Visions

Another day another dream (8)

Chapter Eight

"Pssssshhh, Nicole.... What's up, you haven't spoken a word to me or anyone since you left to the bathroom" Hunter has been bugging me since the class started.

The memories keep flooding back and when they do I just can't take it. Who is he and what does he want with me and why won't he give up. I try and think back to all the people I know, if I've ever done anything to anyone for me to deserve this, but I just can't pin point anyone and it's frustrating.

And who is this girl who has been haunting me ever since the day I hit my head, this all doesn't make any sense. Turning my head I see Hunter looking at me with concern on his face.

Uggh why does he have to be here, he doesn't deserve someone like me with all these problems, it honestly best for him to not be around me.

But I also don't want him to leave, I started developing real feelings for him and his been the only one in this time to make me smile, but is keeping him around for myself really the best thing, I want it to be but he just got here and I don't want to say anything, since we just met but if I don't then it won't be fair to him.

I sigh and look him in the eye, "Can we talk after class I have something to tell you", his face turns from concerned to worried.

"Yeah sure no problem"

I turn my attention back to the teacher, how am I gonna tell him. Where do I start.

After class I take Hunter by the hand and lead him into one of the empty classrooms. "What did you want to talk about" I take a deep breath and tell him everything.

From when I hit my head, the dreams and the illusions I have been having as well what happened in the bathroom. When I'm done I look into his eyes, it's full of worry. He hasn't said anything and I'm starting to get worried.

Tears were forming in my eyes, I don't want to lose him. With Mandy not being here, he's the only one that's there for me, my parents don't believe me and to be honest I don't believe me either.

"Please say something, anything please" I look at him, my eyes pleading for an answer. The first tear escapes my eyes, I feel arms wrap around me, I cry into his chest. He rubs my back, his head on my shoulder, whispering reassuring thoughts into my ear. Moments later the bells rings and we pull apart. I wipe away my tears.

"Well I should get to class, I can't be late again. Talk later I guess..", I put my head down and leave without giving him the chance to say anything, instead of going to my next class, I decide to skip and just go home. I'm anyways not focused so even if I went to class, I would still be distracted. I start my engine and I drive, I don't know where I'm going but all I know is I need to be alone right now.

I drive and drive hoping to end up in the most beautiful place where my thoughts can just run free, but instead I find myself parking in my driveway. I run up the stairs to my room and lie down on my bed. Everything that has happened is flooding back to me all at once and how don't know how to react so I just fall asleep.

Opening my eyes, I find myself in church. Looking around, everyone around me is asleep. Wait if everyone else is asleep why aren't I. This makes no sense, but to be fair nothing in my life makes sense these days so I'm not surprised.

I get up and start walking to the exit when I see the little girl that has been tormenting me the past couple of months. She is on her knees; her head buried into her hands, whimpering. Should I help her or leave her, uhhh.... let me help her.

I walk closer to her, and kneel beside her. "Hey are you okay" she looks up, her face is wet from the tears, her hair in her face. She shakes her head. "What's your name?", I ask as her skin starts to burn.

She screams and screams, her voice piercing my ears. A strong force pushes her back into the air and she hits the wall, knocking down the Holy Cross. A dark shadow appears in front of her, I try and run up to help her, but I'm frozen in place. She is lifted into the air, and thrown across the room hitting her head once again. "STOP WHO EVER IS DOING THIS" I shout.

I gasp for air, looking around me I find myself back in my room. Another dream that makes no sense, lucky me.
