Future Plans

Chapter 21

Aaron's POV:

I startled and screamed at the top of my voice. It was a dream, she was still with me. I turned and wanted to look at Scarlett laying next to me, but- She wasn't laying next to me.
I looked at the free space next to me, trying to figure out, what was going on. I was dreaming about her leaving me and now she wasn't laying next to me anymore. "No...!", I whispered and jumped out off bed. I ran into the living room, thinking she maybe couldn't sleep anymore so she decided to drink a glass of water. She was neither sitting on the couch, nor standing in the kitchen or anywhere else. "No... No, please...!" I ran into the bathroom. Maybe she got sick and had to throw up. "Scar?!", I almost yelled, as I looked into the empty room.
No... No, this wasn't true...
I leaned back against the cold wall. My body was hot and sweaty. I looked around and tried to breathe calmly. My heart started racing, it pounded at least a million times per second.
She couldn't be gone. This couldn't be real. No, no, she wasn't gone.
I slipped down the wall and sat down on the ground. I felt a huge weight on my heart, as if someone would grab and push it. My lungs started cording up and I hardly could breathe anymore. I pressed my hands on my stomach, it felt like it got ripped apart. My head seemed to explode, what was happening with me? I closed my eyes, tried to breathe normally again, when I saw Scar's face again.
Her cold and lost eyes, when she said she'd leave me.
I shook my head slightly.
A dream. It was just a dream. But then again where was she?
I got back up and stumbled into the living room. I grabbed my phone and called her. I was waiting, as I suddenly heard her phone ring in my bedroom. I walked into it and found her phone in her bag, that was laying on the ground. I sighed and hung up.
I started thinking about what to do now. I couldn't visit Norbert again, I didn't want to bother him again in the middle of the night. I stayed in my bedroom for another moment, then I quickly got changed and drove to my parents' house.
