Chapter 3:

I woke up in the middle of the night, sweating, the contents of my nightmare fresh in my mind. I have hardly ever had nightmares, but that was a really scary one. I grabbed my phone and checked what time it was. 4:00am was shining back at me as I squinted to read it. I decided I would text Connor to see if he was awake.

"Hey Con?" I waited to see if he would reply and to my surprise, he did. "Hey! Is everything ok?" He always could tell if something was wrong even if it was a text message. "I just had a nightmare.... and it was really scary." He immediately texted back. "Do u want me 2 come over? Bc u know i will." I chuckled and replied,"Would you? Come to my window." I felt my phone vibrate in my hand and he texted me back saying,"On my way! B there in 10!"

I waited for what felt like forever at my window when I finally saw his car pull into my driveway with the headlights off so my parents wouldn't wake up. He quickly got out and ran around my house and came around to the backyard. I opened my window and whisper shouted,"Hey! Up here!" He jumped and looked up, covering his chest with his hand, scared. Wimp. I thought.

He looked at my house and said, "How do I get up there? I don't see the pipe." I pointed to it and he had an "Ah." expression on his face. He quickly climbed up and got in my window quietly. "So, are you okay?" I sat down on my bed and fiddled with my thumbs, not knowing what to say. He grabbed my hand, causing me to look up at him. "Hey, tell me. You will be okay. I'm here. I'm not leaving, and I'm not going to judge you." I nodded and took a deep breath.

I looked up at Connor and asked,"You promise?" He chuckled and nodded his head, wrapping his pinkie around mine. I took another deep breath and started.

"I was in a dark room, and I couldn't see anything. I was freezing-god it was so cold. I started to panic because I heard footsteps coming. I searched for any doors on the wall with my hands and when I felt one, I opened it." I couldn't finish my sentence. By this point I was sobbing. My face was covered in tears and I was having a hard time breathing. Connor rubbed my back and held my hands. "Shh. It's okay. You're fine. You can do this. I'm right here." I calmed down a little and started to continue.

"Okay. I opened the door and I felt two hands wrap around my neck, suffocating me. The hands belonged to a man and he had the nastiest look on his face. I screamed for help, but nobody came. Nobody came, Connor. Nobody. Why couldn't anyone hear me?" I pleaded breathlessly.

"Ali, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. That was terrifying just listening to it. Come here." Connor scooped me up and put me on his lap, hugging me. He rubbed my back and wiped the tears that were streaming down my face. He looked at me,"Ali?" I nodded my head. "Yeah?"

"I love you. If you ever need anything, you know that I am just a text away." I smiled and laid my head on his chest. "I know. I love you too." He always gave the best hugs to calm me down with. "Hey, it is a school night. I'll wait until you get to sleep, but I have to go back home." I felt guilty for keeping him up on a school night, even if it was Thursday.

Connor walked to the top of my bed and pulled the covers back, signalling me to get in. Once I got in, he covered me up. He bent down and kissed my forehead. "Do you mind?" He asked, pointing to the empty spot beside me. I shook my head no and he got in beside me. He scooted closer and started humming a soft tune quietly.

I closed my eyes, becoming tired again from the crying. I didn't want to sleep, but I knew I had to. I was almost asleep when I heard him get up. He kissed my forehead and said, "Sleep tight, beautiful. I'll see you in the morning." And with that he climbed back down and drove home.

The next day 6:45am.

I woke up to my alarm clock buzzing in my ears. I rolled over and shut it off, getting out of bed. I walked to my dresser and got some clothes out, not caring what they were. I got dressed and walked to my night stand to get my phone. I saw that I had 3 new messages from Connor. They read:

"Hey Ali. I hope you slept well."

"Hey Ali. It's me again. What do you say we do something fun after school?"

"Maybe go to the movies, the mall? Anything you want. Love you, dork!"

I chuckled and couldn't get the stupid smirk off my face the rest of the morning.

I pulled into a parking space and turned my car off. I was about to get out when I saw Connor walking by with Bethany Thomas. Otherwise know as the school's slut/popular chick. God, I hated her. Why were they walking together? I got out of my car and walked towards them, eavesdropping.

"So, Con."-That is my nickname for him!-"You know how I'm having that bonfire? Well, I was wondering if you'd like to be my date? I mean, I am the host, but a girl's gotta have a date to her own party, right?" She laughed obnoxiously and playfully slapped his arm. He chuckled and said, "Well, I was actually planning on going with someone else."

"And who might that lucky girl be?" He smiled and said,"Actually, my best friend Ali. You know her, right?" She gave him a fake smile. "Oh I do. But, I'm sure you could do better than her right? Just look at you. You're gorgeous." He stopped walking and I slowed my pace and ducked behind some other people that were walking. "Bethany. You don't have to be so rude. She is a really nice girl. She is my date and that is final. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't disrespect her like that."

She had a temper tantrum and stomped away. I walked towards him, trying not to be noticed, but failing miserably. "Hey Ali! How are you?" I smiled and I smiled and said,"Better than last night. Thank you for that. You helped so much. That is the best I think I've slept in a long time." He smiled and wrapped me into a tight hug, whispering into my ear,"You're so welcome. You know I will do anything for you, Ali. I love you." He let go and ruffled my hair, earning a disgusted look from me. He just laughed and said, "Come on, Oscar. Let's go before we're late."

"Oscar? Who is th-Ohhhh. The Grouch. Thanks, love ya too, bud." I said sarcastically.

We got to our homeroom and sat down as the tardy bell rang. Mr. Crabtree came on the loudspeaker for the morning announcements. His name isn't actually Mr.Crabtree, but that is what the student body calls him because he is always crabby.

After announcements, our teacher took attendance and announced that we had a new student. He walked in the door a few minutes later. Let's just say, he wasn't hard on the eyes. I sat straight up in my seat, staring at him. He was gorgeous. He had dark brown hair, almost black, with the bluest eyes I have ever seen. Mrs. Goff pointed to the seat next in front of mine, saying,"Mr.Griggs, you can sit in front of Ms. Grey." I smiled as he sat down.

He turned around and smiled the cutest smile ever,"Hi. My name is Thomas. You are?" I sat there stunned at how beautiful his voice was too. He must've realized I was stuck and said,"Beautiful? Because you are." I scoffed. "Actually, my name is Allison. Ali for short. But,you can call me, Allison. Only my friends call me Ali." He laughed and said,"Feisty one here, are we?" He looked at Connor and said,"You friends with her?" Connor smiled and said,"Best friends actually. I'm Connor by the way. Play any sports?" They continued talking guy and I just zoned out and thought about how cute Thomas was and how I may have a dilemma on my hands with feelings for guys.
