Behind The Dangerous Secrets

Chapter Two

"So how has life been for you Paige?" My Dad asked me, "It's been so long." I sighed, it has been so long. Dad didn't even know what I have been through the last several months. 'The Kurt Mystery', Blake and I dating or anything else.

"There's so much to explain" I replied nervously as I sat up and grabbed my pillow to reassure me. Maybe I was overreacting, I could tell my father anything. But then again, the things I've been through are so hard to comphrend.

"I'm all ears sweet pea" Dad explained as he patted me on the back, "It's okay, go ahead. I'm listening." Taking a deep breath, I turned towards my father and glanced at him.

"Well for starters things have been pretty complicated. My ex-boyfriend got Kurt got murdered and Blake was there to support me which eventually turned into something more..." I whispered not daring to explain anymore. I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried, the words wouldn't leave my tongue. I closed my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair, I never realized how hard it was to tell the truth to someone you love.

My Dad pulled me closer to him and gave me a short hug. "Sweet Pea, everything is going to be okay. I'm glad that Blake was there to help you get through it and I'm sorry about your loss." Suddenly, I didn't feel like talking about it any longer.

"It's fine Dad, I'm okay now" I replied, "But thank you."

"Sure thing, if need anything, I'll be here," My Dad told me. He kissed my forehead, wished me a good night, and then he departed. As soon as he was gone, I sat up and glanced at the clock. It was getting really late so I might as well go to bed. I didn't really want to stay up and think about all of the things I've been through, I wanted to get over it.

Throwing my covers over my body, I closed my eyes and surprisingly I started to fade away from reality and into dreamland.

Opening my eyes, I glance around. Where am I? I found myself on a meadow with beautiful flowers and orchards beneath me and a warm yet refreshing breeze blew against my face. Deciding to stand up, I glance around and took in the beautiful surroundings. The sun was just rising so the sky looked like it had a sudden orange glow it with the redish and orangish sky.

Taking a deep breath, I swirl around and run through the meadow as I close my eyes and embrace the nature. The flowers tickle my feet as I ran through and every flower kissed my skin as if I belong here.

But the happiness starts to fade away as soon as I hear footsteps. I gasp in fear and look around. Am I being stalked? I didn't see a thing so I keep on walking but I make sure that I was more alert of my surroundings. Then, I hear those footsteps again and they're as if it's coming near to me briskly. Out of fear, I ran as fast as my legs can carry me and as I ran, it was no longer beautiful.

Dark clouds invaded the morning sky, lightening starts to erupt, and then the rain falls. As I ran, I got drenched with rain and I feel much more depressed. As if the weather reflected my mood. I try to run but then someone pushes me down and I glance up to see the principal.

He stares at me myteriously and I stare right at him with fear. What was he looking at me for? Was he the man stalking me? But no, he wasn't because I heard footsteps from behind. I try to crane my neck to see who has been following me, but the stalker punches me out cold and I fall to my sorrow.

"Ah!" I shrieked as fear rushes through me and I grip onto my pillows tightly. Rubbing my eyes, I realized it was just a nightmare so I felt a bit relieved, but I was still afraid. Why on earth was I dreaming about the principal? He was a bit strange, but why did this scare me to death? Taking a deep breath, I've decided to push all of these questions away and to get ready for school. I'll be okay, I told myself, I just need to forget about it.
