~~

Naomi's POV:

"Wait." He grabbed my arm gently. "Can we please talk?"

This has got to be a dream.

Just the feeling of his hand on my arm makes me remember the dream I had. It made me feel frustrated and confused at everything.

"No." I replied plainly as I started walking away.

"Please Naomi!" He ran in front of me which stopped me from my tracks.

"No, Sean." I couldn't even look him in the eyes. It reminded me too much of how I stared at them in my dream.

"Naomi, I'm sorry for this."

I looked at him confused until he bent over and threw me over his shoulder.

"Sean! Put me down!" I started punching on his back.

My emotions were going crazy at this point as I remember how he did this to me the first day he went to my house. I remember when he carried me all the way to his house after. I remember how he would kiss me on my forehead before I went to sleep. I remember his promises he has broken. I remember when I thought I was someone important to him.

I remember everything.

He finally put me down on the ground after him walking up the cliff and I looked at him with tears already formed in my eyes.

How could he do this to me?

"Naomi," He cupped my cheeks and wiped my tears with his thumbs.

I flinched at contact remembering everything from the dream. The dream is ruining me. I didn't know something so fake could ruin something already ruined.

"I'm here to explain, okay?" Sean backed away noticing how terrified I looked.

"You don't need to okay?!" I yelled at him. "I understand I'm nothing to you! I understand that I'm just gonna be that girl you were once close to! I understand that I'm the girl you will never miss!" I cried.

"That's not true." He told me as he forced me into a hug.

"Let me go!" I cried as I began punching his chest for him to get away, except he didn't.

"You don't know how much I regret letting our friendship go. You don't know how much pain I went through watching you in pain. You don't know how much it took to not go up to you and hug you everytime I would see you." My punching became weaker at his words.

"You don't know how angry I was at myself. You don't know how angry I was with the way Enrique was treating you in class. I still can't believe that I didn't punch him right there when I promised I'd protect you."

Promised.

My knees got weak at the sound of that word alone. He must've felt it because he ended up guiding me safely to the ground with him by my side.

"I went through so much regret that period that I couldn't even control myself anymore." He began rubbing my back as I had couldn't hold my tears any longer. "So after class I  punched him, I kicked him, and I threatened him." He almost whispered.

My head slowly went up from my hands as I looked up at his face.

"That was you." My voice hitched.
