die for you || harry styles fanfic

chapter 10.

"amber?"

i heard a voice calling out for my name. i tried to speak but i can't. i opened my eyes and saw a dark empty familiar road which held my past. i looked around for a sight of anymore but nobody is there. i got up and looked down at myself. im wearing a white shirt which is ripped at the edge. i saw my arms which are covered in bruises and blood. i feel so confused, i didn't know where i am. i tried screaming but it didn't work. i feel tears surrounding my eyes. i walked down the empty street and heard footsteps behind. then i saw his face, his beautiful face who i once loved. then i realized everything. this is not just a nightmare. this is a part of my past.

"ashton?" i finally said a word.

he gave me a sinister smile and run towards me. i tried to run but i can't. it's like my legs are glued to the floor. He got closer and closer and my scream got louder and louder.

"amber! wake up are you okay!?" my sister Leah woke me up. i couldn't answer her, im still panting like I've just run a thousand laps.

"you kept on screaming and screaming and it ruin my beauty sleep" she complained.

"i-im so sorry i didn't mean to" i said.

"ugh, is it another nightmare? gosh you creep. Now wake up you have to go school" she said and storm out of my room.

I let out a frustrating sigh and run my hands through my hair. i feel tears streaming down my face. i grabbed my phone and checked the time. it reads 6:10. i got up and do all my morning routines and walked to school.

"hey girl" veronica said. I replied with a smile.

"where's emily?" i questioned.

"im not sure"

"she might be late" julia said while her eyes is still focused on her phone.

"It's kinda weird, she's never late" marceline replied. i just simply nodded. My head is still focused on the nightmare i got. They kept on talking and throwing jokes here and there but i just can't listen to them, my head is too distracted.

"amber!" veronica called out to me.

"w-what?"

"are you okay? you seemed kinda distracted" she said.

"im fine, im just tired" i lied with a fake smile on my face.

the bell ringed and we go on our own ways. I'm in my math class with my head laying on the table. i can't help but feel worried about emily. The class finished and i went to my art class.

i scanned the class but someone is missing. Harry is not there. i make my way to my sit beside Zayn.

"hey beautiful" he said with that charming smile of his.

"hey" i said as i sit beside him.

a few minutes past and harry is still not here. The lesson started and my curiosity got worse.

"zayn, can I ask you something?"

"sure" he replied.

"where's harry?"

his body tensed up a little bit.

"i have no idea" he said with a fake smile. I just nodded and watch the teacher continously talking. i could just text him right now but im too embarrassed to do it.

The day past on. I shove all of my books inside my locker and make my way to Veronica's locker.
