Broken

Chapter 49: Once Brothers Now At War

Astrid

Each night this dream comes more vivid, but today for some reason it felt different and I didn't like it. I guess I got the same as usual. But coming the end it became clearer. I was in a factory. I was with the same boy when I was younger. There was this man and woman led on the floor, they were drained of blood from disastrous wounds, now showing no sign of life what so ever.

I obviously knew them because I was screaming out for them. I felt more pain than I have ever felt in a lifetime, a sharp pain as if something from my heart was stolen and can never be replaced again. I heard the boy scream "Alana, their gone! There's nothing we can do about it now, their gone," the boy had his arms around me. Guarding me from being able to make it to them. Whoever they were anyway.

My head suddenly turned to face this sweet cackle of a laugh and voice, but this time I couldn't make out what they were saying, instead I felt my body muscle push away from the boy and charge at them, just like before. At that point in time, everything started to be normal again, except the pain in which I felt every time the boy started to get hurt. I cried out for him, I cried as hard as I possibly could go and that's when everything went dark and I woke.

"Astrid!!! Astrid!! Breathe its okay breathe..." I was in the arms of Jack as he was wiping away the sweat on my forehead with a wet cloth cooling me down. I was clinging onto him real tight and he didn't seem to mind at all. "Your okay, it's okay, nothings gonna happen..." he kept soothing me. I didn't know how to react. For a start I'm just confused in why I am led on Jack's bed and he is with me.

Once I looked at the floor it was clear that he didn't sleep in the bed with me but still, why was I in the bed? That's when I remembered I fell asleep on him when I came and spoke to him yesterday. I began to slow down my pace breathing and decided to say "What happened?" he sighed and answered "It seemed you had a nightmare and you started screaming like mental."

"Who started screaming like mental?" both our eyes wandered to the door to see Hayden standing looking completely shocked. That's when I realised that I was led on top of Jack while he was underneath me and to Hayden that isn't a very good picture, not a great one at all. "What's going on?" he choked out. "Hayden this isn't what it looks like trust me!" Jack piped up quickly and spoke.

"Then what does it look like?!" Hayden spat out. "Hayden, I fell asleep in his room when I came to talk to him by accident and had a nightmare, that's all, there is nothing going on you have to believe me." I looked at Jack and back to him and Jack nods. "Seriously mate, I would never do anything like that to you, and you know that so please don't get made."

"How can I believe any of this?!" he suddenly rushed into the room and attached Jack to the ground. "HAYDEN!!! HAYDEN STOP, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!" I watched as they fought each other on the ground and watched as droplets of blood seeped its way down to the wood. "I didn't do anything Hayden, you have to believe me!!"

"How can I believe what I just saw you idiot!!" they punched hard and Jack got up and held Hayden down in a headlock and said to him "If you don't want to believe me then, believe her, she would never so that to you, so why on earth would she do it to me when we aren't even close to each other," Hayden stopped fighting and looked down my weak soul of eyes.

"Please stop, I didn't do anything," his breath started to calm down and he released the tense feeling inside him and Jack let him go, I watched as he feel to the ground on his knees. I ran to his aid and checked for any damage. "Are you hurt?" he shook his head and looked at me deep, so I looked back at him deeper. "I believe you," I pulled him against me slowly and wrapped my arms around him while he did the same to me.

"I would never do that to you okay Hayden, never, because I love you..."

"I love you too Ally." He caressed my face and we shared a kiss before leaving the room together, leaving Jack alone.
