Chapter 5

Jaycie pov

I'm running as fast as my legs can carry me. I don't know where I'm going, I just know I need to run. My adrenaline is decreasing, but I keep pushing my legs. My breaths are becoming uneven and shaky. I'm in the middle of the woods. I look around and see trees everywhere.

"Jaycie!" I hear a voice yell.

The voice is deep, it sounds familiar. I keep running, but I can't bare it anymore. I turn around and look to see who it is. Just as I turn my vision starts to blur and I can't make out the face. I turn back around and trip on a branch. I get back up and try to run, but it's to late. He spins me around and pulls me close. I shut my eyes and scream.

I wake up shaking. I had the dream again. Is this supposed to mean something? Maybe it's a sign that something bad is going to happen. If so, what am I going to do? Ugh I just need to take a hot shower. Once again I put the water on as hot as it can go. I need it to burn my skin, I need the warmth. What can this dream mean, if it means anything at all. I'm just paranoid, I'm being silly, if it meant anything I would see the face so I could protect myself from them right?

I go through the usual morning routine with my day telling me to have good grades. To him that means all A's and no b's. None. I drive over to school but I can't get my mind off of Harry. My dream started off different today, but ended the exact same. At first I was with Jake and we broke up. As if, I could never break up with him, he's the only one thats I think might love me. Then I was Harry's..... Girlfriend. That could never happen. Harry is not the type of guy I would ever date, but for some reason in my dream I felt like I really *loved* him. I could never love him. He's just a jerk. I don't think he even likes me. I park in the parking lot and check my reflection to make sure I look good. I tried extra hard this morning. Wait, when did I start caring what I looked like at school?

I walk into the school and the first person I see is Jake. He's talking to some girl and he's all smiles. My blood starts to boil. One of Jakes flaws is that he is always flirting with every girl. He sees me and gives me a look of annoyance. I can't believe he's pissed at me just because I didn't want to *do it* with him last night. I turn around and walk away, and head off to mrs. Gracias room. To my surprise, Harry is already here. He has his hood up like always and is scribbling something in his notebook. I walk over and set my stuff down.

"Good morning," I say.

All I get is a nod of the head. It makes the muscles in my jaw tense that he won't talk to me, but I keep calm.

"Why didn't you come to my house yesterday?" I ask Harry.

"I uhh," Harry says while sitting up straighter and shutting his notebook," I was busy."

"Doing what," I pressure

"That's none of your business," Harry snaps at me.

"Yes it is," I fire back," it's my grade in this class too if you don't show up. Not just yours."

"Fine, then Ill be there today. Happy?"

"Believe me, I don't want you at my house, but the sooner we finish the less I have to see you."

Harry laughs at my words and the teacher walks in. I don't pay attention at all in class and before I know it, the bell rings and class is over.

"Heyyy," Kathryn says holding out the y,"I head Harry was coming to your house today."

I cringe at the thought," yeah," I all I say.

Kathryn laughs," hmm you should totally kiss him."

"No! I have a boyfriend and I don't even like harry. He's such a jerk." I yell.

"Mhm whatever," Kathryn giggles.

"Why are we even best friends?" I laugh as I push her away.

"You know you love me!" She says

"Yeah, I know." I say laughing.

The day has gone by incredibly fast surprisingly. It's already time for my science class. I sit down next to Harry and don't even give him a second glance.

"So," Harry says," I hear you're dating Jake."

His direct comment surprised me. "Umm yeah," I say

"Tell me about him," he asks

"Why the sudden interest?" I ask

Harry shrugs," I don't know, just tell me about him. Is he a nice guy?"

"Yeah, he's nice enough."

"You don't sound so sure," he says.

"Well what do you care?" I snap

"I'm just saying." Harry says leaning in to whisper in my ear. His lips touch my ear and a chill goes through my whole body. "You shouldn't trust people as much as you do." I'm left shocked as his lips leave me ear an he goes back to being being silent. The teacher walks in, but I don't listen. Harrys voice keeps ringing in my ear," you shouldn't trust people as much as you do." Was he talking about Jake? What is he saying?

The bell rings and Harry hurriedly leaves the room. I run after him to ask him what he was talking about, but when I got out into the hallway, he was gone.
