"Molly," I hear someone call my name.

"Molly," now it's shaking me.

"Molly!" the person screams and it takes me no time for me to open my eyes.

"Molly, wake up,"

I look around into my surroundings, I was still in the car. I look at Joel, his hand is on my shoulder.

"You alright?" He says, when I finally look at him.

"yeah, yeah, just had a weird dream," I reply. I feel dizzy, I feel sick. I touch my forehead, and its pounding.

"Molly," Joel touches my forehead, "your burning hot. We need to get you inside,"

He unbuckles his seat belt, and quickly gets out of the car and opens my door. He carefully takes my hand and pulls me out. He puts his hand on my waist and takes my arm and hooks it around his neck for support.

I feel sick and my head is pounding like crazy.

He takes the keys to the house from his pocket, his arm still on my waist and unlocks the door. Once we get in, he settles me on the couch.

He gets out of the living room and goes into the kitchen, scattering through the cabinets. I look around and everything feels blurry.

He comes back with a pill in one of his hands and a bottle of water with his other hand, "swallow this," he hands me the pill and the water.

"Joel I'm fine, it's just a headache," I say, refusing to take the pill.

"Molly, listen to me now and take the damn pill," He says, and basically puts the item in my hands.

I sigh, and swallow the pill with the water.

"you're going to be okay," Joel says, rubbing my forehead, "call for me if you need anything," and with that he leaves the room.

I lay my head back against the couch. My head pounding more and more each second.

I close my eyes. I think about him. The man I thought I would love forever. The man I trusted the most. The man who told me beautiful things. The man who said he loved me. But then left me. Left me like a lost puppy.

And then I think about yoandri. The man I met at Starbucks. The man who bought me a drink. The man who was the cause of why I work at that restaurant. The man who is my fake lover. The man I opened up to. The man who told me he wants me to accept him into my world. Where I am his. The man who cares about me. But now he is long gone. And it's my fault.

....

I walked down the hallways of my school. That's when I saw Ariel standing by my locker.

"Gosh, I've been waiting for you," she says once I reached my locker.

"Oops sorry, I was running late," I say sarcasm in my voice.

"your always late," she says, rolling her eyes.

I chuckle. I put in my combination and my locker opened. I got my books I needed for my 1st period.
