me! I'd really like it.
