Happily ever Nightmare

Chapter 26

~Lyric Greeley~

New years eve always held the hope of something better coming soon. I hope for that to come. The hope of Will might someday appear out of nowhere and tell me his apologies. How he didn't ment what he said or that he didn't ment to push me away. I didn't know if it was even worth hoping for anymore. That hope in me died by the tick of the clock. its been four days and if he wanted to apologize it would have happend by now. He would have knocked on my door and when I open it he will hug me tight. But I guess things don't happend the way you always hope it would be. Nope it really doesn't instead you get the worst outcome. I guess it was ment to been this way, I guess.

"-and he walked me home" Lea finished and I snap back to reality. I spaced out again.

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked her again and she grunted.

"Lyric you in there?" she said as she knocked on my head and I push her hand away.

"You've been spacing out lately you know that? I mean when we were shopping you said nothing while I asked for your opinion and now I'm telling you I went to my first date with Allen you space out" she said.

"You went to a date with Allen?!" I asked shocked and she scowled at me.

"I told you already, like when we got here at the food court" she said and my lips formed an O.

"Lyric are you okay?" she asked me.

No Lea I'm not and wilk never be. But I can't tell her. I mean she's my bestfriend and all but I don't want to spread my stupidity. How I've been so stupid believing that Will and I could be. How stupid of me!

"Nothing I just didn't get any sleep last night" I said and she examined me. I alnost sighed when she didn't spot any hint that I was lying to her.

"So newyears eve is coming and Allen and I thought about seeing the fireworks together" she said as she blushed and beamed with excitment.

I didn't know why but I felt sad. I know I should be happy for Lea but how can I? I was supposed to see the fireworks with Will if he was there at the rooftop, If he didn't pushed me away. I guess the sadness revealed itself to Lea since she looked at me worriedly.

Her hand rested on my shoulder and she tilted her head to the side. "Lyric are you okay?" she asked but this time I couldn't hide it. I couldn't muster a smile. The tears stubbornly fell and flooded my eyes.

"No Lea, I'm not" I said and she hugged me. The people at the mall were giving us odd looks but I couldn't care less. It was so painful it hurt so bad. The sadness the pain of missing him but he dosent miss me. He dosent care how miserable I am. He dosent care, he will never will.

I pulled away from Lea and wiped my tears. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry" I said as tears fell again.

"Why? Whats going on with you?" she asked worried.

"Its nothing I just... I'm going home" I told her and walked away.

**

I received six miss calls in total from Lea. I know its wrong not telling but... I just can't. She mustve told Allen what happend at the mall since he kept on sending concerned messages.

I was curled on mu bed hugging my soft pillow while I stared at the window next to my bed. "Why are you doing this to me?" I asked an imaginary Will.

I closed my eyes and yet another tear slipped out. I don't think the tears will ever stop dropping. I don't think this pain will ever go away. But you did Will Carter... in a snap you faded like vapour.

By then someone sweeped me off my bed and carried me without an effort. "P-put me down!" I shouted  but the person didn't.

"Just leave me alone!" I said with anger.

But the person carrying me didn't respond. He didn't even told me who he was. I'm here hanging on his shoulder like a sac.

He placed me in his car and I looked around. I've never been in this car before. The inside of the car looks expensive, leather black seats and the new car smell. The driver's side door opened and he climbed in.

Raven

He looked tired and his hair was messy. He started the car and we zoomed away. He was wearing a blue shirt and some dark pair pf pants. He had sunglasses hanging on the collar of his shirt.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

He didn't answer me and just drove the car. His eyes focused on the road as it swiftly glanced at the rearview mirror and on the side mirrors.

After what seemed like an eternity of silence in the car we stopped at the place where I never thought I would be ending up on. "Why are we at the beach? its night time you know" I told him and he looked at me. His eyes showed concern and something more that made my heart jump.

"I need to show you something" he said and I nodded.

We both got out of a car which was a yellow ferrari by the way. Its the car I saw at his house the time his real identity gone out. The breeze of the cold december brush my skin which made me shiver.

"You must be cold..." Raven said and he opened the car door again. He brought out a coat and handed it to me. "Here" he said and I smiled.

Why would he bring me to the beach? And in eleven in the evening. We walked near the water as the waves roared and splashed. It was the perfect view of the moon and the stars popping out. It was beautiful and somehow I couldn't stop looking at it.

"I heard from Lea..." he said and I mentally face plamed myself.

"Of course you did... look if youre gonna ask its nothing just forget about it" I said not daring to even look at him.

"I don't need to... its because of him isn't it" he said and I looked at him.

How did he know? Was he there when it happend too? No, Of course he did he's his twin for crying out loud. "So he told you" I guessed I looked at the sand.

"Nope, I figured it out" he said and I looked at him.

"I'm sorry Lyric... but c'mon stop sulking about it and live your life" he said.

How can I? When all I go to reminds me of him. The park, my dad's garage and Jo. The things I was used to seeing he smudged it all with his Carterness.

"Todays New years eve Lyric and you're missing out on the fun" he said and I looked at my hands.

Its new years eve... well not yet but still. I'm missing it and I'm wasting it. But what's the point? Everything is still the same.

"And so... I prepared this" he said as he sat on a blanket and I looked at him confused.

"Prepared what?" I asked and he patted the spot next to him.

I sat next to him looking at the view infront of me. The ocean stretched out into the darkness. The glow brought by the moonlight and the stars. Yep definitley gorgeous. But then it was erupted with splashed of colors hitting the sky. And then the view turned amazing. It was now added with the colorful fireoworks that exploded.

"Happy New years Lyric you deserve you deserve to be happy" he said and he kissed my cheek. Then a new form of eruption was started but the difference was it was in my stomach.
