Across waters.

Five.

"Kay!! Wake up!!" I woke up to Zak, he was over my body. I knew what happened. I had that dream again, I could feel the tears down my hot cheeks and the back sweat. I can't believe it. "What's going on? Who is MJ?" I could t bring two words together. I didn't want Zak to see me like this. I collapsed in arms. "Ssssh. It's okay. You're safe with me" I started crying more, I dunno if it was the dream or the fact that he didn't pressure me to talk as I got away with it.

We spent the morning and afternoon together. I sat on the bed while he packed and I knew I was going to miss him. I started to shred a tear and I tried keeping them back. Zak caressed my face and kissed me. "I will miss you" he said. My heart finally started beating normally. I told him i'll miss him more than ever.

Billy started honking the car. Zak was all ready to go and I was about to leave for work. "You better be here when I come back." Zak whispered in my ear and I knew this was going to be something. "I'm not going anywhere without you" I sent him off with a smirk and blew him one more kiss.

I was glad I was heading to work, something to keep me occupied for two weeks. I've been working up to become a doctor and this was make or break time so Zak gone was good. I had to keep focus. I stayed at work and crashed in our staff room but I knew I would have an unsettled sleep.

My friend Cc shook me and I yelled and saw my life flash before my eyes. "You're calling out? What's wrong?" Cc asked with a concerning look on her face. I shook it off and explained that I had a nightmare, but in honesty my past was haunting me.

I got home 5am and couldn't sleep, I was freaking out and was getting anxious. I didn't like that fact I needed to keep looking over my shoulder. Why did I think he could harm me? Why was I paranoid? Why all of a sudden is this happening? All these questions, my mind was filling up with negative thoughts and it was getting the worst of me. Zak rung me and I quickly answered "omg Zak hi!" I was breathless and he pick up on it. "Kay what's wrong?" I was gonna be easier to get out of this conversation. I told him that work was stressful and he believed it.

Zak spoke to me until I was ready to sleep. I told him how much I missed him and could wait to see him. For the next few days we texted back and fourth. He told me his first lock down was so amazing, the evidence they got was class A. He was boarding to England so I had to let him go.
