"Amelia?"

I hear someone calling my name..

"Amelia?"

I hear it again as if someone is saying it inside my mind.

I put my hands on my head, pulling my hair. Someone is clawing at my skull, ripping it.

"Honey, don't be afraid." The voice tells me and I feel slightly relieved.

"Who are you?" I ask in a shaky voice and I see a shadow coming near me. Wait. That was inside my head, how did it become a shadow?

I start shivering and I hold up my knees until they touch my chest, that would give me access to put my head between them.

"I was once like you. Look at me now, a shadow."

"What happened to you?" I ask and the voice laughs painfully.

"I gave up." The voice tells me and I gasp. It comes near me but then it starts to drift away.

"Amelia wake up!!"

"Amelia!"

I open my eyes and look around me to see who is calling my name. My eyes lock with Ray's and I feel like I'm confused.

"It was just a nightmare." She gives me a small smile and I return it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asks me and I shake my head no.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"6:30. Your classes start at 9 right?" She asks and I nod.

"Okay, I gotta go. Have some sleep and drink this glass of water." I give her a kiss and she pulls the blanket up to cover me. That was a really weird dream..

The day at college isn't that bad so far. Sam is sitting with his new girlfriend and believe me, everyone is staring at me like I'm an alien. I don't blame them, we were the cutest couple and now we are nothing.

"He is the one who lost the most beautiful girl in the town." Betsy, a girl in my class, tells me and I laugh. She's so sweet!

I thank her and she winks. Everyone showered me with questions about being at home all the week and I dismiss them immediately. I won't tell anyone so that they pity me. I don't need pity.

I enter to the class of Biology and try as much as I can not to look at Sam's direction. For my good fortune, everything went well and now it is 2. I almost forgot that I have to catch up with Adam. What if he forgot about it?

I pick my phone from my back pocket when it vibrates and I smile when I see Adam's name.

"I'll be waiting for you outside."

I hurry outside and I see him leaning on a black BMW. It immediately catches my eye, he has a really good taste in cars. Actually, he has a good taste in everything.. He is dressed in tight black jeans, black converse and a white t-shirt. Simple, but hot! I can't help but feel like crap. I'm wearing a converse, blue jean shorts and a simple gray top.

"Hi." he gives me one of his charming smiles and I definitely look like a tomato right now. How is it possible to be that beautiful?

"Hello." I reply politely and he opens the door for me. I thank him and buckle my seat belt. The car looks so new and the smell of leather fills the car. For a guy in his 20s, he really takes care of his car. You can't see a sign of dust on it.
