"Chris !!!!!" I yelled. My heart was pounding inside my chest. I couldn't stop running. Everything went black for a moment but I didn't stop running. When the light flooded back in I fell on the ground.
"Alex," I heard a voice say, "he's coming for you ..." I looked up but whoever had said that was gone.
"Alex, Alex"
"Yes, yes Chris is that you ?"
"Alex, wake up."
I jumped up with my eyes blinking rapidly. My arm started throbbing.
"Ugh," I complained and lay back down.
"Do you need the nurse ?" I looked over to see my mom sitting in a chair with a book in her lap.
"I need some ibuprofen for this stupid throbbing," I told her.
"Alright I'll go get her," She said as she stood up and walked out. A few minutes later she came back with the nurse that was poking me with needles yesterday. Great, I thought.
"Miss Cartwright, is there a problem ?" she asked. Noooo, I called you in here to play patty cakes.
"Actually yeah, my arm is hurting," I said.
"I'll go get some medicine," she said and gave me a fake smile. Whatever.
"Honey, are you alright ?" My mom sounded worried. She put a bookmark in her book and set it on the side table next to her. I didn't know what to say. Honestly, I don't think she was ready to hear what happened. And I don't think I was ready to tell her ...
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said. I wouldn't say it was lying because I really was fine, I just didn't want to tell her what really happened.
"Are you su-" she got cut off by the nurse coming back in with the medicine. For once I was happy for her presence. After I took the medicine and the nurse left I turned to my mom, "hey mom is it okay if I just have some time alone ?"
"Sure honey," my mom got up, kissed my forehead, and left.

I don't get it. The dream, I mean. What does it mean ? 'He's coming for me ?' I shivered a little. I wasn't scared, promise. Just ... I don't know, really, something about the way the guy in my dream said 'He'. I think the guy in my dream was Chris but I didn't see him so I'm not sure. I miss my dog. That was random. I heard the door click and was pulled out of my thoughts by Cole sitting down next to me.
"Hey Alex," he said.
"Hey," I said without looking over.
"Are you gonna tell me what happened ?" He asked. I turned over to look at him.
"I don't think you want to know," I replied. He scoffed.
"Really Alex ? You're gonna pull this crap again ?"
"What do you want me to say ? I'm sorry ? You don't understand, Cole, ok ?"
"Don't do this, don't act like the innocent one,"
"I should be saying the same thing to you," I mumbled.
He jumped up from the chair slamming it against the wall. He walked towards me.
"Alex, You're going to tell me now or I'll tell Ashton what you said to me," he growled. His face loomed over mine and he scowled. I knew Cole. Better than anyone else. I knew that he would do anything to get it out of me. It was just information but somehow I didn't trust him enough not to use the excuse of telling Ashton stuff I'd said again after I'd given him the information.
"I'm not telling you," I whispered.
"Oh yes, you are," he smiled, "I don't think Ashton will be happy with you if you don't."
I sighed. I didn't know what to do. Ashton would find out what I said sometime and everyone would find out what happened. I couldn't keep it a secret forever, it wasn't that big of a deal anyways.
"Tell him," I glared at Cole. "Tell him," I shouted.
He laughed and walked towards the door. "Whatever you say, Alexis."
