Tick, tick, tick.
It echos in the room. I'm scared. I don't want to see him again. I dose off to the sound of the clock.
Tick, tick, tick.
The friend in front of me taps my shoulder and smiles. "Are you feeling alright?" I smile and push my fear aside. "I'm just a little sleepy.
Tick, tick, tick.
I look at my phone and see a message. A reason to smile. I reply and let the fear cloud my thoughts. I'm shaking and unable to find warmth. I give up and look to the clock.
Tick, tick, tick.
It's almost time. I'll have to see him again. My heart races and I feel my gut twist.
Tick, tick...
