* "Get back here!" I heard a loud boom. I was running not knowing where my feet were taking me. Anywhere away from him, I don't care. I felt myself trying to run, but I couldn't move, the darkness was closing in on me. "I've got you now!" I let out a scream as i felt a strong grip on my wrist. I closed my eyes waiting for the beating, but nothing came. What? I opened my eyes and he slowley started to fade away.*

I jolted up from my bed. I was covered in sweat, and my body was shaking. I've been having nightmares for the past 3 years, but not just any nightmares. In each dream there was a man, the same man to be exact. He was young, maybe early 20's I'm guessing. He has blonde hair quiffed up to the right. He has these piercing blue eyes that just makes you want to trust him. They make you fall under his spell. In each dream he would attack me. Even though it's only a dream, I sometime fear of being alone. Weird I know,

I stood up from my bed and checked the time, it was 2:37 a.m. I shuffled over to my door and headed for the kitchen to make myself some coffee. As I reached the kitchen  felt a light breeze blow down my back. " What the hell?" I whispered to myself. Someone had left the wondow open to the living room. Here in Maine we don't always have the best weather. Right now it was freezing. So i shut the window and headed back for the kitchen.

I watched as the black coffee poured into my mug. I love black coffee. I sat on my couch and flipped through the channels until I came upon my favorite show, Criminal Minds. There was a marathon going on so i decided since it was almost three in the morning to just relax, try to get my mind off the nightmare, and watch some TV. I must have fallen asleep because at  ten o'clock there was a knock on my door. I turned the TV off and opened the door to reveal who was on the other side, Conner

"Oh hey, Connor! I didn't expect to see you today" I greeted "Yeah I thought I'd stop by to see if you were ok. Mrs. Williams called and said she heard loud screaming coming from your house early this morning." "Is everything alright, Diana?" I froze, my whole body numb. I hadn't told anyone about these nightmares except my old friend Sally. Unfortunately she died in a car crash 2 years ago.

"Hello, earth to Diana."

"Oh..yeah what?"

"You look like you haven't slept in days. Here come sit down before you pass out on the floor" he motioned me to the couch and made sure I was stable, and went to make me some tea. I've known Conner for a year, and I've had a little crush on him for awhile. He's so sweet and adorable. He always wants to make sure I'm ok. Like today, I'm probably smiling like an idiot right now, but I can't help it.

"Here you go." He handed me  my tea and took a seat next to me. I loved his tea. It reminds me of my moms, how she used to make it. "Thank you, Conner it smells delicious." I said "Anytime, now are you going to tell me why Mrs. Williams called me at three in the morning to tell me she heard screaming?" My heart raced and my palms got sweaty. What do I say to him? Can i trust him? Of course I can, he tells me everything I shouldn't keep anything from him. Before I could decide my mouth beat me to it.

"My cat bit me while I was trying to go to the bathroom." God I'm so stupid!

"Diana, you don't have a cat" he chuckled "You're allergic, remember?"

"Oh yeah... hahaha."

"You know you can tell me anything right?" Yes, no, I don't know! "Look Conner, it's not easy to just tell someone. Please don't get mad at me. It's just I've never told anyone, this is something that I never want to share." There I said it, and I meant it. No can ever know.

"I'm not mad, I get it. But if you change your mind I'm here, I always will be. I'm not forcing you to tell me. When you're ready, you're ready."

"Thank you for being so understanding Conner. I appreciate it, alot."

"Of course Diana anytime, but I should get going. I got to get ready for work."

"Oh sorry for keeping you. I'm so sorry."

"You weren't keeping me" he laughed, god that laugh.

"Oh, ok well I'll see you at work then, bye"

"Bye and Diana, keep safe. Ok?"

"I will, I promise. No more calls from Mrs. Williams"

"Haha, ok bye" And with that he was gone. I'm glad to have a friend so understanding has Conner. No matter what you're rambling on about. He will sit there and listen to every word you had to say. And he'll never judge you. If only there were more people in the world like him. Maybe there is.

I looked at this clock and it said 12:30 time to get ready for work. I work in a small Café just two blocks away from my apartment. So I normally walk unless its raining or there is a storm. I turned the shower to warm, stripped my pajamas off, and hopped in the shower. While singing Animal by Kesha I washed my hair and body and jumped out. I ran to my room fast to avoid the cold air.

I dug through my closet and found a loose cream colored shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans. I still had 20 minutes to leave. I decided to just through my hair up in a bun because my curling iron takes forever to heat up. I slipped on a pair of flats and rushed to the kitchen to grab something to eat before I left.

As I stepped outside I put in my head phones and scrolled down my music list on my iPod. I chose Skinny Love by Birdy. I started walking my way to work.

(Sorry If it's to short, but i promise I'll make the next chapter longer :) Also the spacing looks weird on my screen so sorry for that.
